Pool and location great! Room alittle outdated. Had a big cutout hole behind refrigerator that freaked my kids out. Bath rooms more like a motel style or mobile home. Nice stay but fir the money, simple fixes would go along way.

First time to Florida and we were not disappointed. The condo had everything we needed. If you like less of the hustle and bustle this is the place, Destin was nice but this area was better less people. If we come back would definitely stay here.

Better than ever 2021-10-16
By: Janet M. Trip Date: 2021-10-11
We have stayed at Islander and in this unit many times. This was probably the best stay as far as overall condition of the property. It has been 5 years since our last stay but since then the outside of the building has been painted a lovely blue. The elevators were all working (which hasn't always been the case - and when you're on the 7th floor that can be a challenge), and the unit itself was well maintained (except for a noisy ceiling fan in the living room). I would like to see the management ban smoking completely from the property. Smoking is allowed on the balcony and we were driven off our balcony several times due to the cigarette smoke wafting in from a unit near us. Also, someone was grilling on their balcony which is against state law.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback on your stay with us.. We are so happy to hear everything within the condo was enjoyable.. We will be sure to pass your suggestions to the right parties ( the home owner's Association) in regards of the smoking. We hope to see you again in the near future.

Great Place! 2021-09-24

This was our second time staying with Brooks and Shorey and this unit was better than the first one we stayed in!. The condo we stayed in was clean and had everything we needed. It’s on the 7th (top) floor and the view is gorgeous! Will definitely stay with them again if I have the opportunity in the future! The only thing I wish the units had was recliners. I understand why they don’t but the furniture is very uncomfortable to rest on after a long day walking or on the beach. I’m still very satisfied with my stay and would recommend them to anyone!

From booking to check-in everyone was so nice and helpful. The condo was beautiful and very clean. The view was breathtaking. The pool where we spent most of our time is big and everyone had so much fun. Will book again. Did not want to leave. Thank you, Brooks and Shorey Resorts.

Good experience with no problems. Very nice condo with awesome view. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. It was clean. The beach was super easy to access. In a nice quiet location with not too too many people around.

Decent for the Money 2021-04-13
By: Dan S. Trip Date: 2021-03-19
Location is great although its tough to walk to anything. The condo was nice but could use some updating. Great views and it was clean. The building was under renovation which we knew before renting. The elevators were slow but they also had one shut down due to resurfacing the floor. Staff was very friendly. As I said in the title it was decent for the money but in the future I would stay somewhere with more amenities on the property.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us despite the renovations going on at the time. Please keep in mind these renovations were out of our control and hope to see you back again soon!

This unit was very nice and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the rockers on the patio with a beautiful beach view. The master bed was comfortable but a little noisy when turning during night.
This is not anything to do with our unit but the time we were there only 1 of 2 elevators was working and on the morning of our departure the fire alarm went off and the 1 elevator stopped running. Also while we were trying to get our stuff out the heating and air people came to replace the 8nside unit so it was a hassle trying to get out hyb10 AM.
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
Thanks for your review! Glad to hear you were able to enjoy the rocking chairs and the beautiful view on the balcony. We are sorry about the renovations which occurred during your stay but unfortunately, we have no control over this or the fire alarms as they are HOA issues. We hope that you will not hold this against us and hope to see you again next year!

October Vacation Stay 2020-10-21
By: Stan C. Trip Date: 2020-10-14
We were concerned about cleanliness due to having read a previous negative review, however we found the condo to be very clean. The proximity to the to be fantastic. Closer than most condos. We were disappointed that only 1 of 2 elevators were functioning and it was broken down when we checked in. We were on the 7th floor and not happy with the task of hauling all our luggage up 7 flights of stairs. Fortunately the desk clerk came to or aid even thought it was outside her realm of responsibility. She did a great job assisting and arranging other assistance. Customer service at it's best. It would have been good to know that only one elevator was functioning when we booked our room. According to an owner this situation had been an issue since early September.

Idyllic vacation 2019-10-15

This was our 2nd stay in this unit and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. Very clean and comfortable. Brooks and Shorey makes sure that you have everything you need. Great rental company. The location of this unit is perfect! We saw dolphins several times from the balcony and made use of the chairs provided on the beach. There are several great places to eat on the Island that are close by. We will definitely be back! Thanks for some much needed down time!
Response from Brooks and Shorey Resorts, Inc.:
We can't thank you enough for your great review!!! This truly is a fantastic condo and we are so glad you enjoyed. Please come back soon!
