  Overall great place to stay. The rental was clean and has a pretty good view of the gulf. Didn’t love the carpet stains and balcony door curtain hooks being broke and hanging crooked. However, the staff was very nice and the stay was pleasant!

We cooked most meals in the unit, and the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for preparing snacks or large meals. We had a great overall experience and hope to stay in unit #209 next year.

  Bridgette W from Leoma, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Condo was very tastefully decorated and very clean. The only issue was on the first night the entrance gate got stuck and we waited over an hour to get in. I finally walked through the pedestrian gate and ask the lady at the front desk if she could open the exit gate. She finally went out and pulled her vehicle up so that side would open. Our kids were very disappointed because they didn’t get to swim that night because it took so long to get in the pool closed. I do think the pool should stay open later.

  • Manager Responded on 3/26/2021

    Thank you for your review. We close the pool at 10 pm to stay in line with noise ordinances. We do apologize for the difficulty that you had with the gate that first night. We are continuing to work on the issue.

  a guest from Lafayette, LA recommends this vacation rental

  We had not been to The Islander in 7 years. After our Orange Beach Vacation got cancelled due to Hurricane Sally, we decided to return to a place we had always vacationed at while our children were younger. The Islander did not disappoint and it felt like home. The staff is always helpful and kind. The grounds and pool are always kept up and clean. We had a wonderful week. Booking so late we did not have many units to choose from, but Unit 209 was well appointed and comfortable. The only complaint is the lighting in the master bath is way to dim and dark.

  very clean, very nice. The pictures show exactly what you have. My one complaint, extremely small, is that the TV remotes didn't work on the ROKU TV so we were not able to utilize the Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.

  The condo was very clean, but in need of overall maintenance.

Nothing serious and everyone had a great time!! Thank you!!
