  Destiny N from Kennesaw, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We love the islander and have always stayed in beautiful condos, we love the 7th floor on the east side. This condo however has a rug that is so dirty, the white parts/patterns are grey. You can tell it’s from filth because the parts under the couch are still white, also the cushions on the dining room chairs are filthy. For that much money for a weeks vacation, the owners should be able to afford a new rug & dining chairs.

  • Manager Responded on 9/21/2024

  Alison A from Avon, IN recommends this vacation rental

  We got married at the jetty east next door and decided to move over to the Islander for an ocean view. Everything was very nice. The two things I can say that could use improvement are
  1: the couches. They are very very stained and uncomfortable to sit on. We didn’t use them often, but that’s part of the reason why.
  2: the master bed. It is EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable. I can sleep anywhere, but this bed had us tossing and turning all night.
  All in all, it was a gray stay!

  Patricia M from Troy, OH recommends this vacation rental

  I have rented from the islander for years and use to love it but I think it might be time to go to another condo site as much I love the location the unnecessary stress I can do without the ac was not working good enough to cool master sweet the bed was hard as a rock the couch had crumbs of food left on it the new staff was very rude Andrea is always so sweet she is one of the reasons we have rented here but the younger staff members are very rude .I know you can't control what guest wear but we actually left the pool because a young lady was wearing a g-string bottom and wore a Tom to barely covered her nipples not what we want to see in the pool you could see her ..... and that was uncomfortable with that being said I hope I have a change of heart cause I have loved it here in the past but the last 2 stays have been a waste of money for such a beautiful resort

  a guest from Littleton, CO recommends this vacation rental

  The Islander is an amazing vacation property! We stayed as a family 4 for a 5 day family reunion. We brought our two teens and they loved the freedom the resort offered them while we loved that we could see them from the balcony pretty much everywhere they went (albeit they were at a distance so they still had their privacy) All of the units were great(clean and orderly) and were conveniently located in the same general area of each other. (We rented 10 rooms.) Do make sure you read the list of items to bring for your stay. Should you need anything, Target is within a 5 minute drive and we went there almost daily. The beach is gorgeous and the umbrella service was fabulous! The pools and grounds were consistently cleaned and sanitized. You could walk along the beach as early and as late as you like. The unit was exactly as expected. The couch was really uncomfortable so we put the couch pillows under the cushions which looked ridiculous, but made the couch perfectly comfortable. The islander was within 20 minutes of the boardwalk and lots of water activities. Plenty of local delicious dining within 15 minutes of the location. Many souvenir shops to grab a little something special. All in all, every member of our family (ages 3 to 72) thoroughly loved the time we spent at the Islander!

  Rachael S from Erlanger, KY recommends this vacation rental

  We love staying at the Islander but was a little disappointed with the air conditioning. We had someone come out the second day to fix it, it seemed to start running, then the next day (Monday June 5th), it got up to 78 degrees. Therefore they had to call an AC company to come in and fix it. Our fan didn't work either in the dinner area. Other than that, we had a good experience, just not being uncomfortable and hot while trying to sleep overnight or coming in from the beach to a warm room.
