Nice walk to the beach and to the pool. Food and shopping was close by, everything we needed was just a 5 mine drive away. Would 100% stay there again

Spectacular Vacation

The Islander is wonderful and inviting! We have stayed at the Islander for the past five family beach vacations and we have had excellent experiences. The staff is helpful and there are family activities scheduled Monday-Friday. Our unit was very clean and comfortable for the week. Highly recommend!

Annual Grandson vacation

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've been going to Destin for the last 5 years. We've only not booked at the Islander once due to taking our children & their families. We definitely said that should we take the entire family again, we would book 2 condos as the atmosphere, location and cleanliness is always top notch! Our grandson's, along with us always feel at home!

Outdated

Our unit was outdated. The sinks did not drain well and the entire unit smelled moldy/musty. The designated beach area was small and crowded. No place to rinse off beach gear. Majority of view was another condo complex.

Unit is Not platnuim or updated- dirty and dissapointing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. 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’ve been staying at different units at The Islander for 7+ years and have never been disappointed like were with this unit. The dishes were dirty when we arrived. Gross, with food on them. 3/4 of the dishes were dirty. Housekeeping and the manager came to address this, but really most of the dirty dishes were just put back into a different part of the pantry and some of the grossest coffee cups were removed. We had to still run 3 loads of dishes in order to have enough clean dishes for our stay. Every time I went into the cabinets to look for another dish to cook with or a bowl, I found more dirty dishes. The cabinets themselves were dirty on the inside as well.There were roaches crawling in the sink when we arrived. We counted 4. There were living in both sides of the drain. Unacceptable. If this was our first time here, we would have checked out and left. We appreciate the unit being treated on Monday, but we still had roaches crawling in the kids' bathroom and shower during our stay.The “platinum” unit is not anywhere near what we expected for this price point. There are multiple issues throughout the unit that “might” be tolerated at the lowest bronze price point, but not at this level. The property is not well maintained. As we reported at check-in, a chair in the main room has a broken leg. The “renovated” bathrooms and kitchen are patched, filled with bad paint jobs and poor repairs throughout. This unit states that it is recently renovated but it is a worn-out-looking unit.We love The Islander. We’ve been coming here for years for family trips. We are happy to pay for the higher-level property because it meets what we expect. We are glad the pool areas are still kept clean and up to par. We love this location, and the staff are great and friendly. We hope this unit is reviewed before staying on the Platinum list and the web description needs to b

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at this location in Destin. The only issue I had was when I arrived, I found bags of dirty linen in the unit and the beds did not appear to be changed. I asked for the housekeeping service to come back, but it took multiple requests and 3 days for them to come back to change the linens. Otherwise, the front desk and general staff were excellent. Maggie was very friendly and informative. The arts and crafts were fun for the kids.
