The sofa and chairs are not the best and would love to see new more comfy seating. The location is great. The kitchen has just about anything you might need. We booked for November of 2024. Oh, the washer dryer sold us at first and makes it easy.

Fantastic place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was our first time traveling with our friends. As four adults we were looking for the perfect rental to all be able to enjoy our vacation. We looked for many weeks to decide where to go in Florida and landed on Destin. The next step was finding a great place to stay and this condo was perfect. With two nice size bedrooms and king size beds in each room both couples had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. The location was excellent with a great view. The convenience to many local restaurants was fantastic. This condo was the perfect place to stay with a great view and many things to do.

Destination wedding guest stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was very clean and updated. We had 6 guests stay in the condo and overall it worked out well. We were not crowded but one couple did have to stay on the pull out couch, which was easy to assemble. All 3 of the beds were not very comfortable and very loud when a person would move. There needed to be more pillows for the pull out couch guests. The kitchen and patio were great as well as the staff at the Islander! Besides the comfort of the beds affecting sleep the stay was great. We were 5 minutes from everything we wanted to do and walking distance from the wedding venue.

Islander room 403

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property overall is Fabulous, very clean and landscaping is groomed. Every morning they spray down the pool area and sidewalk, the pools are both warm enough to get into and are clean. Our room was clean and nicely decorated, my only issue was the wash machine didn't work properly and that was my train for picking that room was to have a washer. It would not fill up with water, only about 2 inches, enough to maybe do socks and underwear, I couldn't find any water level adjustment. I also felt like the bedding, bedspreads, needs to be updated.But overall it was a nice stay.
