Great location. Close to the beach

Views from the balcony were excellent and you could hear the ocean. The condo is a short distance from restaurants and stores. Enjoyed not having to bring an umbrella and chairs to the beach. The attendant on the beach was super nice. We loved the convenience of the shopping cart to bring groceries up to the room. We wish the tennis and pickleball courts were open but they were under refurb our entire stay.

Amazing as always!

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 is year #6 for us at The Islander! Amazing staff, great property, super clean, quiet and safe! This was our first time in unit 717 and it was great! Very clean and tastefully decorated, I loved that they had a closet with beach toys- we even left the ones we purchased so the next guests could use them too! The only thing I didn’t love about our stay is the elevator was broke multiple times throughout our stay and the new bracelet wrist bands are terrible and not reliable at all, we were locked out of our unit multiple times. Other than those two things though we had a great stay and no complaints at all! We will continue to come back year after year!

Amazing!!!

This was an amazing place to take your family. The beach is so close and the beach attendant is so helpful and attentive! It was great to have chairs and an umbrella there. It's so close to restaurants and stores. It's locked and very secure so I felt comfortable with my sons going back and forth. We will be coming back for sure!!! Than you for a great vacation for my Family.

Perfect beach weather

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved the beach service. Wished both elevators worked. There was fruit loops and tortilla chips on the floor in living room so clearly it was not vacuumed.

A perfect 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: The condo was super clean and decorated so nicely. There were 5 of us (3 teenagers & us parents). Each kid had their own bed which is a must for us. We used the sofa sleeper. The only negative was king mattress is very very firm. I know that’s a personal preference but it was hard to sleep on it. We utilized the kitchen and cooked several meals. Loved that we had extra towels available for showers. We did notice that one of the chairs on the balcony is broken. It had a screw sitting on the seat and the metal frame wasn’t attached. Not a big deal we just didn’t use that particular chair. The left elevator was a bit rickety. You never knew of it was actually going to work. Management should have someone out to check it. Alan with the beach chair service was AWESOME!! Overall we loved it! Would definitely rent this unit again.

Very Quiet and Pleasant

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: The Islander is a wonderful place to enjoy the Destin area and the beach. Only one thing which would stop me from staying in Room 717 next time. If you Love a HARD bed, this is where you want to go to sleep. As for me, I toughed it out. My wife slept on the couch for 9 nights. Loved 717 other than that. I hope they install something to make it softer. We will be back. If I knew the bed was softer, I would book our next 9 nights in 717 right now! Beautiful view! Oh yeah, and a couple of those patio chairs which rock and swivel would be nice. Some have those and some do not. 717 does not! Overall, the Islander is The Best place to stay!

Didn't rebook this year!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was great as always we have never had a problem with the unit. We have been staying with the islander for 5 years and 4 of the last 5 year has been in the same unit!(firat year was unit 514 last 4 years was unit 717). 717 is a great view of sunset and a little water plus its over looking the lake! Owners in 717 care about the guest and the unit is always EXACTLY as i remember, never disappointed!This past stay we had an issue with the staff. Not very well trained new staff and the upper management seem a little too comfortable in her position and doesn't want to respect the option or have a genuine conversation with a long time guess when they actually have an issue. [Let me add the lady that does the art work with the kids is amazing and has always been amazing and is so very patient] We had our first issue ever this last time and had to speak with the manager and it was like putting teeth to get her off her butt and out of her office. In 5 years I have never seen her face before but she has been with them for 10 plus years. Needless to say we will be staying elsewhere next year as I'm not ever going to deal with Kendall again!We spent the last full day of our stay looking at other condos in the area and booked a place other then the Islander for next year as we were leaving on August the 21st. If you do stay with the islander Alan is the gentleman that provides beach service he is a great guy and will help you out in anyway he can!

Pleasantly surprised

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 reluctantly stayed again this year after a 2 year hiatus. I swore last time I’d never come back. There was a new staff which was one this year. Both elevators were working. (Last 2 stays there they were not) The front desk staff was helpful and eager to please . Thankful you got this all straightened out.

We now want 717 every visit. One problem... The chairs did not rock and swivel on the patio. That is what this old person wanted. BUT...did I mention THE VIEW?

Wonderful getaway location

The condo location was in a nice area. View of the ocean was beautiful. The condo was beautifully decorated. Plenty of extra linen and towels provided. All the people were very friendly. The pools were warm and the hot tubs were nice - we appreciated that because it was cooler than we expected. Had a great stay.
