Beautiful location and accommodations for the whole family including small kids. A pleasant experience again this year. We used this location in the past and always was giving us everything we hoped and needed for a vacation. We have been all very happy for spending a so nice time together with the family. This is an ideal place to do this, and we already reserved the same spot for 2026. Thank you to the whole team at The Islander resort. We are looking already forward for the next year.
Very enjoyable stay. Room was nice and in good condition. Had everything we needed. Bedding was comfortable and A/C worked well. First floor location was very convenient. Close to pool and beach access. Property was well-maintained...landscaping was very nice. Fresh paint on exterior; sidewalk, common areas have been updated. Beach was narrower than we might like and chairs were limited, but is was still nice. Beach attendant was very friendly and professional. Would advise getting out early to reserve best chairs. We enjoyed our first stay in the Holiday Isle area, very centrally located. Overall, would highly recommend!

I’m very picky about where I stay and I’m 100% a beach lover! Just steps from the beach, and heated pool. Ideally perfect for older folks due to the main floor or families with kids. The community was quiet, clean, and check in was extremely convenient. Are only hiccup was the fridge ice maker not working however the front office provided complimentary bags of ice. I highly recommend this unit and community. We will hoped be back soon!

The condo is a great room and straight across from the beach gate. The condo does have a washer and dryer which is very nice and is what keeps us coming back to this room. I do wish that the washer and dryer were not such an expensive upgrade to the room though. Also, it would be nice if a shower head would be installed in both bathrooms that had a hose due to all the sand. All in all a great condo and The Islander has a great beach attendant.

Reviewer Comments:
Rental was good. The toaster is in need of attention. I left something important in the room upon departure. I’ve got noting but the run around every time I’ve called. New person every time that doesn’t know what I’m talking about. So the chain of command needs attention. It would be extremely easy to handle my dilemma. Now I’m sure I never will have it resolved.

Reviewer Comments:
2nd night here my 10 yo and 21 yo step son's sinuses really started messing with them. 4th night my 10 son's sinuses started messing with him. I started smelling mold in the bathroom. 5th night I notice mold along the wall by the vents on the ceiling. I called the front desk and was told maintenance would be down in the morning. They said they would be treating it with bleach. My husband is from Louisiana. He knows a lot about mold. If you use bleach on mold, it turns into pneumonia. We told them to hold off until we leave the next day. We stayed out of the condo as much as possible. With all that being said, the condo was nice, very convenient.

We booked unit 103 as we had some friends staying a few doors down during the same week. We had never been to Destin but thought, why not? It was by far, the best vacation yet with our kids. The unit and resort were awesome. We loved being on the ground floor near the beach and the pool. The unit was clean and the resort was awesome.

We've made annual trips to Destin for the past 30 years-it never disappoints. We've been staying at the islander for the past 15 of those 30 years. Something to be said for that. Highly recommend The Islander-haven't stayed in a unit yet that we were not happy with.

We love the Islander. Unit 103 is a little musty. Needs to be better stocked in the kitchen (needs more serving dishes, bowls, pots/pans). Wish the Islander would do something with the gym. 2 people puts it at max capacity.
