"Our stay was wonderful. The property is in a great location, clean and a fun environment. There are two heated pools and two hot tubs. They had a movie night by the pool one night and live music another evening. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The beach directly in front of the Islander is BEAUTIFUL! I messed up by entering the unit 12 minutes earlier than I should’ve, but Real Joy was gracious and accommodating. So sorry- the front office told us to go ahead and go in! The place was clean and comfortable. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!"

"Family vacation - We really enjoyed staying at this property for our first trip to Destin. The location was nice and convenient. The laundry room and trash chute were just steps away from the room. The pool area was clean and there was only a 3-4 min walk to the beach. The area was also very quite. We would for sure stay here again on our next visit to Destin."

"The Islander - Very happy with the property and also with the area. Three minutes to the beach (condo key opens the beach gate). The Islander is a nice condo complex, well-kept, pools in good condition etc. The beach area is excellent, and there are chairs/umbrellas set up. Our unit had a full kitchen and all the dishes/pans etc. Two bedrooms with two twin beds in the 2nd, perfect for our teenagers. Check/in was quick and easy at the management office which is 10 minutes from the property. Very satisfied, had a great time here."

"ISlander 214 - It was beautiful and the pools were heated and just super clean outside and inside. The only thing I have to say is I had to wipe down a door where ketchup had been slung and also the other doors had makeup handprints on them. That was gross. But otherwise, very, very clean and plenty of towels and very nice. Cleaning people need to wipe down the doors and kitchen some though. Drain in the guest bathroom didn’t drain. One of the twin beds has a shot mattress."

"Great place - The condo was nice. The check in process was the only inconvieniece, you have to go to the property management to get keys, it’s about 2 miles away from condo. Other reviewers have said they had to keep up with keys. We had key cards (like hotels) and everyone has to have them to unlock the gate to the beach."

"Excellent option for 4 to 6 people - Unit is exactly as advertised. The decor is very well done. The large rectangular tile throughout the kitchen, living room and bathroom along with the dark cabinets, back splash and tile work in bath rooms gives an upscale feel to the condo. The dual sink in the master and the sink in the other bath room felt upscale too. And, the walk-in shower in the master is huge! One of the best parts though is the king sized master bed. It's one of the most comfortable I've slept on. It has a large round dining table that easily accommodates 6 people. I felt the price was very good for what we got in this unit. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Very nice condo in a great location! - I was thoroughly pleased with this condo, especially since I am a first time renter. It is close to several local attractions. The room was exactly as portrayed on Home Away. Steps away from the beach. You do not have to cross a road. Laundry room is close to the room. Very comfortable beds. Beach has lots of shells and very affordable kayak rentals..$16/hr. Room was very clean and we'll stocked. I highly recommend this property."

"Beautiful Condo!! - We were skeptical on booking this condo since there were so few reviews, but we can't say enough great things about it!! The pictures are exactly what the condo looks like! Short walk past the tennis courts to get to the beach was not bad at all! With two pools on site they were never crowded and very well kept up. The only thing that we didn't know before we booked was that since we booked through RealJoy and VRBO and not The Islander itself, beach chairs and umbrellas were not included. I believe to use the chairs and umbrellas they offered it was going to be around $30 a day. However, we had our own anyways and there was tons of room on the beach to sit! We will book this condo again when we go back!"

"Anniversary Getaway!!!! GREAT LOCATION, AFFORDABLE, AND LUXURIOUS!!! - When I booked this place there was only 1 review and I was a bit skeptical but hopeful. I was so excited to see that the condo was exactly as pictured! It truly is as gorgeous as you see in the pictures. It was very clean and well maintained. The thing I loved most was we were at the center of it all!! I love the timely response you get from the owners. I had only one request and it was taken care of immediately the day after arrival. I definitely will be booking this place again. "
