"Island Princess 315 - Disappointed that the ice maker did not work. Also both outside and 1 inside door handles were missing so was very hard for children to open the doors.
View wax beautiful"

"We had a wonderful stay. Needed to book at the last minute and grateful for a space that could sleep more than 8 people. We are a family of 9, children ranging from ages 22-8. As I compared the cost along with square footage of the condos, this one did charge more. I assume it was for the second set of bunk beds. The space to move around was definitely less than we imagined once we were there. The pictures were a little distorted.
Our first disappointment was the sliding doors out to the patio. It had a sign stating it was not in working order. However we could get to the patio from the door in the master sweet. This was an inconvenience for my husband and I, but we made it work.
The fridge and freezer took a full 24 hours to come to safe temperatures, causing us to have to wait to purchase groceries for meals.
For the price I would have expected rentals for umbrellas and beach chairs to be included in our condo package.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back."

Rental was great! Clean and well stocked. Great location. Great views of the beach.
Light switches are messed up in this unit. Can’t turn on one without turning another on or off. Probably need an electrician to check it out. Also box in the living room did not work . We had to move a box out of one of the bedrooms."

"Great place to stay - This is a beautiful property and the check in and out was easy. It comes with beach service for chairs and umbrella but they assign them and it is almost impossible to get to be on the front row. They say they rotate who's on the front row but I was there for a week and never was. This is no fault of the VRBO but thought I should let others know. Overall a great time and relaxing. Would rent it again."

Thank you for being our guest and your comments. The beach service has the space in front of the building to accommodate all of the guests. During busy seasons they will need to set up 3 rows of chairs.

We absolutely loved our time at the Island Princess at Fort Walton Beach. The condo was comfortable and clean. The location was very convenient to many restaurants and a grocery store. We loved that the beach was just a quick walk away and the view from our balcony was gorgeous. The beach chairs and umbrella set up for us each day was a great bonus. We also enjoyed the pool. The staff was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions."
