  Our condo we rented was wonderful, just as it was advertised. Ice maker did not work, but we found ice trays to make our own. View was heavenly, but the weather was not agreeable.

  Wonderful stay at the Islander Beach Resort. This specific location is right on the ocean with the best views and quick walk to the beach and the pool. The property was clean and well furnished with everything you need for your stay. The pool was always clean and the pool guy was there every morning to maintenance and clean it! Beach chair service was nice and the young man working was always the first one out in the morning and had spots available for guests. We won't stay anywhere else on the island. Can't beat the views, cleanliness, location and the professionalism of Brooks and Shorey. Any questions I had about our stay/check in were answered in a timely and polite manner!

  • Manager Responded on 9/26/2022

  a guest from McDonough, GA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a lovely time. Condo was clean and nicely decorated. I would suggest a better mattress in the spare bedroom. Very hard and could feel the springs. The air conditioner felt like it turned off at night. We woke up sweating. We enjoyed the big balcony. The pool area was nice and clean except on Sunday. There were empty cans and food all over the deck. The pool had bugs floating and trash at the bottom. I guess the cleaning crew is off on Sunday’s?

  • Manager Responded on 6/30/2022

    Thank you for the review. While we are pleased to know that you had enjoyed and had a lovely stay in this unit. We would like to apologize for the mattress in the spare room and the AC. We have shared your feedback with the appropriate party with Brooks and Shorey Resorts to ensure they are addressed. Regarding to the pool area not being clean, I will report it right away to the HOA association of Islander that way they can be address. We always seek to improve the overall guest experience; therefore, we appreciate all the feedback we receive. We are grateful that you have chosen to stay with us, and hope you will give us another opportunity in the future.

  Cassandra K from Neosho, MO recommends this vacation rental

  This rental was a 5* stay all around!! The convenience of this property is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk out onto our balcony and watch the gorgeous ocean. The condo was absolutely clean as a whistle. Everything you need in a kitchen to cook with is at your fingertips. We bought crab legs and there were even the tools to crack the shells with. Having a washer and dryer was also an added bonus. There are elevators and everything on the property is easy to find. The pool was so refreshing to jump into after a day on the beach. The staff was very polite and accommodating to any questions you might have. Our only complaint was the mattress in the master bedroom was extremely uncomfortable and really needs replaced. Also, on our second to last day the pool was closed. When you have a fully booked property and there are a bunch of smaller children, working on the pool shouldn’t be done during the day. Especially since it wasn’t an emergency to work on it. Several employees said how sorry they were and wished they were allowed to do it in the early evening so the pool wouldn’t be closed for a whole day. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Islander in #3006. We 100% will be booking our stay for next summer. We also would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for the perfect vacation rental that is directly on the beach. Summer of 2022 can’t get here soon enough!!!!

  a guest from Atlanta, GA recommends this vacation rental

  The condo was clean and moderately updated. The porch was huge and the views incredible. The outside noise is heard easily in the bedrooms, however, not heard in the main living areas. Easy check in and check out. Management was wonderful to work with regarding booking the condo. The staff for umbrella and chair set up were also wonderful-professional, kind and acted like gentleman. One thing to improve-we didn’t have water our last day (was out for the building) and not notified of this water outage at all. We understand that sometimes things happen, as there was significant construction going on during our stay, but management should have notified us.

  • Manager Responded on 10/4/2020

    Thanks for your review! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views! Unfortunately, we have no control of the renovation or the one time water outage which are HOA issues and are out of our control. We did however notify our guests of the renovations and water outage as soon as we were notified by the HOA. We hope that this will not deter future stays with us and hope to see you again!

  The place was clean, neat, and one of the few places I have stayed at on the Emerald Coast that had a decent sliding glass door that did not have salt corrosion. I think hard and cannot recall anything that was less than I expected it to be. We have been staying on the Emerald Coast annually either east or west of Ft.Walton thirty-five years and have never had a place that provided enough toilet paper to last a week. Finally, I found one. A round of applause to the housekeeper. The stay was great. The only thing less than perfect was the movie rental. We had to go to another place and found that we did not have the card needed to rent the movies.

  Our stay was supposed to be from October 5-12, 2018 but hurricane Michael had other plans for us. We received an email with our evacuation notice on October 8, 2018. Although our trip was cut short we enjoyed our stay. It's just a short walk over the wooden sidewalk to the beach. The pool was big and very clean. Our condo was clean and a very nice size for 2 couples. The kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of seating in the living room and dining room, we also enjoyed the view. I would visit this part of the beach and definitely stay in this condo again.

    We are sorry that Michael cut your vacation short but happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your great review. We look forward to your next (hopefully longer) visit.

  Our stay in this unit was very pleasant (with minor exceptions). Location is perfect, and the unit was clean and in good shape. The only exceptions noted were wimpy shower heads and non-working unit telephone (and we tried unsuccessfully using a new phone in the wall plug). All things considered, we would certainly stay in this unit again.

  a guest from Bogalusa, LA recommends this vacation rental

  We had a lovely view of the beach. The condo was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The only downside was the noise from the renovations that were going on above us. They were removing ceramic tile with a very loud machine. It could be heard at the beach, so imagine how loud it was in the condo and at the pool.

  • Manager Responded on 6/13/2018

    We appreciate you staying in Islander 3006 for a lovely beach vacation on the Gulf Coast!! Unfortunately the Homeowner's Association for the Islander is responsible for maintaining the property and making sure the property rules are being followed...owners are allowed to update their condos as they please, from the flooring through the entire unit which sometimes can be noisy as any type of construction. There are set times when the loud work is allowed to take place and unfortunately there aren't any restrictions on the time of year, even summer months are open for these type of upgrades. So we appreciate your patience with this construction and we're glad to know that it did not ruin your vacation! Thanks for coming, please come back soon for more time in paradise!

  stay was great. only complaint, we came in on the end of tropical storm nate, we had all windows on the ocean side and because of the storm blowing up so much once it cleared we couldnt see out the windows. a few cleaning supplies in the unit would have been a help. we got them all cleaned and our view was beautiful!!! I must say that alone would not change my opinion about my stay. Look forward to my next stay there!

  This condo was sufficient and mainly clean, aside from the hair in the bathroom floor. The guest room was pretty small and the fixtures could be stand to be updated. Inside the showers was pretty dark and hard to see while bathing. I think I'd find another condo next time. Good balcony furniture and great view of the beach.

  The room had a beautiful view and the owner I spoke with was super nice. BUT the room was advertised as having a heated pool and since we were going in October that was a BIG plus. However the pool IS NOT HEATED!! The rental company may do the advertising for the room but either way that should be taken off!

  • Manager Responded on 10/10/2016

    Thank you for staying with us in Islander 3006. We are sorry that you were disappointed in the pool not being heated in October. The pool is a heated pool but not as early as October. The property management company that manages the pool only heats it from late November until late February or March, depending on the weather. It is wonderful that you enjoyed the condo itself and your overall vacation experience was great. We hope that you will be able to come back and stay with us again!

  a guest from columbus, OH does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We have been to Ft. Walton 12 times and stayed at the Islander 10x. We love the beach view. However, the condition of the overall property in general is going down hill on many fronts and the costs keep rising. We really miss the hot tub and many other places have one, which is a plus. Our family rented two condos - ours was outdated compared to the other one on the 5th floor and they paid less. We used to see the pool cleaners every day. We did not see them until our 4th day there and I think they only cleaned it once and tested it twice. By the end of the week, there was a brownish scum floating in the pool, a few band aides laying around, several dead bugs. There are 3 umbrellas at the pool and they should have more in case folks want to take a short break from the sun. They were all broken and coming apart. There is obviously no security there as several nights there were teenage boys in the hallway all night and they used the bathroom in the hallway and it was never cleaned by the time we left - it smelled horrible. Paying over $2000 for a week is very pricy for an outdated condo in our opinion, especially when the overall maintenance is almost null.

  • Manager Responded on 8/8/2016

    Thank you for the review and the feedback. We are very sorry for your disappointment of the Islander property. We will pass the information onto the property management company so that your concerns can be addressed. We do have condos that we manage in fourteen other buildings on Okaloosa Island, if you are able to stay with us again please call and speak to one of our experienced reservationists and they will be able to advise you of the condo building and location that better fits your needs. We hope that you will be able to come stay with us again on the beautiful Emerald Coast.

  This vacation rental was everything we could of wanted and more. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were great!!!! Loved the fact that we didn't need a key to get in!!! The view was breathtaking and we seen several dolphins throughout our stay. The only bad thing we had happen was my friend left her purse in one of the dressers and it hasn't turned up yet. Keep hoping someone will turn it in as it has her and her daughters social security cards in it. But that is totally our fault for accidentally leaving it!!

  Experience was great overall! Great location with beachfront steps away. Pool was very large and heated and was a fairly quiet stay. Only a couple of small groups were loud and believe it or not, were adults on spring break. I will say the couches were entirely unacceptable. The cushions were so worn you had to place the pillows under your arse so the leading edge wouldn't hurt. Even though a review months before we stayed commented the cushions were worn out, I assumed the owner would have spent a couple hundred bucks to have the cushions redone.
  
  Overall highly recommended, but I'd make sure the couch cushions were replaced or you'll be switching couches each night.
  
  One other note, the first hour we arrived the master bath toilet plunger was not sealing and water was continuously running. Within an hour of our call to Brooks it was taken care of and we greatly appreciate the efficiency of the the maintenance.

The condo itself was perfect for our family of 6. It had everything we needed including the washing machine and dryer. Being so close to the Gulf was amazing. The private beach was perfect and the two gentlemen who set up the chairs and umbrella every day were friendly and helpful. Hearing the ocean and Seeing the dolphins from our balcony was fun for all. This was truly a very relaxing vacation and we will be back again when we can stay even longer......thank you for everything.

  We loved the place. Very Clean. Right on the beach front close to shopping and destin. Was disappointed no hot tub at this location. Heated swimming pool wasn't heated .Something broke at the beginning of stay and wouldn't be fixed by the time we left. All in all had a great visit with family and the place was great for that!!

  • Manager Responded on 4/28/2014

    We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! The management company for this particular building were keeping us appraised of the situation with the pool heater... although the heater isn't needed now as the temperatures have gotten higher since your visit in mid march.

  There were a few things I was not satisfied with. One of the closets in the master bedroom did not close. The doors where off the track and just hanging there. Also the water pressure that comes from the shower head int he master bedroom was very low. But besides the cosmetic side of things everything was great. And my family and I can't wait to come back for another family vacation.

  a guest from Bourbonnais, IL does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The booking staff was very professional. When we went to check out the staff in the office could care less and all they wanted were the keys and video rental card. If the rental company is requiring a credit card deposit of $300 for a security deposit
  they should do walk throughs to make sure that the unit is in good condition and not ask the renters to call in any problems that they find. We found the front door hinges loose, we had to screw the hinges back in. We found the AC filter completely clogged.
  The blinds in the living room was missing blinds. In the one bedroom was a fake ficus that had a good layer of dust on it. In the kitchen, the carpet in front of the sink was stuck so bad to the floor that it will have scraped up. The refrigerator had a broken
  shelf. If Brooks and Shorey is paying for cleaning they should get their money back. We did call the manager at Brooks and Shorey to inform them of the rude office person and of the condition of the unit.

  While the condo was nice, we have stayed at other locations a whole lot nicer. The decor was ok, but kinda dated. The dresser in one bedroom had a really bad musty smell.Put bounce sheets in drawers to help.Distance from condo to beach was good. Pool size was excellent. Hot tub was too hot and jets did not stay on long enough. No parking garage so SUV was hot. Balcony size was nice. Won't stay again. Other rentals we have used much nicer and comparable in price. also, have to use keys. no keypad. not convenient for more than 1 family. check in and out is off location.

  The unit was beautiful and comfortable. We love The Islander Resort. The only two things we did not like were problems with the blinds over the balcony door - the "handle" on the blinds kept coming off, and we kept putting it on - and the mattress pads on the beds are flimsy and getting worn - made the beds a little annoying.

There was one part that I REALLY hated, though... LEAVING! I would love to get the same suite the next time, and there will be a next time! Thanks, Brooks and Shorey. Job well done!
