Great location. Close to the beach
Views from the balcony were excellent and you could hear the ocean. The condo is a short distance from restaurants and stores. Enjoyed not having to bring an umbrella and chairs to the beach. The attendant on the beach was super nice. We loved the convenience of the shopping cart to bring groceries up to the room. We wish the tennis and pickleball courts were open but they were under refurb our entire stay.

Amazing!!!
This was an amazing place to take your family. The beach is so close and the beach attendant is so helpful and attentive! It was great to have chairs and an umbrella there. It's so close to restaurants and stores. It's locked and very secure so I felt comfortable with my sons going back and forth. We will be coming back for sure!!! Than you for a great vacation for my Family.

Wonderful getaway location
The condo location was in a nice area. View of the ocean was beautiful. The condo was beautifully decorated. Plenty of extra linen and towels provided. All the people were very friendly. The pools were warm and the hot tubs were nice - we appreciated that because it was cooler than we expected. Had a great stay.

Great Vacation
The condo was clean and very nicely decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with any type of dishes/pots/pans. The master bathroom was very big and very nice shower. Beds and couches were also very comfortable. The pool water was very clean and super warm. Laundry/Towel exchange was great. The only wish I had was for the condo to be closer to the elevator. Overall, very nice and would return. Columbus, Ohio

Exactly as listed
Our stay was wonderful! The condo looked exactly as it was depicted in the pictures. The pools and hot tubs were all very clean. The beach was amazing with white sand and clear water. My only advice is to go out early, 7:30ish and mark your chairs with a towel!

This was our first stay at Islander Condominiums and it was wonderfull. Clean and spacious, very comfortable for a party of four adults. Beach access was an easy short walk and the pools were spotless. We hope to be back soon.

Loved our stay !! The condo was perfect for our mini vacation !! It was clean and tastefully decorated . It had every appliance that we may have needed ! We loved that beach towels were provided and the Free Beach Service was Awesome !! Between two pools, two hot tubs and a very short walk to the beach, we could not have asked for anything !! With the spectacular view we could even spot dolphins in the Harbor from the patio !!! We give it Two Thumbs Up !!!! See y'all next year !!!!!!

Loved our stay, everyone was very hospitable and pleasant. The condo was clean, the sofas were so comfy, on the down side the full size or queen bed was very very uncomfortable. Everything else was awesome! Loved the warm pool and we got to enjoy the community bbq pits...definitely enjoyed our first experience using VRBO!
