Great stay, steps from beach

Great unit with a nice view and fully equipped kitchen. The islander has two nice (but small) pools and a bbq pavilion with a grass area around. The beach is right around the back of the pool. The chairs and umbrella were a nice touch. I loved that the building has nightly family activities and beach and pool toys to play with. The staff was friendly and helpful. Checkout at 10am is a little early considering you have to do several chores when you leave. The HOA for The Islander professionally manages your stay, and they even have their own booking website. I’m not sure there’s any reason to pay VRBO an extra fee. Next time I will just book directly.

Great place to stay

We took a family vacation of 6 adults. The unit was clean and had everything we needed! The property was clean and well kept. The beach and chair service was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Great location!

My mom and I enjoyed a long weekend for a girls trip and really loved our stay. The beaches aren't over populated, the beach services is priceless and just overall a beautiful resort. The walk to the beach is very quick and well marked. The only thing we didn't love was the beds, they're not great but serve the purpose. GREAT place!

Perfect beach and great accommodations!

One of the elevators was out, which made packing in and out a challenge. But things happen and out of the owners hands so wouldn’t impact review for us!

Simple condo, great time

My family and I had a great vacation here! The condo is simple, clean, and very orderly. More importantly it’s got a beautiful views (don’t let a lack of beach view fool you - the jetty view is stunning!) and great beach access. Each unit gets two chairs and an umbrella down at the beach. I recommend going down there at 7 or 8 to pick your spot. You stake your claim by draping a towel over your umbrella and it’s yours for the day. The umbrella guy Alan was great about keeping things fair (give the guy a tip!) But unless you’re particular about wanting an umbrella then you don’t need to bother, there’s plenty of space to set up your own chairs or a towel. The property manager also gave crystal clear instructions for check-in which is super important. A few downsides were there’s very little supplies - just paper towels and a few packets of dishwasher detergent - and the mattresses weren’t very comfy. But overall, it was a great stay at a great price and we will definitely be back!

Lovely location, update needed

We loved the location of The Islander. Holiday Isle is our favorite area to stay in Destin. The property manager was awesome, readily available, helpful, and just overall above and beyond our expectations. The walk to the beach was much shorter than anticipated, which was a nice surprise. However, the area of the beach designated to The Islander is very small and narrow. They arrange the chairs in 2 U shaped patterns in an attempt to accommodate the large number of guests in the small space they have available. People go down at 6am and “claim” spots with towels. Many wouldn’t come down till after lunch to use them. Meanwhile, the rest of us are packed in towards the back of the U like sardines. This saving chairs procedure they allow is very unfortunate and shouldn’t be permitted. The unit needs some updates. Paint, especially ceiling and trim, is really overdue. The sofa and love seat need a serious deep clean. If you are expecting to use the sofa sleeper, don’t. Our 19 year old college son was unable to sleep on it. He can sleep almost anywhere. The mattress is awful. It should not be counted as a bed. The other 2 beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, just again very dated.

Location was great - that’s it, though.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: Location was fantastic with 2 toddlers. It was less than a 5 minute walk from the condo to the beach, so that was extremely convenient. As for cleanliness, it was okay. It had a weird smell when we first walked in, that kind of reminded me of stale cigarette smoke. It rained half of our stay, which is no fault of the islander obviously, but we tried enjoying our balcony and couldn’t. The person above us was smoking pot the entire time and it made it impossible to sit out there and enjoy any time at all. I made a complaint, and nothing was done. It says smokers will be fined, yet our condo continued to suffer. Quite annoying. The bathroom door in the master also wouldn’t open or close all the way because it would catch on the floor. I expected the resort to be a little nicer, and it was just really mediocre at best. If you’re wanting fancy, pass on this one. Lastly, the entire reason we booked this condo was because it stated a pack n play was included, but when we showed up, there was no pack n play. I called the front desk to get it sorted, and while they did end up finding us one, she did make sure to say that normally guests pay for this service. The description literally listed that as an added amenity so I’m confused why I’d need to pay extra for that??

Great time

Came for my kids 11 birthday just us celebrating together. Loved it and hope to come stay again over the years. Great having easy access to beach and pool. Guy at the beach in charge of chairs was very sweet and helpful every day, as well as the young man at check in and out. Great staff!
