  a guest from Martinsville, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at the Islander probably 25 times in the last 30 years. We have stayed in multiple rooms. The Owner of Unit 409 needs to have some repairs done and stock the kitchen with better supplies.
  The left sink in the master bathroom....the rubber stopper kept peeling and leaving black bits when we ran the water. There were not sufficient frying pans available. The owner needs to store the 10 pillows and blankets somewhere else other than in the top shelf of the closets so their guests have room to unpack and organize their things. They need to invest in a Keurig coffee maker. The one in 409 is outdated and nobody uses those anymore. Two to three of the outlets in the master do not work. They need was frustrating having to run extension cords around the bed and from behind the dresser. The bathroom door and the master BR door did not close properly. We were not able to lock either door the entire time we were there (privacy matters). These need fixed. We felt like we did not have sufficient TV accessibility. They need to add some perks for college sports, movies, and more apps for shows. Lastly, I recommend installing shelves behind the master bathroom door. Guests need storage space. The pluses were; sufficient # of hangers in the closet, dual sinks in master, nice shower, and a decent price for the week. Thank you.

  We had a great time during our stay. The condo itself was beautiful, with pretty furniture. Short walk to the beach, very family friendly. Loved that two chairs and an umbrella were reserved everyday for you. The front desk staff were short staffed, so there weren't many kids activities, but Kendall was so nice and helpful. Will definitely be back!

  This vacation rental allows private access to the beach in a gated community! It's family-friendly and is nestled among various properties that provide security, tennis courts, pickleball courts, a basketball court, and two swimming pools.
  
  We enjoyed our stay very much! The unit was newly renovated and clean, and is an accurate assessment of the pictures. The kitchen was the perfect size for us, and it was equipped with the basic essentials (i.e. full-size refrigerator, oven, microwave, toaster, bowls, plates, utensils, and other things).
  
  
  The balcony overlooks one pool and provides a picturesque view of the ocean. I would recommend staying at this property and look forward to returning!

  Christy D from Bensenville, IL recommends this vacation rental

  We rented Unit 409 and the view is gorgeous. It is the first unit off the elevator, making it convenient. The owners were in the middle of some upgrades, but that did not affect our stay at all. I ran down early on the towel exchange day (Tuesday) and the door was still closed, a staff member, who had not even punched in yet for her shift and quickly set her stuff down, said “please let me help you” and exchanged my towels. Again I was 15 mins early and expected to wait. The staff is friendly and property was clean. The man in charge of the pool area takes great pride in his work. The carts make unloading and loading a breeze.

  a guest from Brusly, LA recommends this vacation rental

  Upen arrival, our room was not ready, so we enjoyed the beach and pool. The overall upkeep of the place was good. I watched a man every morning cleaning the pool area (spraying it off, raking the sand area, scooping out BBQ pits) and witnessed them cleaning the elevators and common areas multiple times. The workers were all very friendly and courteous. I liked how two chairs and an umbrella were included with our stay and Allen was always offering to help lug things on and off the beach. This place is very conveniently located to many grocery stores and restaurants. The condo we chose was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Everything was in working order. I was surprised to see that there was no washer and dryer in the unit, but it was a short walk to the washateria area and that was very clean and well kept. The only thing I didn’t like was the carpet in the master bedroom. It felt a little old, but other than that the condo was spacious and we really enjoyed our time here.

  We have stayed at The Islander for the past 6 or 7 years with my sister and brother in law and love it! We have also stayed in 409 several of those but this time there were several things they were not up to standard. I mentioned them when we checked out. We had to ask for a towel bar in guest bath. Pantry door comes off hinges. Blinds in mast bedroom don’t all work. Also, we called when my sister snd I got to town snd was told room wasn’t ready but we would be called and we were not. Finally at about 4:30 I think, we called and there was no note to call us. We had to unload in a monsoon rain storm!

  We thorougly enjoyed our stay at the Islander. The room itself could have used a little updating but overall our stay was fantastic. From the first moment of Maggie, at the front desk with her cordial welcoming throughout our stay to Alan, the guy who had our umbrellas out by 7:30 and continually asked if we needed anything when we were out by the beach. His job was hot and hard in that hot sun.

I absolutely loved the morning activities and my daughter did as well. On the drive home I was already looking at reserving at the Islander for next year!

  Our family had a great time at the Islander. Our Condo unit was very nice, we were close to the Harbor and shopping. We will definitely come back. I do wish there would have been some toys in the room for the kids to use at the beach, some buckets and shovels. I also wish the pool would have been open later than 10pm. But overall, had a great time!

  Austin H from San Antonio, TX recommends this vacation rental

  Spent 29 days here with my family and I definitely did not want to leave. The view from our balcony was spectacular and it was great to wake up to every morning. The staff was amazing. We had no issues with anyone. The whole property itself is well maintained. The condo was very clean upon arrival. The condo itself requires some updating here and there. The rugs in the kitchen and living room need to be removed or replaced for new ones. The king size bed in the master bedroom was a bit uncomfortable but doable. Some of the wall plugs were coming off the wall which can become dangerous especially with little ones. The upgrade in the kitchen and master bedroom bathroom is beautiful! Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. This condo had everything I needed for my family and I loved how it was right by the elevator so I didn’t have to walk far. I would definitely come back!

  • Manager Responded on 6/5/2021

    Thanks for your feedback on Unit 409. We will make sure to have maintenance check the plugs. We are glad you enjoyed your stay .

    We are happy to hear you enjoyed your week so well. Our heated pools are just one of our great attributes. The hot tubs are set at a temp that a majority of our guests prefer. Perhaps the West pool area would be more beneficial to your family next time, as it is cooler.
