As usual a great vacation experience

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: I rented units 105 & 106 for a family vacation. Everything was great! I have a couple of recommendations.Unit 105- Needs light bulbs replaced in master bath. The filer screen on the kitchen faucet needs replacing.Unit 106- The receptacles on each side on the bed in the master bedroom need fixing or replaced. There are 2 plug ins on each but only 1 works on each.I have been coming to The Islander since 1988. I have had ground floor units several times. In the past it was always customary and out of curtesy that you were aloud to park one vehicle in front of your unit. It is obviously not the case now but it should be reconsidered. But all and all for myself and my family we had a wonderful stay and a great vacation

Not worth the price

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was very basic, no frills for the price. The desk staff was rude. The carpet was dirty as well as the top of door jams. The pillows are flat and you get one.

Unit 105

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: Bathrooms needed updating. Kitchen utensils were lacking. Tv in spare room did not work. Did not feel this condo should be rated platinum. Beach reallllly needs to be enlarged, space was very tight. We still enjoyed our stay and Alan does a great job keeping guest happy on the beach along with the front desk people.
Response from VrboOwner on 9 September 2023
I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Alan on the beach is great!!! Our City and County Commissioners are working very hard to get our beach renourished this fall or spring 2020. I will pass on the unit comments to the owner for their knowledge. We look forward to your return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Having the gate entry code into the property was very helpful as we didn't have to wait for someone to look us up and let us in. The check-in staff was extremely helpful and engaged us in conversation. Wayne was more than accommodating with helpful hints for our stay and provided us with a list of local restaurants. The unit was clean, well located and amply stocked with everything we needed, except, of course, our food. Wonderful experience.

Disappointed with Platinum Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed at this exact same condo two years ago and could not believe how much it had run down. It was definitely not worth the platinum premium. Outlets that were loose from the wall, missing tiles, saggy worn out furniture, beds hard as rocks, cheap pillows, no dish drainer, no dishwasher cleaner, missing utensils, etc. To top it off we asked for a trash bags from the office (only had 2 bags for an 8 day visit) and were treated so badly by office you would have thought we were asking for gold.
