    Jesse B from Boiling springs, SC recommends this vacation rental

    Upon our arrival we were greeted by friendly staff and check in was a breeze. We got to our room and it was great super clean. The only complaint I have with the place is the beds. Especially the guest bed. The mattress is terrible and needs to be replaced. After 3 nights I had back pain that would not go away. Overall it was a great experience.

    • Manager Responded on 9/30/2019

      Thanks for your review and feedback Jesse. We will let the condo owner know about your comments.

    Clean, second level, easy to walk the stairs and avoid elevators. Parking lot was well lit. Beds were comfortable. Furniture was comfortable. The property is beautiful. Landscaping was so pretty. Only suggestion, it needs more kitchen items. Such as bowls to serve food in.

      Hi Lynn, Thanks for taking time to write this review and give feedback. We will pass this information on to the condo owner. Regards, The Islander

    Property condition:

    Billy L from Kings Mills, OH recommends this vacation rental

    Staff was great. The condition of the room was questionable for gold status. The master bedroom mattress was in need of replacement. The couch was sagging in the middle.
    The beach setups could not have been any better! The setup men were personable and professional.
    We enjoyed our stay and will return but we will not book this particular room again.

    • Manager Responded on 5/5/2018

      We, at the Islander, take pride in our staff as much as ensuring each guests' happiness. The condo classifications are based on a points system, so when the points are graded, if they are on the gold level, they are gold. Our apologies the mattress did not meet your satisfaction, but we have taken note of it. We agree with you about the beach staff! We will be sure to pass this along. Thank you and be sure to return soon.

    This unit was our first condo rental. We are already planning our trip for next year. The only thing we wished we had was a unit with two master suites as we were traveling with another getting ready in the "guest" bath was a bit tricky sometimes. Overall the grounds and condo were clean and comfortable. The location is perfect with stores and restaurants just up the street. The beach was amazing and so close to the unit. Alan had our chairs and umbrellas ready every morning and was always ready to help. Alan is a great asset and hope to see him back next year.
