Loyalty has no reward

Rating Details: 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 been Island House regulars during Independence Day week for about 20 straight years. This year we were looking forward to celebrating the 250th birthday of our nation. But for some inexplicable reason, the date was given to somebody else. The only explanations are either incompetence in the office or money changing hands. Loyalty meant nothing.

Exceeded our expectations!

The location of this rental property could not have been any better. The view of the ocean was incredible. It was so well stocked with everything we needed to cook during our stay. We will definitely be back and will share this info with our friends as well!!

We new the resort had taken hits from hurricanes but most everything was back to normal by the time we visited. The unit is always clean and has nice furniture. What we really like is the guest room has 2 queens for extra room.

Wonderful vacation in great location

This review does not apply to the unit pictured. We actually stayed in 14N at Island House Beach Resort, which was a beautiful, immaculate, well-appointed unit. Originally we had reserved the unit pictured, but shortly after the reservation had been made, we were notified that it was not available and selected 14N instead.

My kids enjoyed the game room by the pool. We can’t wait to return next year.

Our new vacation destination

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: Second year at Island House` First time renting 2S which had been recommended by staff.We were absolutely thrilled with the condo. The view is stunning and so close to the beach.features I liked were the laundry facilities were right out the side door. Guest beds are queens.We came right during "love bug" season but it didn't phase us- Saw a few roaches in/around condo but I don't think it's a reflection on the property- it's just nature. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and a bonus (that we discovered 1/2 way through the trip) was lots of beach supplies. We left our Kites and Pool Noodles for the next guests to enjoy. I can't say enough how much we enjoy this place.

Nice updates, but Bugs!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: This is the second year in a row that we have stayed in 2 South. The updates from last year are very nice, as well as some new furniture. Our only problems was with bugs, cockroaches and larger Palmetto Bugs that freaked out the girls and had the guys hunting them down with brooms and bug spray. The furniture outside is also a nice addition. This will mark our 7th visit to the Island House Beach resort and unit 2 South has become our favorite.

Island House Beach Resort

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this unit is great! However, the unit itself is dated. Doors to lanai are broken, door handle to bathroom in 2nd bedroom is broken, vertical slates missing in 2nd bedroom missing causing the bright light from outside walkway to shine in bedroom all night. Fresh coat of paint would do wonders. Beach chairs in unit were not usable as they are rusted. No extras in this unit at all compared to other units, but again, location is great.

Not the Best

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: My family has been coming to Island House for 2 decades now since I was a kid. Now I am an adult taking my family as well and this was our first disappointed stay. 2S was not as updated as other units. We also had a major fly issue which is not normal I am sure, but still put a bit of a damper on things. I think the location is great as it is so close to the beach, but the Patio door and door to outside seems pretty run down. Also some of the blinds are twisted or falling off. One one set of keys worked out of the 2 and even with those it was hard to navigate the front door with the key. Also most other units seem to have access to Smart TV functions like Netflix and I don't think we had that access. The Island House Property was lovely as always just wish the unit was better. The convenience of the beach distance was good but not sure it was worth the lack of upgrades and issues. Regardless we will definitely be back to Island House next year.
