Beautiful Condo right on the beach!

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: Great location. The resort was very clean and well-maintained. Loved the convenience to the beach and pool. Also loved the activities they had planned for each day. Our kids loved the sandcastle building lessons. I wish there had been a beach shower at the end of the boardwalk instead of just inside the pool area, but that’s my only critique. Would definitely stay here again!

Good value and room location

Very enjoyable stay. Room was nice and in good condition. Had everything we needed. Bedding was comfortable and A/C worked well. First floor location was very convenient. Close to pool and beach access. Property was well-maintained...landscaping was very nice. Fresh paint on exterior; sidewalk, common areas have been updated. Beach was narrower than we might like and chairs were limited, but is was still nice. Beach attendant was very friendly and professional. Would advise getting out early to reserve best chairs. We enjoyed our first stay in the Holiday Isle area, very centrally located. Overall, would highly recommend!

Beach Lovers Must Stay Here!

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: I’m very picky about where I stay and I’m 100% a beach lover! Just steps from the beach, and heated pool. Ideally perfect for older folks due to the main floor or families with kids. The community was quiet, clean, and check in was extremely convenient. Are only hiccup was the fridge ice maker not working however the front office provided complimentary bags of ice. I highly recommend this unit and community. We will hoped be back soon!

Great condo and Great room

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 is a great room and straight across from the beach gate. The condo does have a washer and dryer which is very nice and is what keeps us coming back to this room. I do wish that the washer and dryer were not such an expensive upgrade to the room though. Also, it would be nice if a shower head would be installed in both bathrooms that had a hose due to all the sand. All in all a great condo and The Islander has a great beach attendant.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental was good. The toaster is in need of attention. I left something important in the room upon departure. I’ve got noting but the run around every time I’ve called. New person every time that doesn’t know what I’m talking about. So the chain of command needs attention. It would be extremely easy to handle my dilemma. Now I’m sure I never will have it resolved.
Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the rental overall, and we appreciate you bringing the issue with the toaster to our attention — we’ll make sure it’s addressed promptly. Regarding the item you left behind, we truly understand how frustrating this situation must be. Please know that as soon as we were made aware, we followed up with both our housekeeping team and the unit inspector. Unfortunately, neither reported finding any left items in the unit after your departure.

Islander is great! See you next year!

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: Unit was great and we have stayed there for 3 years in a row and we will again next year. My only complaint is that the laundry washer is disgustingly dirty and full of crud. We attempted to clean it after we got our clothes infested with water hat looks like grime and dirt flakes from inside the softener tank in center of agitator... It is filthy and all that junk broke up into our laundry.... it needs a deep cleaning with a long brush. Other than that it was good. I wish florida didn’t have such a musty smell in these units but th ru ball seem to smell the same. It’s ok because we burn all our clothes when we get home. Kidding! See you next year!

Mold

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: 2nd night here my 10 yo and 21 yo step son's sinuses really started messing with them. 4th night my 10 son's sinuses started messing with him. I started smelling mold in the bathroom. 5th night I notice mold along the wall by the vents on the ceiling. I called the front desk and was told maintenance would be down in the morning. They said they would be treating it with bleach. My husband is from Louisiana. He knows a lot about mold. If you use bleach on mold, it turns into pneumonia. We told them to hold off until we leave the next day. We stayed out of the condo as much as possible. With all that being said, the condo was nice, very convenient.
Response from VrboOwner on 11 May, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you had a bad experience here with us.
