What a view!

FANTASTIC View of the water, Location and Amenitites! Check-in / Check-out was very easy. They don't miss a beat. The beach is very close and they have chairs/umberella ready for you to use. Front desk staff (Alex/Betsy) were so very helpful. Great property, can't wait to go back. The condo is 4 stars for cleanliness (could have been cleaner) the propery is 5 stars, they were constantly cleaning public areas.

Perfect for our family getaway!

We had an amazing time! The condo was fully equipped with everything we needed! The bed wasnt too comfortable, but beyond that we had a great time! We even found a little hermit crab in the condo. Looks like the family before us must've bought it and it got out. Well it re-emerged and now we have a new pet named Pete.

Overall nice

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 access to the beach was nice. The fact that twoChairs were included was also nice, but you had to wake up early to ensure you got them especially ones that weren’t four rows back. The kitchen was outdated. The master bathroom had a sliding door to close to get in the shower, that was very difficult to move as well as the pantry closet being difficult to open. The beach view was nice and front desk staff was friendly.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Jul 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach view and found the front desk staff to be friendly — and we agree, having beach chairs included is definitely a nice bonus! We understand the challenge of securing front-row chairs during busy times, as the beach service operates on a first-come, first-served basis. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen and sliding doors. Please note that you stayed in one of our Bronze-Level units, which is our basic, non-upgraded option. These units are priced accordingly for guests looking for value over luxury, but we’re always working to ensure they are clean, functional, and comfortable. Your comments will help guide future improvements. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay — perhaps in one of our upgraded units for a different experience!

Destin Family Vacation

The Islander resort was very clean, quiet and had a lot of great accommodations; specifically the linen exchanges, along with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella set up for you daily at the beach. The condo was clean and it's a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen is a little dated but it had everything we needed to cook with for the week. The only complaint we had is that both toilets would continuously run. We had to constantly fix the handle/stopper to make them stop running. They both should be fixed before the unit is rented again. Overall, we would recommend this condo and the Islander resort.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this property could use some real updates, the tile used as baseboard was falling off, there were 3 roaches in the bedroom by the kitchen, needed more lights everywhere, some lighter paint would have helped, it was just too dark, in general needed some TLC.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The resort grounds are nice and it has some great amenities. Many of the rooms are nice - however my room (703) needs some TLC. Wallpaper is peeling off the walls in the bathrooms, closet door was off the track, furniture and kitchen are dated and the kitchen pans are poor quality. I will stay here again - but next time a different room.

Great but could have been cleaner

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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 love the islander and have always stayed in beautiful condos, we love the 7th floor on the east side. This condo however has a rug that is so dirty, the white parts/patterns are grey. You can tell it’s from filth because the parts under the couch are still white, also the cushions on the dining room chairs are filthy. For that much money for a weeks vacation, the owners should be able to afford a new rug & dining chairs.

Honeymoon 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: We got married at the jetty east next door and decided to move over to the Islander for an ocean view. Everything was very nice. The two things I can say that could use improvement are1: the couches. They are very very stained and uncomfortable to sit on. We didn’t use them often, but that’s part of the reason why.2: the master bed. It is EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable. I can sleep anywhere, but this bed had us tossing and turning all night. All in all, it was a gray stay!
