Love this condo!!

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 perfect for us. We had 2 adult couples on the trip and all the 2 bedrooms I found had a master but the second room was twins or bunk beds. This condo has 2 king beds. Easy parking, easy access to the beach, free beach chairs/umbrella, great pool too. The area is much quieter than Destin. We drove to Destin for shopping at Destin Commons, some activities and night life. I will definitely be staying at this condo again. Management is very courteous and helpful.

Wonderful stay

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 loved our unit. It was clean and well kept. The kitchen has any appliance, pan, or cooking utensil you could possibly need. The view is amazing. When checking in our room we noticed the back door lock was broken off. They had someone look at it right away and he was back the next morning to fix it! Everyone was very nice and efficient. My daughter left her wallet and we didn’t notice until we were too far to turn around. When we asked for them to mail it to us they immediately had the wallet and it was in the mail being sent back to us that afternoon! So thankful for their kindness! We will definitely be back!

Islander 4005

The condo was on Okaloosa Island in a quieter area and had a beautiful view of the sand and water. There were windows in the living areas so you could see the lovely view even if you weren't on the extra wide balcony. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated and nicely appointed. The condo was adequately furnished and the kitchen had plenty of cookware and dishes available. The 2 king size beds were comfortable. The baseboards throughout were dirty though and needed painting. The floor of the closet in the 2nd bedroom was totally full of beach chairs and a ginormous bag of pillows. There was no room on the closet floor for guests things at all such as shoes or suitcases. One of the 2 elevators was broken the entire time and the 2nd elevator broke just as we arrived. We had to carry all of our luggage and groceries up the stairs to the 4th floor. The 2nd elevator was repaired within an hour of our arrival. There was a lot of work being done on our wing of the building and dust was everywhere outside the building especially on the stairs. Sometimes it was hard to breathe in the common areas. In spite of the construction, the condo was fairly quiet when we were inside.

Great stay !

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: Super stay. Enough room, perfect view from balcony, easy walk to beach, wish I would have brought extra chairs they are over priced to rent everyday in my opinion. Not much to do right there for kids, but 15 min. around the corner in Destin there is plenty and it is easy to get to- other than traffic can get a little crazy. I would stay Gina in a heart beat though !!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great place! Well equipped condo with lots of space and storage. Only thing that should be replaced is the sofa bed. It was awful. Had to put the mattress on the floor. On July 4, the umbrellas around the pool should have been up. Even after we asked the desk, mid to late morning they said the pool maintenance people had left early. That wasn’t acceptable poor management.

Islander 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: AWESOME. We have been coming to the Islander for many years and we have rented many Condos in the building and have never been disappointed. Our recent stay was great. The Condo was clean, comfortable and exactly what I expected. I loved the rocking chairs on the balcony. Our coffee maker was not working so I called and a new one was brought right away. Love the Islander resort, the view is second to none. Always visit McGuires Irish, The Donut Shop and Back Porch Restaurants in Destin. But always stay on Okaloosa Island at the Islander. Will be back again next year.

Great vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at The Islander was great! Our room was clean and beautiful. The view from the balcony was great. We enjoyed the patio furniture. It was clean and comfortable, just like home. The beds were comfy and perfect for our family of 5, two adults and three young kids. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the appliances and cookware we needed. Our only complaint is with the dryer. It seemed old. It was noisy and left rust stains on a few items. Overall our stay was wonderful! We will definitely book with Brooks and Shorey again.

Lovely place but a few things missing

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 enjoyed our stay at The Islander 4005. The furniture is modern and comfortable and I found all the grounds people at the condo hardworking and friendly. At bedtime, the day we arrived, we discovered there were no blankets for the foldout bed and not enough blankets for the other rooms. We called the after hours number and a lovely employee helped us resolve the issue with some effort on her behalf. We appreciated her going the extra mile as well as her courteous manner. I’ve booked through Brooks and Shorey for years and highly recommend them.

Great Vacation!

The condo was perfectly located on the beach with a nice sized balcony to see it on. We saw a dolphin and sting rays from the balcony. The condo had everything we needed and I love the calm colors and all the space. The beach chair and umbrella service was super nice and convenient. We used one of the complimentary passes to do the sunset dolphin cruise on the Catteywampas and that was amazing! I love that there is an app to use for the property, so it was easy to refer to information and to check out. This area has restaurants close by (Stewbys and Old Bay Steamers was delicious!) and Destin is the perfect distance where you are away from the business but close enough to get to for fun. Definitely want to stay here again! Only suggestion would be to get a new mattress in the master bedroom, it was not comfortable, but the other bedroom mattress was great!

Bedrooms

We had a great time. Place was in excellent location. Very clean. We only had an issue with bedrooms. No blankets on the beds or anywhere in the place so we were very uncomfortable at night as we were cold. Pillows no good either and bed in second bedroom very uncomfortable.But other than that everything was great.

Enjoyed Our Visit!

We very much enjoyed our stay in 4005! The property was everything we needed - great views, great location, loved the size of the balcony and not too many people. The property provided the necessities outside of beach towels (as indicated in the rental agreement). The only deduction we made was because there was still sand on the floor when we got there, so we had to do a little sweeping to walk barefoot immediately upon our arrival.
