Our non-smoking condominium sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico. The two double sliding glass doors leading to the private balcony provide a stunning view of the sugar white beach and the emerald green water unobstructed by surrounding buildings.
The bedroom has a beautiful king size bed, a dresser, two night stands, mirror, television, vcr/dvd, and half bath. The living room is decorated with a two queen/full size sofa sleepers providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for four additional people. All floors in the condo,with the exception of the bedroom, are covered with beautiful porcelain tile.
No need to waste your precious time and money running out for fast food breakfasts and lunches. The kitchen is fully equipped to make your stay comfortable and affordable. The unique counter doubles as a dining table giving you a perfect ocean view while you dine.
The 27 unit complex offers a swimming pool complete with lounge chairs, bathrooms, and outdoor showers. The complex is far enough from the main drag to be a truly peaceful experience but is just minutes away from some of the Emerald Coast's most popular restaurants, exciting nightlife, and family attractions.
Enjoy a considerable savings compared to other condos with similar amenities.
Previous Guest Comments:
Condo was beautiful and the view gorgeous. We felt so close to the water.
Our jaws dropped as soon as we opened the door. Because of the openness of the condo we could see all the way to the ocean-it was so beautiful. This condo was so clean and smelled woncerful. A rare find for the price. Thanks for sharing!
You have done so well in decorating your condo-it was very nice yet family friendly. We enjoyed the personal checkin and renting from a true native. Thanks for all the helpful information. Hope to see you next year!!
Our honeymoon was perfect - Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful condo. All of your extras made it very special. We enjoyed watching the dolphins each morning. We hope to be back for many years.

Mark is one of the few true Natives of this area and we enjoy sharing a little piece of our paradise with others.
Why the Owner Chose Island Sands
After traveling to Hawaii with our children, we realized how truly blessed we were to live in such a wonderful part of the country and purchased our beach home with its breathtaking view of sugar white sand and emerald green water. We live nearby and always enjoy meeting our guests.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
We have enjoyed renting our place for the last 6 years and have tried to provide all the comforts of home along with the stunning view.

Cindy met us at the condo and had everything clean and ready to go for us. She had the little extras for us. Detergent, toliet tissue, extra paper towels and even fresh flowers along with a goodie basket for us. She tried to make everything very special for our stay. And she succeded in making our stay the best ever. The view was spectacular and it is a small piece of natures heaven. Thanks Cindy so much for everything, you are a special person to care about your quests and not just the rental part of your condo. Thanks Laura Bowling Green, Ky.

Wow, we are very thankful to have stayed at a great condo on the beach. The view was wonderful and all the extras in the condo made it very comfortable. The owners’ personal touches and friendliness as we checked in was such a blessing. Even the other guests were very friendly. We do hope to be back and thank God for allowing us to go.

My mother and I decided to come down for a girls' week and stayed here June 14-21 and it was beautiful! Cindy, you made everything so easy from our check in to our check out, and all of the little surprise welcome touches were greatly appreciated! The condo is truly "a little piece of paradise"! The moment you walk in, you can look down the hallway and see straight out onto the beach and ocean. So Peaceful! The condo is fully stocked with appliances, dishes, linens - bring your clothes and your food and you are good to go! Beach service was great. Nice big umbrella and chairs already set up for you, and if you go out in the evening after beach service is ended, there are very comfortable beach chairs in the condo that are easy to take down to the beach. We saw dolphins every day and had wonderful weather. Location wise, it's really in a great place. The condo itself is right on the beach, but very close to the Destin Bridge. To get into Destin took less than 10-15 minutes. I HIGHLY recommend staying here. It was my first beach vacation in probably 15 years, and it was wonderful! Thank you Cindy and Mark for letting us stay at Island Sands! Hopefully we'll get to come back next year!

We found this condo on VRBO, booked it and stayed for six days at the end of August and over Labor Day. We were so very pleased with everything. The owner's person greeting and orientation to the condo helped make for a great stay. We were able to entertain several friends for dinner. The view is amazing, the beach immaculate and the faility has everything. Thanks so much... Pat, Bob and Matt

We just browsed the internet and found this great place. We stayed three nights and loved every minute of the stay. The view is excellent and we would highly recommend Cindy and Mark's place. Cindy was there at check-in and made sure we had everything we needed. It is unusual to have the owner greet you at the door with the key. The best place we have stayed on the beach!

Cindy is an excellent host! The condo was beautiful and much prettier than the pictures show. From the moment you walk in, the view was breathtaking. This was definitely the best view we have ever had of the beach and ocean. We enjoyed eating out on the balcony and listening to the waves. The location is perfect and convenient to all of the restaurants and activities in the area. Cindy makes sure you have all of the extra items you need and makes you feel at home. We highly recommend this condo!
