This is our second time staying at the Islander. The staff has always been very nice and helpful. Our rooms have always been clean and I love that we are just a few steps to the beach. It is family friendly and the Islander always has fun activities for our kids to participate in. We will definitely be back soon and I recommend anyone booking their stay with the Islander.

Our stay in this condo was wonderful. The only area that needs attention in this rental are the beds. They need an upgrade for sure. Rental was very clean upon arrival. Comfortable and spacious enough for 3 adults and 2 children for one week. This rental is right next to the stairs which is convenient. We had a great time and as always the Islander is amazing!

We love this unit! It was clean upon arrival. The unit was supplied with everything we needed for cooking. We loved the convenience to the stairs that we used instead of the elevators. The beds were good. Nothing really to complain about because the unit is so nice for the price. The unit was nicely decorated with beach theme. The couches were comfortable. If we stay at The Islander again I would definitely stay in this unit again! The staff was very nice! I would like to thank the owners and the staff for their hospitality!

The condo was a perfect fit for my family!!! We’ve stayed at Fort Walton many times before but this was our first stay at Destin and we couldn’t be happier! Short min walk to the beach, took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs, pool was great, the bbq pavilion was a plus and loved that we get 2 vehicle pass! The condo had everything we needed and it was spacious!!! Will definitely stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
I was very disappointed about the beach situation. They were working on it which limited the space for the people at the islander to use and then the 6 feet distancing was a problem. I talked to someone at the front desk and he said he was surprised that they were doing it since they have been closed for so long. We should have been told of this or given a discount at the least. We had to go down 3 condos before we could find a place to sit comfortably. We have stayed at the Islander for years and this was so upsetting to our family.

We stayed in room 202 at the Islander. The bed was absolutely horrible. You sunk into the lumpy bed causing excruciating back pain. My husband ended up sleeping on the couch the night before we left. We left a day early as we could not take the bed another night. The overall place is nice with friendly staff. Room 202 needs to invest in a new mattress if they want people to be happy.

Not correct room or floor and no one bothered to call. Next day we did get in correct room. Room needs to be updated a little the carpet and room felt damp the whole time. We love the islander and have been there many times. This time the pools were very hot and the beach was way to small for the amount of people. We went down one night to walk the beach and we felt like it was spring break. There was about 200 kids between the ages of 16-19 . I did not want to be on spring break I was there with my adult family. I feel someone should have broke up the crowd that was also coming from other condos. Will not be back ever over 4th of July. Would like to give it Another shot but at a different time. Not a great experience this time
