Absolutely Perfect Location!

The unit is perfectly located, on the the 2nd of 3 floors in a beautifully landscaped older resort, very close to the ocean and the pool. Management was responsive and the property description was accurate. The unit includes a big, old microwave and 2 refrigerators, essentially in the bedroom. The cabinets in the bedroom are full of dishes, silverware, etc. There is one smallish wardrobe for guests to use. The unit was not especially clean and the dirty broom and dustpan stood in the corner of the bathroom; there was a broom closet, but it was locked. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay, and are glad we chose it. It would have been more relaxing and nicer if the unit were updated and there was less bedroom space devoted to kitchen stuff. We enjoyed the other guests we met at the resort, and loved walking up and down the coast in the morning. To the south, there's a beachside restaurant, and to the north, there's a Starbucks in a hotel. Also, it's easy to drive all over the island from this central location.

Wonderful place

Aston Islander is in a wonderful location. Easy access from the airport, very to close to good restaurants, shopping, and of course the beaches. We stayed in unit 245, having stayed at the islander before, the rooms seem pretty much the same. This unit had two small refrigerators which was quite convenient. Second floor balcony is a good blend of view and privacy. The only mild issue was that the balcony was not swept and was quite sandy, but luckily there was a broom and dust pan in unit. We did also have one of the metal patio chair legs break from being corroded through, but you're only 30 ft from the ocean so these things happen. The owners are very communicative and professional and I would highly recommend renting from them.

Needs improvement

This property is an ocean front unit which makes it excellent. However, the unit requires a lot of work. The bed is not comfortable (noisy - for every turn while sleeping, as such you can't sleep) sounded like the mattress is wrapped in hard plastics! The utensils, coffee cups are dirty, can't access WIFI as the information provided on the check-in paper's is not correct, Lastly, on day one of our stay, we've already received message instructions, on checkout process and this was followed on day two!!!! I'm giving it a 3 stars for location but other than that it would be a one star.

Fine stay in May

Outstanding location just a few steps from the beach. Lanai has fine view as well. Coconut market has most of what you need in walking distance. Management was quick and responsive to address an issue. Unit interior is a bit dated, but clean. Tiny kitchen sink seems par for these units, but would benefit from upgrades.

We absolutely loved our stay. You can't beat the ocean views from the balcony. The property was beautiful, and it was great to have beach access and a pool to use. Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again.

Great condo, awesome location, great price!

I have stayed in this group of condos before and this condo has the best location with the best view for the price. This condo was very clean and well maintained. The condo owner and management communications were great and they provided a lot of information well before our check in to be sure our stay was issue free. I would definitely rent this condo again in the future.

Great Location / Beautiful View

This corner unit is on the second floor with an unobstructed view of the ocean. There is lots of shopping and a number of restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. Islander on the Beach is a very well maintained and quiet complex. No traffic or other noise (except of course the crowing roosters that are everywhere on the island).

Great location, good facility

Walking distance to multiple restaurants. Property has beautiful, well-maintained landscaping and pool. This unit needs a new mattress and some simple touchup. Instructions for wifi and TV had errors that took too much time to figure out. That's an easy fix. Would stay here again.
