Our unit was comfortable, the bathrooms were spotless, but the floors could have been cleaner. Overall we had a good stay.

Thank you for submitting your feedback ! We appreciate your recommendations and we will make sure to work on them for our future guests.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The islander and staff are very nice. We've stayed several times and usually enjoy ourselves. However this year the MBR mattress was terrible. It was so worn out that we could feel the springs and would wake up several times during the night sore. If you're charging platinum rates, then you should have a decent mattress.

Great Condo!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: I was a bit afraid to rent here because the condos aren't directly on the beach and because of the reviews of the long walk to the beach... But the walk was nothing! This condo has a great view, great location, was super clean, and they even had some games there we could play. Everything was as described. Our only complaint was with the building itself and not this particular condo - the elevator was not working the entire week we were there and this caused LOTS of waiting around to get up and down.
Response from VrboOwner on 30 May 2022
Hello Ximena, We are sorry about the issue with the elevator. Thank you for taking time to write this review and give us some feedback. Please give us a call when you are ready to reserve your next stay with us. The Islander

Satisfied first timer

First time in Destin. Found this property and tried it. Checked in at 4 pm on Sunday. Only waited a few minutes. Staff was courteous. House was clean. Linen could be a little cleaner but I over looked it. House doesn’t have any cooking oil so bring your own stuff to cook. Decent amount of pots and pans and utensils. Property pool is small but clean, never too crowded. The beach access was easy, about a 2-4 minute walk - with a toddler. Beach was clean. We did not use the umbrella and chair service because we were in the water most of our beach time. Very close to Target and WinDixy (sp). Close to restaurant and excursions so didn’t have to drive far. We tried snorkeling and liked it very much. Overall, great stay. Condo was clean and good amenities. Laundry on second floor and cost $2.25 to wash and dry. Bring extra trash bag, paper towels, dish soap, dish washer soap, sponge to clean dishes.
