Enjoyed Our Visit!

We very much enjoyed our stay in 4005! The property was everything we needed - great views, great location, loved the size of the balcony and not too many people. The property provided the necessities outside of beach towels (as indicated in the rental agreement). The only deduction we made was because there was still sand on the floor when we got there, so we had to do a little sweeping to walk barefoot immediately upon our arrival.

Thank you for leaving a review. We will contact housekeeping about the sand in your room upon arrival; thank you for letting us know. We look forward to future reservations in which you can take advantage of the return customer discount.

Great stay !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Super stay. Enough room, perfect view from balcony, easy walk to beach, wish I would have brought extra chairs they are over priced to rent everyday in my opinion. Not much to do right there for kids, but 15 min. around the corner in Destin there is plenty and it is easy to get to- other than traffic can get a little crazy. I would stay Gina in a heart beat though !!
Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jul 2025
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear you had a super stay and enjoyed the spacious layout and the perfect view from the balcony—it really is a great spot to relax and take it all in. We appreciate your feedback about the beach chair rentals and will pass that along. You're absolutely right—Destin offers tons of family-friendly activities just a short drive away. It means a lot to hear you'd stay again in a heartbeat. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Accurate listing

Condo was just as described. There was plenty of towels and dishes and everything. The room has a beautiful view. Due to its inset, you can’t see sunrise/sunset from the balcony. The master bed was firm upon laying down but softened nicely and was very comfortable. The beach service was very nice to have.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place! Well equipped condo with lots of space and storage. Only thing that should be replaced is the sofa bed. It was awful. Had to put the mattress on the floor. On July 4, the umbrellas around the pool should have been up. Even after we asked the desk, mid to late morning they said the pool maintenance people had left early. That wasn’t acceptable poor management.
Response from VrboOwner on 27 Aug 2025
Thank you for your review and feedback. We will be sure to have the sofa sleeper concern passed along to the appropriate party. The pool area including those umbrellas are controlled by the Home Owners Association, we do apologize that the umbrellas were not open. We hope to have another opportunity to host you again in the future. ***Update***The sleeper sofa has been replaced in August of 2025***

Islander Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: AWESOME. We have been coming to the Islander for many years and we have rented many Condos in the building and have never been disappointed. Our recent stay was great. The Condo was clean, comfortable and exactly what I expected. I loved the rocking chairs on the balcony. Our coffee maker was not working so I called and a new one was brought right away. Love the Islander resort, the view is second to none. Always visit McGuires Irish, The Donut Shop and Back Porch Restaurants in Destin. But always stay on Okaloosa Island at the Islander. Will be back again next year.

The view is amazing. When checking in our room we noticed the back door lock was broken off. They had someone look at it right away and he was back the next morning to fix it! Everyone was very nice and efficient. My daughter left her wallet and we didn’t notice until we were too far to turn around. When we asked for them to mail it to us they immediately had the wallet and it was in the mail being sent back to us that afternoon! So thankful for their kindness! We will definitely be back!

Great location right on the beach. Pool is huge and nice as well. Condo was very clean and comfortable. Only recommendation is to provide some more basic supplies, such as coffee filters and coffee or K cups, spices, more than 1 roll of paper towels, basic beach toys, etc.
