The room was nice, clean, and large enough for our family. However, the cable TV did not work in any of the rooms. When asked at the front desk for help, he said try a different button on the remote. That was no help at all…because it did not work in any of the rooms. Also, only one elevator worked on the property; however, they did have an elevator company working on it. Otherwise, the accommodations were nice.

The unit was perfect for our needs - two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a great view of the gulf from both the living room and the master bedroom. Just a short walk across the property (less than a couple of minutes) to the beach. Having beach service was wonderful. The second bathroom had a drain issue in the tub, but after calling maintenance, they fixed the problem. The second bathroom could use some updating to match the beauty of the rest of the unit.

This was a nice size unit with a great view! The kitchen was stocked so we were able to make dinner every nigh. The propoerty managers were helfpul. It was great to have beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach everyday! The unit didn't have a great smell and the floors were very dirty. The beds were nice and clean.

Pictures on here do not do it Justice!

My family stayed here for 4 days. The check in process was super easy, the staff in the front desk are so sweet. I would have two complaints, the smell of vinegar is super strong, seems like they might have cleaned with it. Also, one of the beds in the room that has two is super uncomfortable, it has a weird dip to it. This has a beautiful beach/view, two restrooms, third floor right above the heated pool. Besides this I would 100% recommend, ah the area is amazing, short distance away from everything and it is quiet.

The view was great and the room was perfect! The only problem I had was laundry was a little strange with no change or soap machine but you can get all that at the front desk . Will definitely stay there again maybe 4th or 5th floor ! Staff was very friendly also .

Unit 309

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I recently stayed in unit 309 for a week in September 2023. The unit was clean and well furnished, however, the bed in the master bedroom was extremely firm and uncomfortable. The beds in the second bedroom were not as firm but worn and in need of replacement. I would not recommend this unit, unless you prefer extremely firm mattress and staying for a shorter period of time. I expressed my concern to the lobby folks who were very nice and they indicated they would notify the owner. Otherwise, the Islander is a great place to stay and the location is ideal and close proximity to restaurants and the boardwalk. The landscaping is immaculate, the pool was very clean and has easy access to the beach. I have stayed here on three occasions and would recommend staying here.

summer trip to Destin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have vacationed in Destin in the Spring for nearly 25 years. This was my first trip to Destin in the Summer. We had a great trip The unit we rented was sub par compared to other rentals at The Islander. It showed well online, but i was disappointed when we actually arrived. The furniture appeared dingy and the pull out couch was dirty. I thought the unit, as a whole, could have been cleaner. The kitchen was nice. The color in the master bed and bath were not welcoming and those rooms did not seem to flow with the rest of the scheme in the condo. Some of the artwork just looked cheap. We had a great time at the Islander, but I will avoid renting this particular unit in the future.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 May 2022
Thank you so much for your feedback. We do apologize for lack of cleanliness. We strive to have the best cleaning crews here at the Islander.
