  Great location! Building clean and well maintained. Unit 3L is clean and the two bedroom two bath is a great size. Unit does have too much furniture and decoration that limits movement. Dishwasher works great but needs to be cleaned- definite odor in the appliance.

  We had a lovely stay. Overall the entire property is very clean, but the rugs and carpet in the unit could use a good cleaning. Also, the dishes were not clean in the cupboard.
  Otherwise, had everything we needed and can't beat the location.

    Thanks for your feedback. I will pass it along to the head of housekeeping to get this taken care of. We are so glad you enjoyed the location and hope you will come back soon to use your return guest discount.

  a guest from Hernando, MS recommends this vacation rental

  We had a nice experience at Island Echos 3L. The Brooks and Shorey reps we worked with were always attentive and kind. The condo was nicely appointed, even if the greenery and columns throughout were dated--IMO, just take them out and leave it more spacious and "airy." Loved the view of the ocean, and the beach service was great. A few suggestions: We really wanted a lock on the main bedroom door: an easy switch out. We also could've benefited from a refreshed silverware drawer--just a few extra spoons and forks would've been helpful. Otherwise, things were well stocked and Island Echos overall is a good, clean building! Thanks for everything!

  This gaited condo was perfectly situated close to the beach. The condo was very clean and the kitchen well supplied with everything needed to prepare our meals. Even though we were on the 3rd floor over the pool 3L was well insulated from the noise. Loved our star at Echo Island and highly recommend it over the larger busy high rise condos.

  Olga S from Louisville, KY recommends this vacation rental

  The property is as pictured. Plenty of space for our group of 4 with a toddler. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking essentials and then some. The only things missing-are dish detergent and sponge as well as salt/pepper. Property was clean and had enough toilet paper/paper towels for the whole week. We loved our ocean view and short walk to the beach/pool. The furniture and decor is definitely dated and the coffee table was missing the middle glass insert. We called housekeeping to inform them but they never responded. The other issue was the shower door in the master suite is only attached at the top rail not the bottom. Seems like a safety concern to me. The biggest complaint was the loud sound/vibration in the second bedroom from the air conditioning when running. Our guest had a hard time sleeping in that room.

  a guest from MONROVIA, IN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This is a nice unit but...the carpet in master bedroom was filthy! It had huge stains on it. Exactly the reason I don't like any carpet in vacation rentals. Way too many artificial plants taking up valuable space. Just editing these items ie. huge basket above refrigerator, plant stand behind sofa, huge plant stand in bedroom and many more would be more up to date. Also only straight on ocean views as sides are blocked was disappointing. Replacing/cleaning carpet, editing/removing decorations could make this a great condo.

    thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback on your stay.. We are glad to hear you enjoed your stay ..

We hope this does not deter you from visiting us again.

  a guest from Franklin, TN does not recommend this vacation rental.

  This is a lovely, well-maintained little condo. It is smaller than I expected from the photos, but worked ok for our family of 4. One disappointment was that you can't look to the west from the balcony because the condo is recessed. It is a small balcony. The furniture and decor were very nice and it appears that it is one of the more updated condos at Island Echos. The beds were reasonably comfortable. LOVE the full sized washer/dryer. The kitchen was much smaller than expected from the photos and no view of the beach from the kitchen. It is nicely updated. I would recommend replacing the toaster. It will toast on one side fine, but completely burn the other side. There is a nice bar height table and two chairs on the balcony, which is perfect for seeing over the railing. We like to eat on the balcony, so it would have been nice to have four bar height chairs instead of two. There are two, low height plastic chairs on the balcony so the kids got stuck with those. There are no chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, boogie boards, etc., and nowhere to store them. Travis, with Sunset Beach Service, was HORRIBLE -very rude and sarcastic, with a terrible attitude. VERY bad customer service experience with him. We will never rent at Island Echos again because of him or any place that uses this beach service - the ONLY reason we can't recommend this condo. And just an fyi, even though beach service comes with the rental, the chairs are first come, first served, so you will have to be an early riser, or settle for whatever can be found somewhere down the beach. People start claiming their chairs by 8 am. Hated that. Travis pockets cash bribes to put your name on a setup to reserve it for you. Don't think it is the service's policy because he couldn't quote us an exact price. Brooks & Shorey don't answer messages sent through their app, so call them. Could have given a more helpful review but limited characters prevent it.

  • Manager Responded on 10/20/2017

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us such detailed review about your stay . We are glad to hear you enjoyed the coziness Island Echos 3L offers all of their guest. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience encountered during your stay and will be sure to let our staff know about the issue with the toaster . We have gone through all of the messages on the app and cannot seem to locate one from you, we try to reply to all of our message in a timely manner as to ensure all possible issues are addressed. The Beach Service is setup everyday (depending on the weather) the location of the chairs is first come first serve but they almost always set up extras, in any case if there are no sets available for use we recommend just asking the beach guys to set up an extra pair. We surely hope this does not deter you from visiting us again at the beautiful Okaloosa Island, we do manage 160 condos on the Island and we are sure we can find the perfect condo for your next vacation!

  Laura F from Lake Lotawana, MO recommends this vacation rental

  This unit had an excellent location. Close to the pool and beach with excellent beach view. The unit was clean and in good condition upon arrival. We had a couple of minor issues: there was no blanket for the pull out couch-- only a sheet. The unit did not have enough toilet paper for a family so we had to buy some. There was a coffee maker in the unit but no coffee filters. No dish soap or windex to assist in cleaning up the kitchen. I have stayed at several properties and always there were things like coffee, blankets, dish soap and a few cleaning supplies. I loved the management company's app and not having a key to carry around! Very nice place to stay overall-- just missing a few small details that would have added to the experience.

  Great condo! It was very clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful view of the beach from the balcony.

  • Manager Responded on 7/28/2017

    Island Echos condos are a great location, lots of updates on property to help keep it up to and above standards. The third floor condo is a gem, it's got all the amenities one would need while taking a break from reality to spend time in paradise. 3L has it all and we're so glad you enjoyed staying here. Please note Brooks and Shorey has a return guest discount and we'd love to get this in all your future bookings with us so call us directly so we can get that applied! We look forward to hearing from you again soon.

  Joni A from Covington, GA recommends this vacation rental

  There was over one hundred young boys staying at our property. When they used the beach it made it VERY crowed and chaotic. It made it feel like u were at an overcrowded water park! If we had known a boys camp was using the complex we would have stayed elsewhere.

  • Manager Responded on 6/19/2017

    We appreciate the feedback from your stay in Island Echos and we are so sorry for the crowd you experienced during your stay, we certainly have no way of knowing what sort of groups are renting the condos at any time. We do have considerably smaller crowds and fewer people altogether on Okaloosa Island here in Fort Walton Beach. In comparison to nearby cities like Destin and Pensacola. Thank you for your patience and understanding on this situation as we have no control over this specific item. Please come back again for another vacation in paradise, off season rates are wonderful and weather stays amazing pretty much year round so maybe try a getaway at a different time of year to see how peaceful we really are.

  My husband and I booked this condo for a very last minute weekend get away. The condo was very nicely updated, very clean and very spacious! Beautiful ocean views from the bedroom, living room, and balcony. Being on the third floor made for very convienient walk to the pool, beach, and parking. The free golf passes,daulphin cruise, snorkel tour, and movie rentals were such a cool bonusl! My husband golfed Saturday morning and really enjoyed the beautiful course! We loved the area! Beautiful water, not over crowded and just a couple of blocks away from our favorite restaurant- Old Bay Steamer! We will definitely book this unit again! Brooking was very quick and simple- Great price for such a nice condo!

  Second time staying in this particular unit, and loved it both times. Very clean and nicely decorated. The only complaint I have is not with the actual condo or property(both great)is with Brooks and Shorey. We've stayed here two years in a row and were not informed about the repeat stay discount. I found out about it through another review. I contacted Brooks and Shorey about this before our stay hoping they would honor the discount, unfortunately they did not. I am big on customer service and I realize there are other providers and condos as nice as the unit we stayed in so because of this I probably would not use or recommend Brooks and Shorey again. That being said I would recommend this unit and property.

  • Manager Responded on 8/2/2015

    Thank you for taking time to submit your online review and most of all, thank you for being a return customer! We are glad you had an enjoyable time at the ISLAND ECHOS and liked both the condo and the property. Please accept our apologies about refusing the return customer discount. That is definitely a mistake / misunderstanding on our end and we will make sure that all of our customer service representatives fully understand our return customer discount policy. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. At this time we went ahead and applied the discount to your reservation and refunded the funds to your credit card. We have also sent you a receipt via e-mail as a confirmation of a refund. Our VP will be reach out to you as well to apologize about this as we highly value our customers. We sure hope to see you again on the Okaloosa Island and again, we are very sorry for our mistake.

  Ft Walton is a great area for family and kids away from the crowds of Destin. The property is ideally located towards the middle of the resort strip. The condo was a great size for our two families. Kitchen was very nice with granite and stainless appliances. The king bed was very comfortable. The view from the patio was impeccable and we even managed to sight dolphins in the evening. The pool was great for the kids but a little cold on few days. The building was in great shape and did not show its age.Overall we had a really great experience in the condo and will not hesitate to come back.

  Beautifully decorated place. Very clean, well kept and comfortable. Great view of the beach, pool and Gulf. Easy to get to pool and beach, and Wonderful for relaxing and sitting at both. Sand is white and beautiful, but not good for long distance walking- very soft! But, perfect in every other way! Building and grounds staff were friendly, helpful and extremely personable. Had to drive to get to restaurants and grocery, but it was easy and quick travel. Our daughters played and swam with dolphins and stingrays at nearby marine Adventure park (10 min away). Lots of fun. Kitchen well equipped for cooking and eating in. Sleeping accommodations extremely comfortable. We highly recommend!

  My husband and I enjoyed our stay at island echos unit 3L and would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. The check-in/check-out process was extremely fast and easy with Brooks and Shorey. The amenities that were included in our stay were great to have. We loved having beach chairs/umbrellas set up for us every morning by a guy named Eli. He knew our names and where we were staying as soon as we stepped onto the beach. We rented kayaks from him as well for $20 an hour, which was well worth it. We had a pod of about six dolphins swim around us one morning. Great experience! The unit was very clean and updated, perfect for my husband and I. The master had a great view of the ocean and a nice sized bathroom with double vanity, and if we had kids they could've stayed in the other room comfortably on two twin beds. The kitchen was equipped with everything I needed to prepare meals. The condo's grounds were well kept and clean. The pool was a good size and clean. My entire family stayed in different condos there for Fourth of July week. We had a great time watching the fireworks from the beach our last night. Overall we had a wonderful time!

The only issue and I wouldn't call it a complaint is that there was evidently something on the beaches called june grass that was a little annoying but nothing the property could control.Definitly would return to this property very much enjoyed it.

  Jayme G from Centralia, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed in Island Echoes 3L last week. The check-in process was very quick and we were in the condo, unpacked and headed to the beach within an hour of arriving. The condo itself was in a great location - it was far enough off of the main road to feel like we were away from the hustle and bustle but was close enough to Publix and entertainment that we didn't feel like anything was too out of the way. 3L was a beautiful condo - the kitchen was great and everything was exactly as expected from the photos. The one thing I thought was odd was that we didn't have any cleaning supplies. The dining room table is glass, for example, and we didn't have any Windex to clean it after eating. In the condos we've stayed in over the past few years, there are typically some cleaning items under the kitchen sink for use. We did buy some dish soap so that we wouldn't have to run the dishwasher (there aren't many plates/bowls/etc., so we had to do dishes after every meal). Overall, however, those issues were minor and we really had a great time.
  
  It was really nice to have the beach chairs and umbrellas every day and we took advantage of renting kayaks on our last day. My husband and I took our three daughters (7, 9, 18) and they loved going to the beach and also having access to the pool. We used the grills twice during our week as well - that was a really nice thing to have access to.
  
  Overall, I would recommend the condo and the property, especially for couples traveling with kids. This condo was great for family time and with the two twin beds in the second bedroom, it was perfect for our girls (our oldest slept on the fold-out couch).

  This was our 6th year staying at Island Echos and first year booking with Brooks & Shorey Resorts. We really like Island Echos as it is a quiet place to stay, the people you run into are so nice and friendly and the staff are very professional when you need them. We always recommend this condo when anyone asks us about going on vacation to the Destin/Okaloosa Island area.

  we loved everything about our room, location, the view. 100% satisfied and planning another trip in October. only 1 thing that kind of bothered us was running into a couple of different people on the elevator with dogs. just thought this wasn't allowed but would not stop us in any way from staying there again.

  • Manager Responded on 5/25/2013

    Becky, thank you for you review. We are happy you are already planning another trip. If you decide to stay with us please, remember to ask about our return customer discount. As for the pets - the condo associations do allow owners to bring their pets and that's why you ran into them in the elevator. Thank you for choosing Brooks and Shorey Resorts for your vacation.

  on arrival, 2 maintenance men in room installing dryer, dryer larger than previous, so door to laundry closet would not close so every time you came in the door was sticking out. Also, on Thurs. a call at 900am saying maintenance would be back to remove dryer,but never came. We did not wash any clothes thinking the dryer would be removed at any apology on checkout

  Joey B recommends this vacation rental

  Island Echos 3L is a very nice condo. We were visiting for spring break and several other families from our area were in the same building. Everyone that visited our room commented on the extras in the room (i.e. crown molding) that gave the room the extra feeling of home. The balcony overlooked the pool area and had a great view of the beach and the ocean. The beach chairs were awesome, just getting up everyday and knowing you had a nice place to sit and enjoy the ocean was awesome. I would definetly stay in this condo again if it were available at the time I needed it.

  After 1 week here scaffolding was put up outside our balcony for repairs to building. Using jackhammers dust was everywhere so couldn't use balcony. Pool was closed due to debris from repairs. It would have been great but for unexpected and distracting racket. We left sooner but were not given any refund.

  We loved the location of Island Echos and the overall property. There was parking lot maintenace going on the week we stayed, but even with that we didn't feel inconvienced. The pool and surrounding area was very nice. The condo was not as clean as I had expected. There was alot of dust on the furniture and the floors turned the bottom of our feet black. Overall it was a good stay, but would hope for a cleaner condo.

  We travel a lot, so I have stayed in many condos. Although the complex is a little old - as most on Okaloosa Island are, you can not tell in person. The complex and especially this unit were in excellent CLEAN condition. This condo overlooks the pool and the beach so is perfect for someone with kids.

  Maintenance on the tile floor in the lobby by the elevators caused the middle staircase to be closed the entire week, which was inconvenient. My daughter was never able to get online with her Iphone in the condo--either the wireless wasn't working or they did not have wireless at all.
  
  The free golf and dolphin cruise was an awesome amenity!! The free DVD rentals were not in a good location (right beside a "gentlemen's club" that we didn't want our children asking about), so we never used it.

  The condo was lovely and it was a nice quiet location. The only downside was our movie rental card. After finally finding the location of the box, the card would not work, we exchanged it for a new card which also did not work. It did cause some frustration for a couple nights, but besides that issue, everyone at the office was very nice and helpful.

  We enjoyed our stay at the Island Echos updated condo, rented through Brooks and Shorey, who we've used for years to rent properties on Okaloosa Island. The condo was beautiful. The single downside was a restricted view of the Gulf, due to the way the condos were constructed. We could not see the sunset. But overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the help we received from B&S.
