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 condo unit was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative was trying to figure out which of the three remotes worked the Tv in the living room. The view from the balcony was awesome and the pools were clean. Would recommend more umbrellas in the pool area. Would definitely stay again.
Response from VrboOwner on Jul 9, 2025
Thank you for the great feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the clean condo, comfortable beds, and beautiful balcony view. We appreciate your note about the remotes—we know that can be a little frustrating, and we'll work on making it more straightforward for future guests. We’ll also pass along your suggestion for more umbrellas at the pool area. So glad to know you'd stay again—we’d love to welcome you back soon!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We previously stayed on the 5th floor but the beds were not comfortable. The beds in 403 are very comfortable. The sofa and chairs are not the best and would love to see new more comfy seating. The location is great. The kitchen has just about anything you might need. We booked for November of 2024. Oh, the washer dryer sold us at first and makes it easy.

Fantastic place to stay

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: It was our first time traveling with our friends. As four adults we were looking for the perfect rental to all be able to enjoy our vacation. We looked for many weeks to decide where to go in Florida and landed on Destin. The next step was finding a great place to stay and this condo was perfect. With two nice size bedrooms and king size beds in each room both couples had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. The location was excellent with a great view. The convenience to many local restaurants was fantastic. This condo was the perfect place to stay with a great view and many things to do.

The only thing that I would change would be the sleeper/sofa. It was somewhat difficult to sit on due to the bar from the sleeper. Otherwise, it was an excellent unit and was very welcoming

Destination wedding guest stay

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 very clean and updated. We had 6 guests stay in the condo and overall it worked out well. We were not crowded but one couple did have to stay on the pull out couch, which was easy to assemble. All 3 of the beds were not very comfortable and very loud when a person would move. There needed to be more pillows for the pull out couch guests. The kitchen and patio were great as well as the staff at the Islander! Besides the comfort of the beds affecting sleep the stay was great. We were 5 minutes from everything we wanted to do and walking distance from the wedding venue.

Hello Leina - Thank you for taking time to write this review and give us feedback. We are pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay. The owner just had the master bedroom mattress replaced in December 2018. I am sorry it was not replaced prior to your stay. We look forward to your return. Kind Regards, The Islander
