  This condo was just as represented. Mostly updated recently. Great kitchen, comfortable beds, roomy, great view of the beach from the large porch.
  A really nice perk included was having the use of an umbrella and two beach chairs set up daily on the beach.
  This unit was on the 2nd floor at the end of the building and it was so easy to walk down one flight of stairs and access the walkway to the beach.
  Loved the entire experience and have reserved it for next spring! Thank you Brooks and Shorey Resorts for your help in making our new reservation.

  • Manager Responded on 6/2/2022

    We are so pleased to hear that your experience was beyond measure. It really sounds like you found your home away from home and we are ecstatic to hear that you will be returning again next year. We look forward to seeing you back again.

  a guest from Toledo, OH recommends this vacation rental

  We brought our mothers on this trip and they slept well, were comfortable and really enjoyed the view from our condo. The 4 of us had plenty of room really enjoyed the great decor and the furniture was comfortable. We did have maintenance come to tighten the table as it wobbled and they showed up quickly. We did frequently trip stepping out on balcony but there is nothing that can be done for that. We would definitely recommend this unit. We would recommend the property owners do something about the slippery steps getting into the pool several people including myself slipped. As a result I have missed work and will probably need a surgery to fix my knee.

  • Manager Responded on 9/13/2021

  We were pleasantly surprised that the condo had been updated from the photos that were posted. Everything appeared to be clean and in order. The view was great and close to the ocean so we could hear the waves. The beaches and pool were just what we were wanting. It was close driving distance to the restaurants and attractions but still on the quiet and of the beach. Loved it and would stay again.

  a guest from Greensborrow, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Because we are older and spend less time on the beach, the balcony view is our most essential rental requirement. The Islander has a great view. However, the dunes have gotten so high that you cannot see the beach from the 2nd floor. (This is great in that higher dunes provide more protection) The view of the gulf is still wonderful, but seeing the beach is limited, expecially at high tide. You can still see people's upper body walking on the beach but not see the beach. We like to sit on the balcony and watch family on the beach. Otherwise, 2002 is very comfortable (has two recliners). I would recommend 2002.

  • Manager Responded on 1/3/2019

    Thank you so much for this great review of wonderful unit 2002..we appreciate all your feedback from your stay. What a gorgeous 2018 we had and we are looking forward to 2019 being as great...come back soon!

  Jennifer K from Chicago, IL does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We love Okaloosa for a quiet beach vacation in the fall and have stayed in the area before.
  
  Our condo was homey, but old-fashioned. It has carpeting, and was advertised as pet free but clearly was not. Allergy issues for us that week. Both tubs backed up badly and both toilets had corroded "insides" so I had my hand in toilet tanks multiple times. I did call maintenance and they fixed the one but failed to fix the 2nd which was frustrating. The stove has coiled burners which are lopsided and the drip trays wrapped in foil...? That was a turn off. TVs in bedroom mounted poorly and dont have HDMI ports so no plug in for the kids which wasnt a huge deal but I expected that in an "updated" condo.
  
  Overall it was adequate but we have stayed in much nicer at same price and would not return to this particular unit.
  
  Tip...friends stayed in a 3br here. Next time I will opt for the 3br. Lots more space for the $.
  
  I did love the patio furniture, probably my favorite thing about it.

  Brooks and Shorey rental was very easy to work with answered all my questions and concerns. The condo was very nice and clean.
  The construction next store to the condo was somewhat disruptive listening to the generators and workers shouting. The twin beds were very uncomfortable to sleep in for my adult children. I would like to come back to this island but next Time I will make sure no construction is going on next store. The beaches are the best the sand is so soft and the water is so clear.

  • Manager Responded on 10/11/2017

    Islander 2002 is a beautiful 2 bedroom condo directly on the Gulf of Mexico. The construction to which you are referring next door to this property, has come to a close but we do keep up with all construction plans that are in the condos we manage. So please feel free to call us when you are wanting to book your next vacation and we'll be able to tell you what construction plans we know about that are ongoing. We don't have a say-so over any of the construction but we can tell you what we know!! Thank you for booking through Brooks and Shorey Resorts, we look forward to having you back again soon!

  We enjoyed our vacation in such a cozy and inviting place with the remarkable view and privacy. Warm colors without being overdone with the beach decor made it feel more like home, and to relax on the balcony without the pool as a distraction gave needed privacy. The entire facility is kept up well with easy access to the beach. The extra amenities were great extras and convenient. I've been visiting since 2007 and only tried a few other places before returning to the Islander and always through Brooks & Shorey.

  a guest from Buford, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was lovely, clean and comfortable. Loved having the twin beds in the second bedroom for my kids. Master bed has a memory foam topper which I hated, but I know lots of people really like them, so I can't really complain about that. We cooked in the large kitchen several time. Contacted the owner with a question and got a very quick response. We will definitely be back. My only real complaint is check in - with keyless entry it's ridiculous to have to stop at the management office. All paperwork should be able to be completed online!

  • Manager Responded on 4/13/2016

    Thank you so much for the nice review and your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us in this gorgeous condo! We are sorry for the inconvenience of coming to the office to sign paperwork, at this time that is our policy. We are so glad you plan to come back and stay with us again, be sure to remind us you are a return guest so we can apply the return guest discount. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

  Jason C from New Palestine, IN recommends this vacation rental

  My wife and I stayed from Sept. 18th-Oct 3rd and we loved it! The condo was everything as advertised and more. It has everything you need and was very clean. The beach and ocean were obviously awesome as well. We took advantage of the free round of golf that comes with the rental and it was only a 20 min drive north of Ft. Walton. We also liked that the rental came with chairs and umbrella rental on the beach. Some people staying at the Islander Resort's rooms didn't come with the rental and had to pay $25 per day so that was a great value in itself. We would highly recommend staying here and we'll definitely be back!

  This was our second year to stay at the Islander and it was also a great experience. We changed condos only because the living room furniture set up was more accommodating for our family this year. We found the condo to be clean and in good order. We loved the location because we could sit outside each morning and enjoy the early activities of the beach and the ocean view was excellent. We would highly recommend this property to our friends. We also loved the fact we had a beautiful white beach that was not too busy and could also just drive a few miles to great restaurants and shopping. Would love to go again soon!

  Amanda N from McKinney, Texas recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed here at the end of July and our only complaint was the really gross water. Usually the water is gorgeous but with all the storms in July it was dark, murky and full of seaweed. But the unit was gorgeous and clean and absolutely charming. We could hear people on either side of us when they would run up and down their condos which got annoying but you can't expect total quiet in the summer at the beach. ;) The washing machine got pretty loud during its spin cycle so we tried to only use that during the day so we wouldn't disturb our neighbors. But everything was great and we'd definitely rent this unit again! :)

  Honestly, the condo had absolutely everything we wanted and needed to cook, eat, drink, play games, enjoy the view, sit around, listen to music, work out, etc., etc. Convenient condo location in the building (on the end for easy parking lot access) and convenient building location on the strip (close to the Tom Thumb convenience store down the street). We arrived after hours. Brooks & Shorey left detailed instructions for how to proceed. Next morning check-in was quick and the office staff were very friendly. Checking out was quick and easy, too. It was our first time to the beach, and this condo and rental company made it perfect. Simple as that. We'll definitely be back, and I'll be recommending Brooks & Shorey and The Islander, for sure!

  Rate everything a 5, except cleanliness - your cleaners do not do a very thorough job of cleaning. There is dirt & grime on the cabinet fronts & electrical switch plates in all rooms - and the stove. For the most part it was clean, but encourage you to expect more out of the people who clean.

We had 4 condos booked at one point during our week long stay. Many restaurants, grocery stores, shops, and souvenir shops were also located close to the condo. Also enjoyed the harbor walk village.

  Beach was nasty and smelly! Had to just enjoy the sound of the beach because the water was too dirty to go in!

•  

• Only item that is still not great is the master bedroom mattress. It could stand to be replaced.

  We enjoyed our family vacation very much and with all the talk and news about the oil spill we found the beach very clean and water oil free. The weather gave us lots of beach time and water and waves were great. a good time was had by all(we had another family staying in another room) that we shared our vacation with. There were people working around the clock to inspect and clean the beaches of any oil or tar balls. we flet safe and at ease.

  Joe M from Walker, MI recommends this vacation rental

  The windows are in rough shape. The windows on the Gulf side were tough to move. There was no screen on the slider.
  The front second bedroom window does not move. The reason this is mentioned is the air did not seem to ever get the condo down to 75°. We tried for awhile having it set at 75° so we then resorted to having the windows open all the time.

  • Manager Responded on 11/12/2012

    Thanks for the review! Since this review was posted, the owners have replaced the HVAC and it works great! Also, all the windows facing the beach as well as the sliding glass door in the living room have been replaced and now are brand new and very easy to use.

  Really enjoyed the stay at the Islander. It is a great location with a beautiful view. One suggestion though - put locking devices on the inside that are not accessible from the outside or use electronic locks on outside doors.

  This condo was beautifully decorated and had all the kitchen utensils you would ever need. I brought some of my own not knowing the condo would have everything. Overall it was a wonderful place to stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone, and I would definately use Brooks and Shorey again for any future plans I make.
  
  Thank you again for a wonderful experience!
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Jamie Hudson Amaya, and family

  Ive been staying at the islander for years. Now that Brooks and Shore are off site, it is not as convienet. Plus the people in unit 2003 were constantly partying through the night. with no onsite I really didn't feel like there was anything I could do. The unit must have a mold, or dust problem because I was stuffed up every morning. As soon as I was out of the unit for a few hours I was clear as a bell. It did smell a little funny inside, mildew smell. I really love the property, and the location, but If resort quest took over the site managment I might rent through them next time.

  We stayed at the Islander three years ago (married on Ft. Walton Beach) and returned two years later with our son. We are planning to return this year along with our son. The condo was nicely furnished and provided us with a wonderful place to relax. The view is beautiful and from the balcony we can see each other on the beach.
