The room was exactly as pictured and fully stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms and bedrooms. Everything that we needed was at the facility. The kids always had something to do from pickleball, basketball, swimming pool and the beach that was in walking distance. The facility is geared towards families. They even have an area with several bbq grills, tables and chairs for visitors to enjoy. As always, no matter had much I planned, we still had to make several runs to the store and thankfully, everything is about 8-10 min drive back to the main strip.We will definitely be back!

We’re so happy to hear this was your fifth stay at the resort and that you enjoyed your first time in this unit. The ground floor access really does make things so much easier with little ones, and we're glad the room had everything you needed — plus a few extras! We truly appreciate your continued loyalty and look forward to welcoming you and your family back again soon.

Great room great destination!

The room was amazing, a longer walk from the beach than we realized. East side is closer to the beach gate. Very close to the pool, so that was a big plus. The bathtub drain and the master sinks did not drain well at all but we didn't mind too much.

We were pleasantly surprised by the amenities and condition of the property and overall friendliness of the staff. We previously had vacationed on Holiday Isle during Spring Break at another establishment however, when their prices almost doubled, we decided it was time to look elsewhere. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely consider staying here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I did like this place and my wife and I had a great time there. When we visit next time though we may drive instead of flying to save money as the room was basically a condo with no groceries and we couldn't take the fish we caught home after our deep sea fishing trip. Overall I would recommend this location and I hope they did not take any damage from the recent hurricane that hit just east of them.

July 2025 stay

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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was in an excellent location from the Destin Executive Airport, our early check in request was available but there condo itself had several none working features. I notified the front desk upon initial inspection of condo that the patio door lock wasn't working properly and didn't get a response until the next day late in afternoon that it should be working. It still wasn't working and maintenance never came and assessed it. We were on first floor and had a baby and needed to feel secure and didn't. Also the beach gate lock wasn't working which would allow anyone to access property and beach. The linens in the condo were in poor condition and several areas in the condo were dusty and looked like they hadn't been cleaned properly including baseboards. Several of the dining room chairs had big stains on them including a very large pink/red stain. A large clock on the wall wasn't working and needed batteries. Also, several outlets didn't have power. The common area by the grills weren't maintained and trash was left on the tables and never picked up.The walls had several areas that were missing paint and needed touched up.
Response from VrboOwner on 31 July 2025
Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback about your stay. We’re glad your early check-in request was accommodated and that the location worked well for you. However, we sincerely apologize for the maintenance and cleanliness issues you experienced. We take concerns about safety, especially with a baby, very seriously. We’re sorry the patio door lock and beach gate lock were not functioning properly during your stay, and we regret that maintenance did not respond promptly. We are addressing this with our team to ensure faster response times and more thorough follow-up going forward. Regarding the cleanliness and condition of the condo, including linens, dusty areas, stained chairs, and non-working outlets or clock, we are very sorry these fell short of your expectations. Due to back-to-back bookings, we unfortunately did not have time to schedule upholstery cleaners for the dining chairs prior to your stay, but this has been prioritized and will be scheduled as soon as possible. We’ve also shared your comments with housekeeping and maintenance so they can improve cleaning standards and attend to repairs and updates immediately. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us enhance the experience for future guests. Please feel free to reach out directly if you would like to discuss this further, as we want to make things right.

A little disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here many times and always look forward to our week of fun in the sun. This year however, it seems that some attention to details have slipped. For example, the landscape lights weren’t working which makes the walk after dark treacherous. Not far outside our sliding door is the valve box for the sprinklers, and it is a pretty deep and wide hole and therefore a hazard waiting to happen.. Another issue were the gates. We’ve always had the luxury of being in a “gated” community which brings along a sense of safety. Our children have been secure when going to the basketball court or playing tennis because you need a code to enter the gate. The gates were propped open for the majority of our vacation, so anyone could enter the resort. Also, in the laundry room, 1 of the 6 washers and 2 of the 6 dryers were out of order. Finally, our welcome email indicated that Bobby D would be performing on Thursday, so we booked our Pontoon rental for Wednesday so we would be at our condo for the live music - which is a highlight for the week for us. Unfortunately, the info was incorrect and Bobby D was preforming on Wednesday evening instead. It may seem like little things, but we’ve always had superior service at The Islander and have made many trips here with a growing number of families from our home state of Michigan. We have made some great memories at The Islander, and I am hoping that things will improve in the near future otherwise I think we will be picking a different place to continue our family spring break vacations!!l

Not quite as nice as the pictures

We arrived and there was food on the living room floor in multiple places, as well as soap/hair/caked sand in showers. It is stated that there are 2 TVs but only one worked. It’s stated there is washer & dryer but it’s not in the unit, you had to use a community laundry place. The air vents looked super dirty as well. It was a super short walk to the beach & had 2 nice pools.

Great getaway

The unit was perfect for what we needed and being on the first floor turned out to be a plus for our toddler to run outside in the yard while we sipped our morning coffee. The unit was well maintained and aside from the floors needing a mop, was very clean! Fully stocked for all our cooking. The pools and beach are both super close and the chair/umbrella service was great. Would love to come back again!
