"Family Vacation
Great location, view, and plenty of room for a family. "

"Amazing Beach Week
The condo was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked. We had perfect weather the week we were there. The beach was very nice. It was not crowded at all. The people seated around us were very friendly. The only problem we had was a family that set up all of their umbrellas (4 plus all their chairs) in front of the rental beach chairs. Our beach attendant told them they could not do that anymore. Then it was like a dare. So they did it again the next day and would not move behind the chairs where they should set up. This was a minor problem. We will definitely be returning next year. "

The condo was fine except there was basically no running water in the kitchen with a pail under the sink???"

Very pleased with everything except kitchen glassware, cutlery, pots and pans. These needed to be upgraded.
One elevator was down and the other was dirty."

"Islander 3004
Our stay was very nice in a well kept and clean condo. A little lacking on glasses and blankets/linens but Brooks and Shorey tried to accomodate. The Condo is NOT what I thought we were getting, as I had stated we wanted 2 DOUBLE beds in second bedroom; so that was very disappointing. Tried to get some type of refund on that was was told no. We ended up buying a blow up queen size bed to put in living room to satisfy our needs. The sofa bed was just not comfortable for two adults."

"Islander 3004
The ladies on the phone are very knowledgeable and helpful. Never had any issues. The condo needs some updating. The bathtubs are pretty nasty. Half the light bulbs were out. The cleaning people do not clean very well. There was left over eaten candy on the dresser. "

"Great Condo
The management company was very easy to deal with and kept in touch with me concerning all aspects of the condo. It was very clean, in fact the whole building was very well maintained and clean. The condo itself had everything to make our stay comfortable. We stayed there 2 weeks and it felt just like we were at home. The beach chairs were a plus and the pool was beautiful. I have no complaints and would recommend this condo to anyone. Also lots of great eateries around. Even took advantage of the free activities the condo had to offer."

"Things that were not good
People doing the renovation were not polite. One one working elevator and the beds in our unit need to be replaced. The only good thing was the location. We were awakened every morning to the construction outside our door. "

"beach vacation, finally
This unit was in excellent condition and we enjoyed our stay after having to cancel twice in Orange Beach. Once for covid, another for hurricane Sally. The only changes I would make to the condo is new carpet or flooring in the bedroom and the location of the Brooks and Shorey office was hard to find. "

Very comfortable unit and very clean"

"Piece of Heaven
Pleasantly surprised with this clean, stylish, comfortable,& pretty unit. Carts in the lobby make it real easy for you to load onto elevator. This A/C works phenomenal in this unit! You are overlooking the pool at a slight angle and over the beach! Couldn't have been better! The furniture was comfortable and the t.v.had a wonderful sound system. We enjoyed this place so so much that THIS is where I will continue to go and stay! You are maybe 11 minutes to Destins Harborwalk eatery's and shopping galore! Also the condo is literally a hop away from Publix. Thank you for a peaceful relaxing stay��"

We had an awesome stay in Condo 3004. My family was very pleased with the accommodations and there was plenty of room for the 6 of us. "

"Not my first time!
Stayed at the Islander several years. Always satisfied with rooms but the beaches and the view are the best!"

"Vacation 2019 was great!!!
Our stay with Brooks and Shorey was great! The unit was very clean and perfect! The master bed was very comfy, and I am very picky about that sort of thing! I had no complaints about it. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds, which is nice. Everything was nice and clean in there as well. My oldest son slept on the fold away couch in the living room so he could have his “own room”. The mattress was new and nice. We had a beautiful view of the ocean and it was just a quick walk to get there. The pool is big and clean . The kids loved it. I honestly can’t think of one thing about the unit that I would complain about. The unit has it all! And also, we never had any problems with parking, which was nice. They think of everything to make your vacation perfect! We cannot wait for our next chance to come back to Fort Walton Beach! "

"Loved the condo!
We loved staying at this condo. It was very clean upon arrival. We had enough room for our family of five. We needed a blanket and it was delivered right away. I LOVED the view of the pool and ocean from the balcony. It was perfect to watch our older kids play while sitting on the balcony. Thank you. If we come to this area again, I will try to reserve this same condo. "

"IBR 3004
This is our fifth time renting through Brooks and Shorey and our fourth time at Islander Beach Resort. We chose this particular condo for this vacation because of the twin beds and its 3rd floor location. Overall, good condo. It was clean upon arrival. The kitchen did not seem as stocked with cooking tools as other IBR Condos have been in past, which is no big deal, just good to know in advance.
Our stay was interrupted by Hurricane Michael and the Brooks and Shorey staff were very helpful with regards to our having to evacuate. Specifically, Connie and Keela were very friendly and helpful (not sure I soelled their names correctly). Fortunately, we were able to return within two days and finish our vacation."

"End of Summer Beach Escape
Great stay! We've been staying at the Islander for the past 21 yrs when we visit the beach. We stayed at one other condo building one year that was newer, but just not the same. Too many great memories at the Islander. The curtains on the sliding doors have the same stains on them from when we stayed in the condo in 2016. The comforter in the master bedroom is a bit outdated and fading. Just minor details. Overall, we'll probably ask for it again when we come back. Very clean! "

"Okay
The place was really nice except that there was a closet door in the spare room of the hinges... Dirty dishes in the dishwasher band used soap in the master bedroom... The ocean had too much June grass which I know they cant control butThe beach however was unkept... Smelled of rotting pools... Tractors never came thru to spread sand and last day there we decided to leave early... Inadvertently while we packed my granddaughter pack a hairdryer that wasn't ours... Where do I mail it?"

"Beautiful place.
The property was well maintained. Furniture and appliances we're all up to date.Very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that you can't check in until 4:00pm. But they make you check out at 10:00am. I felt a little rushed to leave and a little ripped off on my time there. I think a 12:00 check out would be more appropriate. I understand about cleaning. But maybe hire more people to clean more units and you won't have to rush your renters out. "

"Just What We Needed
My family and I wanted a simple time and place to relax. We were able to do that through renting and staying at 3004 Islander. Very nice accommodations. Close to the pool and beach. We really enjoyed the umbrella and beach chairs that were set up for us on the beach each day."

My friends and I had planned a trip to Myrtle Beach as we always have, but due to a hurricane we had to quickly change direction. We found your condo to be neat and clean. View, spectacular. Beach, clean and relaxing. The surrounding areas were a short drive and plenty to eat and do. Can't wait to come back next fall!"

My family and I stayed in this condo for a week and it is beautiful. We had a problem with the shower not working in the master bathroom which we reported and it was fixed the next day.

"Great Time!
We had a wonderful stay in July 2015. The view from the large balcony was great! We had no problem getting 2 chairs on the beach each day. Nice to not have to squeeze into a hotel room with our kids. The only thing you need to bring are towels for the beach. Kitchen had everything we needed. "

We had a great time and the condo was great!! The only problem that we were not happy about was the fact that there was alcohol drinking in and around the pool as well as loud music at different times being played from radio's by the was after 5 o'clock each time. "

"GREAT GETAWAY!
Although the elevators decided to quit working when we arrived and there was stormy weather, we had a fun time at the beach, sight-seeing, and doing some antique and souvenir shopping. Very relaxing and our condo seemed to be our home away from home!"

"Check-in procedure
I found it very inconvenient to have to return the following morning (we were a late arrival) to "officially" check in. I feel that is something you could leave in the lock box so it could be signed and left that night rather than making the client return the next morning by 10,"

Weather was very rainy :(

"Perfect for family of 4
For our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 pre-teens) the condo was perfect. What we liked: having an ocean view so we could see the water-weather conditions and walk down the stairs to get to the beach. The patio table was nice for having breakfast. Flat tvs everywhere -the girls liked having their own tv in their bedroom. Liked having washer & dryer in the condo. We made use of the amenities-beach umbrella and chairs are a must!, we rented dvds almost every night, the dolphin cruise (1 free ticket) was great for seeing dolphins up close-water was a little choppy but worth it for the the sealife(dolphin pods, stingray, shark). Condo location was close enough to get to both Destin (7 minutes) and to FWB for groceries (Publix Market). The gals in the office were helpful to recommend that we take Hwy 85 on the way in (seemed a long way around) but that avoided the heavy traffic on Miracle Strip Parkway (Sat afternoon). Minor complaints: we were barefoot in the condo and our feet picked up dust/dirt otherwise the condo was very clean. We couldn't find the remote for the dvd player, and the glass patio door was a little hard to slide. We had a great time and look forward to coming back! "

"evaluation for room 3004 at the Islander
Our stay was great. However, I have stayed at the Islander for the past 4 years on Spring Break. Room 3004 was not as nice as the others I have stayed in. The kitchen definately needs some help. There were not enough bowls with lids for storage, serving trays and a garbage disposal would be nice. Also, we had to ask for extra towels. Could use some extra blankets, too. I will say none of this prevented us from having a great time."

"We do not recommend this property.
The condo was very decieving when viewing it on the internet. We had "DAMP_RID" spill all over clothing that was in a can on a wire shelf in the top of the closet in master bedroom. The sofa bed was broken. We had company before xmas, they were going to sleep on the sofa bed. My son opened the sofa bed and it was in deplorable condition, the springs were all broken etc. We called management, they sent a maintainance man to look at it, he also said it was in bad shape. My son and family left. Our daughter and family decided not to come for new year- we spent both holidays by ourselves in a condo that was supposed to sleep 6, but only slept 4? Our holidays were ruined-we spent them alone. The sofa bed still was not repaired when we left 1 month later. Management were no help-we contacted them several times, nothing was ever done to rectify any of the problems. we still had to pay for a condo that was supposed to sleep 6, but only slept 4. Our holidays were ruined as we did not have the accommodation for them. We have contacted the Better Business Bureau, as we think the price was to high, it was not as advertised, also clothes ruined and holidays ruined with our family."
