Ready to go back

Our stay wasn’t long enough, ready to go back, and I would look into staying here again. Love that the complex isn’t massive en in size, so people aren’t on top of each other. The 2 bedrooms fit our family wonderfully. We did use the washer on 2nd level and that wasn’t an issue. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife has been going there since she was a kid. This unit was good overall. Suggestions for improvement would be new mattresses especially the king bed, dvd players that actually work, and a rug for living room. The tile only in living area can get slick with sand.

The beds are quite comfortable. The sectional sofa, though it looks good needs to be replaced. I hope the owners will replace it. Other then that we have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The unit was very clean as well as the grounds and common spaces.

Summer tradition!

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: We have stayed at the Islander for the last 3 years and we love it. Every year has been a different unit. 506 was perfect for our trip - 3 teenage girls and 2 adults. Always a great vacation and this property hasn’t let us down. The only issue is the elevators- one was down and when it was working we decided not to take it due to the function not at 100%. They had work being done on it but I’m sure the high use in this climate makes it hard. Again, overall great stay.

I would stay here again, but maybe not this unit

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was good! The location was great. The staff was super friendly!! The unit was clean. The kitchen lacked many amenities and the selection of pots, pans and utensils. I had a hard time making food in the unit with what was there. That was a challenge. And no simple dry goods like salt and pepper? Or garbage bags? I had to buy everything then dispose of it after only using a few... super wasteful!!!!

an Unpleasant Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: One of the worse units we have stayed in.The location was great but the amenities were few. It appears to be a unit that is just there for rent and as if the owner is just collecting money. As a landlord I provide families what I would want to have if I was living there and this is definitely not the mantra of this owner. I will never recommend or rent it again.The unit needs to be upgraded: furniture, lighting, pots,Bedding, utensils etc. we have enjoyed the Islander But will never return to unit 506

I am sorry you feel this way about this unit. I have passed along your comments to the owner. This is a silver unit while we do have platinum units that have been completely remodeled.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: For the most part there are no complaints. The room itself was amazing and just what I needed for the family. The west pool being closed the last night we were there was really disappointing. They said someone would clean it the following morning but it was just the maintenance man who cleaned said pool so I don’t understand why it wasn’t done that night.
Response from VrboOwner on 20 May, 2022
Hi Rebecca. Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, there was an accident in the pool that evening. They took care of it as soon as they came in the next morning. I hope you were able to enjoy the East Pool instead. Thank you again!
