    Rachel B from McPherson, KS recommends this vacation rental

    We had absolutely the best place to stay. It was clean and easy to find. The staff was very nice and always helpful. We loved that it was quiet and on the 7th floor. The views were absolutely breathtaking. Property was clean and felt very safe. The only issue we had was waiting for the elevator as one was out and only one other to use. But that didn’t stop us from wanting to rent from here again.

    • Manager Responded on 8/3/2023

      Thank you for submitting your feedback! Thank you for your comments on our amazing staff. We try our best to make our guest feel at home when they come to visit us. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and all the amenities we have to offer. Unfortunately, we have no control over the elevator having any mechanical issues but we have been working very hard to get this issue resolved. We look forward to having you as a guest in the future.

    Everything was wonderful. Very easy check-in/check-out. The free beach rental was awesome. Alan, the beach rental attendant was PHENOMENAL.
    Two negatives: 1) no washer/dryer in the unit. Not a dealbreaker, but would have been nice. 2) The elevators- only one was working during our visit.

    A great view of the ocean from our balcony. A 2 minute walk and an umbrella with 2 chairs reserved on the beach everyday. Unit was clean and roomy. Staff treated us like we were VIP's. Just off main road on a beach road that was not crowded. Felt safe as it was gated.

    We loved this unit. Beautiful view, love the decor and Jennifer was a big help to us. We had a little trouble with the tv. The storm must have caused the audio on the tv in the bedroom to go out. We remembered our tv at home did the same thing and we unplugged it and waited 10 seconds and plugged it back up. It worked.

    William S from Elk Grove Village, IL recommends this vacation rental

    We have been going to the Islander for over 25 years. There is a reason for that, it is a great complex for a reasonable cost. The staff at the front desk are friendly and always there to help you with any questions you may have. The grounds are very clean, with two sparkling pools and a pavilion complete with grills for enjoying a cook out. Access to the beach is very easy as well.
    We always choose a unit on the west (sunset) side of the complex. We enjoy watching the fishing boats go out in the morning and watching the sunset at night. There is a lovely view of a lagoon, where we love watching all the wildlife that inhabit it. Beyond that, there is the jetty and the inlet where the boats go in and out of the harbor, and you still have a view of the Gulf. We definitely recommend staying at the Islander. ❤️ The Islander!

    • Manager Responded on 5/15/2021

      What a glorious review . We are so glad that you love us and we love our guests right back. Its wonderful to hear that the front desk is giving such great customer service. We take pride in our property and we try to show that. Hope to see you again soon.

    We absolutely love The Islander. We visit Destin at least once a year, sometimes twice and when we do we ALWAYS stay at The Islander. All units are 2 bedroom, upgraded, nicely appointed and the complex is located right on the beach toward the harbor. The staff is wonderful and we always have a great time. One of my favorite things is that dolphins play every day in the wates there. This place is wonderful!
