Horrible
Room was not beach front.
Size of a closet.
No privacy.
Did not stay and could not get any refund.
Rented a nice hotel $100 cheaper.
Never again.

A disappointing stay
The lights and the air conditioning in the rooms weren't working. The kitchen facilities were not very good.

Working in longboat key
Very sweet little motel the rooms are a little small, but still cozy. I had ants in my room during the day another coworker stayed there at a different time and have the same issue. Great location, though easy access to the beaches.

Some things could use sprucing up, especially the outdoor sitting area. The furniture was kind of beat, but the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. Location was great, on a quiet street, close to the beach, shopping and dining. Great price! I'd stay again.

Can't recommend
Sadly, I found this accommodation unacceptable.... To the point that a friend's son took it upon himself to move me to a beautiful guest apt in his condo bldg. I stayed at the Islander the first night only. It's a bare bones place in an area that is in the process of recovering from hurricane damage. That doesn't explain why i was awakened by the couple in the room next door, talking very loudly as they came in at 4:30a. They cont'd that for a while. I no sooner finally got back to sleep AND exceedingly loud construction noise started at 7a right next door.

The location of this property is perfect to go to St. Armand’s and Lifo Beach. The owner is not easy to contact and response is not perfect. We booked this place knowing it had wifi so we could work and we were never able to connect! Owner said they would stop by but was never fixed.

I booked this room because it was close to the beach and it was advertised as clean and affordable. When I arrived it was dirty. There were ants infesting the entire place and no one on site to help. I was offered another room which was just as bad- these rooms are worth $50-60 per night.

We’d do it again
Heat didn’t work the last night. The spigot from the shower was hanging off the wall and the handle to adjust the water temp was leaking right into the gap between the wall and spigot. The bathroom could have been much cleaner and mold was found where the vanities door opened at the hinge side. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and wasn’t wrapped to protect from bed begs. I was told there were 12 rooms and 12 parking spots, there were only 11, had to park in the street one night thankfully it was off season so not much traffic. Sign to business was gone after the storm. Wasn’t really sure we were at the right place initially. Property still needs a bit of cleanup outside. No room service so had to catch the person who flipped the rooms to ask for more coffee, only caught her one day. The location though, that’s the start of the show! Even after all of these things, we would stay again just for the location.

Overall the property is well maintained, the only small issue was that the small TV in the living room had a remote control that needed new batteries. But besides that, the property met my expectations and I did enjoy a good night sleep on the second floor.
