The property is just lovely for families. A very short walk to the beach, with chairs/umbrella included. Staff was very helpful. With options between heated pools and beach, our primary concern was with deciding where to spend the day. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay so much that we’ll be back again for sure. A lot of the people are recurring which says a lot. Friendly, convenient, the room had everything we needed. Only thing that was missing was a full length body mirror.
The property and location was great . The staff helpful and easy access to everything. The unit was clean but it smelled very musty, seems as if a dehumidifier might be in order.

This was a beautiful updated cabin. Very comfortable and clean. Huge tv in the living room, and tv’s in both bedrooms. Beautiful walk-in shower in the LARGE master bathroom. The beach was just a short walk from the condo. Large balcony was big enough for a layout chair and table with chairs. This cabin was in a GREAT location, surrounded by so many good restaurants and shops.

We stayed in the same unit the previous year and really liked it. Was a bit disappointed that the dishwasher was not working during the entire stay and the sleeper sofa was also broke or not functioning correctly. But in general, we are always pleased with the Islander and the facilities. Despite the recent issues, we would and do recommend the Islander to anyone interested in traveling to Destin. This is our 8th or 9th time staying at the Islander.
This was our first time visiting Destin. I always get nervous going to a new place because you aren’t sure of the area or if the room is as good as it looks. I can honestly say the room was exactly as described!! The kitchen has everything you could need and more! I noticed this unit also had a washer and dryer while some of the others I looked at didn’t. We didn’t end up using it, but what a nice plus to have available!
I loved how conveniently located the pool was to the room. My kids loved it and most of the time had it all to theirselves. The beach was a short walk away and it was so nice to have the beach chairs included with our stay.
We will definitely be back!

It was great except for the last night when our air conditioner turned off completely and the thermostat wouldn't come on. We checked it and it no longer had a battery in the thermostat. Not real sure why that happened. But our last evening through night until checkout at 10am, it was pretty hot in our unit.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Islander. The location was great. The views from the room were outstanding. The proximity to groceries and restaurants is great.We received great communication leading up to and throughout our stay.The unit we rented was well equipped and had everything we needed to enjoy our week at the beach.We made great use of the pickleball and tennis courts. The front-desk staff was very helpful in providing gear for us to use. Our son was also pleasantly surprised to find out they had skim boards to borrow as well!We really enjoyed having chairs and an umbrella to enjoy the beach as well. Alan was a great attendant who got everything setup and taken down and came through to check on the guests frequently.While it didn't impact our stay that much, I did remove one star for general condition for a few little things that weren't functioning. The front gate to the resort from the road was propped open due to issues. This made it more convenient to come and go, but could be an issue for security. To be clear, we never felt unsafe. Also, the gate to the beach was malfunctioning on our last day, but the front desk staff, again, was very helpful in assisting.These little items would not prevent us from coming back or recommending this to others.

Reviewer Comments:
This particular condo was very clean, updated and was perfect from a loading/unloading. It is high enough to see the ocean, pool, hot tub. The 4th floor and it’s closeness to the steps was convenient for the grocery trips. This condo was more updated than some of the other ones that our friends stayed in. We loved finding the board games and cards that were equipped in the condo. If there was one thing we could use more of, it was storage containers or at least bigger bowls. I did lots of cooking for dinner versus going out so I didn’t have much to use for leftovers. Overall, the stay was great and would recommend it to anyone. As for the property management, or front desk, their could have been better communication. The contract says check in is 3pm. We arrived at 3pm and were told that it could be up to 5pm before we got into our condo. The communication is misleading and should be more spelled out to guests. The policy is that you are charged immediately after 10am checkout. I think that if check in is this late, then you shouldn’t have to pay full price for that day/night.

Reviewer Comments:
Our stay was July 15-19 (Monday evening to Friday morning). We drove down from Ohio and stayed in Nashville on our way down and back.Unit 204 is very comfortable. Our 4 year old son loved having his own room making this condo a win over a typical hotel room. The pool was very relaxing. The painting event for kids was a hit. Overall, we enjoyed our entire vacation. If there was anything I would have wanted to change, it would be that some of the guests raced to the beach first thing in the morning to claim every chair in the first row, then rearranged the chairs into a circle so they could plant a giant flag pole in the middle and display political flags for the entire beach. They then went back to their room and didn't use their chairs for the entire morning. We setup a blanket in front of them and relaxed, so we enjoyed our front row seat to the gulf.This unit was the perfect getaway. Easy to access by the stairs or the elevator. Next time we come down, we will try to get this unit again.Just some tips for future renters, there is literally nothing in the unit for kitchen consumables. We rented a rural cabin once and it had seasonings and cooking spray in the kitchen. These have NONE of that, so either bring it with you or be prepared to go shopping. Target is reasonably priced; Winn-Dixie is very expensive.

And when we went to get them they said that they didn't get them from the cleaners.
