The Islander is a simple property, with like amenities, but we go for the beach and it never disappoints. Unit 704 was quite nice with beautiful updates.

We did have a issue with black getting on the knees of my grandson when he crawled. We cleaned the floors but I think it was coming from the rug. Oh well, we still had a great time and will be back!

Another great vacation 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: Our 2nd vacation at the Islander and it was awesome as the 1st. Our property was clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Had a couple of minor issues with the TV and kitchen faucet, that were taken care of immediately.We ate out only once as the kitchen was fantastic and fully functional. Our favorite amenity was the complimentary beach chairs and umbrella every day. We just put our towels on the chairs in the morning, which would reserve the chairs and umbrella for the day! Alan the beach attendant would help us with our wagon, getting it to our chairs and when we left at the end of the day. I lost a speaker on the beach that he recovered and gave it to us the next day! Stores and grocery were only 1 mile away. It is easy access to the Islander as it is on a No Outlet street. I would recommend The Islander to friends and family!!!

Destin vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Loved the view and the condo was very clean. Beds were very comfortable which you don't always get in VRBO's. Pool and hot tub were great and enjoyed the umbrella seating on the beach. You do need to bring all food items as there is not even salt and pepper. Bring your own beach towels if they say there are some, I did not see any. We would definitely go back here! Best part of our trip was a pontoon ride on Crab Island Dolphin Tours, we only had time to book a two hour ride but Captain Josh made it a great experience and next time we will do a full day. Super great guy and full of knowledge on Destin.

Nice Condo but won’t be back

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was super nice, clean, and updated! The facility itself was not. The elevator was broken the entire stay. The beach property was so small you had to get up at 6:30am and walk down to reserve a spot. The bathrooms as the pool were broken. I was Extremely disappointed in the overall stay. We stayed here with family, so two other condos were rented along with ours.

Islander Resort Review

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: This was our 2nd winter staying at the Islander. The location at the end of Gulf Shores Drive is beautiful with morning walks on the beach, and capturing the sunsets at night. The staff at the complex does an excellent job and they were always willing to assist you with anything that you might need. The Snowbird organization made our stay fun and eventful with pickleball each morning, pool activities every afternoon, and cards, darts, or Happy Hour events each evening. The special events and parties were great fun (Mardi Gras and cookouts with live music). The camaraderie and friendship of the other residents made our stay very memorable. We are looking forward to coming back again next year to catch up with our new friends and establish new traditions. Thanks to all for a great winter getaway.

Pleasant but had minor issues.

The view is what you are paying for with this unit. The beach was beautiful but crowded. You are stacked on top of one another which made it uncomfortable if you are a non smoker and smokers are next to you. You can't put up your own canopy, tent, or shade cover other than another umbrella so that was a big negative for us. Other than some minor maintenance issues, that I was able to repair myself, it is a great unit. Could use some cosmetic touchups with paint and the towel rack in the master bathroom is pulling out the wall. Mattresses are harder than what we would have liked. The negative issue for this unit is there is not a washer and dryer with this unit. Then again, we knew that going into it. Like I started, we paid for the view. Since the comfort issue of having our own canopy was missing, we will most likely look elsewhere. Having a washer and dryer in the unit is a comfort we will look for as well moving forward.

Limited Beach Space

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There was limited beach space and only a few chairs were available facing the ocean. The cost of extra chair setup was double the cost of other codos we have stayed in the area. We realize that inflation is high, but the cost was more than double. Other than this issue, the place was very nice. It is perfect for winter stays but not for families with children or anyone wishing to sit on the beach and watch the ocean. I would not recommend to summer travelers, but I would recommend to winter travelers.
