Had a wonderful time. The condo was clean and had plenty of amenities. We have stayed in Destin/Ft Walton Beach many times. There’s plenty of restaurants and activities nearby and the beaches are beautiful.

Second time staying at Island princess in Fort Walton. Hosted by real joy. Very responsive. We had a cleaner come back with some concerns we had. Devin was so helpful and responsive within 20 minutes and had someone come back to clean within a couple hours. They were really amazing hosts. We will definitely be back!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Island Princess! We had the most amazing view of the ocean! The room was very clean and comfortable. If I had to choose anything at all that I would want to improve I would have to say the bedspread on the king bed. It was so small it didn't even reach side to side. But there were plenty of extra blankets which was nice! Still a five star from me!

Enjoyed our stay. However, this condo is so dated. The rugs and carpet are dirty and stained. Bed in master is very comfy and pillows are nice! Kitchen is well stocked with the basics. The staff from RealJoy are professional and helpful! Their response time is quick! Some of the permanent tenants of the building are a bit territorial and can be quite rude! Overall, a good experience! Make sure you check out Crab Island Jimmy’s Charters..it was worth the trip!

Absolutely gorgeous view!! The room was very clean and cozy. There were six of us in total including 4 children. We enjoyed our stay and felt right at home! There was plenty of space for a big family. We loved sitting on the balcony, watching, and hearing the waves-and the access right off of our bedroom was great! The washer & dryer is perfect so you don’t have laundry to do when you get home.
The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed.
The location is great, very short walk right behind the unit to the beach & pool. There are several restaurants within a decent walk or quick car trip.
No complaints…We would highly recommend and plan on coming back for sure!!

The Best Way to Relax
Such a beautiful location and truly the most relaxing vacation. We could enjoy seeing ocean views for miles both directions and enjoying the sounds of the ocean and dolphins swimming by while relaxing on the deck. Everything was absolutely perfect with one exception. Please take note the beach service is a completely separate cost for chairs & umbrellas for this property. The cost on average for 2 chairs and an umbrella were $50 per day. We assumed all the condos came with 2 chairs and an umbrella, but that is not the case anymore. Unfortunately, this was an extra cost we didn’t anticipate. Other than this missing detail, we were very happy with everything else. The team was very responsive to any questions were immediate and everything was clean and well kept. We will definitely be back!
