Amazing Vacation

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 stay at The Islander each year and are never disappointed. This condo was beautiful and had all the necessary amenities. The Islander itself is a great and clean complex. There are also many activities for the kids. The location of the Islander is amazing, as well. We love being able to access the jetties and being near the harbor (especially for boats and fireworks). Holiday Isle is a bit more relaxed and a little less packed. We plan to come back and would happily stay in this unit again.

Perfect Family Vacation

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: This condo was the perfect space for our family of 5 to spend a week over Spring Break. The property is conveniently located close to shopping and restaurants and the beach view from the balcony are spectacular! The beds were very comfortable! The tables and dresser tops are protected by glass. The kitchen is well stocked with everything one could need. Beautifully decorated beach theme. The sleeper sofa mattress wasn't very supportive but my adult son was able to sleep comfortably on the sofa without pulling it out. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely perfect!

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 absolutely loved our first stay at the Islander. Unit 503 had the best views, updated and cute decor, and a nicely stocked kitchen. The grounds were in such great shape. The front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. Alan the chair guy was great! We loved having complimentary chairs every day! Work was being done on the outside of the building but the management was great at providing updates and it wasn’t an issue at all. We really enjoyed the pickleball courts too! This resort was conveniently located to everything we needed also! We will definitely be back! If I had to say one are for improvement I would say maybe to swap out the chair in the living room for a small loveseat or oversized chair. We didn’t have a lot of room when we all watched tv at night. We had the best trip and made some great memories!

A good time was had by all!

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: Overall, our experience was very enjoyable! The condo was clean, the kitchen amenities were exceptional, beautiful view, and Wifi was fine. However the TV reception was non existent. After informing the desk, a staff member arrived promptly and the cable box was replaced. that was unsuccessful and the following day I was given a new remote which also did not work. The following day an employee of the cable company arrived and the cable reception was functional for two days and abruptly quit working again. the only other inconvenience was no washer/dryer but I knew that going in.

Overall the place is nice but when we arrived there were dirty dishes that were put with the clean ones. As for the picture showing the tennis courts in the back don’t belong to this property . Wish in the picture they outlined what was apart of the property. Basically everyone in the back is part of another property. Def need to double check behind there house keeping . Other than that the staff was great.
