We had recently stayed at the Islander in March. When thinking of where we wanted to take our summer vacation, it was an easy decision to book another rental at the Islander! The property location is right on beautiful white sand and water in a safe area for running and walking on beach or pavement. We like that all buildings are low rise max 7 stories) due to the proximity to the Air Force base. The property is well maintained and cared for with a nice pool area. Condo was clean with nice amenities. Our local restaurant favorites were Parlor donuts, The Gulf, Stewby’s, The Shack and Ali’s Bistro. Hope to vacation here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Great location for Spring Break!
We were very happy with the property overall - clean, beautiful views and easy access to everything. Living room could use new furniture and check-in was frustrating as “check-in beginning at 4:00” apparently means check-in between 4:00-6:00 so we had to sit in the car for an hour before getting the code to the condo. Other than that, we had a wonderful trip!

Reviewer Comments:
The patio chairs were so uncomfortable it made the patio experience not relaxing at all. The high-top chairs need new cushions. There is mold on the vanity in the second bathroom. The same bathroom toilet leaked and soaked all the clothes in a suitcase on the floor. The beach chair attendant was a jerk.

We enjoyed our stay at the Islander. The unit was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. The view from the 6th floor was absolutely stunning! We had a problem with the AC upon arrival and the maintenance staff was very quick to come fix it. Our kids loved the pool! We would definitely recommend the Islander and Brooks and Shorey!

The pictures actually don't do this condo justice. We were a little worried it looked "old" however it was great (old carpet but clean). We loved everything ab the condo & loved our stay!!!! As far as the building - the need to do something w/that VERY SLOW elevator but that has nothing to do w/this unit.
