Much needed vacation

The property was exactly what was pictured on the website and the view was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely return! I found myself waking up at the crack of dawn to look at that spectacular ocean view…. Just in awe of God’s creation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay in Destin. The view was beautiful and the unit was clean. My only complaint is that it is advertised as having a sleeper sofa and it did not have one. Management gave us an air mattress and said the sleeper sofa was on back order so hopefully that will be rectified soon. Other than that, everything was great. I would stay here again.

Annual vacation at the Islander May 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 initially had rented a different unit but due to unexpected issues had to be moved to a different one. The staff was very helpful and made sure to get us moved to another platinum room on the same floor with the same view (east). We ended up staying 2 extra nights. All of the staff on duty during our 9 day stay were very friendly and available to help when needed. The Islander is so convenient to everything and our unit was clean and well-stocked.

Beach Trip 2022

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: We have been coming to The Islander for 8 years now. We love the location on Holiday Isle. The staff is very friendly and professional. The only complaint is the cleanliness of the stairwells. The trash chute stairs need extensive cleaning and power washing. I personally would never stay close to that area. I also think the pavilion could use a large ceiling fan. My family enjoyed all the activities provided. See you again soon.

The living room rug was very dirty, the master bath shower needs the grout cleaned. And the quality of paper-goods are so bad you might as well not have them.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We try to come to Destin twice a year and most of the time we stay at the Islander. This year we stayed 2 weeks. I have walking issues so we wanted close to the elevator. Unit 609 was perfect. The only complaint we have with the condo was the refrigerator. it made a high pitched sound the whole 2 weeks.Alan was great with the chairs and all of the attendees at the desk were always friendly and helpful especially Wayne . I'm afraid our secret is out. Very crowded the first week!
