Our favorite spot!

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 10th year staying at the Islander and as usual it was amazing! We love all that the Islander has to offer and hope to go back again soon. Only one major disappointment this year...Our beach attendant Allen wasn't there and was replaced with people who could care less if you even existed. Alan was a great piece of the Islander and they should definitely find a way to get him back.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept, 2025
Thank you so much for being a part of The Islander family for the past 10 years! Guests like you are the heart of what makes this place so special, and we’re thrilled to hear that your stay was amazing once again. We also want to share some happy news — Alan is back! We know how much he means to so many of our guests, and we’re just as excited to have him returning to the beach team. Your loyalty and feedback mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for many more wonderful visits.

We loved the location and closeness to the beach. I never did get any responses back on my messages to our host but thankfully the front desk of the property was very helpful. One downside of the condo was the lack of outlets. In this day & age, even just the basics would have been appreciated. I almost thought if we had known ahead of time, I would have brought extension cords/power strips. We did enjoy the overall experience but the condo is definitely dated. I would still stay there again though.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such an enjoyable stay over Spring Break 3/16-3/23. The condo is in an ideal location just steps to the pool and beach. We were pleasantly surprised— amazing ocean view from the balcony and master bedroom window. All beds were incredibly comfortable and the condo was clean. If anything needs improvement, it would be updating the bathrooms and sofa / decor in the living area. All were fully functional and in perfect working order, just looking a bit tired and in need of refreshing.

Reviewer Comments: Fabulous location, Perfect view of the ocean with seats for five on the porch, comfortable beds, spacious for the five of us, lots of kitchen,tools, everything was really clean, plenty of towels for pool and beach, appreciated that there was a staff member in the lobby for check-in and questions, pool was perfectly cleaned at all times and warm. The beach was as close as it could be. And the two comfort beach chairs and umbrella were glorious. Saw dolphins the morning I got up early-straight from our porch right in front :-) couldn’t have been happier. I just would have brought potholders if I were to change my preparations :-)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We usually visit the Islander in August but due to an upcoming and unexpected surgery for our daughter we had to reschedule our vacation to June. Unit 407 was literally the only unit available for the week we needed and so we took it! We have stayed in the same unit for the past 8 years so we were nervous. Once we arrived we quickly realized that this unit would more then suit our needs! It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed! As always the Islander was our perfect spot and beach service by Alan was exceptional! Until next year!!!

Great Location Not So Clean Room

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was ok. I just wish housekeeping would do a lot better job. Tile floors were filthy. I wiped up kitchen floors with towel and afterwards towel was black with dirt. This was when we first entered condo. You had to either keep shoes on or wipe feet off before going to bed. I stayed in a different room last year and had same problem.

Thank you for submitting your feedback ! We apologize about the housekeeping issues that you experienced and we will make sure that these issues are addressed.

The sectional should be replaced with a new one. Sectional of course because it’s the only reason we always choose this unit. The wife and I can comfortably stretch out. The master needs the mold on the ceiling taken care of. It happens in all bathrooms. All in all a 4.5 stars.

Nice family atmosphere!!!

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 were on the 4th floor with a gulf view. Very nice condo with great view of the ocean and east pool. Activities daily for kids/families that was a nice touch. We grilled at the gazebo area and swam at both pools which was nice because it one pool was crowded we would check the other. One day we did get locked out from the balcony (was stuck on the balcony) but called and someone came right up. We don’t know how it happened because no one was on the inside to lock the balcony door. I would recommend this condo. Restaurants nearby that we went to were The Back Porch, McGuires, Rockin Tacos, Merlin’s Pizza, Whataburger and Krispie Kreme. Great location.
