Blue Ocean Breeze is the hidden gem at Islander on the Beach! Yes, it is 1 minute from the beach and beautiful Coconut Coast sunrises but also 12 seconds from Imua Coffee Roasters where you can grab an amazing brew to enjoy along with the sunrise.
What makes this unit special are the features added with the latest remodel. We have stayed at several IOB units and the layout and features here are likely the best at IOB. Added are a full counter with cabinets above and below as well as a below the counter microwave. The usual mini-fridge has been upsized including a freezer over fridge. New tile backsplash and lighting brighten the living space. The couch and bed are comfortable and it doesn’t feel crowded. While AC is available we opted for just the ceiling fan and an open screened sliding glass door from the lanai to capture the trade winds to stay cool.
The upgraded bath trades the traditional tub for a walk-in custom tile shower with low curb. Shelves next to the shower hold beach items. The attractively styled vanity backed by new glass tile has plenty of room. We found there was ample space to hang clothes.
Overall the improvements are light and airy and have given this unit an amazing beach-house feel! Blue Ocean Breeze is at the top of our vacation list!
