This is an older property that has recently been refurbished. The upgrades are quite nice. Rooms are large and very accommodating. Nicely appointed, clean, and well kept. The property is a great location, down by the "mouth" of the inter-coastal, so it sits on a wonderful beach, close to every thing for eats and attractions, but secluded like, with just... More

Destin's a nice beach location, but this condo leaves a lot to be desired. The overall complex is aging and in need of upgrading. It's not exactly on the beach and pictures are quite misleading. Our actual condo was really old feeling and campy--kitchen was especially bad. The little bit of the beach that is the Islander's is very crowded. More

Islander Experience What an experience planning a wedding out of state was to say a bit stressful however, with all said and done it could not have been better. My groom and I decided to move our 11/11/11 wedding from Las Vegas to Destin, FL to accommodate more family members. After much research we decided on the Islander Condos having... More

Great town. Good beaches. Very nice condos. The service is always good. The rooms are always clean and very nicely furnished. Last trip, Hurricane Lee hit. Even with the rain and wind, we still had a great time. More

This was our fourth year to stay at the Islander. We missed last year because they were doing the major renovation, but we came back this year. We followed the progress on their website and couldn't wait to make our regular September run to Destin. The Islander makeover is spectacular and done in the very best taste. We noted all... More

What can I say to convey the level of satisfaction and good vibes my family and I left this condo with this year? The unit was super clean and stocked with goodies in the kitchen... i.e. we made our own popsicles with the popsicle molds provided. The beds were comfy and sheets nice linens and snuggle fresh. The location was... More

Stayed in room 702 on seventh floor. Great unobstructed view of the beach. Balcony, two well appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms and full kitchen. Carpeted floors was a nice touch so we didn't have to sweep sand all of the time. Nice pool and hot tub and easy access to the beach. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Only minor drawbacks was...

We stayed in Unit 710 this year and the Gulf View was gorgeous. The condo is clean, updated and spacious. Pools are well taken care of and the free beach umbrella and chairs was a huge plus. Can't wait to come back! More

Our family just returned from vacation at The Islander in Destin, FL room 718. It was obvious that the condo had undergone recent renovations. It was very nice. The location was great, the service was superb, the staff was very friendly. There wasn't a lot of noise. It was a peaceful, relaxing vacation and the view was exquisite. We will... More
