"Beautiful 3 bedroom/3 bath beach condo.
We had a wonderful family vacation in this 3 bedroom/3 bath condo. The view of the ocean was perfect and it has very nice decor. The one area that could use improvement is the kitchen. It could use a deep cleaning. The bottom oven drawer had crumbs and some of the cabinets need to be wiped down on the inside. Many items in the cabinets had to be washed before using because they were dirty, some possibly because they weren’t used in a long time but others looked as though the dishwasher wasn’t run and dirty dishes were unloaded into the cabinets. Lastly, the pots and pans could really use an upgrade. They looked old and were mismatched and the fry pans were warped and didn’t sit on the stove flat. Also, needs a new knife set, they were mismatched and not sharp. We had to buy knives to use while there. Overall, the unit was clean and comfortable and very nice, the kitchen just needs a little extra attention. I would definitely stay here again."

"Vaca 2024
Our vacation was wonderful!!! This is the first time we have ever rented a condo and our first time to Ft Walton. Brooks & Shorey Resorts, Inc. did not disappoint! Everything was consistent with the previously provided descriptions, pictures, & terms. The property is very clean & well maintained - even during construction. We will definitely be back!!! "

"Great family vacation location
Great condo and amenities for our family. Unfortunate construction maintenance taking place during busy season was LOUD and we were on the 5th floor! I can’t imagine what the lower floors dealt with. They should do this on off season. Otherwise, stay was great."

"Family Vacation
Perfect space for the entire family. It is hard to find three full bathrooms and a space to have two bunkbeds that aren't crammed into a tiny space. Each room is generous in size, with plenty of chairs for the dining area and the living room. The Islander is our favorite place to visit on Okaloosa Island with a large pool and quieter beach area.

Loved our condo at the Islander - 5003. Super clean and spacious. The entire property is well maintained and staff is super friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend booking with this company and would definitely return!"

"Love our winter paradise get away in Ft. Walton Beach FL ⛱️
This is our 10th. Season spending quality time relaxing and rejuvenating down in FWB FL. We have enjoyed the last two years at excellent headquartersin the Islander 5003 very much. The property is clean and well maintained. We commend the owner for providing fine new washer and dishwasher and living room couch for convenience and comfort this winter. Brooks and Shorey have been very attentive to our needs while here Jan. Feb. And Mar. We have recommended them to other snowbirds for their great service. We are fortunate for restaurants close by like Stewbys fish house on Santa Rosa and German Wursthaus on Miracle Strip Pky. We love how close we are to First Baptist Church ⛪️ here worshiping with wonderful friends weekly.
We are very happy here."

"Islander 5003
We were very impressed with the accommodations. The view was beautiful, the condo was exceptionally clean, well-stocked and inviting. The team was proactive at giving us all information we needed for the week. Overall, a great experience and we would rent from Brooks & Shorey again in the future.

Fantastic unit"

"Enjoyed our stay
Overall, very enjoyable condo and experience . View was amazing and condo location was great! Having 3 bed and 3 bath was fantastic. Check-in and out were the easiest we’ve ever experienced. It was nice to have toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, and starter bathroom toiletries supplied. The condo was clean. Kitchen was adequately supplied. Some suggestions...replace the living room furniture (well worn and uncomfortable), dishwasher did not clean the dishes very well (we tried a variety of settings), all of the bathroom mirrors are hung low (we had to bend down to see our full heads. We are tall, but not that tall ��). We really enjoyed the Fort Walton area. Family friendly, great restaurants, not overly busy, clean beach! ����"

"Amazing
We had an amazing time. The view was BEAUTIFUL. We love 5003 the pictures doesn't do it justice. I also loved that it had a bathroom in each bedroom. Comes in handy with daughters lol. We will definitely be back. The weather was beautiful on day 1 and not too bad on the last few days. Can't wait to come back. "

"Islander 5003
Like the complex and pool. Furniture a bit worn, a king bed in master instead of queen desirable -enough room there. Only had a couple small spoons, mostly tablespoons. We bought plastic utensils and paper plates. More extra pillows would be nice too. Enough towels enough for our larger group and overall pretty nice. "

"Annual Family Vacation
The location of the rental was outstanding. View of the beach from the room was great. Enjoyed having a private bathroom with each bedroom. The furniture was a little outdated but adequate. The place was not clean as could be, we cleaned for a bit when we arrived. We were informed about the construction just a week or two before, it was all during the daytime and was just noisy. A large trash can was available to replace the chutes and emptied daily. Great location for the price. Still enjoyed the trip."
Apr 24, 2021 - David A., Easley, SC
"Little Disappointed
We have used Brooks and Shorey for a few years now. Renovations are good. But we were not told about any of this until maybe 2 days after we paid and this was not a a discounted price. We had terrible noise for most of our stay. We had no water in condo 1 day all day and no water at beach shower 1 or 2 days. Elevator was torn up and had to carry all luggage and such up stairs. Again this condo stay was not a dicounted price but you would think we stayed at a cheap motel somewhere. The weather was nice."

"Beautiful condo with a magnificent view
We were pleasantly surprised to see how large and roomy this condo was and the kitchen well equipped. The location is perfect for relaxing and having able room on the beach. The pool is large enough to where you do not feel that you are swimming on top of each other. It was maintained quite well and always very clean. The property description was dead on. No surprises! Brooks and Shorey Resort Inc. were very easy to work with and answered any questions I had immediately. I would most definitely recommend this unit to friends and family and hope to rent this unit again soon. We ate most of our meals in the condo as there is a Publix grocery store around the corner which made for easy access to groceries. We did eat at AJ's on the Harbor Walk one afternoon and the food was very good. We did rent a boat and jet ski and spent the afternoon at Crab Island. The kids enjoyed the inflatables. The condo complex is very nice and comfortable. "

"Family Vacation on the beach.
We had a great time on the beach with kids and grand kids. You can't beat the white sandy beach, the family atmosphere of Ft. Walton, yet 5 minutes from Destin. What a wonderful week! Can't wait to do it again next year."

"Best week ever!!
Vacation home was just like in the pictures and as described! It was very spacious and very clean. The rooms and separate bathrooms were definitely convenient and we each had our own privacy. The kitchen was FULLY stocked...we were not in need of a thing! We woke up every morning and drank our coffee while watching the dolphins, while sitting on our balcony! We did have one issue during the week, in the middle of doing a load of laundry the washer made this horrible squeaking. I called Brooks and shorey and they had someone out to repair it within 20 mins or less. I was concerned because we had a cruse that we were leaving for but the matinence man instead we get there on time and he would lock up when he finished the job. When we returned the washer was fixed and we went on with our vacation without a worry!!! This is our second time renting through Brooks and Shorey, first time in this condo, but I promise you that because of both stays we will definitely be back for our next vacation!"

"Amazing family vacation getawat
We had an amazing week at Islander 5003. We were arriving the day tropical storm Alberto was hitting land. I called to find out if we would be able to make it. They were very friendly from the start and helpful in assessing the weather situation. Upon arrival everything was just as described. The unit was clean and plenty of room for my family. We didn't have any problems. The view is beautiful. We saw dolphins out the window playing in the water. The beach itself is just beautiful. They take pride in it and everyone picks up the trash. It was just what we wanted for our vacation. We will definitely be back. "

"Nice condo in a beautiful location
This condo is very spacious, nice furniture, comfortable beds, clean and fully equipped. A few minor drawbacks - 2 bedrooms have very small TVs, washer and dryer are in a closet in spare bedroom, needs a few new accessories but otherwise it is a really nice place to stay. "

"Great view, nice condo
We had a wonderful time, the condo has a nice view of the beach and ocean. The balcony was a nice size for the 4 adults and 3 small children in our party. My only complaint is the queen beds in both bedrooms were VERY uncomfortable. "

"Home away from Home- Best Condo EVER
This condo has the perfect layout and it is so roomy and up-to-date. The ocean view is perfect and can be seen from the living room and kitchen, and the master bedroom which has its own sliding door and balcony entrance. The condo is equipped with everything you need except food and laundry detergent. If you have a long stay you may run out of the the complimentary items such as toilet paper, paper towels, and dish washer detergent but what they provide lasts a while. Another huge plus is the "free" amenities included and to highlight some there is 1 umbrella and 2 chairs daily provided free for each day of your stay, DVD movie rentals, and more. "

"Fabulous vacation soot
Amazing! We loved everything about the stay. We will definitely stay there again next year. Everything was immaculate and very spacious. The view was awsome too. "
Aug 29, 2017 - Maureen B., Lawrenceburg, KY
"Good and Bad
There were plusses and minuses. The location was wonderful. The beach chairs and umbrella available every day were great and always available. The size of the condo was great. The pool area was very nice. On the minus side, the master bath shower drained very slowly and the faucet was old and had mildew. The living room furniture was run down and needs replacing. Also, you advertise two free movie rentals per day, but it is off premises and requires driving to and from within the 24 hour window. With some updating, this could be a much nicer property."

"Get a cart.
What I would like to see is some form of policy that controls the carts used by the guest. On fridays some guest store the carts in thier rooms. On Saturday morning when guest are trying to depart no carts are available.
Maybe a cart deposit, if a guest is caught with a cart in the room, the deposit is not returned. I have been coming to the islander for 12 years and the problem has only gotten worse. "

"Great place
Loved the condo. Only thing we had a problem with was the smoke detector in living room. It kept chirping even after battery was replaced. When we checked in the cable in living room wasn't working but I called & it was fixed right away. Will definitely try to get this unit again on my next visit "

"great for the condo.
no problems with our rental.
we were not impressed with the Brooks and Shorey staff and directions to their place. they don't know the area and could not tell us where they were located and we were only 5 miles from them as it turned out. they need to be educated to the area. also they were running a special with a discount for anyone staying in august. because we booked in May they would not honor the discount. for these reasons we will not use this group again. so that small discount you didn't honor cost you at least 3 customers."

"Labor Day Weekend
Condo was exactly as pictured. The view from the balcony was the best. Booking was so fast and easy and the ladies were so easy to talk to. The dishwasher was broken and we didn't realize this until after we had loaded it the night before we were to leave. Beds were comfy as well as the living room and enough room to sit comfortably. Just wish they had offered more beach chairs, floating rafts etc in the unit for guests. We found a small chir that was in the balcony but it has had better days. Overall was a great stay even with Hurricane Hermine "
Sep 11, 2016 - Frank C., New Orleans, La
"Perfect for us - an odd group
We only had four on this trip, but this condo was wonderful having so much room and dedicated baths for each. Grown son, folks, and a grandma enjoyed the luxury & space all week; nice high 5th floor for dolphin spotting when the surf was calm (2 days), really nice, solid furnishings, microfiber couches were clean, just a great experience. Kitchen was decently stocked w/ pans/glasses, bed linens were good quality, beds were comfortable. Couldn't have gone better for us."
Sep 03, 2016 - Rich E., Alton, IL
"Great Accomendations
Great layout of rooms. Three bathrooms a plus. Very roomy for the 5 of us. Furniture comfortable. Bed I slept in 1st class. No real complaints, however I would suggest patching small holes in two of bathrooms, possibly upgrading the microwave, and change out some of the decor to look more like the beach. Also please include manual can opener. the electric one is hard to use. In summary I would stay there again. Very quite no noise from other tenants. Best beach I've stayed out anywhere in Florida Panhandle. Clean and deep sand."

"May 2015
Our experience staying in Fort Walton Beach is always so good. We have stayed in several different condos and all are very nice with a perfect view of the beautiful beach. Our only complaint is that for a 3 bedroom condo we only get 2 chairs and 1 umbrella and to get extra it is $30 per day. It gets expensive to rent chairs and umbrellas for everyone."
Jun 16, 2015 - Martin R., Spring, TX
"A nice view,but...
Suite 5003 was in need of a good going over. The towel racks were loose & you could tell where they had been patched & put back up before. Carpets were worn & looked old, as did sofas & chairs in living room. Coffeemaker was left filthy, dishes and utensils needed to be re-washed. Light bulbs were blown, or mismatched. The two extra bedrooms had tiny TV's, (about the size of computer monitors.)
It was quite a step down from the condos that we have rented the last few years from Brooks & does have a nice view."

"Excellent vaca!
we arrived early and could not get in room till exactly 4:00. although that is check in sometimes you can get in early if the room has been checked. keep that in mind while traveling. the room was great. ample room for 2 familys and nice furniture. the balcony was a large size. the pool was not warm until the last day we were there even though it is suppossed to be heated, FYI for small children.
we had more than enough towels and dishes. this was our first trip to Okaloosa so we were not aware of the "no personal items left on beach at night". this was sort of a hassle to lug all your stuff down and back up every day. but on the upside the beach was not littered with tents and toys all week. we absolutley loved our stay. the water is beautiful and the sand was perfect. i would reccommned this unit to anyone! thanks"

The whole place was very nice. We have been going to Fort Walton for the past Four years with our family and this has been the nicest place we have stayed in. We will definitely be returning to this location. The rooms were just the right sizes.

"Family vacation 2014
This was our second visit staying at the Islander Beach Resort. We were disappointed with the balcony furniture. The springs in the base of the chairs were so worn that in order to sit upright, the chairs had to be leaned against the concrete walls of the balcony. This made it almost impossible to enjoy the ocean view. There was also a lack of storage in the master bedroom. The front door lock allowed two teenagers to enter the condo while we were sleeping, we did not know them and they were in the wrong condo. The lock was so old and loose, it allowed the unauthorized entrance through the locked door. This was reportred immediately to the office as well as a leaking toilet."

We enjoyed our stay, but were very frustrated to find the heater in the swimming pool was broken and no intent to repair it at this time.

"Peaceful family retreat
The inside furniture was comfortable for four adults and a toddler. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The property was family friendly yet peaceful. The only improvements needed are cleaning of the mold in the kitchen and bathroom sinks where the granite and sink meet. (It wasn't just a little mold. It was quite noticeable.) A more equipped workout area/gym would've been nice, too. Nevertheless, there's a good strip to go running on right in front of the condo. The balcony was spacious and the view was great, but some of the furniture out there needs work or replacement. All in all, my family and I will definitely stay again! It was easy to make ourselves at home."

"It was okay
The people who stayed in the condo above us were super loud, even after we called management, they were just ridiculously loud. Didn't like that you have to drive down the street to rent the DVD's that are included with the stay, to offer free DVD rental would mean the DVD kiosk is in your Hotel. The room had barely enough plates and bowls for the amount of people allowed to stay in the room, not enough cups. You literally have to was dishes everyday. "

"Another Amazing Vaction on the Island!
This is our third year renting from Brooks and Shorey and staying at the Islander. We love both!! This condo was very nice, comfortable and clean. Only had two problems, the overhead light in the room with two full size beds didn't work, there is a table lamp so it wasn't that big of a deal. The internet and phone weren't working the first night, but they had us up and going the very next morning. I would also like to say thank you to Rob from maintenance with Brooks and Shorey, we appreciate your going above and beyond for our internet needs!! The only suggestion I have for this unit is bar height furniture for the patio. We didn't care for the normal height furniture, although it was very nice, the view while on the balcony is through the railings. "

The condo is very functional. It is situated in a very good neighbourhood, the view is great and kitchenware and everything is very good.

This has been our family destination for four years and counting. We love the family centered environment and the lack of rowdiness that you get in so many other beach locations. The staff has always been so wonderful and when we got married here two years ago they even made sure that we had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived. I can't imagine beach vacation anywhere else. The accomodations are always lovely, the beach is amazing the the overall area gets better every year. Excellent, excellent, excellent."

"Great Weekend!
View and access to beach was great! Only issue was with the A.C. and one call to the office and a repairman was there in minutes! Staff extremely helpful and would definitely stay again! :)"

"Construction
There was construction going on several floors during our stay which made it very noisy by the pool & beach.
Pool temp was not heated enough to enjoy in early May.
Beds in our room was uncomforable."

"Spring Break 2011-
Drove to Florida with the family and our nieces. Everything was perfect for a family vacation. You could see the kids in the pool and spot your friends on the beach right from your balcony. Having the pool on the ocean side of the building was a huge plus; most of the others on this island are by the parking lot. I noticed there was a volleyball net a few buildings was on an angle which was awkward. I wish they would put a level volleyball court on this property, then it would be perfect :) "

The unit (5003 at the Islander) was fantastic! Beautifully decorated, beds were very comfortable. Really like having internet access in the unit also. We had a great week at the Islander. Wish we could still be there now."
