The Islander is a great place to stay. We love its location and it’s off the main highway so you don’t have to get out into traffic. We use the grills a lot during our stay and this is one of the main reasons we choose The Islander. This year marks the 15th year we’ve stayed at The Islander!

We had a lovely stay at The Islander 517, A cozy retreat, like a dream we’d seen. With comfy beds and decor so bright, And a washer and dryer—a rare delight! Just steps from the beach, and near every store, With pickleball courts that our family adored. Perfectly placed, this gem can’t be beat, We’d love to return for another retreat!

Perfect location
The condo was very clean, had up to date amenities, and the location was perfect! We will definitely stay at the Islander again!
We had a wonderful getaway in unit 517. The location and views were exceptional. We loved having a washer and dryer instead of having to carry laundry to another location. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed for the stay.

First time we had ever stayed anywhere for a month. The condo was beautiful, the location was perfect & the owner was wonderful to deal with. We will for sure be back. We even had to extend our stay by a few days because of weather back home & they helped us do that. This was a great place to stay!!

This was our first vacation in Destin since up till now we were staying in Panama City Beach. This condo here at The Islander was much more spacious and very well-kept compared to what we had experienced until now. We really liked the gated private parking and how the exterior grounds and pool area was kept extremely clean. The staff was also very professional and helpful. We really liked the location of the condo and the beach was not as crowded as we anticipated. I would encourage anyone who is wanting to book a vacation in Destin to check out The Islander because I think you will be very pleased with your stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit was adequate and beds were firm which is different from our experience last year at a nearby unit. I thought the linens could be updated as Sheets in MBR were kind of old as was top cover.There were no directions for the TV which required Kendall from the Islander to assist The MBR shower was too complicated to use (no information provided) and the pressure was not goodWe had to use the other shower and while pressure was better bathtub/shower etc has not been updated
Condo 517 far exceeded my expectations. The view of the sunset each evening out my balcony was exceptional. The master bathroom, laundry options and Kitchen facilities were excellent. My brother and wife were suppose to join me, but illness prevented them from traveling. Other family members stayed in another unit. I am excited about reserving for next year; I will explore this option for the future.

Unit 517 was excellent, as was the whole Islander Resort. The unit was clean and comfortable. It was great having the washer/dryer in the unit to do laundry in the evening without leaving our room. The shower in the master bedroom was very nice. The walk down to the beach was easy and not too far. The staff was pleasant and professional. I like the resort's location being off the main thoroughfare; it seemed to be in a nice and quiet neighborhood.We did have an issue on the first night that was beyond management's control as it was caused by other guests. I only bring this up to brag on the staff who quickly took care of a very difficult situation, and the rest of our stay was without issue. The guests in the neighboring unit were extremely loud and causing a disturbance, but they seemed to be an a-typical guess as the rest of the stay was quiet and peaceful.

Reviewer Comments:
The Unit 517 was not cleaned properly after previous renters. Sheets were not changed, there was sand all over the bed and floor. There was a stain on the bed sheets and missing sheets in second bedroom. There was a dirty wet rag in the shower. Floors had popcorn and hair all over them. There was couple of dirt plates in the cabinet. The ac vents had dust bunnies hanging out of them. I feel like this unit was never cleaned fully. They come in straighten the beds to make it look like it was cleaned and say they cleaned it. On top of all that this is during the pandamic when they are supposed to be doing extra cleaning to help stop the spread of COVID. The Islander is a very nice place, I've stayed there before few years back and did not have any issues at all with my room. The staff was very apologetic and came up to my room right away to bring me new sheets, but I did have to change them myself. The next morning they sent in someone to clean the apartment. The location and privet beach is amazing, I would like to come back and stay here again hopefully they will replace their cleaning crew by then.
