Islander Beach Resort is a 7-story structure of 114 condos on a short 2 mile stretch of Okaloosa Island with direct views of the beach and ocean. Exterior upgrades have been completed on the building, which is now painted an aqua blue and gray. There are 2 elevators and lots of parking. Guests can freely access the beach, pool, BBQ pits and parking area (a parking pass is needed), but you will probably spend the majority of your time on the large private balcony overlooking the pool and beach.

CHECK-IN PROCEDURE: Check-in is at 4:00 PM. Your door code will unlock the door only AFTER 4:00PM on the day of check-in and BEFORE 10:00AM on the day of check-out. (See DOOR CODE LOCK OUT below). We have a self check-in procedure. You will not have to stop at a rental office or lobby front desk. The management of the rental unit is conducted only by your Vrbo host and her co-hosts. There is a co-host available on the premises and your Vrbo host is just minutes away.
SECURITY: The Condo Association manages the security of the building, the parking lot, lobby, beach services, the pool, and other common areas. Early check-ins CANNOT be scheduled due to our contract with housekeeping and our Smart Lock security.
**DOOR CODE LOCK OUT** Entry to the unit is controlled by Smart Lock software. If you try to use your assigned door code to unlock the door before the 4PM check-in time, the lock will deny access! Multiple attempts before 4PM are detected by the Smart Lock as “Unauthorized Access Attempts”. If this occurs, your assigned code may be permanently denied access and will not work, even AFTER 4PM. Your access to the unit will be delayed until a new code can be reassigned by the host or someone can arrive to physically recharge the lock.
CHECK-OUT INSTRUCTIONS:
- Check out is at 10:00 am. Your door code is set to disengage at that time. Please gather dirty towels in a pile on the bathroom floor.
