Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Island Echos
I actually bought the unit and lived in it for three years so it has a lot of upgrades that other units don't have. The Destin/Fort Walton Beach area is one of the most beautiful areas on this earth --- snow white sandy beaches, clear and clean emerald green waters. There's plenty to do with over a hundred golf courses within 50 miles, water parks, wonderful restaurants, snorkeling and scuba diving and fishing beyond compare.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
You'll never find another unit that is as spacious with a 32 foot balcony to enjoy sunrises and sunsets over the Gulf. We've gone the extra mile to make sure the unit is well equipped for a wonderful vacation. All you have to do is have a good time and make wonderful memories. Come see us!
Owner's Map of Island Echos
Hi, Y'all. My name is Angela Parkhurst and I'm fortunate to live in the very area where this condo is located. It's paradise on earth along this Emerald Coast. This makes it easy to manage my rental unit and be quick to resolve any issues (very few so far) that can arise.
I am the proud mother of three boys --- Jason, age 32, a professional photographer who travels all over the world taking photos for such publications as Sports Illustrated and USA Today, Cameron (Jason's twin), who lives in Atlanta and works very successfully in the wonderful world of finance, and Clark, age 29, who lives in Hollywood, CA where he works in the movie industry....he was on the special effects team that produced Academy Award winning "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." I also am the proud and doting Mom of a Schnoodle named Lulu.
Please come visit us. You'll love the condo and the incomparable view of the Gulf of Mexico.
