These condos are older, but very comfortable and reasonable. We had a nice 2 bedroom/bath with full kitchen, living, and dining (#509). The balcony overlooked a nicely landscaped area and some parking but the beach was within a few yards, and you could listen and see the waves lapping. It was a great stay with friendly staff, clean rooms, clean... more

My family stayed during the off season and loved it. The condo's are nice and clean. The pools and whirpools were very clean. We stayed in 102. Close to the pool and the boardwalk to the beach. I loved the family fun extras that came with the rental. All of the staff was very nice and helpful! I had no... more

Stayed in condo 718 in early August 2009 with a family of four (two kids, one 4, one 3 months) and we had a great time at the condo. PROS: View was amazing. Two of our four nights the sunset was gorgeous and we had a front row seat. Kitchen to make meals instead of having to eat out. We... more

I have been taking my children to vacation at the Islander in Destin for the last several years. The atmosphere is great for families and I have always felt very safe there. I recently married and introduced my husband to the resort hoping that he would love it too. He does and now it is a great family tradition to... more

The condos are lovely - especially unit #517 - and the The beach is easily accessible, too. It's a beautiful location. We've vacationed at the Islander since 1998 and our one complaint the past two years is that the staff no longer does anything to control unruly, loud children. This year (2008), there were several children (who appeared to be... more

Our second time to the Islander in Destin. Actually had more fun this time than the first and we didn't think that was possible! The Islander has all the bases covered, in my opinion. They are so well seasoned at hospitality that they don't miss the big things or the small stuff either. The unit we booked was spotless and... more
