The Islander is on Holiday Isle and has many unique attributes. It is walking distance to the jetty where you can climb up and watch boats coming in and out of the harbor. It has a laundry room for those wanting to "wash up" before returning home and for those long-term residents. The linen room is open to exchange linens and towels. It's also minutes from the Big Kahunas (less than a mile) the Track (less than a mile) and the Aquarium (a hot tourist spot to watch shows performed by marine life).
Specifically, Unit 609 is unique because it is:
- across from the elevators so is convenient and quiet because it's an end unit
- looking right out on the beach where there is something going on at almost any time - - the -fishing tour boat gather in the mornings to get bait, you can watch parasails and tourist boats going up and down the shoreline any time during the day. Pods of dolphins go up the shoreline in the morning and come back down the shoreline in the late afternoons
- on the next to the top level which provides for less noise and great views!

- remodeled with crown molding, new paint, new furniture and fixtures including a 48" flat screen TV in the living area!

Why the Owner Chose The Islander
The location is attractive because it's on Holiday Isle off of the busy Highway 98, yet immediately accessible to the tourist attractions off of highway 98. Being close to the jetty we get lots of unique wildlife (dolphins, manatees, schools of fish) which attract birds, fun tours, etc. There is always lots of activity. You can also rent umbrella sets, kayaks, sailboats, boards during the summer.

Owner's Map of The Islander
We live in Dallas and have been coming to The Islander for more than 10 years. In fact, once we made the trip to Destin our girls never wanted to go anywhere else! Once the real estate market adjusted to an affordable level, we snatched up our unit. We were patient and waited for the very unit that has the best location, views and opportunity for upgrading. We immediately invested in the unit with substantial upgrades and plan to invest more into the unit each year! Our unit has many repeat visitors - - validating the location, unit convenience and outstanding gulf views!
