Perfect Place to Stay at the Beach 2022-06-20

By: Rob M. Trip Date: 2022-05-28

We were looking for a beachfront resort in the United States with blue water.
On the recommendation of a friend, we came to The Islander and were not disappointed! We could see the beach right out of our windows and balcony. The beach sand is white, and due to gated access to the beach, it does not feel overcrowded. There are many shopping opportunities, and there’s a pool,
hot tub, tennis and pickle ball courts for recreation.


Hope to come back again!

My family and I love staying at the Islander! This has been our go to for years! The view from the room is perfect. The room however needs some upgrades. The dishwasher was not the best. The shower had a leak. But over all we did enjoy our stay.

NEEDS UPDATING 2021-05-24

By: Sandra M. Trip Date: 2021-05-15

The unit had a great view. The kitchen did not have a good selection of pots & pans to cook in or utensils. The dishwasher and refrig were older, countertops were outdated and there were no starter packs for the dishwasher, no detergent or sponge to wash the dishes, not a single plastic container to store leftovers, etc., only 1 extra trash bag, no tissues. Had a musty smell. Overall, needs a major update.

Response from The Islander Management:

I am sorry that this Unit did not meet your satisfaction. We try to advise that our guests look at the unit pictures on our website before booking. I will pass on your comments to the owners.

relaxing vacation 2021-05-17

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2021-05-07

We really enjoyed our stay in Destin at the Islander Resort in Unit 502! The resort staff took care of all the paperwork and kept in good contact with us about the arrival details. The Unit had everything we needed and the view was wonderful! The kitchen was well equipped although we didn't cook many meals there. The balcony was shaded no matter what time of day you wanted to enjoy it! It was so great to be able to hear the waves from our unit! The bed was very comfortable in the master and since it was only us 2 we didn't use the other bedroom but did use both bathrooms which was nice. It was nice also to have a safe to lock up our valuables. The hot tubs and pools were very nice and warm and the area around them was wonderful! The beach was beautiful white sand and good for walks with gentle waves and dolphin views every day! The chairs and umbrella that were prearranged by the resort was very nice and the attendant Bryson was great with the guests. We had a problem one day with a window that wouldn't close and it was repaired shortly after we called so the staff responded quickly. We did have a problem several times during the week where people were smoking on their balconies ( which is not allowed) and it was unpleasant for us while we were trying to enjoy our balcony. The office was contacted about the problem and was understanding and said they would check into the situation. The fine was $1000. There is a designated smoking area on the property but often times people did not choose to use it and would be in/near the public areas. The unit has carpet which we felt would be better to replace with solid surface flooring of some kind due to it looked worn and for cleanliness and we felt it contributed to a musty smell even after airing out the unit and using febreeze. Overall, we had a wonderful time staying at this resort/unit and will most likely stay again in the future but may try a unit with solid flooring.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for the feedback . We will pass on to the owners your concerns. We are glad that overall you enjoyed your time with us and we hope to see you again soon.

Look elsewhere 2018-01-03

By: Lisa A. Trip Date: 2017-12-29

The location was nice and great view. However, the con’s outweigh the pro’s on this one. The walls and kitchen floor had chipped paint, with the exception of kitchen of course, everything was carpet that seemed in desperate need of replacing. Didn’t even like to walk barefoot on it. And the most major complaint of all is the king bed in the master bedroom! We couldn’t sleep and had to go to the chiropractor when I returned was that bad. I’m sure the floor would’ve been more comfortable. You could feel every spring in the mattress. That absolutely needs to be replaced, the twin beds in the other bedroom were pretty much the same.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for your feedback. Your opinion is very important to us. We do apologize for any inconvenience your experienced during your recent stay. We strive to have the most comfortable furnishings in all of our units. We will forward your concerns to the owners. We hope you will give The Islander another opportunity to earn your business. We value you as a customer!

Room 502 Dog Review 2017-10-25

By: Steve H. Trip Date: 2017-10-16

Excellent view. There was dog urine smell we had to deal with for 3 days. Management was very responsive and appreciated but carpet needs to be replaced. Even after cleaning it was evident.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize about the smell in the unit. We are having the carpet, tile & furniture cleaned in the unit. We would love to earn your business again. We hope the next time you travel to Destin, you will stay with us here at the Islander!

great view and wonderful management team and staff 2017-09-28

By: Jann P. Trip Date: 2017-09-21

We had never been to THE ISLANDER UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK - it was in good condition, very clean and seemed freshly painted. GREAT VIEW and balcony nice. EVEN though there was some work on-going, we had a nice quiet visit there and felt 'right at home'. Pool area is certainly nice as well.

Thank you so much! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay with us here at the Islander. We hope when you travel to Destin, you’ll let us know when you’re coming and we can reserve your favorite condo!

Great getaway 2017-09-08

By: Michael P. Trip Date: 2017-09-02

Decided to take a last minute trip to Destin. I have been there several times over the years and a few of those were to the Islander. I decided again because of the location, a clean nice place, and pricing. They are reasonably priced and easy to book. Check in is at 3. Like most everyplace in the world. I hate this. Your first day on a trip is always wasted. I know you can use the pool and beach etc. but it is not the same. We got there around noon after driving 13 hours and the room wasn't ready until after 4. Other than this the trip was great. Alan and the beach service is great!!

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you so much! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay with us here at the Islander. We do apologize for your condo not being ready, we are striving to have the best staff and cleaning service available. We hope when you travel to Destin, you’ll let us know when you’re coming and we can reserve your favorite condo!
