Island Sands 103/ Beach Service included 🏖️/ Steps to the Beach/ Gulf Front 🌊/ J

Island Sands is a hidden gem located on Okaloosa Island in Fort Walton Beach, FL. This small 27-unit condominium offers a peaceful retreat with an uncrowded beach. Listen to the waves roll in and feel the powder white sand under your feet as you walk down to the beach, just steps from your back door. The community swimming pool provides a relaxing place to sunbath and take a dip. Close to all local attractions, entertainment, and restaurants... Island Sands is the perfect beach location.

This ground floor unit is great for families with small children. There are no stairs, elevators, or balconies to worry about. There is a grassy area just outside the back door that provides a great spot to hang out.

This was our first time, as a family, taking a beach vacation so It was also our first time renting a condo that was beachfront. This stay was everything we could’ve hoped for. Super clean, easy access to the beach, and the entire place was family friendly. We will be back again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

We loved being able to step out the back door and be literally steps away from the beach. Having chairs and an umbrella included was also a nice perk.

We had a wonderful vacation. The place was quiet. I enjoyed stepping out of the back patio and walking on the beach. Definitely a family place. It was nice to be able to cook in the kitchen and do our laundry when needed. We were also 5 minutes from the Gulfarium.

As the title implies, this property is perfect for a quick stay but otherwise lacks basic amenities such a blender. The property is also older and the furniture expresses this. There's also construction set to occur at the building, much of the "face" of the building has scaffolding & some of the building is being supported via beams & air jacks? Likely of course they wouldn't do this if it was "safe" but I can see how some folks would feel uncomfortable.

Enjoyed our stay very much. Accommodations were comfortable, and well provided for. Access to the beach couldn't have been easier! Sunrise and sunset walks were both spectacular & soothing. We look forward to returning!

The property was really close to the beach which was the best thing about this place. Not very far from Destin at all…so gorgeous beach minus the Destin traffic. No major issues that needs to be addressed.

Condo was very clean when we arrived and we were luckily able to check in early! Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and plenty of room. Loved the informational binder and would definitely book again!

1st floor right by the boardwalk was very nice. Small complex so getting chair and umbrella on beach was easy. Place was very clean and just as shown in the pictures.

We loved the location everything you would want in a rental like this. Only regret is not renting it for two month's.

Steps from the beach, great amenities in the unit. Just need to figure out how to stop the dryer from constantly beeping but that doesn’t take any stars away!

Great to be right on the beach. The condo had everything that we needed. It was a home away from home, only having the beach at our back door. All appliances worked. The bed was comfortable. The patio was a great place to have coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the late afternoon.

Room was very clean, well stocked with extras. my only complaint would be the couches were very uncomfortable that short time we spent on them.

Location is fabulous especially with a 4 year old! Cleaning could improve. Beach was beautiful & close. I was sad not to see the beach every morning but happy to to have to struggle to bring in groceries. Restaurants are very convenient to this location. Overall great stay.

Perfect for families. The condo is not busy and it’s right in front of the beach. With an active 7 year old, being on the ground level was a plus. The only things to note: they do not have additional beach chairs, sand toys, and the pull out voice facing the TV could probably use a new mattress. Overall, would definitely return.

Unit was nice ..clean.. but the patio sliding doors needed 2 men and a truck to open & close each time .sorry ..just saying..
