Love/Hate Relationship

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: We LOVE the Islander! This was our 7th visit! But I must say we were disappointed in the cleaning this year. Didn’t appear to be vacuumed and the more I thought about it, I’m not sure if the sheets were changed. I realized this when laundry exchange day came around. There was also a stain on the box spring that was visible. We will be back, but this was disappointing. Also, a helpful attitude and more knowledge from desk people would have been appreciated.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 201 was such an awesome location to rent!! On the corner and next to garbage!! It was very quite didn’t hear a thing!! The condo itself is very spacious and beds were very comfortable. It had what we needed( not much) to function for the extended weekend. The view was so picturesque!! We’ve stayed at this location several times and will continue to come back. The added beach chairs and umbrella tops the stay off!!

Nice

The property was very well kept. The condo was nice and clean. It does need some upgrades. The sofa and recliner need to be replaced, they are not comfortable to sit on, we had to sit on a cushion when sitting on the sofa so we didn't sink into the sofa making it very hard to get up. The hinges in the bathrooms are rusted. I am not being picky but for the price we paid, I would suggest that it's time for the owner to consider updating those few items.

Great condo in the best location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This listing needs updated photos as the furnishings and appliances have been upgraded from what is seen in the photos. That being said, I've been coming to the Islander for 32 years. This unit has been my favorite one. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards are included which we happily used. I loved having breakfast on the balcony every morning because of the ocean view. The unit is next to the stairs so it was very convenient for beach and pool access. We loved our stay in this unit and look forward to returning!

Great view

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view and location were great! Having to get up early to get chairs was no fun but part of it. The showers leaked and were very good water pressure and the stove only half worked. The 3rd bed was unable to be used and we had to go buy an air mattress. It is in the perfect location and easy to get in and out of. Overall it was good but was expecting more for the price.

Islander Vacay 2022

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is Great. The Staff was more than helpful and went above & beyond. The condo is a little dated on appliances, but the beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. Highway 98 is a little hectic. Easy access to grocery stores, pharmacy & shopping outlets. Restaurants were also close by. Whomever cleaned the condo before our arrival cleaned in a hurry. There were candy wrappers left under the beds, razors left in showers, but was nothing we couldn't take care of because I always re-clean due to my husband's illness. This was our first time to Destin & we will be back and I highly recommend the Islander property! They also have accomadations for someone planning a wedding and room for a reception all in one place.

Fall Break

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is in need of some overall maintenance. The furniture seemed in pretty bad shape. The showers have a black mold in the tracks and some tiles. There were candy wrappers and chewed gum, assuming left from previous renters in the twin room. Some of the linens on the bed seemed a bit dirty as well. The unit smelled odd, when we got in it was an overwhelming smell of cleaner but after that it almost smelled like a mold smell especially when the kitchen cabinets were opened. The location is great being at the end unit and we had a nice view. Easy and quick access to the beach, having two chairs provided is also great.

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: The condo was great! Beds were comfortable, everything was clean. I just wasn’t happy about having to pay a $50 non-refundable damage fee and $125 housekeeping fee when you don’t get housekeeping.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May, 2022
Thank you for your feedback ! We appreciate your recommendations and we will make sure to work on them for our future guests. We did want to clarify that the $50 non refundable fee is your damage waiver that would cover you for up to $1,000 in damages if anything should occur, it's included in every reservation. The $125 cleaning fee is payed in advance by guests for housekeeping to clean after the guest checks out. We look forward to having you as a guest in the future.

Has its perks

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: Mediocre but has its perks. We asked to move from our first condo and into our second. It was much better but we pay a good amount for a cleaning fee and I can’t say that its money well spent. The tracks on the tub were disgusting but the rest was just ok...could have been cleaner. Great location and amenities

Great Vacation!

Everything about the location of this property was perfect! The condo definitely needs an upgrade. The furniture and rugs were stained. Everything was pretty dirty overall. The basics could have been better stocked as far as dish soap, bathroom soap, oil and tin foil for cooking, and small things like that. We had a great stay regardless and would definitely return!

Great Location, missing a few things

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We come to the Islander several times a year with our family. This is our second time in this unit. We picked it because of the game system, due to the weather being bad. The xbox did not have chargers and was missing one cable. The twin bedroom did not have a tv remote and the master was missing a cable to play movies. We reported these to the front and they let us borrow a hdmi cable for the master. If the unit is going to continue to advertise the gaming system, then they need to provide all the pieces for playing and to make the tv and game system work. The location of this unit is ideal bc it is on the end and you can easily walk down to the ocean and pool. It does not have ceiling fans but they did provide small floor fans for the bedrooms which was nice to have.
