This was a wonderful opportunity for my son and his friends (All age 18) to go on a senior trip before going away to college, to have a fun time at the ocean with a wonderful chaperone (his dad) Our son wanted to show his friends around where is was born and where his mothers' family is from. The property was very comfortable for everyone!

Great location, steps to the beach. Unit was clean other than gnats coming in front door. Pool closes early for our liking. Many gnats coming into unit from overloaded trash dumpster at bottom of chute. Area needs to be cleaned thoroughly and more frequently.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If you're primarily wanting to sleep, then this unit was great. Literally have the beach within walking distance and a pool by the back door. No stairs. However, the inside is really dated. The beds super uncomfortable, the appliances really old. The furniture really old! I was disappointed at the price you pay to have the unit not be more modern. Like I said, the perk is opening the back door and having the beach so close!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Disappointed in our room location. View was of pickle ball courts and non stop traffic going in and out of the neighboring building. Room is very outdated . Staff was great; general manager awful; we were trying to re-book for next year to different room, and after MULTIPLE requests for a manager to call us over a 4 week period, never got the courtesy of a call. Won’t be back next year after staying here for over 10 years😔

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Me and my family go to the Islander every year. Aunts, uncles, cousins, since we were kids. This year was great as well, but the room wasn’t exactly great. I paid for a mid tier room, but this was one of the worst rooms we stayed in. When we got to the room, it had a smell to it, almost as I the cleaning staff tried to use a cleaner to cover it up. After a few days when the cleaner smell wore off, it smelled a little off, not sure what it was. There were also roaches, I’m sure from being right by the trash bins, but regardless, didn’t enjoy that. Other little cosmetic things too, bathroom vanity was old and warped, paint job was terrible, those sorts of things.

We loved this first floor condo, we were able to walk right out to the beach, pool, etc. The unit was clean and met our expectations. I was glad we were able to do the laundry exchange twice during the week to get clean towels. Defintely recommend the stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Unit 101 is the best location on the property for beach access. We absolutely love it! We have stayed there 15 plus years. However, it needs updates to mattresses, TV's, appliances. We hope every year it will happen, but it hasn't. Our kids are older and need comfortable sleeping arrangements for a week long trip, so we may have to move from our favorite unit for future stays. Again, this is a terrific location.

6/10

The location is convenient for beach access. It’s even closer than the pictures may indicate. The gated entrance and location of the property seems to offer extra security. Check in was simple and provided by very friendly staff. The furniture is a little dated and not comfortable. This includes the couches, dining chairs and beds. Updates of the furniture and in the bathrooms would make this a five star rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very disappointed in the way our unit was furnished. It was really worn with old furniture and in need of several repairs. We notified the front desk of the broken items and they did send maintenance to repair them. I’m not sure why it was rented with towel bars dangling from the walls. The location of the unit did help make up for some of the dinginess. You are definitely the easiest place to load and unload your car and get on and off the beach and to the pools. We would not rent this unit again. We had never stayed there and did not pay enough of attention to their condo ratings. Maggie is awesome at the desk. She goes above and beyond. Having the beach chairs and umbrella included with the unit was really a bonus.

6/10

Great location! Property in general is clean, including the outside. Housekeeping did a good job with the cleaning. The unit I stayed in is old and is badly in need of upgrades. The worst part though is the furniture, namely the couch. It is filthy and not only looks dirty but smells badly as well. It causes a bad odor in the entire common area.

Location of 101 was very convenient. However the unit was very very dated and the TV (used in Feb during rain) is in desperate need of upgrade compared to other units. We would not stay there again unless the unit was upgraded as we moved to a different units for 2022.

The unit was exactly as advertised and we enjoyed being able to walk out our unit and just a few steps to the boardwalk to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed as well. We will definitely consider the Islander again when visiting Destin. Well worth the price we paid for the convenience of the beach, location in Destin, condition of the property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I don't expect a platinum experience from this unit. However, a clean unit is expected. Mold began growing in our shower almost from the beginning of our stay. Also,there were stains on the rug and the couches were very dirty from wear and tear. The bathroom rug needs pitched. We love The Islander and what it has to offer, but hope for a better unit next time.
