Reviewer Comments: This is year #6 for us at The Islander! Amazing staff, great property, super clean, quiet and safe! This was our first time in unit 717 and it was great! Very clean and tastefully decorated, I loved that they had a closet with beach toys- we even left the ones we purchased so the next guests could use them too! The only thing I didn’t love about our stay is the elevator was broke multiple times throughout our stay and the new bracelet wrist bands are terrible and not reliable at all, we were locked out of our unit multiple times. Other than those two things though we had a great stay and no complaints at all! We will continue to come back year after year! ##### Krista F.

We had everything we needed and we were close enough to all the restaurants and stores. We had a great stay and will definitely be back! ##### A guest from Plainfield, IN Verified ### 8/10 Good #### David Y. 23 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great clean beach Great condo! My only complaint was the communication. The never return messages set through VRBO. They did return phone calls. With al that I will be staying here again in the future.

Reviewer Comments: My wife and I had a great time at the Islander Resort. The Condo was very nice, with everything we needed for our stay. We loved walking to the beach everyday, then sitting in the jacuzzi tub at the resort, before going back to our unit, and seeing the sunset almost every evening !! The view was great from our unit, looking out over the nearby lake, and harbor inlet to watch the boats go in and out, plus the sunsets on the gulf were priceless. We are definitely coming back again in the future !! ##### Matthew S.

Convenient to grocery and restaurants. We utilized the Islander VIP discounts at area merchants. Never had to wait long for an elevator and the facility was full. Parking lot was also easy and close to where we wanted to be in relation to our condo. Views of ocean and beach area were just as promised. We definitely will recommend and return to this resort. ##### Lisa S.

Reviewer Comments: We reluctantly stayed again this year after a 2 year hiatus. I swore last time I’d never come back. There was a new staff which was one this year. Both elevators were working. (Last 2 stays there they were not) The front desk staff was helpful and eager to please . Thankful you got this all straightened out. ##### Heather M.

Reviewer Comments: We wanted to stay an extra night...WOW...the price went up on holiday weekend...ouch...UNTIL we saw THE VIEW from 717\. Oh My! We now want 717 every visit. One problem... The chairs did not rock and swivel on the patio. That is what this old person wanted. BUT...did I mention THE VIEW? ##### John C.

Reviewer Comments: The Islander is a wonderful place to enjoy the Destin area and the beach. Only one thing which would stop me from staying in Room 717 next time. If you Love a HARD bed, this is where you want to go to sleep. As for me, I toughed it out. My wife slept on the couch for 9 nights. Loved 717 other than that. I hope they install something to make it softer. We will be back. If I knew the bed was softer, I would book our next 9 nights in 717 right now! Beautiful view! Oh yeah, and a couple of those patio chairs which rock and swivel would be nice. Some have those and some do not. 717 does not! Overall, the Islander is The Best place to stay! ##### John C. ---
