We have stayed at The Islander many times before, and this condo in particular has been our favorite… it was nicely decorated and very clean. You’re close to the stairs and garbage chute. It’s a quick walk down to the beach or the pool.

The service is great at the Islander; maintenance / housekeeping / administration was always available and friendly. The location is perfect, 2nd floor staring at the ocean, short walk to a private boardwalk to the beach. They're remodeling the complex so it has a fresh coat of paint and new signage, but the update is still going on as of mid-March 2025\. There's plenty of parking and easy access to the town for eating / shopping / etc. The condo is clean but dated (could probably use a fresh coat of paint on the inside). You have everything you need to cook in the kitchen, fridge is a good size, but some of the racks inside are starting to rust. The beds and furniture are super comfortable, bathrooms have been updated, but not the shower heads, so there's no real water pressure when showering. Also, bring your own beach towels and consider renting chairs and an umbrella. While there were two chairs and an umbrella in the unit, one chair was broken and the umbrella is very lightweight and doesn't hold up against any ocean breeze. Overall, you cannot beat the location or value in this condo. ##### Joe B.

The process to check in was smooth and easy. The condo was pretty much as described and very clean. The pools were nice and heated. We loved the close access to the beach just past the pool and over a bridge. Great location which nice and quiet but just a short 10 minute drive to many restaurants and shops. It was a perfect destination for our family. ##### joe w.

Overall the unit was very clean and presentable. The kitchen was well stocked and only missing a few things. The heated pools / grounds were great and it was wonderful to only be a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendric S. 5 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect location Absolutely perfect location for a family trip to experience everything Destin. The rooms were spacious and the amenities were a timely convenience. Only complaint is of cleanliness, being mindful of my cleanliness standards. Bathrooms could have used a little more attention in the showers. There was a bit of reminiscence of prior visitors that was a little off putting. Other than that it was as close to perfection as you could wish for. ##### Kendric S.

Cons were having to pick up the access bands at another location before checking in, but it was close so not too inconvenient. Would be great if you could just get these at the front desk. The unit was very clean and just as described, my only constructive observation was that the floor didn’t seem to have been thoroughly cleaned. We wore socks around the condo and the bottoms were pretty dingy after a short period of time. ##### Joli L.

Overall, this was a nice place but just like to review so others know what to expect. Pros: on the beach, balcony view, proximity to pool, very clean unit, master bath, guest room as nice as master, quiet part of island, not too overcrowded on spring break Cons: only 8 towels for 4 people (we asked front desk for more-they said no, no beach towels included even though they are shown in vrbo pics, the pickle ball courts your condo overlooks aren’t the ones for you-they’re for a different complex (you do have some in the parking lot-gets pretty hot over there), the location is not walkable to restaurants-closest is Louisiana Lagnpipe (great restaurant, but you it’s a little over a mile away) Overall it was a great week!! Thank you! ##### Amanda A. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alayna L. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Just okay When we arrived and opened the door we were hit in the face with a strong musty mildew smell in the condo. It reminded me of an old wet basement. (My sister also travelled here and stayed on the 5th floor and her room smelled the same. So this isn't just this condo, it's the whole building.)We brought in our luggage and kicked off our shoes only to find sand sticking to our feet. I understand that we are close to the beach, but the room should not have sand on the floor when we first walk in. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean thankfully. At the end of our first day we got into our bed and found sand in the sheets. This was very off putting and worried me that our sheets were not new and clean. They smelled and looked okay but had sand in them. I'm praying it was from maybe the dryer and they weren't shake out propertly. My children were too scared to get under their sheets so they slept on top of the bed with their own blankets. The only other thing i found to be odd was that there was no pizza pan or pizza cutter in the condo. Overall, the condo was okay. The view was not great because it's only on the second level and you can't see the beach, but you can still see the ocean out far. \*\*We did find out that anyone who booked directly with the Islander got daily beach chairs and umbrella included, but since we booked through VRBO we did not get that luxury. It costs 55 per day to rent them. ##### Alayna L.
