About this property

The Islander 217 Complimentary Beach Service - Heated Pool- 10% OFF

Welcome to The Islander 217, a charming second-floor condo located on the serene Holiday Isle in Destin, FL. Ideal for up to 6 guests, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit proudly holds a Platinum rating!

Since becoming new owners in 2020, we’ve completely updated the condo with all-new furniture, decor, and lighting. In 2023, we enhanced it further by creating an open floor plan, remodeling the kitchen, removing the popcorn ceiling, and installing new LVP flooring throughout. Upon entry, you’ll be welcomed by stylish coastal contemporary decor. The fully equipped kitchen features modern appliances, including a Keurig, an air fryer, and a standard coffee maker for your convenience. The bar-height dining table provides additional storage. The inviting living room includes a sofa sleeper and a 65" flat-screen smart TV for your entertainment.

The master bedroom is a retreat with a luxurious king-size bed, ample storage, and an ensuite bathroom equipped with a shower/tub combo, double sinks, and granite countertops. The guest bedroom is versatile, featuring a queen-size bed, high-low twin bunk beds, and a pack-and-play playpen.

Step out onto the private balcony to enjoy sweeping views of the East Pass and breathtaking sunsets over Lake Christina—an ideal spot to unwind after a day in the sun.

Very clean, well maintained Condo with convenient access to everything...

I really enjoyed my stay at the Islander. The inside is upgraded all the way. Multiple pools are on site as well as a grill /gazebo area for cookouts. The VIP service including chairs and umbrellas is tremendously appreciated in the sweltering August heat! All of the Destin bars / restaurants are just a short drive to enjoy. Be sure to check out the coffee shop about a mile away from the property as well

Amazing location!

My family amd myself traveled from Oklahoma to this Condo and the 14 hour drive was so worth it! I can't say enough about the location. The condo is a couple minute walk to the private beach! The beach was very busy each day, but with having the VIP capabilities they always had an umbrella and a couple chairs set up and ready to go for us. Walmart and target are just a short drive away for all your needs. This condo make you feel right at home.

Better than Advertised

We stayed at this property for 4 days. The accommodations were fantastic. We enjoyed the use of the amenities and appreciated the kitchen dishes, utensils, pots, pans and appliances. It made preparing meals a breeze. The beach was a short walk from the condo. The beach was great and we really appreciated the free beach service (chairs, umbrellas, attendent, etc). Also, having so many restaurants, shops and grocery stores so close was great for us being a family of 4! We would stay here again with no hesitation.

Love The Islander, Just Needs Some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been staying at the Islander for years and we love the comfort and location. This is our second time staying in this unit and it definitely needs some TLC. The furniture is fine and it's decorated nicely, but there was a weird smell that never went away, the lights constantly flicker or dim then go back to normal, and we had an issue with bugs (though I did see them spraying around the property near the end of our trip so maybe it was just that time). The paint is peeling off the ceiling in a couple of rooms as well. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back, but we will likely try a different unit (which is unfortunate because we really like the location and set up of this one)!

Always the best time at the Islander!

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: We stayed at unit 217 and it was fabulous! Wonderfully decorated and convenient to the pool and stair access. My children loved the bunk beds! We come every year and would definitely recommend this unit to our friends as well. My only recommendation would be to possibly replace the stove. Boiling a pot took quite a bit of time and when you have hungry kids begging for Mac n cheese that was the only issue. I guess my kids need to learn a little more patience haha!

Wedding Destination February 22, 2022!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First let me say we stayed 8 days and 7 nights. The property looked like an old hotel . The location was convenient to a lot of places. A cozy unit but a false sense of security upon arrival. First the entrance gate that they gave us a code for remained unlocked and opened 24/7, but the exit side was was always closed and operated as expected.We did not appreciate that because we paid for the a secured parking/ location. The pictures on the Internet of the Islander were not what we saw when we arrived (disappointing). The office and conference room pictures got my attention when looking for a location to stay but when we arrived we were thoroughly disappointed. Now the linen/ blankets smelled used and the bed was not comfortable, the mattress was wormed so this bride did not get a restful night at all during the seven night stay. The bathroom ceilings looked a bit cruddy with hair in the bathtub. And the most disappointing thing was, we were given a 10am checkout time. My husband took our luggage to the car and came back before 9:30am and they had already turned the key off. WOW!!!! Luckily I was still in the room to let him in. We were so outdone until we left my much needed and brand new personal humidifier in the bedroom. Our Wedding was on the beach and Our gate key didn’t work for the gate on the first day, we immediately reported it and the office staff they were not interested and not trying to help resolve the issue. The man just said it should of worked. Wow! But ironically the next day the key worked. Then on the wedding day the key they gave the officiant didn’t work. Unbelievable. Luckily nice people leaving let them in. But our special occasion took precedence over everything. Overall The unit was clean and all the appliances worked Also lots of nice cooking utensils and dishes. The pool and hot tub area appeared to be clean. The laundry room was very very outdated but the machines did work. Not sure if we will return for the a
