We really enjoyed the stay. Nice condo in a good location and great beach with chairs for use. The only negative to note was the living room area. The furniture could be more accommodating/comfortable. We are a family of 3 and the seating was limited and not very appealing.

Returning again

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: Condo was true to advertised pictures. The view from the balcony is spectacular with many comfortable seating options. We did not cook in the condo, but used the microwave and cabinets are stocked with plenty of cups , plates, bowls and silverware. Condo was very clean! The Islander property is an excellent location. Property gym is adequate. My only suggestion would be to put check out time to 11 and keep pool open to 11pm. My 4th time booking with Brooks and Shorey and there will be a next time!

Last minute 4th of July getaway

The unit was as advertised. We chose Ft. Walton Beach specifically to avoid the crowds you find at Destin during the 4th of July holiday. We were completely comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful beach just moments away from the condo. It was a nice surprise to get free umbrella and beach chairs for each day of our stay!

Great location on Santa Rosa Blvd, good parking out front, condo was very close to the elevator, condo was equipped with everything you need, and was beautifully decorated with updated appliances, and was just a very short walk just outside the door to the beach.

Pretty updates, but not everything was functional

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The updates to the condo were gorgeous and the kitchen design was genius. The guest bed was terrible, we ended up having to go buy a pillow top mattress pad to make it bearable to sleep on & it was wobbly. Then, one night the bed completely broke when getting up to go to the restroom. The couple staying in the room is about to have a baby so she went sleep on the floor at 8 months pregnant since the sofa is meant for looks and not to actually be sat on since it’s so uncomfortable, not wide enough to sleep on, and there’s also no pull out bed. Brooks and Shorey came to our rescue and replaced the bed frame quickly but I hope the owners get an actual bed. Atleast 3 of the electrical outlets did not work but it was the broken outside one that was the most inconvenient.

We do appreciate your feedback and will pass it along to the appropriate parties. This unit does not have a sleeper sofa. Our maintenance will address the outlets and we invite you back anytime with your return guest discount!

King bed mattress seemed too be a little worn out on sides. Over all I LOVED the location and view was amazing. I have walking issues and the unit was very convenient from elevator, pool, and beach. Look forward to staying again. Brooks and Shorey is always very helpful with any of their rentals.

Loved the view

We loved the view for sure !!! The space was nice and bathrooms roomy and plenty of towels. We could have used extra pillow cases for the other pillows as we like to use two each. We decided not to rent a car and just used Uber and Lyft, which ended up saving us a couple hundred $, as the rentals were so expensive. We would stay here again.
