Lauderdale, Ms, United StatesOverall nice
Left on 03/27/2013 for a stay in March 2013
Our overall stay at the condo was nice. I liked that we had plenty of towels and wash cloths. I did not like how we could not check in until 4:00 and office closes at 5:00. Then I have to take time of out my vacation to officially check in or I'm charged a 55$ fee.

Amherst, NY, United StatesOur second home
Left on 03/20/2013 for a stay in March 2013
The new doors and window treatments have certainly enhanced the condo for guests and owner. Will lower heating and AC bils for owner. Was able to speak with owner and expressed the advantages of the above. He said he would look into 2 new chairs for living room as the present ones have you sitting near the floor. Told management about mold around 2 back windows Also this condo in very heavy with plastic plants and trees which are old and dusty. Possibly the owner would care to dispose of some?.Had a very unpleasant experience upon our arrival with a young lady. Eva is always professional! Hope to be able to check in next year on the 30th of Dec and stay until the Sunday after the 5th to aid our heavy traffic travel. Have had MANY good years with B&S; and are very comfy in our 7010. Thank you JIM

The new windows and draperies are a very welcome much cozier.Everthing was addressed by the staff when a concern was brought to their attention. 2 blue chairs in living room nedd replacement.They are leaving black marks on the carpeting and we brought it to the attention of the staff. Tom checked it out. Owner hopes to replace them since they leave you sittting almost on the floor. We love it here and it is always a happy time.

Cullman, AL, United StatesSomeone needs to learn what walking distance means
Left on 08/28/2012 for a stay in August 2012
Overall I was happy with the property. Nice view, nice beach. My only complaint is that I asked for a condo that was withing walking distance to the intersection entering Okaloosa Island. When we got our condo, it was one of the furtherest away. We spent a lot of money on cab fare that we wouldn't have had to spend had I gotten what I asked for. It was a nice condo, which I would recommend to someone that didn't mind staying so far out the island. One other thing, the elevators are the slowest that I have ever seen. It's a good thing that there aren't more floors.

Left on 08/24/2012 for a stay in August 2012
THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST AND NICEST PLACE WE HAVE EVER STAYED IN. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE CONDO WAS EXCELLENT, WE LOVED THE DECOR, WE HAD SO MUCH ROOM. THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM WITH OUR ACCOMODATIONS; AND THE ONLY PROBLEMS OVERALL WITH OUR TRIP WAS THE RAIN!!! WE LOOK FORWARD TO STAYING THERE AGAIN, AS THIS WAS SO PLEASURABLE FOR US, IT WAS LIKE BEING AT HOME, ONLY BETTER. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Left on 07/30/2012 for a stay in July 2012
Disappointed that we didn't get to check in till after 6 pm. But the room was very nice and clean and everybody was nice. After we got home I discovered that a pack of my husbands contact lenses were left there. I contacted Brooks and Shorey and they went out of their way to look for them. They found them and mailed them to us. Thanks to that we saved $50 due to not having to order another pack of lenses. Try not to forget anything but if you do, they will do their best to find and send it to you.

The condo was very large and decorated nicely. It could use a good carpet cleaning, but regular housekeeping was fine. It was not too fancy, but this was great because we have four young kids with us. We loved it! The balcony was huge which we loved.

Our recent stay at Islander Beach Resort (#7010) was wonderful! The unit was beautifully decorated and had everything our family needed to enjoy our stay... well except for a blender (LOL)! We had to have our margaritas "on the rocks". I would recommend this property without hesitation!

Left on 03/17/2012 for a stay in March 2012
Did send a review.Our condo is in need of furniture. A comfortable chair or 2 and renewed kitchen chairs(6) Bed is comfortable as is patio furnishings. Lamps are shabby.The pic shows the one side of the condo. The other is completely withour furnishings and full of old greenery that we feel should be removed. Nice new TV's Had a pleasant stay.Other buildings are much better furnished but as snowbirds it is the people that we enjoy. It is our opinion that it would be difficult to rent to summer tourists since other buildings have more to offer at the same price.

our condo was quite clean.We would very much appreciate some living room furniture. We have a nice sofa,2 very difficult side chairs. Sink Way down.That's it.We bring 2 chairs from the balcony so we have a place for guests.A recliner would be a great addition. Guests have to bring their own chairs for dinner as well. We have 5. Owners had carpeting and furniture cleaned.

anniston, alRequest consideration for 2 of the 4 days of our stay
Left on 09/07/2011 for a stay in September 2011
I would like consideration for the fact that the beach was closed for 2 of the 4 days we were there. Because B and S requires payment 30 days in advance, we could not cancel our last two days and go home when the hurricane effects hit our location. We
were condo bound which was not our intent. Mr. Shorey told me they rent the property, and not the beach, but the only reason we rent the property is because it is on the beach.....I talked to other clients who stayed during the same time frame, and their rental
agents offered them two days' refund.... -

Left on 07/28/2011 for a stay in July 2011
We stayed at the Islander in June, 2011, with family and had 4 different condos all rented through Brookes and Shorey & all on the 7th floor. All the condos were very nice but 7010 definitely had the most space! The employees at Brookes and Shorey were fantastic!! Would definitely recommend renting through them and staying at the Islander!!

the only thing I did not like was upon check in at noon, I was not able to pick up keys, I felt like if I trusted you w/ my credit card # for a $300 sec dep. you could trust me w/a key for 4 hours. I had to make a second trip to the office in heavy traffic at 5pm for the keys. I requested 2 keys, I received 1 key in the lock box. upon calling the next day to ask if someone in cleaning or maint. could drop off the the key I was told NO, HOWEVER the wonderful lady, Mary Ann called me back Immed. and brought the key to me. I assure you, she saved the relationship w/ your company. I appreciate her attitude very much and suggest she share that attitude w/ some of the folks that ans. the phone. thanks

We have been comming to the Islander for several years! The property and the rooms have always been great! The only thing I wish would change is that the windows need shades or curtains to make the rooms darker. When on vacation most people don't want to be woke up at 5:30 with the sun comming in.

Left on 03/17/2011 for a stay in March 2011
Could use another chair or 2 in the living area.Also lamps need replacing.We store most all plastic plants upon arrival to rid the condo of dusty 'sad' plants and trees. Don't understand the reason for these. This gives little room in 2 closets.Balcony furniture is a pleasure,as is the new sofa Would like to stay an extra week or 2 if possible, if the winter rate is in effect in'12 Mother Nature provided the nicest weather ever, these last few weeks.

I liked the condo. I would really have liked having sun umbrellas at the pool, because it was like a frying pan in the daytime. The property seems a little old and worn overall. The main disappointment was the green algae in the water all week, but that isn't your fault.

NASHVILLE, TNWhy I stayed there and why I would reconsider next time
Left on 08/07/2010 for a stay in August 2010
I have often booked with your company in the past and I found the Islander a good place. I'd never stayed there before. However I purchased insurance because i was taking my dad, 87 and in-laws (81 and 83) as well as my wife and two kids. after the big floods in Nashville i had to rebook for later in the summer, which was no problem. Then, a month before we came, i called to cancel because of the reports of oil on the beaches. I was told I needn't cancel, that I could cancel right up until the last minute. So I agreed to stay booked. In the interim period I had a serious car wreck, and the reports of oil continued, with warnings from Escambia county web site, etc. Also, with all of the problems with the flood and car wreck, I decided we probably shouldn't go and since I was told I could cancel right up until the last minute, I called. The young woman who handled my request was very kind. Mr. Shorey or Mr. Brooks, I'm not sure which one,then got on the phone and told me there was no way I could cancel, that the policy had changed and that if I did not come, I'd lose my money. He was very rude. And I also checked with the insurance company, which said I'd have to file typical, long paperwork. Since insurance companies have not been helpful to me in the flood and in the wreck (I was t-boned by a driver who ran a light) I had no faith that would work. So I decided the only thing to do was to come down there, since I was going to lose my money if I didn't. The stay in general was good, the facilities nice. However, the last day of our stay there was an eyeopener: A large group from New Orleans turned the pool area into an adults-only drunken party that went on way into the night, making it almost impossible to sleep. Since there was no security on site, I didn't know what to do other than sit there and fume about how a trip that was ill-destined in the first place was ending on a sour note. Yes, it is a great place. And all of the office workers at Brooks and Shorey are

One of the closets in the master bedroom smelled like urine. We had to keep it closed at all times because the smell was so strong. The oven handle was broken, which was a pain. Some of the light bulbs were missing in the lamps.

Dora, AlabamaVacation/Wedding Trip to the Islander Resort
Left on 07/01/2009 for a stay in June 2009
My family has been staying at the Islander with Brookes and Shorey for about 6 or 7 years. We have always been very please with everything. Only once were we upset that the condo we had reserved sold before our stay and we had to change condo's but we were given the penthouse at another location and in the end it was great. This trip was for our vacation and for my son's wedding that took place on the beach 6/27/09 with the reception in the lobby of the Islander that evening. EVERYTHING and EVERYONE was GREAT!!! The employees were awesome. (I will give a shout out to Aaron and I think his name is Jimmy? He is the morning guy!!) The only thing that I was disappointed with was the room. All of the rooms that we have used have been decorated and painted to feel like you were in a top notch place. But the condo 7010 was not. Furniture was looking shabby and the walls need painting and there was alot of greenery that was old and dusty. With us having pictures taken with the bride and groom in these rooms -I was disappointed that it looked so bad. And also the remote to the 3rd bedroom did not work - we changed the batteries and that was not the problem. Also the sliding glass door had a handle that one of the screws was stripped and was just attached by one. The screw kept coming out. And one more thing the tile floors were in bad shape - they were all scratched up with black marks. We look forward to coming back again next year. It would be nice to get some kind of discount with being a frequent visitor!!! It was nice to have a place that for my son and daughter-n-law can come back to and remember having their wedding on the grounds. Thanks for everything! Pam Barnes

Left on 10/13/2008 for a stay in October 2008
The carpet was obviously worn and the paint was needed refreshed. The overall cleanliness was lacking. The size and location are great, just spruce the unit up again. It would have to undergo a renovation before I would stay there again. The people at Brooks and Shoreyi were kind and helpful. I guess I didn't ask enough questions regarding the upkeep of the unit.

Overall wonderful; few comments:
1. pillows were hard
2. ice maker had no ice -- even after a day it never made much
3. Check in not at condo was inconvenient, particularly since we arrived early and were required to leave by 10am. Would have been great if option of picking up/dropping keys at office was permitted. -

WE stayed there last year and don't know that we will come back. Though rules are necessary,we couldn't get to the beach a few times because gate locked after 7:00 am. The worker was a bit rude while at the pool. The pool tags are necessary but my son lost his the first day out in the ocean and my kids were asked to leave the pool a few times without the tag. It was much nicer to be able to check in at hte condo instead of elsewhere. NOt convenient if you needed any thing additional. We never had our internet access and just bought our additional supplies that were supposed to be provided. Too many people over the 4th but that is expected.

For the past several years we have tried various locations for our yearly beach location, and found the Islander to be the best. The staff at Brookes and Shores Realty were very friendly and professional. The Islander was close enough to everything that you could look for at the beach, but just far enough away to feel relaxed. The condo itself was spacious and had everything that we needed.
