Our stay was relaxing. The unit had everything imaginable that we needed and did not remember to bring like scissors. We enjoyed the West View from our balcony and close access to the elevator.
Our family had a great time in this vacation rental. Access to beach was outstanding as well as other nearby attractions. Would definitely stay here again.
Comfortable stay. Had everything we needed on site. Beach service was a plus! Beautiful beach area.

First time to stay at Islander and I have to say it was probably one of the best experiences we have had. The room was very clean and felt like home. The beach was absolutely beautiful during our stay and we loved the free beach service that was included in our stay. Everyone from the resort staff to the beach service was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend this resort and will definitely return for another stay.

The Islander property and unit 511 were beautiful. The master bedroom has the SOFTEST BED ever. I love a soft cozy bed, but this bed was awful. It had zero support and our backs hurt each morning. Other than the master bed, everything else was perfect.

Reviewer Comments:
This was my 8th trip to The Islander, and somehow, each visit just keeps getting better than the last! From the moment you step on the property, you know you're in for something special.The views? Absolutely breathtaking—whether it’s sunrise coffee on the balcony or sunset walks by the water, it never gets old. The cleanliness is always impeccable. It feels like they prepare the place just for you, every single time.But let’s talk about what really makes The Islander stand out—the staff. They truly couldn’t be any better if they tried. Warm, welcoming, and always going above and beyond, they make each stay feel more like a homecoming. You get the sense that they genuinely care about your experience, which is rare these days.I already can’t wait for my next visit—The Islander continues to raise the bar every time. Highly recommend! 🌴

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was dirty upon arrival and we had to wash all the dishes prior to use due to food left on the silverware & black residue on cooking utensils/bowls. The fans had dust piled on them, the dressers were missing knobs, the sheets were stained and the mattress cover is ripped. Barely enough cooking utensils to make a meal. After showing the front desk pictures they did refund us the housekeeping fee & for that I was grateful. Overall the best part of the unit was the view of the bay. The elevators became stuck on a regular basis. This made it challenging getting to and from the 5th floor.
Nice and clean. Close to the places we enjoy and great beach access. The staff was always so nice and was quiet even with being above the pool.

We liked the beach access! Unit was clean. Master bathroom sink kept stopping up.Iron needs to be replaced it is broke. We were told trash chute was only on 2nd and 3rd floors, but it was one on the 5th floor where our unit was. It would have been nice if both pools were open at 8 am, one pool didn't open until 10 AM. Very near to shops, restaurants and activities.
