Islander East 103 2 Bedrooms 1 Bathroom Condo

The ocean balcony is the highlight, with ships visible to the east as they travel through the channel. We return each Christmas-to-New-Year week, and always book the two-bedroom corner condo. It sleeps six easily, with two king beds and a pullout sofa, plus a dining set, three bar stools, a sofa, and several chairs. A street-facing balcony connects the bedrooms, with plenty of seating, and the living room has another balcony facing the ocean. The front one sits far enough from The Seawall that traffic doesn't disturb you. There's a boardwalk from the condo to the beach behind the Islander East Condominiums. Staff at the front desk are wonderful and helpful. Howard and the rest of the team are friendly when needed, and they stick closely to the condo rules.

The kids loved the pool and open space, and there was plenty of parking. Our family reunion worked out great here, with clean condos, helpful staff, and easy access to the beach. We'd happily come back.

After Ryson Vacation Rentals sold our unit just two hours before check-in, I called in a panic from the airport. The front desk folks found us a great ocean-facing condo, and we couldn't have asked for a better stay. The kids had a blast at the pool, with the beach just down the boardwalk. The area was quiet but still close to all the tourist attractions.

We brought our two young boys and my parents, ages 5 through 75, and everyone had a great time. It's a quiet spot right on the beach, with a heated pool and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.
