Family Spring Break

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 first time to Destin, the condo was amazing and the perfect size for our family of 5. We had everything we needed. If I had one negative comment, and ONLY ONE, it is the quality of the blankets provided...they were a strange texture and very stiff and uncomfortable, almost like Styrofoam. Other than that our family had an amazing time.

Great condo!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: We stayed here in august and it was a great rental. Very clean. Beds were comfortable. My only complaint is no ceiling fans in the bedrooms. I know some people won’t mind that tho. Also take in to consideration that it is the room furthest from the elevator but the steps are right outside the room. We will definitely be back!

Best family vacation!

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: We had the absolute best week. The condo was perfect for our family of 4, and pretty sure we couldn’t have survived without the washer & dryer that was in the unit. Allan doing the daily beach service was great, and always greeted you by name in the am. We spent our days at the beach, and evenings eating seafood and taking in the sunsets. The ONLY complaint we would have is, better grills outside. Other than that, keep it up! We can’t wait to return.

Unit 301

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience - everything was clean and ready for guest. Unit is a great location. Only complaint is trash situation at the complex - something needs to be done about handling of trash before the 4th of July as I can imagine the complex fills up. The trash piling up outside of the bin area on the ground caused a stinch - could not throw trash down chute as it was backed up. The smell was not very pleasant walking out the door.
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 2, 2024
Thank you for submitting your feedback ! We do apologize about the trash situation especially with it being so busy later. We did make sure to increase the trash schedule before the 4th of July. We look forward to having you as a guest in the future.

Islander stay 301

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this unit 2 years ago and had a pleasant experience and that is why we decided to stay in this unit again. We did notice however that this unit appeared a lot more "worn" and out of date. The carpet needs to be replaced. We had other family members stay in 4 other condos the same week. They were night and day nicer than the one we stayed in for the same price. We are likely to book a different unit if we return to this area.

Home away from home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loud whistling noise in the room when we arrived which stopped when the door was open. Husband found the screen in the kitchen window wasn't in good and was able to fixed it. Would rather have had a room closer to the elevator since my 71 year old husband brought his golf clubs and had to carry them up and down the stairs. Next time I'll check before booking. My bad. Not the best ocean view on the end and not high enough. Shower track in master bathroom needs some maintenance. Had difficulty with the TV in the Livingroom.
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 26, 2020
Hi Kathy. Thank you for your feedback. We'll get maintenance in to look at these issues. Please come back and visit us again soon!

A Relaxing Trip For Hubby

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 unit was in excellent condition and was exactly what my husband and I needed for a relaxing getaway. The only issue we had which others may possibly have was not anything the owners or complex did wrong. We like to sleep in a meat locker at night so we usually keep our air conditioning at 65 but this one was locked at 69. Also I did not notice in the pictures when we rented that there are no ceiling fans in the bedrooms which made it necessary to use portable fans at night. I use to come to The Islander with a group of exchange students in the 1990's and knew the location and view were perfect for my husbands first visit.
