Vacation Date: July 27, 2023

"Our experience with Brooks and Shorey and the Islander was great. The employees of both were a pleasure to deal with and Brooks and Shorey made sure we were all set when it came time to check in. The condo complete was nice and well maintained and easy beach access. The 2 chairs per condo were a treat and the beaches and water were pristine. The condos were all well stocked - especially 5008, they had everything from kitchenware to extra blankets. Only negative would be the sofa bed mattress it wasn't even comfortable for kids to sleep on. that needs to be changed if you are going to advertise sleeping capacity. Honestly an air mattress would have been better. Otherwise will definitely be back and use Brooks again!

"We had a wonderful experience. It was our second time staying at the islander. We loved being close to everything and having a quiet place to relax at the same time. The views were amazing. Loved that it was oceanfront. It was clean and had everything guests would need if you chose to cook. We took our grandkids and they loved it as well. It’s great for couples or families. Check in was easy peasy. Will most likely stay here again.

Never disappointed

Review Date: November 7, 2022

Vacation Date: October 15, 2022

"My wife and I have stayed at the Islander resort many times in the past. We have stayed at Different rooms here and are happy with all of them. 5008 was pretty nice though some things were a little dated. Otherwise the view and the wide panoramic view of the ocean is better then most of the other condos we've stayed along Ft Walton beach. The condo was well stocked with cookware and dishes. We had to call Brookes and Shorey for a beeping smoke detector which they took care of promptly and replaced all the other ones while they were there. We took advantage of the free Sea blaster sunset dolphin cruise which we do every year. Beach service was great as usual. My wife and I look forward to our stay here almost every year. Just bring a few batteries for the remotes. Never know when they will die. As usual Brookes and Shorey does a great job. Overall a great condo. Would stay there again.

Great first family vacay

Review Date: June 18, 2022

Vacation Date: June 12, 2022

"
Condo was great for our first family vacay (mom, Dad, nine year-old). This place had plenty of space to stretch out when we had too much togetherness.

We walked into a clean condo and we found it very user-friendly and available. You overlook the pool, and the ocean view is awesome.

We utilized most of the amenities-there were lots of extra kitchen appliances if wr needed them. We cooked most nights or warmed up leftovers.

Our family would love to stay here in the future. My kiddo loved the pool too much!

Notes on stay:
-Bring your own bath towels. We were only provided two for our group of three. Shampoos and soaps were included.
-Make sure the washer lid is pushed all the way down. Laundry detergent was included. W/D is located behind the very first door on the left when walking in.
-No recycling on-site
-No extra blankets in the condo so bring your own
-Hair dryers were included in each bathroom
-Beach chairs and umbrellas were set up each morning and removed in the afternoon by staff
-Pool was cleaned each day by staff
-A coke vending machine was on the first floor
-Parking was great (one of my big anxiety triggers) but the lot was big and we could park our F-150 just fine
-Be up by 7 am to see the dolphins

Beach getaway for Memorial Day

Vacation Date: May 28, 2017

"Our stay at Islander 5008 was great. The view from the balcony is amazing (we saw dolphins our last morning there) and the access to the beach is super easy, which was important with a 2 yr old. The condo was clean when we got there and we had everything we needed. My only two suggestions would be to upgrade the mattress in the guest bedroom, it is super hard and uncomfortable (the one in tbe master is very comfortable) and fix the light over the kitchen table, it didn't work the whole time. But our stay was great and we would stay at the Islander when we come back to the area.

"The unit was nicely updated with a good floor plan, it was recently remodeled. the rental process, checkin, check out, all extremely easy. The location is great, views amazing! We did not have the best of weather so the balcony and view from the windows mesnt alot. my only critism is the bedroom we stayed in was very musty smelling. Its humid in Florida, i aired it out with the ceiling fans during the day.

THANK YOU for your great feedback from your stay in 5008 Islander. This is a recently updated unit, and we were unaware of any sort of musty smell in the unit certainly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, we're looking into it! Unfortunately the salt water of the GUlf of Mexico that's right in front of our condos while gorgeous and refreshing to visit, it does bring humidity to everything and yes leaving the ceiling fan on does help sometimes. There are always pros and cons to everything, same applies here but we happen to think the pros outweigh the cons by far, so we take on the humidity, must and sand full force and just try to keep up! THank you for your amazing review, we appreciate you staying with us and please come see us again soon!

"The rental was perfect for my family. We loved the view and found the rental to be in the perfect location. It was not crowded like Destin and that was a plus. Check in and check out were smooth processes. We would love to come back again.
My only suggestion would be to upgrade thread count on bed sheets. They were rough for the amount of money you pay to rent it.

"Had a great time at Islander 5008. Though a brief 3-day stay, we were very well-rested by the time we left. The condo was very clean and the view was magnificent! Will definitely come back!

You chose a fantastic condo for your quick, but relaxing, 3 day vacation. 5008 at the Islander is ALL NEW, everything upgraded, and the balcony size is a huge plus. The whole purpose of vacationing in a gulf front condo is so you can enjoy the gorgeous beaches along the Emerald Coast and catch up on some much needed are more than happy you found both of these during your brief getaway. We appreciate you booking through us and we look forward to having you in the future hopefully for a LONGER stay next time!~

My Fall Vacation

"The rental agent and check-in experience were great. The beach was beautiful as always and there were plenty of chairs and unbrellas available for use. Overall the room was OK. the kitchen was stocked with utencils and the beds had fresh linens but were not comfortable. the bathrooms need work. The exhaust vents were couated with dirt and hairspray and barely worked. The hair dryers provided (both bathrooms) did not work. toenail trimmings and long dark hairs were found on the floor and the sinks were not very clean. But at least the elevators worked fine this trip.

What a disappointment to hear your unenthusiastic feedback after once again staying at the Islander. This unit is literally one of the most updated and newest units on our program. The owner completely refurnished the entire condo only a few months ago!! We are so sorry it didn't live up to your standards. Every guest we've had this summer stay in this unit has loved the upgrades and all the new additions. Hair dryers are optional and up to the owner to provide, we'll have them removed if they truly don't work. Thank you for visiting come back to Fort Walton Beach soon!

Great Beaches and area

"My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the Ft. Walton area. Lots to do and great weather. The perks included were excellent, golf, beach lounge and umbrellas were gratefully received. One suggestion for improvement. The "Welcome Bag" given by the rental agent was extremely lacking. On a recent weeks condo stay in Florida Keys the welcome bag contains small bottle of coffee mate, tea bags, coffee, micro popcorn and numerous discount coupons.

Four Night Stay

Review Date: July 12, 2016

"We were very much fans of this place! We used to stay at a different property on Santa Rosa Island, but we could only stay four nights and their reservations were for a week minimum. We were not disappointed with our switch to the Islander! The first thing we noticed upon walking in was how fresh and clean everything smelled and looked. The sheets and towels were pristine and we found no problems with the unit at all. They took care to provide everything that was needed, for example most places only provide one dishwashing gel but there were three or four in the unit here.

We loved the beach service and the keyless entry to the condo and the pool was well-maintained. We will definitely stay again.
