Beach service was great. Heated pools and hot tubs. Beach was close to room. Good service. Nice room with great sunset view and view of harbor fireworks. Would stay again.
This was a nice, clean, updated condo with everything you need for a great stay. It has two pools but they were never over crowded. The pics are just as the unit is. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was as described. Nice and clean. The pools were nice. The beach chairs were nice but so extremely overcrowded it was overwhelming and so crammed together it was disappointing. Overall pretty good stay and as expected. If crowds are your thing, this is the place

Resort is great. Third stay here. make sure to pack your dish soap and trash bags and paper towels. There is one extra trash bag but not dish soap or paper towels. Our room this trip was not as nice as previous years. Some parts were updated. It was very clean. The tubs were older and didn’t hold water. The kitchen had the bare essentials but we got by. Beds were very comfy. All and all we were fine and will come back!

Overall a very nice condo!! Rented again for next year. Some suggestions for owner to consider. 1) add soundbar to living room TV. 2) Laminated instructions on operating TV. 3) Can’t open master bedroom closet completely due to oversized night stand. 4) Add a Kuerig coffee maker. 5) have a Swifter to be used on hard surface floors. 5) Fix surface light on microwave.We bought and left an 8”x8” Pyrex baking dish for kitchen. Furniture very comfortable as was master bed.

Family vacation
The condo was very clean and nice. Quick walk to the beach and pools. View was Beautiful of the Harbor. Not ocean. Down sides. Property manager gives vague answers or doesn't answer your questions. Never received gate code to get into parking lot. Very frustrating. Last night, partying outside in the walkway. We had to call and complain. It did help for an hour or two, but noise started back up and lasted about 2 am. Lots of Great places to eat and Great for the family. After the frustration of getting a gate code which we received from another guest, not the property manager. We enjoyed the location, restaurants and activities. Just the noise the last night was such a disappointment (long drive the next day) and a sour end to an otherwise Great vacation. Also, would like a better property manager. Will not use this one again because I want one that is helpful, attainable and wants to assist in helping my family have an unforgettable vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was clean, nice and updated for the most part (a VERY stiff, uncomfortable couch in den though). There were enough seating options in the living space with the dining table, a couch, a loveseat and two chairs. The beds were comfortable. I loved the amount of counter space in the bathroom. However, the drawback to this unit came from the elevator not working the entire time we were there, although at check in we were told it would be working the next day most likely. This became a massive issue on Sunday when we were trying to leave. It took over 30 min to get an elevator to go down with our luggage cart— and being on the 7th floor, that really was are only option. Obviously- life happens and things break, but it was a miserable way to end a trip.

OVERALL VERY GOOD. BUT HAD A VERY BAD EXPERINCE WITH SUNSHINE WATER SPORTS FOR WHICH YOU PROVIDED A 20% DISCOUNT FOR A PONTOON RENTAL. THE DISCOUNT I WAS GIVEN WAS FOR $25 VERSUS THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF $50. WHEN I CALLED SUNSHINE TO COMPLAIN, THE GUY I TALKED WITH WAS VERY CURT AND SIAD HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THE ISLANDER 20% DISCOUNT. NOT A LOT OF MONEY-BUT I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. YOUR MANANGEMENT NEEDS TO TALK WITH THEIR MANGEMENT TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION.

Always love staying at The Islander! The lifeguard is AMAZING and always so helpful helping us getting our disabled child on the beach. My only complaint is the quality of the bedding for the pullout bed in our condo this year. Very scratchy and uncomfortable. My teen son was disappointed that the basketball hoop was broken, but the property was clean and the staff always friendly.

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your feedback. I'll let the owner know about the sleeper sofa. The basketball hoop is scheduled to be repaired soon. We do have permission for our guests to use the court at Jetty East while ours is down. We hope to see you again next year!
