We love the Islander. This was the first time at this condo. Was beautifully decorated. View was great! The beach was very smale. Sand needs to be dridged in. Alan the beach service guy was great as always!

Dear Brennan,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review of Islander #503. I'm so glad you enjoyed the updates to the condo and the amenities overall. By the way, if you walk on the beach for about a mile to the West, you will come to a cute little beach bar and grill. We hope you'll consider staying with us again on your next Destin Beach Vacation!
Best regards,
Chris & Tom

Thank you for your review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. I am so sorry about the elevators. We have them fixed. Unfortunately, we can't stop people from trying to stop the doors to slide in at the last minute and it dislodges the door track. The elevator does what it is suppose to do, shut down. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience. Hope you come back and visit again!
