  Great condo! The only comment I have is there needs to be softer towels. They are rough which is not good on sunburned skin. Also add hand towels to the unit.

  We love The Islander and have stayed many times in different units. 401 needs updating from cheap furniture & old linens to the bathrooms and kitchen cabinets. Unit should be a bronze, not Platinum. We will choose a different unit next time. I would give the unit a 3 rating, while The Islander gets a 5 star!

  • Manager Responded on 5/24/2023

    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 !

  The property is great and the condo is beautiful! You have a truly spectacular view of the beach! Wayne at the front desk was absolutely fantastic! The only downside was the elevators in the main lobby weren’t working often and there are only two available for the entire resort. That is my only complaint but it was fixed during our stay and it ended up being just fine!!

  • Manager Responded on 4/25/2021

    We apologize for the elevator issues that we had during your stay. How fantastic to hear that you loved Unit 401 and Wayne. He can be a character.

  We loved our Islander rental experience. Great location with beautiful views of the Gulf! The condo was clean and updated with a tasteful beach-y vibe. We really liked being on the far end of the Islander away from the central hub. We could take the stairs right outside our door down to the path to the beach without having to go through lobby and pool area. We plan to rent same unit again next year!

  • Manager Responded on 4/3/2018

    ank you so much! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay with us here at the Islander. We hope when you travel to Destin, you’ll let us know when you’re coming and we can reserve your favorite condo
