Amazing view

The view is amazing! We were able to watch dolphins play in the gulf while we enjoyed our coffee. The proximity to the beach and the two heated pools onsite were great, too. The reception desk staff at The Islander were friendly and helpful. The decor is a little dated and there was a musty smell to the unit but other than that it was clean and had everything we needed.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The view and the location you're not standing. The check-in process was easy as well as the checking out process. Whoever, it was very clear that the carpet had not been cleaned in a very long time. They were stains everywhere. We flew in and there was nothing in the kitchen that enable us to see who. There was not one plastic baggie, I'm not an oil, Saran wrap or any container. There was not a working canopler. There wasn't even a salt or pepper shaker. While me over all Facebook clean it was very clear that it hadn't been updated in a while and while we really appreciated the view and the location to the beach when we return to Destin again we won't be staying in this condo.

We had no complaints after staying here and if we ever need to stay somewhere other than my aunts we will definitely consider the islander first. Next time we will try to stay closer to elevator so the walk is a little shorter. Enjoyed the ocean view at all times of day.

Had a great view of the beach and gulf waters. This the 4th time we have stayed in this unit and will probably do so on our next visit. It is starting to show its age though. The carpet could use a good cleaning. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Destin Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We come to the Islander with a large group, its alot of fun and the beach is fantastic. The condo was fine, its a little dated and the carpet really needs to be replaced with sometype of hard flooring. The elevators were concerning, they kept breaking down and dropping a few inches here and there. My kids were afraid they were going to get stuck in them, so we took the stairs most of the time. All in all a great time, but a few things resort should work on.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 August 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for making the Islander part of your group’s beach tradition—we’re so glad you had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic beach! We appreciate your comments about the condo’s flooring and will share that suggestion with the owner. We also understand your concern about the elevators and are sorry this caused any worry during your stay. Our maintenance team works to address any issues promptly, and your feedback helps us ensure guest safety and comfort. We’re happy to hear that, overall, you had a fun visit, and we hope to welcome you and your group back for another memorable trip.

Destin vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 were pleasantly surprised by the property. Everything was clean and well kept. Proximity to the beach was great. The unit was quiet and had a great view of the ocean as you walk into the living area. We tend to cook for ourselves while on vacation so I may be a little critical of the items needed to cook easily. The unit could use a few more frying pans and small cereal bowls. We had a little trouble initially operating the dishwasher since there was not an owner's manual that we could find in the stack of other manuals in the kitchen. Overall we loved the rental and would stay again. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

No me volvería a quedar en esta unidad ( todo viejo )

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

Reviewer Comments: Estoy muy descontento de las condiciones del departamento , puertas de closet rotas , puertas desconchadas de los dormitorios y base de los colchones sucios. Tampoco es conveniente que un departamento de playa tenga alfombra , incluso las sábanas que proporcionó estaban rotas y muy viejas al igual que las camas la verdad en esta unidad no me volvería a quedar , y tan fácil que sería remodelar las instalaciones ya que en el mismo condominio hay otras instalaciones renovadas y con el mismo precio

4/10 Poor

Could be Better

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy 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 were disappointed by the size of the beach. There were a lot of people crowded into one area. Also, there isn't a rule about fishing, so 2 of the days there was no place to swim in front of our beach due to a few men who had fishing poles set up until 3pm. Setting morning fishing hours would solve this. Also, on the listing it wasn't obvious that our unit didn't have a washer and dryer. No fun spending your vacation time in the shared laundry room. The review for unit 702 stated the beds were horrible back in 2021. We figured that would have been dealt with, but the bed in the master suite was terrible. On the positive side, we really enjoyed the pickleball and tennis courts. The staff was amazing! They were always helpful and easy going. Towel service was a nice amenity too. The location is very nice.
