The Islander is in the perfect location- seconds to the beach, and 2 minutes away from restaurants and amenities. Also, if you want to drive a little further, there are some beautiful pavilion beaches and, a must do is a trip to Seaside- a quaint little place, also, it's where they filmed the Truman Show, so you can also see...

We stayed here this May, 2012 with another couple for a week. We could really not ask for more in a condo. Everything was fresh and clean in the condo and the outside maintenance was always top notch. A few things to know that we have discovered since staying here: #1 Laundry room is located on the 2nd floor by... More

The Islander is an awesome place! The staff couldn't have been better to us...true southern hospitality. The condo was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient to everything...restaurants, shopping, fishing areas, public beach access, etc. Gulfshore Drive is a nice place to get in a daily walk/run...pretty scenery and real estate to keep it interesting. Beach and jetty area is... More

I was very pleased overall with the Islander. Pros: For a 2 bedroom condo the price seemed reasonble. Room 706 definitely met our needs. Service was quick for small fixes. Very laid back, family atmosphere. Great for those that like to grill; you can save money and get good food. Cons: Complex really not on the beach but it is... More

This was our first time to Destin and we are very happy with our choice. The Islander is a great place with a great view. The pool is heated and clean, the grounds are well kept and the beach is awesome. The staff is very helpful as well. We will be back!

We have stayed at several places in Destin over 30 years and had not ventured down to the area where this property is. The grounds and facilities have been kept up and the rooms were more spacious than most 2 bedroom units I've stayed along the beach. The only advise for the owners of the properties is to have more... More

The Islander is a very nice property. Condo 213 was lovely and nicely equipped and spotlessly clean.Just beware if you rent from owner or outside agency you are not entitled to linen service or any functions. This was made clear to us by another quest while doing laundry.She said they do not like it if you rent from owners.Even so... More

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

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
