The unit is updated and well-appointed. It had everything we needed and boasts a great view of the sunset and harbor entrance. The walk to the beach is really short and easy. Alan the beach attendant is very friendly and helpful.
Can't say anything bad about the unit, it is great. If you are reading reviews and hesitate because of posts related to dryer not working. It has been replaced and works very well.

Wow! This unit was amazing! It was very clean and tastefully decorated. We were a little worried about the walk to the beach, but soon found out we were worried for no reason. Our view of the harbor entrance from the balcony was gorgeous.
One thing I wish we would have known when we got there was to go down to the beach each morning to reserve your chairs that come with the unit. It’s a first come first serve basis and we didn’t find that out until our third day, but once we figured that out my husband went down around 6-6:30 each morning and took 2 towels to place on each chair.
Overall our experience was GREAT and we would definitely try to get this unit again when we stay in Destin.

We enjoy the Islander a lot, and the people. One thing I would suggest when the office people set a date for reserving your condo...they make sure all are aware of date just not the ones at a meeting. I feel also we had a lot of problems with the washers not working. Okay...our condo 415...is not a luxury platinum...washer, dryer do not work. Some of the furniture, mattresses should be replaced. Love the walk in shower and decor colors.

Nice condo, however we were not notified about the dryer being out of order until after we checked. The staff at the front desk didn’t even notify us during check in, basically house cleaning out some painters tape on it that said broke. After we inquired about it, we were told it had been out of service for months. Front desk attitude gave the impression that they could care less about the situation.

Over all, we really enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location was great, especially for families with small children. The pool, beach and restaurants were not overly-crowded and the atmosphere was great. The condo was very pretty and the pools were a great temperature for this time of year. My one suggestion would be for the housekeeping staff to pay a bit more attention to detail. We found a empty water bottle behind a nightstand and candy in one of the nightstand drawers. The floors appeared clean but our feet and socks were very dirty. We had to wear shoes at all times while in the condo. The floors definitely were not mopped prior to our arrival. We would stay here again but our hope is that this review will help the cleaning staff to improve for future stays.

Vacation rental was perfect! We stayed a week & could not have been happier! This rental was clean & very well appointed with nice up to date furnishings & appliances. It was the perfect size for a family of 4 including 2 teenagers! Plenty of room for all of us to spread out & feel comfortable. Master bedroom had a view of the ocean & sunsets were spectacular! Location to beach was a quick easy walk & the beach attendants were awesome! We got provisions for breakfast & snacks & either did takeout or went out for dinners which worked well for us. Some restaurants were better than others regarding Covid precautions so we tended to go to more upscale restaurants to avoid bigger crowds & risk. Our favorite was Louisiana Lagniappe! Also loved the Island Wing Company for takeout & drinks at the bar while you wait! Overall a fantastic trip & beautiful property. Would definitely stay in this condo again & would absolutely recommend to others!

This was the second vacation our family spent at this property and with rental rates going up as much as 15% you would think that they would keep up with the quality, but you would be wrong. Apartment was filthy with litter under beds and empty soda cans behind plant pots. All closet doors were broken and so was the dryer for which I got a small refund. Cockroaches in the bathroom at night. Swimming pool under water lights did not work for the whole stay. Compering with the properties around it is still a good deal, but with prices going up and quality down I will be looking for something else next time.

I would definitely stay here again. GREAT LOCATION! No issues with parking. Plenty spaces were available. Plenty of comfortable condo for a family of 6. Very short walk to the beach. Very convenient having grocery carts to help with luggage & everything else you bring to stay in a condo. Everything we needed was in the condo. It rained due to a tropical storm-the condo had games to keep my kiddos occupied until the rain passed. There were 2 minor things: the washer wouldn't come on. I contacted management & it was taken care of same day. (It just needed to be reset nothing major) The condo was very clean. I did sweep everyday just to keep the floors clean throughout the stay. While sweeping, I swept up a few chunks of glass from the master bathroom. I'm not sure what it was from but we were barefoot & that was concerning if they we would have gotten glass in our feet. I didn't do a good sweep (just enough to keep the sand from getting everywhere) so I'm not sure how house keeping didn't get that from doing a thorough sweep & mop. AC worked GREAT! We really did enjoy our stay & would definitely recommend to anyone.

We are so glad we chose to stay at The Islander. This was our first trip to Destin and first time at The Islander. I did a ton of research & couldn't have picked a better place. This unit was amazing - pristine clean, beautifully updated and had all the extras we needed. The views were amazing as well. Some things we really appreciated that weren't mentioned in the resort descriptions: They sell bags of ice at the front desk for $3. This was SO convenient! We were in Destin for our son's world series baseball tourney, so it came in handy for coolers but also was great for heading to the beach. We had a blender in our room and even tupperware bowls with lids - also great for packing snacks for the beach. There was a yoga mat and two small beach chairs. Plenty of towels and even a lounge chair on the balcony (along with a table and chairs). They had nice railings on the sides of the balcony which was great for hanging towels to dry, without making the place look trashy. We loved these little thoughtful things that made the unit even more functional. There were a couple of board games in the unit as well and plenty of bed linens. Everything was so great, staff was super friendly and our kids loved all the amenities - pools, tennis/basketball and we had so much fun playing shuffleboard. The gazebo/pavilion with grills was also beautiful - we hung out here with friends one night & they let our friends park in the lot when they came for dinner, no problem. Loved this location in Destin, it was convenient to everything including a Target across the street and the Mexican restaurant, La Paz, just down from the condo was good too. The beach chair service that was included was also so nice! If you want the front row closest to the water you'll need to get to the beach early in the morning but otherwise, we loved that you could show up any time of day and there were always chairs available. We will absolutely be back!Thank you for everything!
