Unit was absolutely perfect except for a prominent musty/moldy smell but that may not be the owners fault! It may have been coming from the vents. Otherwise perfect.

This property is right on the beach with a great balcony view. Only complaints are master bedroom bed had very hard mattress and living room TV did not have an HDMI input. Would absolutely stay here again.

Ready to go back

Our stay wasn’t long enough, ready to go back, and I would look into staying here again. Love that the complex isn’t massive en in size, so people aren’t on top of each other. The 2 bedrooms fit our family wonderfully. We did use the washer on 2nd level and that wasn’t an issue. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife has been going there since she was a kid. This unit was good overall. Suggestions for improvement would be new mattresses especially the king bed, dvd players that actually work, and a rug for living room. The tile only in living area can get slick with sand.

The beds are quite comfortable. The sectional sofa, though it looks good needs to be replaced. I hope the owners will replace it. Other then that we have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The unit was very clean as well as the grounds and common spaces.

Summer tradition!

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: We have stayed at the Islander for the last 3 years and we love it. Every year has been a different unit. 506 was perfect for our trip - 3 teenage girls and 2 adults. Always a great vacation and this property hasn’t let us down. The only issue is the elevators- one was down and when it was working we decided not to take it due to the function not at 100%. They had work being done on it but I’m sure the high use in this climate makes it hard. Again, overall great stay.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was good! The location was great. The staff was super friendly!! The unit was clean. The kitchen lacked many amenities and the selection of pots, pans and utensils. I had a hard time making food in the unit with what was there. That was a challenge. And no simple dry goods like salt and pepper? Or garbage bags? I had to buy everything then dispose of it after only using a few... super wasteful!!!!
