  Lynne B from Nashville, TN recommends this vacation rental

  This was my first visit to the Islander Resort. It was just the relaxing retreat I needed after a busy summer. The month of August is an excellent time as the seasonal crowds were absent and the weather was excellent. Our condo was extremely comfortable with everything we needed. The resort property was well maintained and extremely neat and clean. Location was perfect with walking areas in this mostly residential neighborhood and lots of white, sandy beach for sunset walks. I would highly recommend this property and the unit for a relaxing week of surf and sun.

  Amazing condo with plentiful space (with full size bunk beds for the kids) and wonderful amenities such as the free beach service. Appreciated having a full kitchen and the washer/dryer. Kids had a blast at the pool and beach, and enjoyed the available pool and beach toys. Fantastic water views of the Gulf, the inlet, and Lake Catherine. Great location. Enjoyed the Harbor Boardwalk and fun activities like the Pirate cruise. Grateful of all the nearby eateries especially for quick eats at Merlin’s pizza. Will definitely return to the Islander!

  Suzanne C from Vestavia, AL recommends this vacation rental

  This unit is great- we loved it & the awesome views of East Pass and the beach. My only suggestion is this unit is in desperate need of replacing the king mattress in the larger bedroom! Adding a few new sauté pans for eggs & bacon would be awesome too! Otherwise, it’s a great unit, great views, and was very clean. The kitchen also has both a regular coffee pot & Keurig machine which is nice! We’ll be back!

  • Manager Responded on 6/5/2022

    Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had some issues 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 room was nicely equipped with all the amenities of home. Clean and quiet. Destin is a popular place, so if you're an introvert, stock up for the weekend and enjoy the resort. If you like to get out, relax, there is plenty to do. My wife and I were there in late February, enjoyed a nice stay.
