Awesome condo, great views, steps from the beach.
We love the Islander when staying in the Okaloosa Island/Destin area. This condo was well equipped and had nice views. The beach and chairs are great and the water is lovely. Only con is that these condos are expensive.

Perfect Location!
The building and units are at a prime location- right on the beach! Everything was perfect, with the exception of the pool not being heated… we stayed in March, and I'm sure that a few weeks later the pool would have warmed up to an optimal temperature.

The Islander 2012 was great for our family vacation. Not one to usually brag on stairs access but there was set of stairs that the access was right beside our room. The balcony was great especially for our 2 year old. She had plenty of room to play while we were enjoying the beautiful ocean views. Something that I did like about there that the 1st floor of rooms was the second floor. The bottom floor that would usually be blocked by the dunes was used for owner parking.

My family and I just recently rented unit 2012 for a week. The unit was very clean and up to date. On several occasions I observed employees working and cleaning the exterior of the location. The employees were very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely stay there again and would recommend it .
Condo is large with amazing ocean view and easy access to pool and ocean. The rental company is not flexible with check in time 4 pm and check out time 10 am even if no one is there before and after you which for me is frustrating.

Million Dollar View
The unit was nicely furnished, clean and had a million dollar view. The unit directly faces the gulf, and we had direct views from the living room, kitchen and master bedroom. Everything you need is within a short drive. We did takeout a few nights and also used the park grills so that we could enjoy as much beach / pool time as possible.

Our stay at islander beach resort condo 201w
This was our 6th year in a row staying here. And health permitting we'll be back next year. This year with the record cold weather and snow fall would be tough to compare to other years. But as usual the response from Sunset rentals was great. If an issue arose they were here right away to take care of it. We will continue to rent through them.
John
The door had no inside locks on bathrooms or door going outside . If you have small ones that can open doors this is not for you.
When we arrived there was already sand in beds and on floor we had to clean the place.
I had to spend the first day cleaning and picking up cigars off back porch! This place was nasty we had to get sand out of beds day 1 before we went to beach!!!! Windows were messed up could not see out of sliding goass door . Made maagement aware of issues they did nothing to fix in!!!

Islander Beach Resort Unit 2012
My husband and I along with my daughter, son-in-law, and there 3 boys stayed a week at Unit 2012 at Islander Beach Resort May 7-13. We enjoyed our stay. It was right on the beach with an absolutely beautiful view. The condo was large and very nice. We enjoyed our week there. It was very close to the pool and the walkway to the beach, which was great. My only complaint is the kitchen utensils were a little lacking. We had to go out and purchase a few items to be able to prepare our meals. The blender didn’t work, there was not a peeler in the unit, the corkscrew was very difficult to use, there wasn’t a muffin pan, and the vegetable shredder was very flimsy and was difficult to use. The sofa was a very pretty piece of furniture, but was very hard to sit on as the seat part slanted down and the back was very uncomfortable, so we ended up sitting in the floor instead of on the sofa. There were two very comfortable recliners that were great. Overall the unit was great and we would rent it again.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 July 2023
Hi Carole, thank you so much for your stay and for your review. We value you as a customer and we want your vacation to be as enjoyable as possible. It is difficult for us to know how well some utensils will work, and it is inevitable that kitchen inventory may deplete as the property is used. We apologize, as we may not always notice when an item is missing. We are, however, more than happy to deliver replacement items as you notice the need. A phone call or service request via your guest app is all it would take to have items delivered the same day in most cases. We encourage our guests to take advantage of our friendly 24/7 customer service.
The sofa is a new commercial grade sleeper. Most residential sleeper sofas tend to sink in the middle with little to no support for sitting. However, commercial grade sleeper sofas will tend to be more supportive and firm when sitting. We do understand your concern and appreciate your feedback.
Thank you again for your stay, and we hope to see you again for your next vacation.
View was amazing, location was great. Everything was comfortable. Does need a few updates but overall great time.

We love this place!
We have stayed at this unit our last two vacations and we'll never stay anywhere else for beach vacations. It's well kept and so close to the beach. Every staff member we've run across has been kind and friendly. Check in and check out is easy. The area is not as crowded as Destin and did I mention it's so close to the beach!
The location is perfect with a wonderful view. The condo was very clean with everything you may need. Location is on the strip very close to plenty of things to do for the kiddos.

First Stay at the Islander Beach Resort. Excellent Unit 2012
Unit 2012 was EXCELLENT,cleanest,largest with best laundry room we have ever seen. Easy access to the beach, pool or parking. The bed and furnishings were well done and very comfortable. The view was awesome and quiet. Highly recommend 2012. Would have given The Islander an "excellent review" but the staff could have been friendlier. The balcony furniture was nice, but the seating was low, only negative. Higher seating would allow a much better view of the beach. Pool was large with 2 shallow ends and well taken care of. During our visit they were building new beach access which wasn't a problem since the public beach access was right next door and easy access. Improvements are needed and appreciated.
