Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
For the price paid, we were expecting more. It had the necessities but considering the premium price, more was expected. Beds were ok but not extra comfortable. Pillows were awful - big blocks of hard foam, and the "starter kit" was a joke. A few packs of salt and pepper, and one each dishwashing and clothes washing machine packages of powder. Then we were supposed to start the dishwasher when we left. I wonder how many people start it without dish detergent! There was a stack of DVDs and a bunch of books that we didn't look at. If the cost was half what we paid, it would be a good deal even if we had to supply our own salt and pepper, which we did, but why be so skimpy on necessities like dish detergent?

This was the perfect condo for the three of us! We stayed at Islander 5006 the week after Christmas and loved it. The complex is easy to get to, has beautiful views, and is in a great location. The condo had everything we needed. Even though the unit is right off the elevator, we never heard any extra noise. Can't wait to stay here again!

The entire 7 days we were there showed us rain, mist, fog and clouds..and for a couple days could not differentiate fog from sand and ocean. We still enjoyed the condo itself because we happened to be the parents of the previous owners so it was like old times. We appreciated the newly painted walls and added furniture.

We stayed at Islander 5006 for 14 nights. Condos layout is great with 2 king beds. Deck is massive and we felt we were in the middle of activities. Condo is beautifully decorated and furniture is comfortable, had everything we needed and wanted. Ice maker wasn’t working when we arrived, Mike from maintenance was diligent about getting it fixed, it was eventually replaced, maintenance was very attentive. Beach and heated pool are great. Would definitely stay there again.

Renting a condo with Brooks and Shorey Resorts was extremely easy and effortless. Their staff was super helpful with booking and information and they kept me up to date on all the info I needed for our stay. We loved the Islander and will definitely go back. The condos had everything we needed, bedding, kitchen fully stocked, 2 coffee pots, air fryer, etc. Checked in early with a courteous phone call for all 3 units. Checkout was easy as well. Definitely keep them for future rentals!

Islander 5006 is amazingly beautiful. We have stay at Islander in the past but this is our first time in 5006. They had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable and even the pull out couch had a nice mattress for our grandkids to sleep on. Working with Brooks and Shorey Resorts was a nice experience, anytime I called and spoke with someone they were very professional and nice. We even got our text that we could enter the condo an hour early. When we return to Fort Walton we will definitely be staying at Islander 5006 ♥️

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was clean and updated. However there was a jackhammer running from 9-5 which was very disturbing. We were notified 5 days prior to arrival of repairs approved by the HOA before our arrival. This left is no time to make other arrangements. I could smell chemical fumes while I was trying to enjoy the pool that was hampering a health condition. Shame on the HOA for allowing this to happen during peak vacation travel and shame on the property management company for acting surprised! Never again would I use either one. The wedding party was highe and the other guests complained and felt the same way.

Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear you enjoyed unit 5006! As far as the construction, we cannot apologize enough. As soon as we got word from the HOA, we let our incoming guests know. We hope you understand this project is out of our control and we are sincerely sorry it affected your stay with us.
