We had a fantastic stay at this beach condo! The space was more than generous- plenty of room for two couples to spread out and relax. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Best of all, the location was perfect- just steps from the beach with complimentary chairs and umbrella. Whether you're looking to lounge by the pristine waters of the Gulf of America or explore the area, this condo is an ideal home base.

We had a wonderful stay at the Islander Resort! The property was beautiful, and the unit we stayed in was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, perfect for a relaxing getaway.That said, there were a couple of minor issues we wanted to mention. The smell of bleach from the sheets and towels was quite strong, and the dishwasher had a very unpleasant odor that made it hard to use. These didnโt ruin our experience, but they were noticeable enough to mention.Overall, we really enjoyed our time and would definitely consider returning. With a little attention to those details, it would be a 5-star stay!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Weโre so glad to hear you had a wonderful stay, enjoyed the property, and found your unit clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing. We do use industrial-strength washing products to ensure the highest level of cleanliness, but we understand the scent can sometimes be strong, and weโll look into ways to make it more pleasant. We also appreciate you letting us know about the dishwasher odorโour team will address this right away. Weโre happy to hear youโd consider returning, and weโd love the chance to welcome you back for a perfect 5-star getaway!
