About this property

Gulf Front Island Princess 201 with Beach Service, Soft Beds and Recliners!

Island Princess 201

Enjoy this beautiful updated gulf front condo on the snow-white sands of Okaloosa Island. The emerald green waters are a feast for the eyes and the expansive beach is a wonderful playground for exploring or relaxing to the sound of the surf. Take in views of the dolphins and pelicans feeding in the shallows from the private covered balcony with bar height chairs.

This condo rents Sunday to Sunday during peak summer. Sundays are less crowded on the roadways entering Okaloosa Island and the elevators will not be as busy.

Our gorgeous completely remodeled condo is located on the second floor directly on the beach. You will enjoy the view and sound of the gulf from the master bedroom and living area. There is sliding door access to the balcony from both. We want you to feel at home and furnished a leather sectional with three recliners, a leather swivel chair and large flat screen TV. Our condo has three bedrooms, each with its own private full bath, and its own flat screen TV. There is a king-size, queen-size, and a twin over queen bunk with 4 inch memory foam toppers for you to enjoy. This is an allergy friendly unit with coastal wood-look tile throughout.

The beautiful open concept kitchen boasts tall raised panel cabinets with beautiful granite countertops. There are three swivel stools at the countertop bar in addition to the table with a seating for 7 with three on the bench. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances. The refrigerator has an in-door ice and water dispenser. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals for your family.

We invite you to vacation here, enjoy time at the beach, and make some memories. Island Princess has a pool heated as long as temperatures demand it to 85 degrees. There is also hot tub near the pool. Other activities to enjoy at the beach would be kayaking and stand up paddleboarding. Ask the beach service about rentals.

There is a barbecue pavilion with gas grills and a fitness center on site. There are plenty of parking spaces available. We do not own an assigned parking spot. Unit 201 is only a few steps to the stairs and the new elevator installed in 2018. We also include free beach service from March through October to include two chairs and one umbrella daily.

New washer and dryer in the unit

Keyless entry

Okaloosa Island is located off of the busy Emerald Coast Parkway with less crowded beaches. This complex is convenient to restaurants and activities. Nearby restaurants include: AJ’s Oyster Shanty, Asagio’s Skillet, Old Bay Steamer, Fubar (a bar that serves pizza), and a new addition in Stewby’s Seafood Shanty, my favorite local seafood joint.

There is a large store selling beach items at the entrance to Okaloosa Island. Brooks Marina is also nearby with a boat launch, boat storage, and pontoon boat rentals and jet ski rentals available.

A short drive would be the Boardwalk with a fishing pier and shops and restaurants. There is also a gulfarium . Across from the Boardwalk is Wild Willy’s Adventure Zone with animatronic mini golf, a treetop ropes course, trampoline jump and arcade. They will also add laser tag and go-carts soon.

I would recommend visiting HarborWalk Village six miles away in Destin. There are several restaurants there, shopping, and activities for kids and weekly events including a fireworks show in the summer on Thursday nights. HarborWalk is where the fishing charters are based and you can book a fishing trip or just see them bring in and clean their daily catch. There are many boat tour options to include snorkeling, dolphin watching, sunset viewing and a large Pirate ship replica for children. There are also pontoon boat rentals, jet ski rentals and parasailing charters.

At night, you will see many people on the beach with flashlights looking for hermit crabs and other night creatures. Bring along a flashlight to join the fun.

We welcome you to our gulf front condo on the beautiful beach of Okaloosa Island. We strive to create a beautiful and comfortable condo for you and your family to enjoy. For information on other adventures, feel free to contact me.

This is a no smoking, no pet rental.

Our condo is 10.8 miles to VPS Airport.

Wonderful condo!

Amazing views from the second floor condo balcony. The condo was absolutely beautiful and clean! The owners were very easy to get in touch with and responded fast. No issues the entire stay and it was nice to have a set of beach chairs with an umbrella as an added bonus to the condo. The company that rents them were great and set out the chairs first thing every morning where we requested! Would definitely stay here in the future, you won’t be disappointed!

Great condo w awesome beach but small pool

Spacious 3 bedroom. Stayed w my wife and 5 kids - ages 20,18,15,13,10. Plenty of space. Comfortable beds, nice size rooms. Everything is updated. Bathrooms are gorgeous. Kitchen is really nice. Living area is large enough to seat all of us comfortably. Beach is nice and they allow tents which is a plus. 3 negatives 1- pool gets super crowded. imo it is too small for that many units. 2- location is great until you have to run to the grocery store or Walmart…then its 10 minutes there and 30+ minutes back due to constant traffic jam in Fort Walton beach.Same w restaurants. Overall a great bargain for a beautiful condo right on the beach

Beautiful condo!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The condo is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is nicely equipped and included everything we needed. The furniture is nice (not cheap) and the beds are comfy. The view is amazing and you are steps away from the elevator and stairwell, beach and pool. I would definitely rent from this owner again!

2020 Okaloosa Island Thanksgiving

We really enjoyed this rental, it was a pleasant surprise how nice it was. We have stayed in other units and have several friends that also stayed in other units and this one is the cream of the crop. It is very nice and updated and nicely situated close to the stairs, elevator, and trash Shute. We will definitely use this condo again and highly recommend it to others.

Enjoyed our stay!! Will be back!

We enjoyed our week stay at the Johnson's condo. Please note that the two beach chairs may not be available during the peak seasons unless you get to the beach first thing in the morning and then you are not guaranteed a seat in the front which caused some unhappiness with me because I have kids and it was difficult to see them in the water. Mrs Johnson is looking into this for future stays. Ms Jackie the housekeeper is amazing. She is always wanting to make sure any guests are happy. We will be staying here again.

Both of our girls got head lice here, and they re

Owners are absolutely ridiculous. As soon as your card is charged they couldn't care less about you. Both of our little girls slept on the sleeper sofa and both got lice for the first time in their life. Of course when asked about it they said the everything had been bleached and cleaned top to bottom before we got there, which was also a lie because their was toys, boards, and a beach bag left in some of the closets from the last people there. TV in the living room also didn't work. Knobs constantly fall off the pantry and kitchen drawers, one of the closet doors is coming off the track, hot water doesn't stay on long enough to fill a tub halfway up, ceiling leaks in this unit and the one next to it (when maintaince was notified they looked at it for about 2 minutes and said let me know if it gets worse) and these people had the nerve to tell us we would not be getting our deposit back because they had to do excessive cleaning!!! Sure wish the would've done excessive cleaning before we got there maybe our little girls wouldn't have gotten lice. We did check out an hour late, however when the man came to clean he said it was absolutely no problem because he could see I was in the middle of vacuming and shaking the rugs out anyway, he said he would just grab a coffee and come back. He said he appreciated it because most people didn't even do that. So we swept up, emptied all trash, vacuumed, cleaned the tubs, made the beds, cleaned the counters and fridge, ran the dishwasher, even put the thermostat back where found it. Left it cleaner than when we got there. I get an email two days later saying they had to clean so long that it really costed them over what the deposit was so they would not be refunding me anything. They even took it a step further and two days later emailed me what it cost them to treat the condo for the lice! As if it was our responsability to treat the place for the lice they already had! We will never be staying here again or recomending this place to anyone, please spend your money elsewhere where owners will actually try to make your stay enjoyable and not rip you off like these people

Pleasant Spring Break getaway

The kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking. The views were beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Our biggest concern was the master bedroom. (Bring your own pillows - the ones in the unit are very flat) The recliner next to the bed has a strong odor to it that prevented us from using the chair and made it difficult to sleep on that side of the bed because all you could smell was the chair.

Great vacation!

The Island Princess condos are a short drive from VPS airport. We rented a car from Budget which was quick and easy and car looked brand new. There’s a Publix along the way. The Island Princess property is located on Santa Rosa Blvd between two Marriott’s. Our unit 201 had great views of the ocean from the family room and the master. The condo was spacious and nice. Closets were stocked with hangers but door handles were either broken or on their last leg. Most everything else was in good condition. Kitchen appeared fully stocked with newer items. Beds were comfy and water pressure in showers was great. Neighboring units were fairly quiet as we only heard, on occasion, chairs scooting on the tile floor above us. The balcony was nice to watch the dolphins go by. Easy access to stairs or elevator from this 2nd floor unit. There’s a short walk to the property beach access. The beach is wide with white powdery sand. Property had an outside shower to rinse off sand. Pool was a decent size but didn’t feel heated even though temps were in the 60’s. Several restaurants close by and only 6 miles to Destin’s Harborwalk. Asiago’s Skillet is a longer walk or short drive away. This breakfast place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the food and service are fantastic! Okaloosa Donuts were delicious. The Bay Cafe French Restaurant is a quaint upscale waterfront option. We loved McGuire’s Irish Pub across from the Destin Harborwalk, where we joined hundreds of others to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. We have stayed in Destin and on the outskirts of Panama City Beach in the past. The Okaloosa Island/Fort Walton Beach area is less congested but you are still very close to the nicer Destin area. Overall, an excellent trip.
