Hello Javier, Thanks for taking time to write this review. We hope to see you again. The Islander
The property was very clean and the room was perfect for our family! The double rooms with bunk beds & Queen bed was the best fit for our boys. The 2 bathrooms were exceptional too, and it gave us plenty of room for our crew.
The master suite with a memorable view of the beach was amazing. The pictures of the property were absolutely correct with the updated renovations. My favorite part was the walk in shower.

Enjoyed our week at the beach. Nice place to stay. Easy walk to the beach. Nice HEATED POOLS for late day/night swimming. Only issue my family had was that the hot tubs were WAY to hot. Overall would go back without a doubt and are next year.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 April 2020
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your week so well. Our heated pools are just one of our great attributes. The hot tubs are set at a temp that a majority of our guests prefer. Perhaps the West pool area would be more beneficial to your family next time, as it is cooler.

We had a great time during our stay. The condo itself was beautiful, with pretty furniture. Short walk to the beach, very family friendly. Loved that two chairs and an umbrella were reserved everyday for you. The front desk staff were short staffed, so there weren't many kids activities, but Kendall was so nice and helpful. Will definitely be back!

However, we are glad that you enjoyed the location of the unit being that it's very convenient for most guests to get to the beach and pools. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over elevator maintenance issues but you can be sure that we have been working very hard to get this issue resolved.

We rented Unit 409 and the view is gorgeous. It is the first unit off the elevator, making it convenient. The owners were in the middle of some upgrades, but that did not affect our stay at all. I ran down early on the towel exchange day (Tuesday) and the door was still closed, a staff member, who had not even punched in yet for her shift and quickly set her stuff down, said “please let me help you” and exchanged my towels. Again I was 15 mins early and expected to wait. The staff is friendly and property was clean. The man in charge of the pool area takes great pride in his work. The carts make unloading and loading a breeze.

We had a very nice view of the beautiful ocean. The unit itself needs many updates. The couches and beds need to be replaced. The mattresses are old and uncomfortable and the pillows need to be replaced as they were very worn. The couches are very old, dirty and smelly. The carpet in the bedroom is very old and dirty. The outlets need replacing and the balcony furniture is very old and uncomfortable. This would be a very nice unit if the above issues were addressed. The Islander is in a very nice location. Until the issues of this unit are addressed, I don't recommend staying here.

Upen arrival, our room was not ready, so we enjoyed the beach and pool. The overall upkeep of the place was good. I watched a man every morning cleaning the pool area (spraying it off, raking the sand area, scooping out BBQ pits) and witnessed them cleaning the elevators and common areas multiple times. The workers were all very friendly and courteous. I liked how two chairs and an umbrella were included with our stay and Allen was always offering to help lug things on and off the beach. This place is very conveniently located to many grocery stores and restaurants. The condo we chose was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Everything was in working order. I was surprised to see that there was no washer and dryer in the unit, but it was a short walk to the washateria area and that was very clean and well kept. The only thing I didn’t like was the carpet in the master bedroom. It felt a little old, but other than that the condo was spacious and we really enjoyed our time here.

We have stayed at The Islander for the past 6 or 7 years with my sister and brother in law and love it! We have also stayed in 409 several of those but this time there were several things they were not up to standard. I mentioned them when we checked out. We had to ask for a towel bar in guest bath. Pantry door comes off hinges. Blinds in mast bedroom don’t all work. Also, we called when my sister snd I got to town snd was told room wasn’t ready but we would be called and we were not. Finally at about 4:30 I think, we called and there was no note to call us. We had to unload in a monsoon rain storm!

We thorougly enjoyed our stay at the Islander. The room itself could have used a little updating but overall our stay was fantastic. From the first moment of Maggie, at the front desk with her cordial welcoming throughout our stay to Alan, the guy who had our umbrellas out by 7:30 and continually asked if we needed anything when we were out by the beach. His job was hot and hard in that hot sun.

We LOVE coming to The Islander. Landscaping is always beautiful, views are exceptional. Unit 409 needed some TLC. Master bath sink drains did not drain, guest bathroom cabinet has waterrot at bottom on toilet side, the kitchen faucet was loose.

The facility was nice and clean.
I thought the upholstered furniture was a little dingy. The bedspreads could have been nicer - they seemed a little worn and faded but appeared clean and smelled clean. We had everything we needed for the kitchen and bathrooms and bedrooms as far as appliances, dishes, cookware, etc The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The laundry rooms were nice and clean.
The pools are nice. The activities each day were an enjoyable expected surprise for our you g daughter (crafts, airbrush tattoos, live music)
We were very happy with our stay and the area.
Some areas could be cleaned better (vents in the twin bedroom) but other than that everything was perfect! Spacious, comfortable beds, easy beach access!
