  a guest from Washington, IL recommends this vacation rental

  Condo 508 had a lovely view of the ocean. The confo was clean, but it was not the most updated condo. In the kitchen, the utinsel drawer stuck and squeaked when you opened it. The resort amenities were very good, except the basketball court is on the tennis court, and that interrupted our play. They had eight pickle ball courts, which were nice but not all used at the same time, so one of them should really have the basketball court. The two pools were lovely, but a little warm in July. The location was lovely, the sand was very white. The ocean was very clear and the temperature of the water was perfect. We were close to the west harbor to watch boats go in and out. We also watched fireworks there over the harbor on Thursday night. The condo only gives you two rolls of toilet paper, and a couple packets of dishwasher soap everything else has to be bought. Overall it was a very nice place.

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

  Room was clean but has a dark ambience to it. The Islander property as a whole is starting to feel run down after coming here for 10 years. Elevators are outdated, one was non-functional the entire stay. The other feels likes it’s going to stop working any minute. The bathrooms by the pool were not working and closed. The stairwells by the trash chutes were dirty and had remnants of people’s garbage liquid stains on them. They ran out of space at the beach one day that they had to put our umbrella and chairs near th trash can furthest from the water that was possible. It was a disappointing stay this time for sure.

  • Manager Responded on 7/14/2023

    Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were less then pleased with the unit that you stayed in. We will make sure to reach out to the Owner's and give some recommendations for our future guest bookings. We do try our best to make sure that our guest feel at home when they come to visit us and we want to be sure that they are comfortable. We do apologize for the condition of the property but our common area cleaner tries to stay on top of things as much as possible. Unfortunately, we have no control over mechanical issues when it comes to the elevator but we have been working very hard to get this issue sorted out. We hope that you will consider being a guest of ours in the future.

  a guest from Lake Mary, FL recommends this vacation rental

  The unit was very clean; Couch and chairs in living area quite comfortable, kitchen small but efficient for short stay (knives are excellent, which is very unusual for rentals). Master bed very comfortable, but pillows need upgrade. Sleeper sofa very disappointing with springs missing and mattress quality low. Gulf water is beautiful but beaches are very crowded (of course, our stay was during July 4 weekend so this was not unexpected). Pools are kept quite clean, nice pickleball courts, no other amenities to speak of.

    Thank you for submitting your feedback ! We will make sure to reach out to the Owner's and give some recommendations for our future guest bookings.

  Great Views and Location. Very nice unit. Fully stocked kitchen with many cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. All in great condition. Kitchen appliances on the newer side. The Master Bedroom mattress could use an upgrade. both sides of mattress have a dip where you lay and a ridge in the middle. Foam pad could help.

  First time my family and I have had a "family vacation" just us. The heated pools were a hit with the whole family. Although our condo was on floor 5 there wasn't a time we waited more than a few seconds for the elevator. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean and we could see out kids in the pool. The room was clean and maintained; enough room for our family of five to relax comfortably.
  Great vacation and looking already to come back.

  Our stay was very nice! The room was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. We all enjoyed our stay. The only 2 things that needed improvement would be be the guest bathroom. It had a tub w/ shower but, shower head wouldn’t turn on and one of the burners on the oven didn’t work part of the time. Those were the only 2 things. I would recommend this place as a safe family friendly vacation spot. I’m looking forward to going there again next year

  Michael H from Morrisville, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Our family of five adults had a FABULOUS time in Destin, but what made it so great was the beautiful condo Unit 508! The remodel of this unit was everything the owner claimed it to be. The view was absolutely picture perfect, one that I'm framing. The resort grounds were beautifully maintained, the pool and hot tub were clean every day, the grill area was lovely and located right by the ocean, and the walk to the beach from our condo was convenient and short. Having two beach chairs and an umbrella available to us on the beach during our stay was wonderful and greatly appreciated. Our family had zero negative comments about our accommodations and the resort. We will be back!!! Thank you so much!!

  We had a wonderful stay in Unit 508! We absolutely loved the Islander and always will try to get this unit whenever we stay at the Islander again. The beds were comfortable, the unit was nicely furnished, the view was great, it was quiet, etc. My only complaint is that the floor would turn our feet black in a matter of minutes. The floor had been vacuumed nicely but I could tell the floor hadn't been mopped in a long time!

  Arrival was nice. Busy. But folks at main office moved everyone quickly. First glance of unit was nice. Layed out good. The kids loved the separate twin beds. Master bath and bed has plenty of room. Over all pleased with unit. Only negative for room would be there is no laundry room in unit. But there is one on site. Pools were sufficient for the kids. They didn’t mind. Not overly crowded at eithe pools at any time. Very quiet at night. Can’t hear foot traffic or partying going on. Accommodations at beach were ok. Would like to see the chairs spread out more not in a “horseshoe shape” for more views of the water.

  • Manager Responded on 6/25/2021

  Naked (boxers and shirt, don't want to scare the children)coffee every morning on the deck. The free chairs where a great gift and the attendants very helpful as was the desk staff. Beautifully decorated. Convenient to our favorite shopping and dinning. Pool was at the back door and beach was a skip and a jump past the pool and tennis courts. A short walk on the beach to the Destin pass for snorkeling the sea wall and fishing. Thank you all for making it a wonderful vaka.

  We have been staying at the Islander for about 10 years now. We love the atmosphere and location. This year we stayed at the in the cottage and I will not be doing that again just because of the mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. We had to call and get the toilet fixed and water was not draining out of the dishwasher. All was fixed the day after we called! Most condos have been wonderful. Some are much nicer than ever. But the experience of the beach, the pool, and the grills area have always been fantastic! Would recommend it to anyone and have numerous times.
