Great Views and Location. Very nice unit. Fully stocked kitchen with many cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. All in great condition. Kitchen appliances on the newer side. The Master Bedroom mattress could use an upgrade. both sides of mattress have a dip where you lay and a ridge in the middle. Foam pad could help.

Spring Break 2022 2022-03-22

By: Scott B. Trip Date: 2022-03-13

First time my family and I have had a "family vacation" just us. The heated pools were a hit with the whole family. Although our condo was on floor 5 there wasn't a time we waited more than a few seconds for the elevator. The room had a gorgeous view of the ocean and we could see out kids in the pool. The room was clean and maintained; enough room for our family of five to relax comfortably.
Great vacation and looking already to come back.

Our stay was very nice! The room was clean, comfortable and very relaxing. We all enjoyed our stay. The only 2 things that needed improvement would be be the guest bathroom. It had a tub w/ shower but, shower head wouldn’t turn on and one of the burners on the oven didn’t work part of the time. Those were the only 2 things. I would recommend this place as a safe family friendly vacation spot. I’m looking forward to going there again next year

Our First Trip to Destin but Not our Last! 2021-10-16

By: Michael H. Trip Date: 2021-08-14

Our family of five adults had a FABULOUS time in Destin, but what made it so great was the beautiful condo Unit 508! The remodel of this unit was everything the owner claimed it to be. The view was absolutely picture perfect, one that I'm framing. The resort grounds were beautifully maintained, the pool and hot tub were clean every day, the grill area was lovely and located right by the ocean, and the walk to the beach from our condo was convenient and short. Having two beach chairs and an umbrella available to us on the beach during our stay was wonderful and greatly appreciated. Our family had zero negative comments about our accommodations and the resort. We will be back!!! Thank you so much!!

Great Experience & Unit Except Floor Needs Moping 2021-07-12

By: Ashley T. Trip Date: 2021-06-12

We had a wonderful stay in Unit 508! We absolutely loved the Islander and always will try to get this unit whenever we stay at the Islander again. The beds were comfortable, the unit was nicely furnished, the view was great, it was quiet, etc. My only complaint is that the floor would turn our feet black in a matter of minutes. The floor had been vacuumed nicely but I could tell the floor hadn't been mopped in a long time!

6/5/21 7 night stay 2021-06-14

By: eddie l. Trip Date: 2021-06-05

Arrival was nice. Busy. But folks at main office moved everyone quickly. First glance of unit was nice. Layed out good. The kids loved the separate twin beds. Master bath and bed has plenty of room. Over all pleased with unit. Only negative for room would be there is no laundry room in unit. But there is one on site. Pools were sufficient for the kids. They didn’t mind. Not overly crowded at eithe pools at any time. Very quiet at night. Can’t hear foot traffic or partying going on. Accommodations at beach were ok. Would like to see the chairs spread out more not in a “horseshoe shape” for more views of the water.

Response from The Islander Management:

Thank you for the feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your say with us. Unfortunately, due to our beach being smaller to fit all of our chairs we have to place them that way. We hope to see you again in the future!

Feb Month Stay - 2021 2021-03-08

By: Bryant C. Trip Date: 2021-02-06

We frequent The Islander for years, best spot I feel that gives you front access to beach, low key off the beaten track but close to everything if you want more excitement.

Room clean upon arrival, fantastic view and reason why we always choose East side floors 5 or higher. Master Bedroom nice with plenty of storage for our month long stay. Furniture all comfortable especially liked the recliner to see beach while having morning coffee.

Some items that need attention:
Lamp next to coach needs socket replaced. Connection burned where bulb connects to socket. Toilet (next to 2nd bedroom, will run occassionally, 50/50, next flap replaced to ensure it closes every time to allow reservoir to refill. Stove door is loose on right bottom side comes out time to time. Pantry doors need adjusted currently drags floor and must lift and hold door up to close or open. Lastly living room TV challenging to get to switch from TV to other features like YouTube, etc. All other TV work great.

Ample supply of dishes, pots, pans very nice ones too!. I worked remotely while staying there, appreciate the blazing fast internet, over 400Mbs, wow! Worked flawlessly.

Response from The Islander Management:

MR. Caldwell, We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us . We will make sure maintenance takes care of the issues you found in the room. Sorry about any inconveniences that they may have caused. We can't wait for your next visit to the Islander.

Better than a Cruise 2018-10-09

By: Anonymous Trip Date: 2018-09-24

Naked (boxers and shirt, don't want to scare the children)coffee every morning on the deck. The free chairs where a great gift and the attendants very helpful as was the desk staff. Beautifully decorated. Convenient to our favorite shopping and dinning. Pool was at the back door and beach was a skip and a jump past the pool and tennis courts. A short walk on the beach to the Destin pass for snorkeling the sea wall and fishing. Thank you all for making it a wonderful vaka.

Response from The Islander Management:

Hello Ron, What a way to wake up each morning..508 has an amazing view! Thanks for giving us a perfect rating. Kind Regards, The Islander

Love the Islander 2018-07-13

By: Dawn F. Trip Date: 2018-06-23

We have been staying at the Islander for about 10 years now. We love the atmosphere and location. This year we stayed at the in the cottage and I will not be doing that again just because of the mattress in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable. We had to call and get the toilet fixed and water was not draining out of the dishwasher. All was fixed the day after we called! Most condos have been wonderful. Some are much nicer than ever. But the experience of the beach, the pool, and the grills area have always been fantastic! Would recommend it to anyone and have numerous times.

Response from The Islander Management:

10 years! That is its own testament to us. Our maintenance team are quick to resolve any issues as reported and we thank you for quickly reporting any. We look forward to your return on your 11th year!

The vacation was great, the room was great, the only thing I would have a negative on is the elevators they scare the **** out of me, they were acting very strange all week which had me climbing 5 flights of stairs several times a day.

Response from The Islander Management:

It pleases us to know you had a great vacations. We apologize for the elevators scaring you, however we can assure you they are very safe. We are up to date and any and all routine maintenance and inspections.

The condo and grounds were very clean and groomed. Front desk very polite and the condo was equipped with everything we needed . We will definitely come back and recommend this complex to our family and friends. Thank you
