Family vacation

We enjoyed our vacation at the Islander. Check in was easy but we were told we could check in sooner and we were made to wait until almost 4. That was a little irritating. Also, the room could have been much cleaner! Beautiful view and well decorated room. Would come back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our Islander rental experience. Great location with beautiful views of the Gulf! The condo was clean and updated with a tasteful beach-y vibe. We really liked being on the far end of the Islander away from the central hub. We could take the stairs right outside our door down to the path to the beach without having to go through lobby and pool area. We plan to rent same unit again next year!

Cozy Condo

This was a pleasant surprise. The walk to the beach was such a short distance. The guy that worked the beach was the most pleasant beach attendant we have ever met. He was amazing and very attentive with a great attitude. The condo was clean and the furniture was very nice. My only suggestion-it needs some type of blackout curtains for the bedrooms. Other than that, it was awesome. BONUS-this condo has its own washer and dryer in master. Very satisfied ❤️

Reviewer Comments: We love The Islander and have stayed many times in different units. 401 needs updating from cheap furniture & old linens to the bathrooms and kitchen cabinets. Unit should be a bronze, not Platinum. We will choose a different unit next time. I would give the unit a 3 rating, while The Islander gets a 5 star!

1st time at Islander and will never return . 106, 406, 706 units

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrive to check in to condo #106. When entering, there were 2 humidifiers blowing hot air and the room temperature was 78. We called the front desk who told us the air conditioner was out and that maintenance was coming “some time” today. I called back to speak to manager. I asked why we were not told prior to arriving or when we checked in. Cindy then told me: “I told them to tell yall before, I knew they should have” About an hour later, a manger (Raquel)called and said the unit air conditioner can not be fixed and that we would have to move to 406 but then will have to leave that unit Thursday morning to another unit. Very disappointed in the dishonesty and the lack of integrity from management. We missed dinner reservations 1st night and lost beach time with family moving units twice. One manger offered full refund, the other partial. We still had to pay for resort and cleaning fees. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

I tried to speak to someone at check in as well. The “manager” was not available and I was told the manager will call me.... No phone call. I ONLY stayed at this location b/c I love the beach area!
