"Beautiful view and great location
Really nice unit that has upgrades. It was very clean aside from the carpets in the bedrooms need replaced or at least cleaned as well as the area rug. The beds were the most uncomfortable ones Ive ever slept on they feel like a box spring with a mattress pad. We visit multiple times each year and Brooks and Shorey are the best as always and take care of any issues that arise. "

"Gulf view
The gulf view, beach and pool were excellent. The unit was clean and comfortable but a bit small. Only disappointment was the water was shut off 2 different days and cable unavailable another day."

Had a wonderful stay and condo accommodations were great!"

"Brooks & shorey
Our experienced was so great! My only complaint was that the slider door was very difficult to open and close to the balcony and the cable it working half way through our trip. I know the cable situation sounds silly because you’re on vacation but we had small kids who wanted to watch tv and could not. "

I’ve already recommended to friends! Great place, clean, easy access to the beach. Will come back again!"

"FWB Dance 2023
Visited FWB for a 2023 dance competition and picked this location because of proximity to Convention Center. It was great! The beach and water were fabulous! Kenny and the beach chairs were definitely a plus! The pool was clean and pool area was clean as well. The hours for the fitness center have a little to be desired...it is only open during business hours 9-5 and we are early risers and start the day with activity...not able to use the fitness center because it was only open during “Prime” beach time or while we needed to be at convention center. As for unit 4007, great unit! If I were to be nit-picky...the trash cans under sink need the mechanism secured so trash can don’t fall out every time you use the trash cans...I ended up pulling one out and sitting it in the kitchen. The paint (or wrap) on cabinets is peeling. If you are visiting and like the room cold, this place is for you, but if you like several blankets...you need to bring your own."

"Great place to stay
Condo was clean and well equipped. The only complaint is the listing stated heated pool and when we got in the water was cold due to they had already turned the heater off, we were here in April and the temperatures were still cool. I will stay here again"
Apr 24, 2023 - , Evansville, IN
"Vacation stay
Condo was clean and updated. Only thing I had to ask for was we only had 5 bath towels for 4 adults foer a weeks stay. Called the office and they brought some extras immediately. Not sure I agree with only 2 Beach chairs for condo when you have 4 adults that are staying in a 2 bedroom condo. The charge of $30 per day per extra chair was definitely a surprise. But other than these 2 things, our stay was very nice. "

Absolutely everything I expected and more! "
Mar 07, 2023 - , Chicago, IL
"Photos can be deceiving
Overall, a disappointment. The photos looked nice and the location is great. But the place is old. This was evident when we showed up by the exterior looks and the smell of the unit (like ingrained smoke from decades past). I seriously question the cleaning of the unit since there was hair on the couch and pills spilled on the bedroom floor. There’s also deferred maintenance even though this unit looked updated in photos. The A/C vent and fridge both had a lot of rust on the front and the kitchen cabinet was broken with paint stripped off. Unit and fees are pricey so we simply expected more. Left early and stayed at a different property. "

"Perfect location, very nice unit!
Bright, clean, modern unit right above the pool and beautiful
View of the beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."

"Wonderful!
The unit was nicely updated amd had everything we needed. Only complaint would be that the beds are super firm. The location is on the quiet side and away fromnthe traffic but still close enough to the stores and eateries. Would go back again for sure.The fire alarm went off one night in the middle of the night so that was fun evacuating a whole building with a baby : )"

"Well appointed condo
The condo unit was exactly what we were wanting and expecting. The check in was flawless check out was simple. The distance to restaurants and activities was great. made the process very convenient.
Our only complaint would be the with the local government closing the beaches for Rip Currents when other municipalities remained open (same conditions). The closures seemed overly cautious. There is no point in traveling to the gulf if the gulf is un-available. This is not a complaint for the unit but for the area overall.
We would definitely rent this unit again, would just prepare ourselves for the potential of no Gulf access."
Apr 18, 2022 - Shane H., West Burlington, IA
"Perfect Spot!
The whole process was easy! The condo was beautiful and as stated. The location was perfect! We loved the location, right on the beach and close to many restaurants and shops.We would definitely stay here again!"

"Fantastic Views
Our family loved this condo. Located right off the elevator and had the most amazing views of the sun rising, sun setting and of course the Gulf. Most beautiful white sand, clear blue waters and seeing sting rays jumping in the water. Every morning we sat on the deck and watched the dolphins pass by. Condo was very clean and spacious. My only complaint is that they didn’t have a complete set of pots and pans to cook a meal. We did enjoy eating at Asiagos, Great Bay Steamer (a little too expensive for us), Rockin Tacos (our favorite), and we had Thanksgiving lunch at Brotula’s (absolutely amazing). "

"Not good!
This condo was extremely under stocked. The Kenmore stove didn’t have a lower coil in the oven. Unable to use. No blankets, the Mr Coffeemaker was broken(grounds went everywhere), no bread knife, 2 sm saucepans and 1 peeling Teflon skillet. Staff was very friendly. Will not return! Beware! View was beautiful!"

I had a great experience renting one and f your places. It was a very nice condo and looked exactly like the pictures that I saw that made me want to get it."

"Sisters Trip
Wonderful condo. Beautiful view. Perfect amount of space with beautiful, comfortable decor. Well stocked with extra towels. We enjoyed being able to use the extra beach chair. Would’ve loved a pizza pan. Maybe a book to recommend restaurants from past visitors would be a fun touch to add. "

The condo was perfect for our stay. Very clean!"
Aug 28, 2021 - , KNOXVILLE, TN
"Loved this condo!
This condo is clean and beautiful and just like the pictures on the website showed. It had the perfect view to the ocean with being in the middle on the 4th floor. It had all the kitchen appliances we needed along with plates, silverware, paper towels, etc. We had 3 light bulbs out in different areas and maintenance was quick to respond and get them replaced. There was a leak in the laundry room coming from the washer and maintenance came out and fixed it quickly and professionally. The only item that needs to be replaced is the screen door to the back patio - it was ripped when we arrived. The location was great as it was close to multiple shops, grocery stores, and not far from Destin. We would definitely stay in this unit again in the future!"

"Islander 4007
I vacation to Okaloosa Island every year and this was my favorite condo by far! It was so spacious and so clean! We received our check-in code 2 hours earlier than was expected which was great! The location was perfect and the views were spectacular. The balcony overlooks the pool...I was initially concerned about the noise, but when you are inside the condo you can not hear a peep from the pool.
Some of the added perks to this condo compared to others is that it came stocked with plenty of towels, trash bags, toliet paper and kitchen cookware. The bathrooms were also stocked with travel sized lotion, shampoo and conditioner and there was also one package of dishwasher detergent and one package of laundry soap. Historically, all of those items are additional things I have to purchase at the store. It was greatly appreciated. Thank you.
It was an easy walk to the pool and to the beach. The beach service was also wonderful. He was very poliet, professional, and welcoming. We loved the beach chairs and umbrella right next to the water.
We observed a lot of the staff throughout the property from the maids, the grounds keeper, trashman, pool staff, and construction staff replacing bricks at the pool....everyone was so nice and professional. The grounds, the pool, and the beach were so clean and you could tell that the staff strived to maintain the grounds each day.
I have zero complaints about this property and I am looking forward to booking it again in the future. My only suggestion is that I wish there were some blankets in the condo for curling up on the couch at night or for added weight on the beds for sleeping, but this is not a deal breaker. I could always buy one at the store on my next visit. Thank you for a wonderful vacation. ✈����⛱����"

"We’ll be back!
This condo was great. Very clean! It had everything we needed. Plenty of soft towels and linens. Beautifully decorated. The view of the ocean was prefect, we loved the big balcony. Easy check in/check out with the hospitality app and the Amazon alexia was such a nice bounce. Our next trip will be at 4007 The Islander. "

This rental was better than expected. It was very clean,and spacious with a beautiful view. It’s in a perfect location close to nice restaurants and attractions. The chairs and umbrellas being set up everyday was such a nice perk as well. "

"Nice condo and beach but...
The condo was really nice. Clean, roomy, great view. Balcony large and comfortable. But after we booked we received an email saying they would be working on the walkways during our stay but it should have no affect on us. Well holy cow it was awful. LOUD sanding noise all day even in Saturday starting at 9AM. Couldn’t converse because it was so loud in the condo. Had to yell. Should have been informed of this before we booked. Is that the rental agency’s fault? I would stay here again but I would make sure no maintenance was being done first. "

"Islander 4007
We enjoyed our stay in the Islander 4007. We had 4 condos for our family, and 4007 was about in the middle for quality of furnishings and comfort. There is no sink disposal, which the other 3 units had. The furnishings are old but still comfortable. The living area had a couch, love seat, and chair, so seating was adequate. There were 6 table chairs but no bar stools. The balcony needs a high table and chairs to see over the rail to better enjoy the view. The other units had that. The unit was clean, and the island decor was old but nice. Overall, it was an enjoyable unit. Everything worked, except the bathtub drain in the en-suite bathroom was extremely slow. I would stay in this unit again. Put that tall table on the balcony. "

"Girls Only Beach Trip ~ 2019

"The Islander
This was our first time to visit Okaloosa Island. We loved it. The beach was not as crowded. We loved that the room came with 2 complimentary beach chairs. The rental experience went smoothly. We also loved we didn’t have to go to a different facility to pick up parking passes, etc. The unit itself was good enough for our family. The 2nd bedroom closet doors liked to come off their tracks. One outlet in the kitchen did not seem to work. The shower rods were rusty. Overall the condo was great with no real issues. We loved the view and enjoyed being right above the pool. Also, the elevator wait was never bad. "

"Spring break
Everything was wonderful. I was very happy with the condo. It was beautiful and clean. I would definitely love to go back there again."
Apr 16, 2019 - , Fort Walton Beach, FL
"Beautiful Condo
We were so pleased with the condo, with the exception of the bedroom carpets. They need cleaning! Our feet were black after walking on them. The kitchen also needs some storage containers. But, the condo was really cute and comfy. It was very clean (with exception to the carpet) It was quiet and the views were awesome! The pool was great and beach access was the best! We had to leave due to Michael, but we will be back! I would give 5 stars if the carpet wasn't in such bad shape. Thanks Brooks and Shorey!"

"Great Beach Week
The weather was rainy off and on but we were able to enjoy the beautiful beach for a while each day. The condo is very nice and was clean. The only suggestions I would make would be to purchase a few good knives and although you are told to bring paper towels it would be nice to have an inexpensive starter roll as there were no paper towels at all. We enjoyed this condo and would stay again."
Oct 05, 2018 - , Jonesborough, TN
"Pretty close to paradise
The view from our room was breathtaking (and is the same for every room at the resort). The beach is clean and well cared for by the staff. They were always happy to help and made sure chairs and umbrellas were set up early in the morning. The pool was also very clean--we watched them scrub/vacuum the pool and test the water every morning. We loved the convenience of being a short drive to restaurants in Ft. Walton Beach and Destin, but definitely far from the typical Gulf crowds. The amenities included in our package (the discounted rates for boat tours, snorkeling, movies, etc.) were big helps in getting our family to experience some more of what the area has to offer. I can't say enough about what an amazing experience we had, and recommend this resort enthusiastically."

"Nice unit
We stayed with our daughter, son in law and granddaughter. The unit had plenty of room for us. Only problem the guest room was a little tight with the pack n play. My only suggestions is blackout curtains for the bedroom windows as we like it really dark when we sleep. We definitely would stay again."

"Islander 4007 & Brooks and Shorey Highly Recommended
Unit was clean, great location. Brooks and Shorey is on top of their game. Outstanding communication from the time we booked the unit. I would recommend using Brooks and Shorey, they are as professional as it gets. Real people answering the phones,they were polite and informational. Outstanding individuals.Thank you."

"Enjoyed the property.....but unit was dirty mess
no one told us the sink was leaking in the kitchen and they had a bucket under it, we had to find out the hard way once bucket was full and we had to clean up a mess.YUCK, the dinning room chairs where so dirty we never sat on them, the carpet in the bedrooms super dirty, feet got black just walking on them and there is no way the cleaning service swept or mopped any of the floors, ceiling fans had BLACK dirt on them 3 inches thick and Zero hangers in the closets to hang any clothes, living room furniture was nice, more dirt to report, but I am out of characters to type"

"Nice family friendly property
The Islander is a nice property. This particular unit was very clean and comfortable. This unit is also right over the pool and has a beautiful direct view of the beach. We chose this unit because it allowed us to keep an eye on our teens from the balcony. Parking was easy and close. The complimentary beach chair service is nice too. "

Our family of 4 really enjoyed the condo and the beach."

"Nice
I was a little worried about renting this condo because I could not find many reviews. I had nothing to worry about it was just as expected. Very Clean, Not overly fancy just general appliances but they all worked great. I would have liked for the coffee maker to have a timer so coffee brewed when I get up but that sure was not a huge problem. Take your own hair dryer I could not find one. I would also suggest taking your own wash cloth for removing makeup as you could be charged for stains to the white ones there. The view is just awesome. The grilling area was never messy or over crowded. I had read that the beach service was rude at times but we in no way had that problem they was so friendly and helpful. The pool area was not over crowded and kept very clean. Overall we was very happy with our stay in 4007 and would rent again. I had left my Ipad by the pool total my fault but I notified the front desk and wham the next day someone turned it in and the front desk called my right away. Check in and out was super easy I downloaded their app. "

"So so
Condo needed some updating and additional cleaning. Great view from balcony. Mince that the umbrellas were provided without additional cost."
Jun 08, 2017 - , Dallas, TX
"Beautiful Location-Less than Adequate Condo
The living room couch & love seat were both filthy from sunscreen. Floor tiles in kitchen were chipped and not clean. Three light bulbs were burned out (we changed two but could not find a third bulb). The phone was not working...we called twice for maintenance and no one ever came. Didn't have phone service the entire week. Vertical blinds were not functioning properly and had slats completely missing. We asked PRIOR to booking if they ever had complaints because of noise as the pool is located just below the unit's balcony. We were told it should not be an issue. It was an issue until 10:00 almost every night. Twice we had someone ring the doorbell...once it was kids running the hall ringing all the bells and the second time it was a exterminator wanting to enter the unit to spray for bugs.
Did I mention we were there for a funeral and would have preferred less issues from a condo that was certainly not up to required standards at this price point.

"Fabulous vacation getaway
We had a wonderful stay here! The condo was very clean and well decorated. The fully furnished kitchen made cooking meals quick and easy. Not to mention, the fabulous view from the balcony overlooking the beach made for a great place to gather and enjoy our meals. The beds were very comfortable and the en suite washer and dryer were very convenient. We plan to return in the future and will be renting this unit again! MUCH better than staying in a hotel. Thanks again! "

We had a great time. Location of condo is very close to elevator with a geat view of the pool, beach and Gulf. Condo was just like the web pictures very nice and clean and worked great.
Short drive to restaurants and grocery store.
Brooks and Shorey was very helpfull when you call and send emails that are very helpful in process. They also have a phone app that is full of information after you rent. I would certainly rent unit again. "

"a couple complaints
The condo was nice. Had a problem with air conditioner freezing up. This led to a small water leak.This was taken care of. A couple of the amenities need changed. The movie portal did not work. we were told to go to a different condo facility that was not close to ours. There was no sign on the machine that it was not working either. The free golf course is horrendous. Shalimar may have been nice 20 years ago. now it is awful."

"Great location, great condo, just a few issues.
The location was great. Amenities on the grounds were good...except there was a pretty big disconnect between and Islander Beach Resort. We received a DVD rental card, but it didn't apply to the DVD rental box that was on location. We had to go to some random restaurant about a mile away. Not worth it so we didn't even use it. There were no linens for the pull out sleeper sofa. We had to call Brooks and Shorey. Someone arrived with linens within the hour. The actual sleeper sofa was awful! It was old, stained, and the most uncomfortable one I've ever felt. Needs to be replaced asap. There was only one extra pillow--good thing a few of us brought our own. Also, the lady at the front desk wasn't very helpful with anything except saying "call Brooks and Shorey". It would have been nice if they could have accommodated with issues insight.
Overall, good stay just a big disconnect between the property and property management. "

We had a fabulous and relaxing time, and the property was as pictured. Easy to stay in and easy to access, the condo had easy beach access, complimentary beach service, and movie rentals. It was great to find a two bedroom on the beach at an affordable price. "
Apr 20, 2015 - Tosha C., Maylene, AL
"Great location in need of some improvements
The check in process at the property management office was very easy. The young lady who processed our check in was very knowledgeable but sounded like a recording with a monotone voice in sharing the usual information about the property we were checking into. Yes, it is the "high season" and busy but we were the only ones in the office and felt rushed.
Property was a great location with excellent beach access. The unit was above the pool so you do hear people noise but folks did mind the curfew rule which was At 10 pm.
As for the unit amenities, coffee pot needs updating as you cannot pull out pot to pour one cup, it continues to drip. If possible, bring your own pillows. The ones there were flat as a board. Dryer made a loud noise when you started it and we had issues with the TV screen showing the picture when you turned it on. Housekeeping could do a better job as we found some food under the couch. Cabinets doors and light switches had a build up of dirt on the ledges and could use a good wipe down. Over all the unit was okay for a short stay but for the price, I would be disappointed if our stay was longer. "

Beautiful view...condo was nice but not exceptional...information and check in at Realty Company was helpful... check in at Islander location was not friendly...woman working at desk was having a conversation with someone and totally ignored me for about 5 minutes... I had to move closer to them and interrupt to get my parking tag...and why do you need two?... why can't renters use the DVD machine on the premises instead of having to drive down the street?"

Pretty good, tubs did not drain good, shower curtain was dirty. We stay on 4th right above pool, too much noise and kids screaming. And the tall lip at sliding door, way too high. But we enjoyed ourselves."

This rental needs a good scrubbing, updating, and new furniture. Carpet should be removed. The kitchen supplies were inadequate. Certainly not worth the rental fee charged. That being said, the balcony is spacious with a wonderful view of the gulf. "

"Wonderful Time
We have stayed at The Islander on several occasions and have never been disappointed in the condos or the service. This condo was very clean - the only exception was one of the comforters on one of the beds did not appear clean. The comforter was picked up almost immediately to be cleaned when we contacted the management company, but it was never returned during our stay. It would have been nice to have a clean replacement. Other than this minor complaint, we were very satisfied and had a wonderful time. The beach and the weather were beautiful, and it was thrilling to see the dolphins so close to the shoreline - we had never seen them so close before."
Oct 13, 2012 - , McDonough, GA
"No Hot tub?!
I have stayed here many times and have yet to be unsatisfied. The location is great and the condo was very nice. The pool is large and I like that it is on the beach side of the building. I was a little disappointed, however, to discover the hot tub was removed. It wasn't really warm enough last year, but at least it was there. Overall, great stay and I will be back!"

"Family Vacation
We rented 5 condos in the Islander Beach Resort for our yearly family vacation. Every one of the units was very clean. One of the units only had a small sofa with two chairs in the living area but the others had sofa, love seat and at least one chair. The patio furniture was old in a couple of the units. The pool, beach access and views are fabulous!
The "beach boys" were very courteous and helpful. Every day they put our chairs out in a semi-circle like we asked them to on the first day.
Thanks for a great vacation"

"Family Vacation June 11-15, 2012
It has been years since we'd been to Fort Walton Beach and decided to go there this year as opposed to Gulf Shores. Found this property available for the week we had planned for our vacation. We really loved this unit! The location was excellent! The extra-large balcony overlooking the pool and beach was an added plus. There was plenty of room for four adults to sit around the table for a meal and still have room to walk around the balcony. The unit itself was very roomy and was furnished and maintained very well. The king-size beds in each of the bedrooms were very comfortable. We will definitely be coming back to this unit and use the property agent again! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!"

"Wonderful Vacation!
This was our first trip to Fort Walton Beach and we had a great time! The condo was wonderful! There were so many perks: the location to the elevator, the large balcony, the fully stocked kitchen, and the nice bedrooms. The pool was great, too! We also enjoyed having two chairs and an umbrella waiting on us at the beach each day. We certainly recommend this unit and we hope to go back soon! "

"Peace on the Beach
Having stayed in this unit last year, we eagerly anticipated returning all during the year up north. Having stayed at various places on the Island during out eleven years down here, we only regret we hadn't found this unit before. Love, the location, the layout and the furniture. It suits us to a "T." and we look forward to another two and a half months."

The floors in the condo need a good cleaning. Lots of crud in the corners shows they just get a quick wipe down. For a weekend stay it was very enjoyable and comfortable. B&S resorts were very courteous and helpfull during our stay.

"Lovely place
We really enjoyed this condo. I only have 2 complaints. First, the tile floors need a good bleach scrubbing. With two small children running barefoot, the tile turned feet black quickly. Also, the elevator is slow and HOT!!!! Neither of those things ruined our trip, and I would happily stay here again!"

"Disappointed
I have been staying at the Islander for several years. Although the overall Islander Property is good, I was very disappointed in the condition of the condo we stayed in this year. Furniture quality was low, dishwasher was unattached and was a hazard to use, overall quality of this condo was not good. "

"The Islander 4007
Enjoyed our stay at
the Islander. Great location, right on the beach. Beautiful view. Unit needed updating. Couldn't lower ac below 75 or the unit would freeze up."

"overall good stay
We always love staying at the Islander and stay in the same room. This time it wasn't as clean as it usually is. Dishes were put away wet and had puddles of water in-between the plates and pans were not cleaned well. Corners and edges of floors need to be cleaned better. Not enough tp for a whole week's stay for 4 people. We love the pool but dislike people smoking and drinking around it. We will continue to stay at these properties though...great beach location..."

"
this unit was not up to the standards we have enjoyed in the past. The unit was not very clean, there was mold in the master bathroom, the wireless was not working, there were not enough luggage carts available on checkin and the kitchen equipment was less than expected as compared to other units in the same location."

My fiance and I got married on the beach in the early morning. We went last year and loved it. We decided to come again this and get married. It was a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you Brooks and Shorey!!!"

What a fabulous vacation! A perfect location, great beach, wonderful condo and so clean! We took advantage of the amenities including golf and the dolphin cruise. Elliot had our beach chairs ready every morning. We didn't want to leave. Great trip-we'll be back!"

"Have been coming to The Islander many years. We always have an enjoyable stay. Would recommend it to anyone.
The Old Bay Steamer is an excellent restaurant. I would recommend grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Grocery store is very expensive."

"The location is great but condo was not up to past experiences.
We have stayed at the Islander many times and always been extremely happy with the property but this time was not one of our better experiences. The condo wasn't as nice as those we have previously stayed in. The sleeper sofa had crumbs on and under the mattress. We found silverfish in the Condo upon arrival and again after several days. The dustpan and electric broom were pretty much useless when trying to sweep the floor. The sliding glass door was so hard to slide that we had trouble everytime we tried to use the balcony. The dishwasher worked but it sound like it was about to give it up. The management sent someone out to spray for bugs and to sweep the sofabed right away but had already cleaned as much as we could with the lame electric broom. We have sent several people to the Islander in the past, but are having second thoughts about returning ourselves. "

Everything was great! The only note of caution I would give is that if you balcony doors are open, the condo door slams shut really hard."

Upon check in, the remotes for both bedroom TV's were not working properly. I called the next morning and management sent out someone immediately and corrected the problem. Weather was great and the condo was in excellent condition. Thanks for a great vacation stay."

THE ISLANDER IS A WONDERFUL PLACE TO STAY! CLOSE TO ALOT OF GOOD RESTAURANTS.
AND CLOSE TO THE BEACH TOO. DOESN'T REQUIRE A LONG WALK WHILE LOADED DOWN WITH BEACH STUFF. WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF OUR FREE TICKET & DID THE DOLPHIN CRUISE.
LOTS OF FUN & INFORMATION. OUR LONG WKEND JUST WENT BY TOO FAST. GOT TO GO AGAIN."

This is the 3rd time we have stayed there. I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of our unit. We had dishes that were stuck together they were so sticky and our master bedroom bed had crumbs or something of that nature on it. I would have to say I will probably stay somewhere else next time.

"Best condo ever!!!
We have stayed many places in Ft. Walton, Destin, and Okaloosa Island and this is by far the nicest condo ever. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and very clean. We will definitely stay here on our next trip!! "

"Loved the condo
Very bright, cheery and lots of room. View was outstanding and being further down from the bridge there was a lot less traffic.
Tried to stay one more night but couldn't afford full price. Despite the fact that this was our second year to book through Brooks and Shorey and we already stayed five nights, they would not offer a discount and the room was available. So they collected $0 for that night!"

"
The only problems I can think was the
refrigerator did not keep our food cold. We contacted managmene and they did not have a replacement and could not help us until the following week. We stored our food in ice chest and they never came back and checked on the refrigerator. The dumpster had a strong smell when you went out the door and waited for the elevator. "

"OK Stay!!
My family has been using , Inc. for vacation rental at the Islander for many years, but I would have to say that Condo 4007 was not as nice as the other Condo's we have stayed in. "

"Family Style fun
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Islander Beach Resort for Spring Break 2008. The floor plan of the room allowed for a fantastic view of the ocean! Elliott, the beach attendant, did a wonderful job keeping the beach clean and organized. The large pool was clean and warm. Having a washer/dryer in the room was a huge bonus! We would definitely stay there again. "
