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.

    • Dear Angela, We really enjoyed our stay in your condo recently. Everything was so nice inside the condo. The view from the balcony was incredible and we enjoyed watching the dolphins everyday---nature's beauty! Just the relaxing atmosphere was enough to not want to return home. We are already planning a trip for next year! Thanks for everything! Forrest and Virgilee Jackson

      Homeowner Response:
      Virgilee and Forrest. Thanks, so much. I really enjoyed having you stay at the condo and hope you come back soon. You were delightful folks to work with. From a fellow and former Hoosier from Evansville. Angela

    • We are staying at this property, midway thru our 8 days here. We have stayed many places here in FWB but this is our new vacation home. This home is amazing. The owner is local which beats our last condo stay where we had an issue and the owner was 2 states away and couldnt help. (no issues at this one, for sure!) We are going to leave reluctantly.

      Homeowner Response:
      Pam, thank you so much for your nice comments. I am so happy that you've had a good time. I look forward to your future visits. Angela

    • We had a PERFECT time in your condo! We rented the condo for my in-laws who live in Tennessee. We didn't tell them they would be staying on the beach and they were thrilled to learn of our "big news". All of them cried and were very grateful of our gesture. Then when we actually walked into the 7th floor condo they were blown away! They even have aspirations to copy some of the decorator touches in the kitchen and bathrooms! The balcony was absolutely amazing and what a view! We spent most of our time out there watching dolphins and eventually the high surf from Hurricane Ike. Eventhough I live and work in Ft Walton, it was nice to experience a vacation through the eyes of our family who has never been to the ocean before. Thank you so much for offering such a lovely condo! The in-laws have decided to make this a yearly event so expect a call next year from the Cowans!

      Homeowner Response:
      I so appreciate your wonderful comments. I'm always happy when people enjoy themselves. I look forward to your return visit. Thanks, Angela

    • Angela, We wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely condo. It is by far the nicest condo we have stayed in over the past 10-12 years. All of your little extras make it very inviting. The beach was beautiful, the facility was nice and we really enjoyed our vacation. I was definitely not ready to come home! Thanks again for sharing your "beach home" with our family. We're looking forward to future visits!! Kim & Jerome Dwojak, Newburgh, IN

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks so much for your nice comments. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your stay and I'm looking forward to having you back again real soon. Take care. Angela

    • We had a great time at the beach. Thank you for having such a wonderful condo available for our vacation. The kids loved the beach and the weather was great. The condo was large enough for all 7 of us and made the trip very enjoyable.

      Homeowner Response:
      Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate hearing them and strive to continuously upgrade the unit for your vacation pleasure. Please let me know if I should add anything to make your stay more enjoyable. Hope to see you again next year. Angela

    • Angela, We had a wonderful time in your beautiful condo. It was just as beautiful as the pictures displayed. The beach was extremely close and absolutely gorgeous. The complimentary beach service was excellent. The best part was the oversized balcony! We took several walks up and down the beach and didn't come across another condo with as large of a balcony! Definately a plus! We had a very wonderful time and would definately return again!

      Homeowner Response:
      Thank you so much for your nice comments. I also appreciate your suggestions and will implement them for next year. Looking forward to seeing you again next year, Angela

    • This is our 12th year staying at Island Echo but our first in this particular condo. We have agreed it was the nicest one we have ever stayed in, with every convenience offered. We loved the how all furniture, appliances were updated and new. Bathrooms were out of this world, always a big plus in my book, having an updated bathroom with space. The extras such as an extra refrigerator and ice maker as well as the extra beds just added that extra convenience that pushed our stay over the edge. We will definitely try to get this particular condo in the future.

    • I was born in Fort Walton and had to move away years ago. I enjoy visiting family and friends and after many stays have found the place I will always return. The condo is a sheer delight and beautifully furnished. There was nothing we lacked - the kitchen provided everything we could have possibly needed. The patio is spectacular and we spent most of our time just enjoying the view. Thank you, Angela, for your superb hospitality and for opening your home for us to enjoy. We will definately return as soon as possible!

      Homeowner Response:
      Hi, Shari. It was great having you and your family here. I appreciate your kind comments and hope to see you again soon. Angela

    • Dear Angela, Our family has vacationed at the gulf coast for the last 15 years and each year I would search for a perfect place to stay that would offer what we need to accommodate our children as well as my senior parents comfortably and easily. This year it had to be extra special because we were celebrating my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. I am thrilled to say my search for the perfect location has finally ended. There was absolutely nothing else we could have asked for. You condo is beautiful and inviting! The location is ideal and so relaxing. I can't imagine a better place to stay. You provided us with a breathtaking view, a short walk to the water's edge, umbrella set up, a large refreshing pool and exceptional accommodations. Our vacation was worry free and we returned home with many wonderful memories. How blessed we are to have found you! We look forward to returning year after year. Angela, I can’t thank you enough for providing my family with such a beautiful setting for a very special event.

      Homeowner Response:
      Hi, Eileen. Thanks so much for your gracious comments. It was such a coincidence meeting you in Hawaii and then having you rent the condo here. I look forward to a long and happy friendship with you and your family. Take care and God bless. A
