Liked: Check-in, location
Overall the condo was as listed. It’s a nice unit and the view of the harbor is beautiful! It could use a few more outlets but being an older building that’s understandable. Our biggest disappointment is that nowhere was it disclosed that dredging would be going on right in front of our condo. HUGE pipes were taking up our section of the beach, therefore the two chairs we were supposed to have were not available and it obstructed the view and where was available to sit as they were for guests from other condos. It was super frustrating and took away from the experience of vacation.

Quiet getaway

Clean, no frills roomy apartment was perfect for our get-away. The secluded patio was a plus; gated parking, shopping carts to bring in supplies, attended front desk, full kitchen and only the distance of probably a block to the beautiful beach made it a great stay.

The perfect beach rental location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is slightly outdated (for example, master toilet leaks if you don’t jimmy with the lever right after flushing). The building itself is in a much worse shape, but none of that was an issue to us since we spent most of our time on the beach. The short walk to the beach makes it the perfect location. .We met up with a friend there who rented a different unit on the same flat that was better decorated, and the kids spent most of their indoor time there.

The staff were all amazing, friendly and very helpful. They have a great snowbird community there and we were made to feel welcome and enjoyed the many activities offered at The Islander. The unit we were in was very clean when we arrived, however, the unit itself could do with a bit of updating. The property itself was immaculate and the staff were always making improvements.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: We recently stayed at the Islander. Positives: great location (central to so many restaurants & activities), clean when we arrived, rest of hotel maintained nicely, loved having 2 chairs & umbrella per room and the property management staff were fairly quick to answer questions via VRBO. Cons: No employees wore masks including those cleaning the rooms (to me that's incredibly irresponsible during a pandemic). Front desk staff barely looked you in the eye or seemed happy to be there.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented condo 418 for my brother and sister n law. The co do is in desperate need of a renovation. The carpet is old and needs cleaned, there are spots all over it. The living room furniture is old and you sink in it when you sit down. Paint is peeling on the bathroom walls. I have stayed in other units at the resort and they have been much nicer. We found bugs in the unit. Reported it to the front desk and it took 5 days to get it sprayed.
