Great property and location. The condo itself was nice but could have been better stocked. The property grounds themselves could have been cleaner…stairwells, etc. seemed like it needed a good pressure washing and lots of trash around. Overall nice. Would book again.

This property was great. It is decorated very nicely and the view of the beach is fantastic. The primary bed was comfortable! The building was nice and there were lots of people on vacation here, in a good mood, and no stress. This section of Okaloosa Island has light control for nesting sea turtles all summer. That means that the sky is bright and you can view stars right from the beach and the pool. Night swimming was a real treat and the pool here is very nice.

Best condo I have rented yet at this resort! Remodeled with updated appliances and in a coastal theme that calms the soul. Over the top communication for checking that all was good during the week stay. I already have it booked for Labor Day Weekend and will be booking this one for next years trip!

The property was just as described. The owner communicated very well. The building was older but well maintained. The condo was beachfront and just what we wanted. I would definitely book again.

The condo is lovely & the beach is beautiful. Two negatives, communication was a little confusing. The rental agreement indicates that you have to check in before 5pm to get a parking pass or you might be towed. This was a struggle since we were 10 hrs away, but we made it, barely. However, when we got in to the unit, there were parking passes for us. Also, I wish the description or agreement had clearly stated whether chair service came with our unit as it was obviously included w/ others. The unit needs some throw blankets. I found a couch cover in the closet & used it. Other than those minor issues, it was beautifully decorated & a lovely location.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I’m glad you enjoyed the condo’s decor and the beautiful beach. I apologize for the confusing communication around the parking pass and check-in time — we’ll review the rental agreement and listing language so that the process and timelines are clearer for future guests. I’m also sorry the chair service and extra blankets weren’t clearly noted; we’ll update the listing to clarify what’s included and add more throw blankets and couch coverings for guest use. Thanks for the helpful feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Islander Beach Resort 2002. RealJoy Destin
