Beautiful views, perfect location

This condo met all our needs. The view from the deck was amazing. It was wonderful to just open up the doors and listen to the crashing surf. The beautiful white sand beach was amazing and we loved the location. We enjoyed our time immensely. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Peaceful

We liked the fact that it is only 7-10 minutes to all Destin has to offer; yet, when at the property you have direct access to the beautiful gulf with ocean front view in all its splendor, with no noise of the busy streets, just the wonderful sound of the waves... would go back in a heartbeat!!

On the Beach Beauty

Easy to find and dedicated parking. The stairs are an easy climb. Stocked with lots of gadgets so you have the comforts of home when you’re inside. Beach facing so the view can’t be beat and the balcony is a delight.

Love this condo!

This was our 2nd time staying in this condo, and the 4th time staying in one owned by this owner. Sarah cares about her properties and it shows. Everything was clean, working properly, fully stocked, and enjoyable. The bed and pillows are SO comfy! It's the perfect size condo for mine and my husband's anniversary weekend. The beach service is awesome and you're only a few steps away from the sand! I will continue to book this condo year after year!

Beautiful

We absolutely loved this place. The view was beautiful, it was just enough far away from the city, but still was close to plenty of places. We were there when Helene came through, but luckily we just had some high wind gusts. 10/10 would definitely book this location again!

Wonderful week

Loved the condo! Only downside was 3 flights of stairs had to climb! No elevator and hubby walks with cane which made it rough but our stay was just what we needed and would return again just not on third floor without elevator! Thanks so much for sharing your condo we had the best time! Donna and Rich

Small but Nice!

First, I should tell you there is NO elevator so take heed if you cannot climb 3 flights of stairs. But if you can, it is a great condo. We enjoyed it very much! The location is perfect, we try to always stay in this area. You simply walk down the stairs, just around the building and there is the beach! Wonderful! It was very clean, had a fully stocked kitchen, great wifi, very comfy bed. Only 1 bedroom with small bathrooms but it was just perfect for our needs. We will stay again.

Nice vacation stay.

Overall its a great location. The beach is a short walk away. The actual building itself though is older and needs an update. The inside of the condo was nice and clean though. While we were there the majority of the structure was being held up by metal poles on each floor. Made it seem a little uneasy. Also there is no elevator so it can be a haul to get your things upstairs.

Wonderful Summer Vacation

We had a wonderful time at Island Sands. Love the location and being right on the beach. It’s not as crowded as Destin, but close enough to go there when we wanted. The condo was very clean and decorated really cute. I would definitely stay here again.!

Best Beach VRBO we've stayed at.

This is the nicest, cleanest, well stocked VRBO the wife and I have ever stayed in. Close to the beach, not crowded, beach service included. Will stay here again, even on the 3rd floor. Only knock is parking spaces are really small for a larger vehicle. (Ford F-150) 10/10.

Vue magnifique

Condo très propre et très bien équipé. Sarah est très gentille et a répondu à nos questions . La vue sur la mer est extraordinaire . Seuls points négatifs pour nous : pas de recyclage des matières plastiques, des contenants . Nous avons reçu une contravention pour s être promenés sur la partie de la plage appartenant à Air Force: comme bien des gens s y promenaient et cela tout au long du mois, nous pensions que c était permis : peut être faudrait il avertir vos futurs locataires . Merci
