"Great location and views, but don’t book planning to use sofa bed
My family had a great time other than not being able to use the sofa bed (frame broken and padding was extra thin). Would have given all 5 stars except for the sofa bed. Would definitely book again if sofa bed was usable."

"Vacation stay
We absolutely love this place great location. We come to vacation down there at least once or twice a year and we use this room every single time. Can't beat the view and me and my wife love the way that the inside is set up!! You will not be disappointed!! Easy check in and check out"

"Lovely beach view
It was great and quiet stay overall. The only negative things I have are the bed was very uncomfortable and headboard kept hitting the wall everytime you move in the bed which was annoying because I didn’t want neighbors to complain if we had any and the dishes were not clean at all, I pulled out a pan that had crumbs in it and a bowl that was very greasy so I didn’t like I basically had to wash my dishes before I used them. We are having our wedding there next year in May and that’s why we chose to stay in one of the condos there, it is a little scary because I don’t want my family and friends to experience those things as they are very picky but it’s a nice little resort."

"Islander 7004
Although the unit walls were nicely decorated, the furniture was terrible! It was so saggy, we needed to help each other up! The dining room table was very sticky. It had been repainted & then coated with something! Also, this unit is not ADA compliant. As retirees, we found getting in & out of the tiny bathtub difficult. This is not a unit we would stay in again! "

"Islander 7004
Overall good experience. The room says it sleeps 6 but is small. The pull out couch was not useable due to brown stains on the mattress, which is likely a spilled coke or something similar but looked bad so we did not use it to sleep 2 of us! The master bedroom had a dead roach between the fitted sheet & top sheet!!! The ceiling fan in the twin bed room has a terrible ticking noise but thankfully there was a box fan in the closet we used & turned off the ceiling fan. "

"Best Beach Trip Ever
My family spent last week in Fort Walton Beach.
The place was nice and clean, the gulf had water blue and pretty, dolphins jumping in the Gulf. Sitting on the balcony you could see it all.

"Awesome Condo
This condo was perfect for our vacation! It’s so nice, great location, and a beautiful beach. We loved the beach chair service. We saw dolphins everyday from our balcony. It was the best way to start our mornings. We were already recommending to friends during our stay. The entire process with Brooks and Shorey was so easy from day one. We hope to be back next year! "

"Great location and amazing view!
This condo was everything we anticipated. It was in a great location and had a great view from the balcony. The beach was never over crowded and the water was beautiful. The inside of the condo was very clean and nice. I would definitely like to plan a return trip here in the future. "

"Summer vacation
The view was fabulous. Resort super clean. Only problem we had was one of the beds sheets was pulled down and we couldn't tell if it was clean. There were extras for the couch that we used. Problem solved. Over all a great stay. IMiss matched furniture was right on with other reviews. Would stay again."

"Very Comfortable Stay with a Spectacular View!
From beginning to end, we were more than satisfied with this experience! Brooks and Shorey is an excellent management company, a special thanks to Elizabeth, Jessica and Crystal who kept us informed of anything we needed to know, they were so professional. Check in time was prompt, to the minute, as promised. When we arrived, the unit was immaculately cleaned, we were pleasantly surprised! The condo was supplied with clean towels, even brand new towels in the kitchen! The kitchen was more than adequately equipped. The view was spectacular! Amenities were great and complimentary beach chairs were a plus! The condo was so comfortable, we didn't want to leave! Our A/ C went out, but Brooks and Shorey addressed it the same day smoothly and without interruption to us. The restaurants in this area are abundant and one is better than the last. Overall, a great experience!! We hope to return! Thank you for a great 2 weeks!"

"02-08-2023 Stay
Great location, furniture in living room and dining area need to be updated.
A deep cleaning had been done before we arrived. The tv's had been and the stove had been disconnected.
Condo owners have a right to have pets on the property, but it upset me when the pets urinate in the walkways and elevators."
Mar 09, 2023 - Roger N., Grinnell, Iowa
"Disappointing...
This property was very clean and well prepared for our visit. The kitchen was well equipped. Unfortunately, this condo is due for an update. Sagging furniture in the living room was not very comfortable. The toilet in the master is loose and one outlet in the wall is VERY loose. The closets are off track in the master as well. It’s time for a paint job.
We have stayed at B and S Rentals every year since 2003. This rental was not up to your standards."

"Relaxing
The unit had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed our time on the balcony. The high table and chairs allowed the shorter ones with us to see over the balcony railing rather than through it. The staff at Brooks and Shorey were very responsive to an appliance issue we had. One elevator was out during our stay but that caused very little inconvenience as there was another working elevator (helpful when you're on the 7th floor)."

"Islander
Overall, the complex was in great condition. It was unfortunate and would’ve been very helpful to have known prior to arrival that the main board walk to the beach was going to be under repair and not usable for our entire stay. After some maintenance workers waterlogged some of the elevator controls, there were elevator issues for most of our stay wear one or both or not working at different times. The staff was incredibly friendly and landscaping was on point. And as usual, anytime I needed to speak with Brooks and Shorey the staff was always incredibly friendly and helpful."

"Ocean view
Our stay was amazing, the ocean view every morning was definitely a highlight of the trip. The location is only 15min drive to destin, restaurants and the pier were a close drive as well. The condo itself was kept clean, could use some updating but overall was clean space. "

"Family of 4 Beach Getaway
My husband and I along with our 6 and 9 year old children stayed here for a long weekend getaway on the beach. The location was perfect! We had a direct view of the beach which was a wonderful way to start and end our day. The accommodations we perfect for our family of 4. We had an unexpected problem when one of the tube drains became clogged. One call to the after hours line and someone came first thing in the morning to fix the problem. The only suggestion that I would have is replacement of the throw pillows on the couch which were very dirty. However, the rest of the stay was great."

We had a wonderful stay and would definately stay there again. The views and location were great. Beach chair service a plus. Condo was clean and as described. Complex was peaceful and clean. Recycling containers need to be provided. As for our unit, the kitchen appliances need upgraded and overall some fresh paint. Bathroom fixtures function fine but are dated. Master bath needs lighting in shower area. None of these things would keep us from renting this unit again. "

Great beach front condo, with nice decor. The condo was very clean and provided the basic utensils for cooking. "

"Great Vacation
The condo and furnishings are beautiful. The condo is well maintained and very, very clean. The location is near Destin which gives you more options for shopping and eating. It was perfect. We enjoyed the view of the beach and the comfortable chairs on the balcony. The 2 free chairs and umbrella on the beach were great and the walk to the beach is short and easy. Our son enjoyed the free golf. The course is not far and is a very nice course. As you can tell, we loved our stay at the Islander #7004.

"Perfect Beach View!
This condo was absolutely perfect for my husband and our 1 year old son. We loved the great ocean view and spent every night out on the balcony listening to the ocean. The condo was a 30 second walk to the pool or beach and we really enjoyed the chair/umbrella service. The location was definitely more relaxed than further down the beach in busier Destin and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. The condo itself was clean and had plenty of amenities and kitchen items. We never felt overcrowded and felt safe walking around at night. I would definitely stay here again!"

"Awesome as usual
Very nice unit we stayed in. Great floor plan with the extra wide view. We stayed in similar place but in 5006 last year. Was initially concerned with the left wall obstructing the view but it was not as prominent as I thought it would be. Still great view of the beach. This unit is proof that you don't need granite counter tops to have a nice condo. Great decor thoughout. A great plus for me were the firm matresses which our a plus for my back. Just need a bluray player with netflix and other apps for those rainy days. Would stay here again. My wife concurs with this review, haha. She loved the tile."

Aside from being in a tornado, seeing a man fishing from the shore catch what looked like a shark, and having the fire alarm go off at 10pm one nite, it was a very relaxing week! Would certainly return."

"Great Vacation
We really enjoyed vacationing at the Islander 7004. The pictures are accurate and the condo is clean and well taken care of. When we had a few minor issues such as the cable going out or a light that was not working, maintenance was there immediately to fix the problem. The pool and beach are amazing!!! I would highly recommend this rental to families and friends. We loved going on a snorkeling,dolphin cruise through Destin Snorkel, Andy was a great captain. We also loved the BBQ place called Moe's. Amazing food and good prices. The only drawback to this location is that nothing is within walking or biking distance but not a huge deal. Destin is a short trip by car but was made difficult with heavy traffic on spring break. The condo was stocked with everything you would need and provided us with a FANTASTIC vacation!"

Loved it! Beautiful view from the balcony. The layout and decor was nice. Had everything stocked in the kitchen for cooking. The beds were very firm which hurt me to sleep on. The white walls and baseboards could use a fresh coat of paint to make it feel cleaner. It was very well kept and I highly recommend. We will be back!"

"Loved this place!!
We loved our 5 night stay at The Islander 7004!! It was exactly like the pictures, and actually exceeded our expectations! So comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed. The location was great, the beach was amazing, and the view-- Gorgeous!! We even saw dolphins from the balcony. Okaloosa Island is very laid back, but still close enough to enjoy all the activities in Destin. Some of our favorites: Southern Star Dolphin Cruise, Fudpucker's, Big Kahuna's water park, Gulfarium, The Back Porch, and The Track! We had a great time, and if we come back to Destin in the future, we will be staying at The Islander 7004!"

"Fantastic vacation spot! Would definitely stay here again!
The suite was very clean, well-equipped, and had a great view of the ocean. We spent a fair amount of time on the balcony. From our vantage point on the 7th floor, we were able to see dolphins swimming by. The wi-fi signal was strong. The TV was modern. The beds were very comfortable. It had a very homelike feel. It was a place we looked forward to coming back to after going out.
Not only was unit wonderful, the building, grounds and pool were well maintained.
It's a place we would definitely like to go back to.
Brooks & Shorey was VERY helpful in locating this property (as I was scrambling to find something). The check-in/check-out process was painfree and easy. "

"Had a Great Time
We had a wonderful time. The place was clean and had a GREAT view with comfortable patio furniture. Two issues: the drainage in the master bath was very slow and clogged. Not fun standing in water during a shower. The master bed mattress is very hard. And we like firm mattresses and have them at home. This was too hard and uncomfortable to sleep on, but we adjusted. Told the rental management company about both concerns and said they would look into them. Would rent this place again if both issues were resolved. We really liked the building, location and rental company."

"We Loved It!!!
We had the most wonderful time at Fort Walton! Our condo was perfect, and it had a perfect view as well. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. The access to the beach was easy and close. Our next trip to Florida will be at Fort Walton and we will be requesting "our" condo! Thank you for sharing!"

"Not Quite What We Were Expecting
I wouldn't quite describe this condo as lavish. It is a lot smaller than the pictures show. The cameras real estate companies use today misrepresent properties so we have now learned a lesson. The bedrooms had room for nothing else except the beds and the dresser; not even luggage. The bathrooms and kitchen are very much in need of updating. It is time to replace the mattresses. As you can tell we were disappointed upon arriving and seeing our home away from home for five days. However, the condo was very clean and we had a very good time. The beach was beautiful and we always had chairs and an umbrella available. We found excellent restaurants close to the condo and in Destin. I would not recommend this property until the condo was updated. "

"Great getaway!

"Great Condo!
We just got done staying at the Islander 7004 and we had a great time! Check in was very easy. We got there early so we just enjoyed the beach and venturing around, then they called us and and got us in our room early, bonus!!! The property premises were nice and well taken care of. Pool was always clean and large enough to never feel crowded. The condo was exactly as described and perfect for us and our 4 small children. The view was awesome, easy to get up and down the elevator to the beach/pool. Loved having all the amenities of home especially the washer/dryer. Bed was comfy, lots of extra towels, supply closet had beach toys, skim boards, and a boogie board to enjoy on the beach. The location was perfect because it was just a short 5-10 min drive into Destin for excursions/favorite restaurants but the area of the condo/beach was less crowded. Highly recommend! We will be back!"

"Best gulf water, beach and accommodation
Great way to spend time with grandson and wife. Although they live on Ft Eglin Base, they felt like they were away on vacation when they stayed at the condo. The condo was on the 7th floor and the view was spectacular allowing us to see a variety of sea life, boat activity, military activity in the air and abundant beach activity. The condo was very comfortable, well equipped and nicely decorated. We did most of our meals at the condo as well as visiting a few restaurants. Our favorite meal was seafood at Stewbys and we purchased fresh caught gulf shrimp from Gulf Coast Seafood several times to prepare at the condo. Brooks and Shorey staff was pleasant and immediately responded and took care of a few mechanical problems we had during our two week stay. "

Our stay at the Islander was amazing. This was the first time we stayed in a condo and after this experience won't stay anywhere else. The bedrooms were small but the rest of the unit was very spacious. The view was amazing and had plenty of seating for meals or relaxing. The unit was clean and overall well maintained. The 2 things that caused a very minor inconvenience were the washer not running unless a chair was propped against the door to keep it shut all the way and the shower head in the bathroom spraying water outside the shower. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! "

"NIce home away from home!
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. There were four of us on this trip and the minute we walked in, we were impressed. The condo is nice and was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and appliances. Also, the strength of the wifi signal was great. Two teenaged girls and a "techie" husband were happy about that. My husband fished the pier (5 minute drive) while we girls hung out on the beach. The ammenities package was nice also. We went on a dolphin cruise on the SEA BLASTER and had a great time. Free movie rentals were a hit. Fudpuckers was our favorite place to eat, It was well worth the money. Our only dissapointment was that there is not a view to the East from the balcony because of the buiding wall being in the way. We couldn't tell from the pictures that the wall sticks out on the East side. All in all,we loved Okaloosa Island! This was our first trip to the area and we were impressed. "
Jun 07, 2015 - Angela B., Shelbyville, TN
"Great week away!
Our stay was fantastic! The pool size and location is the best of the surrounding properties. And the view was also excellent due to the proximity to the Ocean. The condo itself was clean and comfortable. I love the layout of the condo. My only complaint about the room would be the sofa sleeper is in rough shape and probably should be replaced. Everything else was up to par. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, glasses, and utensils. Overall our stay was wonderful. "

This was my first time back to the beach in many years. This rental was accommodating & very welcoming. It was exactly how I pictured it would be. It had everything I/we needed. Fully furnished to accommodate all of our needs. This condo I will never forget because I will remember this was the placed I proposed to my girlfriend.

"great resort great location
The room and view is exactly what you see. I loved the balcony size and
Its high enough that you are not bothered by pool noise. Location is close to so many restaurants and fun. Only thing not mentioned is you are only allowed 2 chairs from resort on beach so if there is 4 of you, you need to pay 20 $....not a deal killer just wanted to give feedback."
Jun 09, 2014 - Barb E., Livonia, MI
"Beautiful Location
Great value and location. Took my family of 6 grown children and this unit fit us perfectly. Nice views of beach overlooking the pool. The only 2 complaints are the elevators are scary, thought we were going to get stuck in one the doors slammed shut unevenly and it would not move so we decided to only ride the other elevator but its moves very slow. The other complaint is the carpets were pretty dirty, where you walk through from living to porch that is why I only gave it 4 stars on general condition, its not a deal breaker and we would gladly stay here again. At check it they were very pleasant, recommending places to eat and full of information about the area. Overall we are happy with the great value and place and will come back again. "

Upon our arrival, both elevators were not working. Just awful considering we were on the top (7th) floor! Dragged 5 suitcases up to the 7th floor....not a great way to start a vacation. They worked off and on for the next few days. Really terrible when they did work, as they were very slow, and you were worried you might get trapped....and heard someone did get trapped. When you pay so much for a condo, you know that much of that goes to maintaining the who is not maintaining?? You hold your guests to certain standards or they will be charged extra fees, yet you are not held to the same standards?? We even saw a young man with crutches trying to navigate the stairs, and had we had elderly guests with us, there is NO way we could have stayed at The Islander. Really dissappointing that such a nice location and nice clean condo experience was severly dampened due to the elevator problem...."

"Overall Nice Vacation
The condo is exactly how it appears on website. Nice but overpriced. The sheets/matress pad in master bedroom were not as clean as I expected. I reported to office but they seemed unconcerned but replaced bedding as requested. Still a nice condo with a good view."

"Amazing views!
We had a great time at the Islander! The condo was more spacious that we expected and the layout was perfect. The view was amazing! My only complaint would be that the elevators are slow and HOT. Other than that it was a wonderful week in paradise!"

"Great Early Season Get Away
The condo was really nice. We were concerned about being so high up but could see the water perfectly. Have stayed at Islander before but this was one of the better condos. Only drawback the twin beds are really small. Too short for my 18-year-old son."

"fun in the sun
the staff was great but it was 0540 when we got in our one out of two condo there was bar soap and a dirty brush in the main bathroom and the carpet in the condos look like they needed shampoo, where was the hot tub? there was not one and the elevator was very bad my son and i and my sister in law did the stairs most of the time, the fire alarm went off because of the elevator lol the movie rental did not work. and the doors did not lock the glass ones they were crazy to close lol but the view and pool was great,, i just did not like having to drive 3 times to get the keys.

"IBR 7004
Nice weekend trip to the Gulf. Only stayed 2 nights and did not have interest in "free" amenities, other than the beach chairs and umbrella. We would have preferred to have a more discounted rate than pay for them in the rental package. "

"Our only conplaint was with the condition of the patio furniture. There was a table that was not only unusuable, but probably dangerous for kids to be near. It was rusted all around with sharp edges sticking up.
The outside table needs to be replaced or removed"

"Islander 7004
This condo needs to upgrade the TV to a larger flat screen digital system. Other units have flat screen TVs that are compatible with game systems, This will be a factor in slecting our next rental."

"Girls' Trip 2010
This was our first time to stay with you for our annual Girls' Trip. The people and atmosphere were outstanding. The beach was not too crowded, the water was clear and beautiful, and our condo was topnotch. We will definitely be back. The only complaint we might have is the elevators were somewhat slow and lacked any sort of air ventilation!"

Our room was awesome. It felt more like home than a condo rental. I did not want to leave. We stayed in 7004 and the view was great. The master bed was very comfy. The condo was very clean. I can't say enough good about my stay. I will be back."

Convenient for the kids, with pool and beach right out the door, and close enough to Destin to go for dinner etc but isolated enough to avoid the hustle and bustle"

"Spring Break 2008
This was the 7th year that we have stayed at this property during our Spring Break. We stay with three other families and we all have a wonderful time!
The guys all enjoy the opportunity to play a few rounds of golf during the week and we have even gone on the dolphin cruise a couple of the years.
We like the location A LOT because it isn't in the middle of a busy area and road. The Santa Rosa Blvd is nothing but Condo Bldgs and The Islander is almost to the end so we feel like we are secluded -- NICE! It is a very convenient trip to the grocery store -- PUBLIX which is right down to the end of the Blvd and then to the left over the bridge and an immediate right into the parking lot.
We liked the opportunity to be able to look online and pick our unit this past year. We were able to choose one of the rooms that we stayed at several years ago and loved the decorating. Also, it is nice if you have two siblings of the opposite sex and would prefer twin beds as opposed to a double. Some years that posed a problem when we didn't really know what bedroom the kids would get.
The access to the pool and the beach is great. We love the fact that we can go onto the beach have our beach chairs and umbrella set up and take a break for lunch and go right back out to the same chairs because they are assigned to us. It is great!!
Only complaint is that the property is getting older and some of the condo units need some updating – especially in the kitchens.
We would defininately recommend this property to everyone coming down to the Ft Walton Beach/Desting area!!!

The actual property was beautiful, the unit was well maintained and nicely decorated. Unfortunetly it is managed by Brooks and Shorey, which I found to be disorganized and uninterested in customer service."
