Wonderful stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay at The Islander. Our accommodations were just what we needed with beautiful Gulf of Mexico views. The white sand beach was amazing and Ian, our beach attendant, was outstanding! Condo in low-key area, but close to restaurants, grocery store and more. Looking forward to coming back!

Family Vacation

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: Perfect space for the entire family. It is hard to find three full bathrooms and a space to have two bunkbeds that aren't crammed into a tiny space. Each room is generous in size, with plenty of chairs for the dining area and the living room. The Islander is our favorite place to visit on Okaloosa Island with a large pool and quieter beach area.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great condo and amenities for our family. Unfortunate construction maintenance taking place during busy season was LOUD and we were on the 5th floor! I can’t imagine what the lower floors dealt with. They should do this on off season. Otherwise, stay was great.

Thank you owners for the new couch - new dishwasher- new washing machine and many new pots and pans for cooking delightful Florida meals. Brooks and Shorey provide great service whenever we need anything. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a pleasant vacation experience.

Springbreak

Beautiful place- everything was great. The unit air conditioning broken, warm inside. Hannah took the phone call and was extremely helpful and very professional. Ac company equally professional ! Unfortunately, we had a sick kid inside and felt a little awkward with having someone in the unit because it did take him all day to fix. I feel like someone should check during cleaning that all that is in working order. Especially since you check in so late on the first day. But honestly- Hannah was fantastic.

Home away from Home- Best Condo EVER

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 condo has the perfect layout and it is so roomy and up-to-date. The ocean view is perfect and can be seen from the living room and kitchen, and the master bedroom which has its own sliding door and balcony entrance. The condo is equipped with everything you need except food and laundry detergent. If you have a long stay you may run out of the the complimentary items such as toilet paper, paper towels, and dish washer detergent but what they provide lasts a while. Another huge plus is the "free" amenities included and to highlight some there is 1 umbrella and 2 chairs daily provided free for each day of your stay, DVD movie rentals, and more.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was exactly as pictured. The view from the balcony was the best. Booking was so fast and easy and the ladies were so easy to talk to. The dishwasher was broken and we didn't realize this until after we had loaded it the night before we were to leave. Beds were comfy as well as the living room and enough room to sit comfortably. Just wish they had offered more beach chairs, floating rafts etc in the unit for guests. We found a small chir that was in the balcony but it has had better days. Overall was a great stay even with Hurricane Hermine

We have enjoyed the last two years at excellent headquartersin the Islander 5003 very much. The property is clean and well maintained. We commend the owner for providing fine new washer and dishwasher and living room couch for convenience and comfort this winter. Brooks and Shorey have been very attentive to our needs while here Jan. Feb. And Mar. We have recommended them to other snowbirds for their great service. We are fortunate for restaurants close by like Stewbys fish house on Santa Rosa and German Wursthaus on Miracle Strip Pky. We love how close we are to First Baptist Church ⛪️ here worshiping with wonderful friends weekly. We are very happy here.
