Reviewer Comments:
The access to the beach was nice. The fact that twoChairs were included was also nice, but you had to wake up early to ensure you got them especially ones that weren’t four rows back. The kitchen was outdated. The master bathroom had a sliding door to close to get in the shower, that was very difficult to move as well as the pantry closet being difficult to open. The beach view was nice and front desk staff was friendly.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful beach view and found the front desk staff to be friendly — and we agree, having beach chairs included is definitely a nice bonus!
We understand the challenge of securing front-row chairs during busy times, as the beach service operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen and sliding doors. Please note that you stayed in one of our Bronze-Level units, which is our basic, non-upgraded option. These units are priced accordingly for guests looking for value over luxury, but we’re always working to ensure they are clean, functional, and comfortable. Your comments will help guide future improvements.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay — perhaps in one of our upgraded units for a different experience!
FANTASTIC View of the water, Location and Amenitites! Check-in / Check-out was very easy. They don't miss a beat. The beach is very close and they have chairs/umberella ready for you to use. Front desk staff (Alex/Betsy) were so very helpful. Great property, can't wait to go back.
The condo is 4 stars for cleanliness (could have been cleaner) the propery is 5 stars, they were constantly cleaning public areas.

We had an amazing time! The condo was fully equipped with everything we needed! The bed wasnt too comfortable, but beyond that we had a great time! We even found a little hermit crab in the condo. Looks like the family before us must've bought it and it got out. Well it re-emerged and now we have a new pet named Pete.

The Islander resort was very clean, quiet and had a lot of great accommodations; specifically the linen exchanges, along with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella set up for you daily at the beach. The condo was clean and it's a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen is a little dated but it had everything we needed to cook with for the week. The only complaint we had is that both toilets would continuously run. We had to constantly fix the handle/stopper to make them stop running. They both should be fixed before the unit is rented again. Overall, we would recommend this condo and the Islander resort.

this property could use some real updates, the tile used as baseboard was falling off, there were 3 roaches in the bedroom by the kitchen, needed more lights everywhere, some lighter paint would have helped, it was just too dark, in general needed some TLC.

The resort grounds are nice and it has some great amenities. Many of the rooms are nice - however my room (703) needs some TLC. Wallpaper is peeling off the walls in the bathrooms, closet door was off the track, furniture and kitchen are dated and the kitchen pans are poor quality. I will stay here again - but next time a different room.

We love the islander and have always stayed in beautiful condos, we love the 7th floor on the east side. This condo however has a rug that is so dirty, the white parts/patterns are grey. You can tell it’s from filth because the parts under the couch are still white, also the cushions on the dining room chairs are filthy. For that much money for a weeks vacation, the owners should be able to afford a new rug & dining chairs.

We have stayed in this unit before and have had a good experience. On this trip we noticed the furniture is showing wear and couch cushions do not sit well. We also discovered 4 dead long roach like bugs two under under our bed. The second bath is showing wear with the sliding shower door rusted. The one plus was the tv with HBO.

We got married at the jetty east next door and decided to move over to the Islander for an ocean view. Everything was very nice. The two things I can say that could use improvement are1: the couches. They are very very stained and uncomfortable to sit on. We didn’t use them often, but that’s part of the reason why.2: the master bed. It is EXTREMELY hard and uncomfortable. I can sleep anywhere, but this bed had us tossing and turning all night. All in all, it was a gray stay!

This was my first time at the Islander Resort. It was wonderful. Location to restaurants, grocery stores, and souvenir stores. The towel service is such a great idea. I was a little concerned not having a washer and dryer in my unit I had never stayed in a condo that didn’t have them. Definitely loved that I didn’t have to spend my vacation washing beach towels and bath towels. Saved me a lot of money of time. I also loved that the supply beach towels. I fly and I don’t have much room for them. The pools were both great! The flat walk to the beach was short. Loved that I didn’t have to do steps if I didn’t want to. The ramp is nice for wagons and coolers. The unit 703 was very nice and well decorated. My view of the gulf was amazing. The unit was clean and well stocked with anything I could need. It was very clean. I loved that all units come with an umbrella and 2 chairs. Definitely will be coming back and staying on the East side again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing The Islander for your first stay! We’re thrilled to hear that Unit 703 was a great fit and that you enjoyed the beautiful Gulf view, clean and well-stocked accommodations, and convenient location.
We're especially glad the towel service and provided beach towels helped make your trip easier — we know how valuable that extra time is when you're on vacation! It's also great to hear you appreciated the flat beach access and the little details like the beach chairs and umbrella that make a stay more enjoyable.
We’re so happy to know you’ll be returning and plan to stay on the East side again. We’ll be looking forward to welcoming you back for your next beach getaway!
