Had a great week at the beach! Have stayed at the Islander for 10 summers. This unit is one of our favorites. Kitchen is well furnished. Beds are comfortable. My only complaint is the sofa. It is well worn, sagging , and needs to be replaced. Will definitely be returning next year.

This was our 3rd year booking with Brooks & Shorey. We weren’t able to rent the condo we’d had the previous 2 years, but with help from the awesome staff we found a great unit. Upon arrival our door code wasn’t working. We called the office & received a new code promptly. The condo was spotless. We appreciate the mobile checkout option as well.

Reviewer Comments:
My mom, sister and I took a girls vacation and stayed at this condo which was beautiful inside and out. The view is absolutely amazing and unobstructed and also away from the pool area which can get noisy while sitting on the balcony. The condo is as exactly as it appears in the pictures and is equipped with most things needed. The only issue we had was the bed was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable for my mother and I to sleep on. The only other thing which is probably out of their control was beach service. The guy saw us struggling with My mom‘s wheelchair at the steps And did not even offer to help. We did have the beach wheelchair but we had to use her regular wheelchair to get her to the steps. I still give this condo five stars overall! The views and the memories made up for it ❤️🏖️

The condo was very clean. It is in a great location to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. Only complaint I have is the kitchen. While there are plenty of dishes, some Tupperware bowls or mixing bowls would have been nice. I ended up buying and leaving a hand mixer and mixing bowls with lids.

Amazing views. Clean, spacious rooms. easy to check-in. washer/dryer within the apartment made life a lot easy. Couple of feedbacks on what can be improved:1. More towels required/ change of towels on the second day of stay. 2. Some beach toys and a cooler can be provided to have refreshments on the beach.
