Excellent beach getaway

This place is great. Layout so much better than other places we’ve stayed at. If we had brought kids the bedroom and bathrooms are separate so everyone can have their own space. Love the huge patio and it’s furniture. Great high seats so you can see the ocean instead of a railing.

This condo was nice the only thing I think could have been Better is the two chairs in living Rome could be updated. It was big and A lot of space. The women that was in the condo under us was rude but with didn't let her bother us.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us! The owner is remodeling this unit in the Fall and will be expanding the kitchen and upgrading some furniture. I apologize for the ladies downstairs being rude to you and we have referred this to the owner and the Home Owners Association. We hope that you will stay with us again next year!

A stay at the Islander is always a treat

Pros: large deck facing the gulf, with a large table and a lounge chair; check in process easy; responsive rental agents, great staff and owner/guests. Cons: the place was dirty. The carpet was crusty In the king bedroom, and the rug in the entry was was spotted. The agent volunteered possibly getting a cleaning service for the rugs during our stay, but we refused as we were staying only 10 days. We bought our own cleaning products for the Bathrooms.

Pleasantly surprised.I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’d never stayed to this area before. I looked at Destin, Pensacola, Panama Beach, and couldn’t find a spot that suited my needs. I started focusing on this area after looking at Google Earth pics and reading reviews. I’m glad I chose this spot and greatly appreciate the condo itself. It was very spacious. I had 6 people, including 4 kids from 5 to 13. There was plenty of space for everyone. The condo was very clean and had everyone we needed. The owners and hosts have set the bar high with this location, property, and condo.

Amazing!!!

Loved the huge space, the patio, the kitchen, big bedrooms.... all of it!!! Having the grills downstairs was so great, as was all of the extra's in the condo itself that aren't mentioned; such as the floor fans for those of us that love white noise, books to read on the beach, DVD's to watch and the blue tooth stereo!! Y'all, don't pack sand buckets and boogie boards, it's already there! Not to mention, the chair and umbrella service, which is fantastic!!!! All you need to pack is clothes and buy your food, this condo is 100% equipped. I literally can't say enough wonderful things about our stay. Can't wait to come back next summer! We love #501!!!!!!!!

The next best thing to home.

Spent the Christmas weekend here with my family. This unit lacked ab-so-lute-ly nothing. It was well furnished from the kitchen to the bedrooms; spacious, clean, upkept with an amazing view of the beach right from the huge balcony. Only thing we needed to buy during our stay here was food and spirits! Very close to grocery stores and restaurants; 10 minutes away from the HarborWalk Village in Destin. I loved the feel of the kitchen and the new appliances. I cooked breakfast for the family every morning and the cabinets were well stocked with cookware, utensils, bowls and etc. We enjoyed eating at the dining room table while enjoying the best beach view ever! It truly felt like we were in the comfort of our own home and we hated to leave. I look forward to staying here again.

Islander Unit 501 is a nice place to stay.

Unit 501 has 2 bedrooms on opposite sides of the unit. The dining and living area is the width of the unit and has glass sliders facing the gulf. The unit is comfortable. However, the kitchen is very small and honestly, 2 people cannot work in it without bumping into each other. If cooking/food prep is your thing/assignment then you might want to consider a unit with a larger kitchen. Several of the utinsils and pans need replacement. Paper towel and TP quality is very very poor. But overall, the unit is comfortable and easy.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! The views from this unit are incredible. Actually the owner of this unit just remodeled the kitchen a couple of years ago and we really haven't had any complaints. I appreciate your input, we will check out the utensils and pans and see if any need to be replaced. We put the paper towels and toilet paper in the unit for your convenience, so you don't have to go to the grocery store before going to your unit. We hope you will stay with us again, we do have other units that have a larger kitchen as you prefer. Our returning guest do receive a 10% discount on any additional stays!

Great Condo & Beach

We stay at the Islander one or two times a year. This is 4th condo we have stayed in. Pro's: super clean, beds comfortable, comfortable furniture, easy layout, Great attention to details - lots of "extras", Nice Decor, full walls of windows towards ocean, sliding doors worked easily, Awesome view of sunsets which is not in all the condos, fast response from managing company when we had a question. Cons: kitchen super tight - hard to maneuver, not a surplus of kitchen utensils (if need more than one spatula - bring extras), sofa too short so you will need to open into bed to use -I am 5'4", need TV instructions printed - never could get dvd player to work, super tight hallway to get into doors - mattered when we were trying to unload cart. NEEDS a way to safety latch the 2 doors Please!! The cons are just so you can plan - not a reason to not come. This was a terrific condo and ALL 5 very picky women agreed:).

Can't wait to go back!

This was our second time to visit this condo unit. We fell in love the first time and it's even better now with the updated kitchen and appliances. We love this unit because it's very clean and roomy for a family of four. Washer/dryer are a huge plus when you have kids! Beds are always super comfy and clean with beautiful bedcovers and lots of pillows. The balcony is heavenly right over the beach. It rained and it was very cold the first of the week which was a real bummer but we made the best of it. Just made us want to book again for the summer time so we can actually play in the crystal clear water. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you can think of except grilling utensils. We found a short pair of tongs but a grill set would really come in handy. The couch could use an update but my kids actually love the swivel chairs! lol Condo is a little further down the road from everything else but that's exactly why we love it. You can tell the owners genuinely care about the unit because they take such good care of it! We can't wait to book our next trip!!!!
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar 2020
We are so glad you enjoyed your 2nd stay at this unit! The renovations really made the unit gorgeous and the views from the balcony are incredible. The owner has already talked about replacing the sofa and I'm sure that this will happen soon. I will check to see about getting grilling tools for this unit. We hope to see you again either this Summer or next year!
