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.

The Unique Benefits at this Condo

Beach set (2 chairs and umbrella - value $150/wk, included when booking this unit.The property has two swimming pools, a cabana for charcoaling, picnicking or just to get some shade. You can play tennis, basketball, shuffleboard, pinball games, and walk/jog in the neighborhood filled with many homes built by well-know personalities in entertainment and business.

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!

We own this property and have a guest book in the unit. Comments are amazingly positive...mostly about the view/unit decor and the TV! The Islander will be the top property on Holiday Isle by Spring 2011!
