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.

The beds aren’t very comfortable but I can sleep on anything so it’s ok. We really suggest the owner to upgrade cooking ware. All the pots and pans are super sticking! I spend good amount of time just cleaning them lol. Also the plastic spatula is super cheap

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.

We enjoyed our stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 property & location were as described. We loved our view from the west side and as shown in the description. The Islander property itself and the unit were clean & maintained. It was just a short walk around the pool & tennis courts to get to the beach. We came at the end of Dec and were driving in a car, so it would have been nice to have beach chair services. They have a nice gazebo/covered shelter area where you can grill/eat. The front desk were helpful. The pull out sofa was comfortable enough for a sleeper sofa but I wish that units would provide a memory foam pad to place on top for added comfort. The neighborhood was nice. I would recommend this property and stay there again. We talked to "snowbirds" who have been coming there for years and they enjoy their stay there as well.

The Islander Feels Like Home

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: 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! 🌴
