Hi Angela, thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful and secure environment during your stay. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing experience!
The place was quaint and cozy; great for a couple. Awesome view of the gulf and because it was on the east end, the beach felt private. The heated pool and pickleball courts looked wonderful; wish the weather had been better to enjoy them. The location was perfect for getting around the town. We will definitely be back!!

Hi Mitch, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cozy space, the views, and the location. We hope next time the weather will cooperate so you can take full advantage of the heated pool and pickleball courts. We look forward to welcoming you back!
A nice stay, with good amenities and a fantastic view. Decor was elegant -- homey, without a lot of kitsch. Bed was comfortable (if a bit too plush for my lower back). Since it was a chilly December, the heat worked well for comfort.

Great place to stay with family. Low key location away from crowds, pristine beaches, good fishing, excellent views, close to downtown. Room was perfect for family of 4. Clean rooms and all the necessities provided was a nice touch. Pool, pickleball, grills on site, laundry, vending machines, etc. this place is truly a hidden gem.

Hi Ronald, thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the beautiful Gulf view, clean beaches, and the comfort of the apartment—especially the great A/C. We’re sorry to hear you had some trouble with the door lock and TV remote, and we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We'll definitely look into making those instructions clearer.

Location is away from the busy seawall and located on the beach. The condo is small as stated in the description, but they have done well with the available space.
The facility itself is well maintained with friendly staff members.
We had a great time during our stay here.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
All was good except for the fact that it took 30 minutes to get a door code to open the door. I literally called 4 times and left voice messages as well as sent an email. No one would answer the phone if I pressed #1 (for people staying at a rental) yet they answered first time when I pressed #4 (to list a house for sale). Interesting.

Hi Renita, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad the rest of your stay went well, but we’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced at check-in. That delay and the difficulty reaching us are not the level of service we aim to provide. We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to improve, and we hope to provide a much smoother experience on your next visit.
Good property. Casual, laid back, relaxing, comfortable.

Hello John, thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear you found the property comfortable and relaxing. It's great to know you had a laid-back experience. We'd love to welcome you back for another restful stay anytime!
The property management gave me wrong check in codes 3 times. Apparently there was problems with the entry device which they knew in advance. Also there was a strong mold odor as soon as I entered.There was visible mold in bathtub at caulking. The owner had decorated it so cute, but the bed and couch were hard. Islander East property itself including staff was otherwise very good considering the age. Spectacular sunrise view.

Hi Cynthia, thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the check-in codes and the condition of the unit. We understand how frustrating that must have been and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We’ve addressed the entry device and cleanliness issues with our team to ensure they don’t happen again. We’re glad you still enjoyed the décor, location, and beautiful sunrise views, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the guest experience.
Husband and I booked this little room as a last minute vacation/babymoon. We enjoyed the ease of check in/out and the friendly staff.. the beach was lovely and less busy on that side. The room was clean and cute. We would come back again!
Everything about the property was fantastic. They didn't have any paperwork about my stay at check in but it was sorted out quickly. Amenties were good, beds were very comfortable, and the beach was easily accessible and quiet. Will definitely stay again
The condo was well supplied with all we needed, dishes, drip coffee pot (no blender) paper products, towels wash clothes, shampoo, body wash, beach towels, blow dryer, comfortable beds the list goes on and on. The pictures of the property are accurate. Check in was great no problems, very friendly, helpful staff. A nice quiet area with great views both from inside and out. Just a short drive to everything. The condo is small, about the size of a hotel room but nicer and better equipped, perfect for 1-3 people. We had 2 in our party. I would stay here again and recommend this property.
