Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My three teenagers and I had a wonderful 4 nights at the Islander. It was the first condo in Destin where we have stayed that was not beachfront, so we were a bit uncertain, however this is now our favorite! The westerly view was perfect for relaxing with a view of the beautiful sunsets! It felt more private! We all loved the exposed concrete floors also! The condo layout and furnishings met our needs perfectly.

I would not recommend this for older adults as it was hard to get up and start moving!
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
Thank you so much! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay with us here at the Islander. We do apologize for the inconvenience, perhaps on your next booking you can request a room with higher sitting furniture and beds. We hope when you travel to Destin, you’ll let us know when you’re coming and we can reserve your favorite condo!

The unit itself was very clean, bed was comfortable, well stocked kitchen, and very pleased overall. The front desk staff were very helpful and we were able to use their computer to print up our flight boarding passes. The extra beach chairs were helpful too. If there was any down side, it was the fact that the beach was very crowded and small.

I brought my 2 teenage sons for Spring Break and we all had a great, relaxing vacation. Only complaint is the basketball goal is very old and broken down, but that is a property issue and does not reflect on the condo itself

Great place - but lame neighbor

Property was great.. convenient spot.. great view of the fireworks on the 4th.. only issue was tenants in condo below kept smoking on the balcony which made sitting outside to read, have coffee etc nasty.. Called front desk due to it being a nonsmoking property.. They said a manager would address it.. But they must have ignored them they never did stop
