Absolutely perfect! 2022-10-08

Perfect location on the beach. We had 3 couples plus kids, and the fact that each bedroom has its own bathroom was perfect. We loved the balcony for morning coffee, evening winding down and any other time we wanted the open space. The condo itself was great. Beds comfy as well as common rooms. Some of us played at the pool and others at the beach. The location was great for a beach wedding and other festivities in Destin. We were there in the off season, so no places were too crowded. I hope we can stay here again in the future. Thank you for the best family vacation!

Great Family Vacation 2022-08-03

I have nothing but positive things to say about Brooks and Shorey and their ease and professionalism throughout the rental process. Everything was fast, simple, and just as described. This is our 6th year in a row staying at Islander Beach Resort, but our first time in a 3BR. All the other condos we stayed in were up-to-date in decor and appliances. The showers and faucets in this one look like the cheapest ones you can find in Wal-Mart, and the fridge needed some new shelves in there (previously broken I assume). The full size washer and dryer were AMAZING, albeit they are in the bedroom with 2 beds, so disturbing to those staying in there if you need to do laundry early am or late at night. The mirrors on all the walls in the dining room and bedrooms were a bit daunting, but we got used to them after a while--kids had to run into them a few times before they got the idea (ha!). Overall, we would stay in this condo again as the size was perfect for our family and adult children. The one complaint I have about Islander, which was new this year, is that they pick up the umbrellas by the pool at 4pm. At this time, the entire pool area is still covered in sun and doesn't get shady until around 5pm. We asked the guy picking them up why they did that so early and his response was "because that's what time I get off." HOWEVER, there has to be someone still on premises because they promptly started kicking us out of the pool area at 9:50 pm. Not sure why that person can't pick up the 6 or 7 umbrellas they have around the pool area.

Second time staying in this room, third time at the islander and we absolutely love it! Checking in and out is alway smooth. Only complaint we have is the boardwalk to the beach was close and had to use the public one and they did not have a way of washing sand off but other then that we loved it there!

We really enjoyed our stay. The only thing I would change is updating the outdated furniture, add black-out curtains to all bedrooms and providing kitchen towels and dish clothes. The master bed wasn’t very stable and every time you shifted the bed would squeak and hit the glass mirror. Two of the dining room table chair were broken not a big deal but could had been a safety issue. We told the staff and they were sending maintenance out to fix. Also bedrooms facing the outside of building needs blackout curtains. It was very bright in rooms at night from the lights on the walkways.

The staff was very friendly and helpful to anything we needed. When we had a minor issue maintenance was in our room within 5 minutes to help us.

Overall we loved our stay. It was a great location, with amazing views and the beach chair service was so nice to have. The condo got a fresh coat of paint and it looked amazing. Guest services was helpful and courteous. That is most important to me. They were always kind and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone wanting to visit the area.
