    Kimberly C from Smithton, IL recommends this vacation rental

    The Islander never disappoints. The condo was clean and everything was exactly as described. Condo 202 is in a good location to reach the beach as long as you can climb stairs. It’s at the end of floor two, away from the elevators, but right next to the stairs. Although it is really busy in June, the beach is still amazing. Make sure you bring trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. I would definitely recommend this property.

    • Manager Responded on 7/10/2025

      Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear The Islander continues to meet your expectations and that you enjoyed your stay in Condo 202. The location by the stairs is definitely convenient for beach access, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful tips for future guests. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

    a guest from Bossier City, LA does not recommend this vacation rental.

    Everything was perfect except for the queen size bed. The bed was lumpy and squeezed every time you moved, very uncomfortable. Everything else was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time. However, due to the bed I would not stay in this particular unit again

    • Manager Responded on 7/20/2023

      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. However, we are glad that you enjoyed the location of the unit being that it's very convenient for most guests to get to the beach and pools. We hope you will come back and see us soon !

    We love this unit! It was clean upon arrival. The unit was supplied with everything we needed for cooking. We loved the convenience to the stairs that we used instead of the elevators. The beds were good. Nothing really to complain about because the unit is so nice for the price. The unit was nicely decorated with beach theme. The couches were comfortable. If we stay at The Islander again I would definitely stay in this unit again! The staff was very nice! I would like to thank the owners and the staff for their hospitality!

Comfortable and spacious enough for 3 adults and 2 children for one week. This rental is right next to the stairs which is convenient. We had a great time and as always the Islander is amazing!

    The condo was a perfect fit for my family!!! We’ve stayed at Fort Walton many times before but this was our first stay at Destin and we couldn’t be happier! Short min walk to the beach, took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs, pool was great, the bbq pavilion was a plus and loved that we get 2 vehicle pass! The condo had everything we needed and it was spacious!!! Will definitely stay again.
