What a view and access!

What a peaceful, serene location away from all the commotion closer to Destin. Amazing view and the utmost convenience to the ocean. Loved having beach chairs and umbrellas set up for us in the morning. Didn’t need to use the pool but it looked inviting.

As close to the water as you can be

This beach get-a-way was probably the most convenient one we have had. Close assigned parking, very short walk to the beach; less crowed beach and beach chairs/umbrella provided. The only negative here is that it is showing its age. I would stay there again.

Beautiful view of beach

Very nice view and location steps to the beach. Love the smaller condo and new balcony. Beach service was very nice to save your spot each day. Condo has most items except laundry detergent so we didn’t get to use new washer. Only a small gas station is closest so one would need a car to get to all restaurants and shopping.A black out curtain would be nice in bedroom to reduce brightness at night and increase privacy. Condo could use some updating with painting to get rid of mold on ceilings in bathroom and refresh. We had a great stay and would def return.

Not up to par!

Let's start with the good: *beautiful beach *great location/quieter than Destin *had everything needed to relax *owner quick to reply (at first) Cons: *the bedroom overlooks the hallway & very close to stairs which isn't bad except there was only ONE curtain panel so there was not privacy in the bedroom. I had to get on a table and remove a curtain panel from the family room so no one could look into the bedroom, and I could safely change with assured privacy! Not OK!!!! *towels were gross. Spotted with what looked like dried mold. I would not use them! They were not going anywhere near my face or body. *floors were quite dirty and left my feet black so I had to clean the floors *garbage in kitchen was not emptied from prior renter. Not a huge deal, but still worth noting. *deck was just remodeled (which is great), but all the wood shavings were left behind so no barefeet on the deck. *I contacted the owner immediately once I realized the issues. She did not get back to me until the next day. She was very apologetic, and kind! *No smart t.v. so you are stuck watching commercials, and can't watch your own preferred programs.

Good property owner, not a great building

When we checked in, the unit had not been cleaned. We had to sleep on the couches because the bed was dirty. The owner, Gloria, was great. She offered us an extra night in the condo to make up for the inconvenience. I contacted her and she got a hold of the cleaning company. The lady from the cleaning company was not friendly. She seemed upset with us that we wanted the trash removed that was left from the previous renters. I would not recommend that cleaning company. The pool was very dirty and was not cleaned the whole time we were here. Will not stay at Island Sands again.

Great Place On The Beach

The unit was exactly as advertised and was right on the beach. Great view and easy access. Very clean. All the appliances were new and worked great. More lighting is needed in the kitchen over the stove top and that can be done with light bulb replacement. That is the only negative thing I could say about the unit. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great Stay -- Highly Recommend

We are 3 retired ladies taking a mini vacay. Location was excellent! Water and beach still best in the panhandle. Condo was comfortable. Would not recommend more than 4 adults though as sleeper sofas when pulled out are NOT comfortable. We slept on these as singles and it was fine. Could use some additional cookware for those who need to cook. Biggest need for us was an indoor table, wouldn't have to be a large one, but if that's not possible a card table with some type chairs to provide a place to play cards. One other thing, the table on the balcony needs replacing. None of the things I have mentioned are a reason not to rent this unit--- just my opinion as to what would make it even better. We had a great time and would rent this unit again.

Not what I was expecting

Pros: This place is in a great location, has beautiful views, and love the new stackable washer/dryer. Cons: You can tell (other than the appliances)that there hasn’t been a lot of upkeep done. One of the sofa beds was broken and isn’t usable, and also appeared to have a large blood stain on the mattress. Table on the patio had a large piece broken off of it. It was usable but an eyesore. Wrappers and other trash was left behind the tv stand. There were candy wrappers and other trash inside the first aid kit. Pictures shown on listing make this place look a lot better than it actually is.

About the host

Hosted by Gloria McCullar

By way of introduction I am a recently retired bookkeeper. Until now I worked for the City School System in my hometown, Tuscaloosa, Al.. Being retired gives me the time to put all of my energy into the rental business. I rent daily & weekly accommodations in Florida, Gatlinburg, Tennessee and guest quarters for Special Events in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.. Renting these units are satisfying and provide a service that is needed and appreciated. The extra bonus Is I meet people from all over the United States. I started this rental business in 1988. My goal is to give every guest the best accommodations at the best rate. When my guests are happy, I'm happy!

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with Okaloosa Island when I watched an engineer build a huge sandcastle on the beach one afternoon. The castle had candles inside the tunnels and a moat surrounding. It was quite a work of art. I watched until the emerald green waves washed it away at dusk. I was hooked, no pun intended! The sand on the beach was so white, the sunsets amazing and the town was perfect. It had everything to offer within 3 miles. It was 6 miles from Destin Harbor so had the same emerald green water as Destin without the traffic. The unit itself was large and had a huge balcony overlooking the Gulf. One of my loyal snowbirds describes it as a "'Million Dollar View"'.

What makes this property unique

This unit is decorated with comfort and relaxation in mind. It is tasteful but fun. It is larger than most one bedroom units because it was built before they began to run out of beach so is roomy and has all the amenities needed. The amazing ocean view can be seen from the kitchen, eating area, living room and private balcony that overlooks the Gulf.
