Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Naked (boxers and shirt, don't want to scare the children)coffee every morning on the deck. The free chairs where a great gift and the attendants very helpful as was the desk staff. Beautifully decorated. Convenient to our favorite shopping and dinning. Pool was at the back door and beach was a skip and a jump past the pool and tennis courts. A short walk on the beach to the Destin pass for snorkeling the sea wall and fishing. Thank you all for making it a wonderful vaka.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great Views and Location. Very nice unit. Fully stocked kitchen with many cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. All in great condition. Kitchen appliances on the newer side. The Master Bedroom mattress could use an upgrade. both sides of mattress have a dip where you lay and a ridge in the middle. Foam pad could help.

Nice unit, very crowded beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was very clean; Couch and chairs in living area quite comfortable, kitchen small but efficient for short stay (knives are excellent, which is very unusual for rentals). Master bed very comfortable, but pillows need upgrade. Sleeper sofa very disappointing with springs missing and mattress quality low. Gulf water is beautiful but beaches are very crowded (of course, our stay was during July 4 weekend so this was not unexpected). Pools are kept quite clean, nice pickleball courts, no other amenities to speak of.

Our First Trip to Destin but Not our Last!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of five adults had a FABULOUS time in Destin, but what made it so great was the beautiful condo Unit 508! The remodel of this unit was everything the owner claimed it to be. The view was absolutely picture perfect, one that I'm framing. The resort grounds were beautifully maintained, the pool and hot tub were clean every day, the grill area was lovely and located right by the ocean, and the walk to the beach from our condo was convenient and short. Having two beach chairs and an umbrella available to us on the beach during our stay was wonderful and greatly appreciated. Our family had zero negative comments about our accommodations and the resort. We will be back!!! Thank you so much!!

Lovely view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo 508 had a lovely view of the ocean. The confo was clean, but it was not the most updated condo. In the kitchen, the utinsel drawer stuck and squeaked when you opened it. The resort amenities were very good, except the basketball court is on the tennis court, and that interrupted our play. They had eight pickle ball courts, which were nice but not all used at the same time, so one of them should really have the basketball court. The two pools were lovely, but a little warm in July. The location was lovely, the sand was very white. The ocean was very clear and the temperature of the water was perfect. We were close to the west harbor to watch boats go in and out. We also watched fireworks there over the harbor on Thursday night. The condo only gives you two rolls of toilet paper, and a couple packets of dishwasher soap everything else has to be bought. Overall it was a very nice place.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Room was clean but has a dark ambience to it. The Islander property as a whole is starting to feel run down after coming here for 10 years. Elevators are outdated, one was non-functional the entire stay. The other feels likes it’s going to stop working any minute. The bathrooms by the pool were not working and closed. The stairwells by the trash chutes were dirty and had remnants of people’s garbage liquid stains on them. They ran out of space at the beach one day that they had to put our umbrella and chairs near th trash can furthest from the water that was possible. It was a disappointing stay this time for sure.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would not stay here again. The beach is to far, I seen roaches, they wouldn’t give clean linen on Tuesday and Thursday as we were told they said we have to go to the laundry mat, the wristbands always gave us trouble when trying to get in the rooms (we had 4 rooms yearly family trip) or beach, hot tub jets were ******. The room was pretty good though.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time my family and I have had a "family vacation" just us. The heated pools were a hit with the whole family. Although our condo was on floor 5 there wasn't a time we waited more than a few seconds for the elevator. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean and we could see out kids in the pool. The room was clean and maintained; enough room for our family of five to relax comfortably. Great vacation and looking already to come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was very nice! The room was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. We all enjoyed our stay. The only 2 things that needed improvement would be be the guest bathroom. It had a tub w/ shower but, shower head wouldn’t turn on and one of the burners on the oven didn’t work part of the time. Those were the only 2 things. I would recommend this place as a safe family friendly vacation spot. I’m looking forward to going there again next year

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After a 9 hour car ride, we were greeted by a very unfriendly staff member at the front desk. After waiting for over an hour for our room to be ready we finally were able to unload our luggage. We have vacationed at the Islander for the past 5 years and have never had problems. However, this year our room was not very clean! The comforter looked as though someone wiped their Cheeto mouth on it. There was a dead roach under the bathroom vanity, dust all over the furniture, trash under the living room chair, and under the fold out bed. The night before we left their was an actual live roach crawling in our master bed!! We will not be back.
