We stayed Apr 17 - 24.Unit 201 was very nice. The location was great and the beach was super nice.Loved having beach chairs and umbrella included with the unit.The unit was well decorated, clean, and very cozy.A few constructive items:Mid week the roach spraying crew entered the unit while we were in it to spray for bugs…again, while we were in the unit. Luckily we were just sitting watching tv but kinda weird to just have someone barge in.The unit lacks extra blankets. So if you get cold you’ll need to take blankets off the beds and use.Kitchen is nice but keep in mind all they have is salt and pepper. Everything else to cook is on you to go buy. Everyday during the trip (except Sunday the 19th) there was construction going on above the unit. It started quit early so if you like to sleep in past 8am it will be difficult. I don’t anticipate this is year round but was during our stay.I don’t want to take away from the unit as overall it’s a very nice place and was very reasonably priced.

Spacious View

This property has a double spacious view of the ocean almost the entire length of the living area. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and anything needed for cooking. I loved the abundance of hooks for hanging hats, towels, purses, etc. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the host was super responsive. It’s a great location, not too busy, but close to food and activities. I’m sure we will book again in the future.

GREAT Stay

201 at the Islander was FANTASTIC. It was exactly as portrayed in the pictures and write up. The location was superb, quiet yet only a few minutes away to great eating and attractions. Beach as awesome. Staff very friendly. Had no problems. Kenneth was a gem to work with at Itrips Fort Walton. We could NOT have asked for any better. Will request again.

This property was amazing the 2 full bathrooms and two separate bedrooms were just perfect for my 2 daughters, 2 granddaughters and I everything was clean and the condo had just what we needed. Ken and Carrie were amazing and in my opinion went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. Small things mean so much when your planning a trip. Highly recommend this property

Beach Vacation

We had an amazing time! The condo was close to the beach and had everything we needed!!! If I had feedback for the owners, it would be to upgrade some things for the condo. Spending a bunch of money for a week, there should be some better appliances, furniture and dishes. We understand being close to the beach is a perk but it could use some updating on those items. Overall, it was a great rental and would use again!!

Amazing view from the spacious balcony!

This condo has the most amazing view from the large balcony and the double sliders/windows that span the width of the condo! The unit is very spacious and was very clean! We appreciated the 2 double beds in the 2nd bedroom as well as the full size washer and dryer in the unit. We saw dolphins from the balcony every morning. There was great communication and quick responses when asking for recommendations. We look forward to renting this unit again!

Absolutely loved the condo. Loved the overall location in relation to everything in town. Our condo’s location near the beach was amazing! Small issues…appliances definitely need updating. TV was challenging to use. Limited channels. Water lukewarm at times. But we would stay here again without hesitation. Overall, it was incredible!

Lover the condo beach decor and the size 6if the beds and the large living area

I loved that there were two double beds in the 2nd bedroom so the kids didn't have to share a bed. There was a fan in that room to use as noise machine and block out outside noise. The decor was adorable. The carpet was fairly new and the couches were in good condition. The master bed was very comfortable. The balcony is huge with nice outdoor furniture. We enjoyed having beach chairs included and we used one of the free entertainment packages and went on the dolphin cruise with snorkeling.

Wonderful Condo!

We had a wonderful time at this condo! I give it a 4.999999 out of 5! Was extremely clean, did not see one Insect! Has a marvelous view and is close to trash chute, beach and pool! Only reason I didn’t give it a five is because you are only provided with four towels and two small trash bags. Bring extra towels if you don’t want to wash every night or have more than four people! However...they do provide beach towels! We had a great stay!

60th Birthday Surprise Stay

I planned a 60th birthday surprise week for 3 other ladies. The property was beautiful and felt very safe. I would ike to see more than 2 trash bags for the kitchen and at least 3 rolls of TP under each sink in the bathroom. We ran out of both items. Also a bath mat in each bathroom would be great. But other then that, our stay was perfect.

This is the one!!!

My mother and I stayed at this wonderful condo during our third annual trip to Fort Walton. As much as we enjoyed the other two condos, we both agree that we don't want to stay anywhere else!! The condo was spotless and beautiful. We enjoyed looking at all the decorations and even picked up some decorating tips to use at home (love the shells on the lamps). The kitchen had more appliances than I have ever seen at a vacation rental (I was THRILLED to find a mixer to make meringue for my key lime pie!). The shower was absolutely perfect and so much better than my shower at home. And, of course, there was the view!!! We loved, loved, loved the double balcony/windows. All this lead to some daydreaming about owning and living in our own condo just like this one. It is perfect!! On a side note, don't miss Stewby's seafood restaurant right down the street.
