Reviewer Comments: Overall I thought it was excellent and when there were issues, property management was very responsive and acted like they enjoyed taking care of us. The gate to the pool clanged all day but it wasn't that noticeable except when I was on graveyard shift (fixed with earplugs). Also, pretty much any random person you bumped into was cool.

Family Vacay

Spent a week with my 2 grandkids age 16 and 7. The unit was clean. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes and cookware. Pool was nice and just a short walk to beach. Very kid friendly. The only negative thing was there was construction going on and it was noisy at times and also parking was hard due to Thee construction. They were up front about the construction when we rented the unit. All in all it was a good experience and I would definitely rent this unit again

Nice facility, good location

Nice facility in a good location. Enjoyed the free activity, Cattywampus Sunset Dolphin Cruise, very much. There was sand on the floors and a spot on the kitchen counter. Supposed to be designated parking space, but we couldn't find it. Saw a roach in the middle of the night on the kitchen counter - called and asked for pest control, but don't know if they came.

We wore socks at night and they were literally full of dirt by the time we went to bed. The bathroom has chipped countertops. The refrigerator was broken the night we checked in. I think more attention should be taken for the amount of money we put out for a weeks stay.

Too Noisy to enjoy

When first arrived, discovered that the room was between the pool and the elevator. The picture shows the location above the pool, but the description of the unit did not indicate the amount of noise that created. Constant yelling occurred until 11 pm every night. Then going to bed, the unit was right next to the main elevator. the noise of the elevator going up and down was loud and continued all through the night. The floors were so dirty that if you walked in bare feet, they were black from a walk from the back to the front of the unit. There were three light fixtures not working and when we arrived the stove had tripped the breaker and did not work.

Summer vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a last minute rental due to a problem with our regular summer vacation plans. The place was nice. It’s a little outdated and needs to be cleaned. Really really well. The drapes in the bedroom have a very musty, smell and look old and dirty, and it was very loud because of the construction on the building nearby, even though the condo overlooks the pool, there was constant screaming and yelling of kids and adults at all hours of the day and night. Also the blinds in the main living room need to be darker instead of white because it’s impossible to sleep in in the morning chair service Was great, but the people Who run it, an attitude . The condo was not terrible but just needs a little updating and some TLC... Was nice being on one of the bottom floors so we didn’t have to take the elevator all the time. Overall, it was a decent week. I did enjoy my visit but not sure I would stay here again.

Not clean

The property is not well maintained, there was broken pieces on both bathroom cabinets and one of the side tables in the living room, and grout missing from a part of the floor. We were not left with enough linens for all the beds so had to sleep on a bare mattress the first night. The beds also weren't made up. We found the blankets in the bedroom closet and made them ourselves. Now, the more concerning parts: it was not clean. The floor was black in the crevices, the curtains are discolored where many hands have grabbed them to shut them and they've obviously never been cleaned. There was MOLD on the curtains. Clumps of dust on the ceiling that were falling on us throughout our stay. I brought all this to their attention and all we got was a maid that came to sweep and mop. I was told nothing else can be done because the unit has to be vacant for a deep cleaning and the curtains need to be ordered. The location is great. If you're interested in staying at the Island Princess, I encourage you to look for other units not managed by Brooks and Shorey because these are not issues that spontaneously pop up overnight. This is the result of not properly cleaning and maintaining the property between guests, period.

Worst Vacation Ever

We have made Island Princess our vacation getaway 3-4 times per year for a number of years using VRBO. We have always loved this property and Okaloosa Island. This trip was, however, the worst vacation we have ever had. Looking back it was anything BUT a vacation. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find no working A/C or washing machine. When dealing with the property management company, Brooks and Shorey, they were pleasant and alluded to a compensation for the nonexistent washer. BUT there was no call initiated by them after our departure in follow up . . . no apology, no thank you for letting us now repair previously broken appliances during your personally paid vacation, no what can we do to compensate you, no anything. Not wanting to be THAT guy/THAT gal writing a bad review, we sent an email to Brooks and Shorey hoping to come to a fair resolution. We were met with a compensation offer of $133 and some cents. Not sure how this figure was calculated, but it hardly seems fair considering our experiences as follows: We like a good adventure and meeting new people as much as the next guy, but the next 5 days of vacation were spent with 13 different service people in our condo, some making numerous visits. If you enjoy being given a 3-hr window to expect the service guy every day; handwashing your laundry, dragging box fans around to stay cool, running an obstacle course thru the narrow hall for 1 1/2 days around the displaced washer/dryer, and having your very own water feature, aka a broken water main, then Island Princess 208 is for you. We are extremely disappointed with the condo owner and with Brooks and Shorey. We paid for an ocean front condo and only really had one day of vacation without having to "work" for Brooks and Shorey and the owner, cleaning up and meeting service people. Very disillusioned, VRBO!

Beach Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was able to access the condo earlier than anticipated and was very pleased upon entering the unit. After being there for a while, I realized the floors were extremely dirty and had not been cleaned properly. I had to wear shoes the entire time because the dirt was everywhere. There are broken cabinets in the kitchen, the shower faucet in the bath area has accumulated mold on it. The mattresses are extremely old and were very uncomfortable. I had to sleep on the couch (not the pull out), just the couch as the mattress was so bad. If the property were updated and given a thorough cleaning, I would recommend it to a friend as the view was perfect. However, in it's current state, I could not recommend. The location was great for beach access. Not located near any restaurants so an uber was required to go to the grocery store, restaurants, and tourist attractions. I believe these points should be mentioned in the rental description as I flew in and did not have a rental car. The furniture was nice in the living room area. I did the jet boat ride in Destin and was able to see many dolphins. I would definitely recommend this activity. The shopping at the Destin Harborwalk was fun. I enjoyed The Shack and Tail Spin restaurants. The Fudgery store in Destin had the best caramel apples I have ever eaten. In the email I received prior to my arrival, I was advised I needed to bring toilet paper, hair dryer and paper towels. I think the description should indicate that enough paper products are available in the unit for a few days, along with detergent for laundry and dishwasher. I had to pack these things as I was not aware they would actually be available in the unit. It was a restful and enjoyable 5 days. The young men setting up the umbrellas and chairs were friendly and helpful.
