My husband and I spent a week here for our anniversary. The unit we stayed in was decorated nicely, but wasn't very clean. There were dust bunnies and cobwebs in many of the corners. All of the artificial plants looked like they hadn't been dusted for months. The bathtub in our unit was too dirty to use as anything except a shower. The water pressure was so poor that if water was running somewhere else in the unit the shower would not work. My biggest complaint is with Resort Quest. We had a problem with something in our unit and had to make 4 calls (3 of them that went to the 800 call center because no one was in the local office until after 10 and left by 5). No one ever contacted us. We got the situation resolved but I was disappointed that we had to make such an effort to get someone to help us. By the way, when the air conditioner kicked on in this unit, it sounded like someone was busting thru the front door. Since the unit was in the master bedroom it woke us up. We were told to turn the unit down in the 60's so it wouldn't shut off. So our choice was freeze, be too hot, or be woken up at night.

Amazing place to stay, perfect location, and great staff that went out of there way to accomadate the both of us. It's quiet and right up buy the beach. Every room has a beach front view, no matter what floor. Very clean and worth alot more then what you pay for. Once again, the staff was great and helpful. Tons of attractions, shopping, and great dinning. Destin is less then 4 miles away if you want to get a little loud and rowdy. Can't wait to plan our trip for next time, and it will be right here!!!!

This is our second trip to Destin and I have to say that while Island Echos is not the worst place I've ever stayed, its probably up in my top ten list. First thing, which is admittedly minor but adds to the overall shady feeling of the property is the after hours drop box where you have to get your keys. Its not a big deal but annoying. Our biggest issue is that we booked a room with a king bed and got a full bed. My husband is 6'4 and needless to say this doesn't work for us. When I called I was given the oh so generous option to "upgrade" to a different property for 90 USD a night! So basically twice what I paid for their mistake. They wouldn't even move me at the same resort because all they had were two bedroom condos. Maybe I'm old school but if I were customer service and I had a 3/4 empty hotel it would be worth it to me to make the customer happy and move them to an empty room. Also the decor is very 1980s with green carpeting and mirrors galore. Everything in the condo was beat up, chips/cracks/ black marks on the tile. Busted refrigerator door handle etc etc. They also have only one single wired internet connection which is annoying. due to the above mentioned bed issue I slept on the sofa bed. OMG! I have slept on Army cots that were more comfortable (no seriously). Overall, there are way better options for the money in Ft Walton/Destin area and I wouldn't waste your time coming here!

We stayed in 4G at Island Echos with our family...myself, husband, two teens, and my parents. It was a great getaway. No OIL!!! Beautiful water and beaches...just like 6 miles downs the road in Destin...no crowds on the PRIVATE beach. If we would have been on the first floor we could have reached out and touched the sand and water from our balcony. The entire back glass was nothing but ocean and beach view. Nice relaxing family getaway. Clean condo, nice decor, had absolutely EVERYTHING anyone could ever need...iron, crock pot, tupperware for left overs...LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!
