**GULF FRONT CONDO** Amazing Ocean Views* Island Sands 308 w/beach service


Thank you for visiting our condo online! We absolutely love this condo and we hope that you will too! We keep it updated with conveniences and decor for our guests to have an enjoyable experience! (If we don’t have the dates you desire, we have another listing on the 3rd floor as well in Island Sands. Check it out - vrbo #1939710 )

**This condo is sanitized and disinfected**

Located on Okaloosa Island, this third level unit is on the top floor of a quiet complex that sits directly on the beautiful white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. This beautiful beach is our backyard! You just can’t get any closer to the beach! As a smaller condominium complex with 27 units, the beach is much less crowded and we have our own private boardwalk. The unobstructed view of the sparkling emerald waters and the beach from our living room and balcony is spectacular! The brilliant colors of the sunrise and sunsets are captivating. The moonlit nights also display their own glistening beauty across the waters. The spacious living room with two sets of sliding glass doors that open to the balcony overlooking the beach includes a nice comfortable queen size sleeper sofa. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and many extras for those choosing to eat in, and the dining area seats four. There is a washer/dryer in the unit for your convenience. The bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed with a new top notch Sealy mattress set, and a private half bath. The full bath is beautifully updated and located off of the hall. We have nice linens and towels, and our housekeeping service will have our non smoking condo clean and prepared especially for you! There is a reserved parking place for our guest, as well as self check in/keyless entry for your convenience. Our outdoor pool is equipped with bathrooms, lounge chairs, a grilling area, and picnic tables, located in front of our condo. The back of our condo faces the beach, and from the balcony is the gorgeous beach view. The beach service we provide for our guest includes 2 chairs and 1 umbrella, set up daily from Mar 1 through Oct 31. We have two beach chairs in the bedroom closet for our guest as well. Kayak/paddle board rentals are also available during this time. Please remember to bring your own beach towels!

*Our condo is a non smoking property. Smoking is not allowed inside the unit or on the balcony* Due to our outdoor stair entrance into the condo, we are not wheelchair accessible. Our complex does not have an elevator.

Beach life fun is all around us! Okaloosa Island has everything you need for a relaxing fun filled vacation. Dolphin shows at the Gulfarium, a walk on the boardwalk, or fishing off the pier are five minutes away. Golf, mini golf, water sports, parasailing, jet ski rental, dolphin cruises, etc., are all close by. Outlet shops at Silver Sands are just a short drive, and antique shops in downtown Fort Walton are there for leisure shopping. We are away from the traffic and crowds of busy Destin, but only 6 miles from all the activity Destin has to offer as well. Many delicious local seafood and steak restaurants are available. Visit emeraldcoastfl .com for more information on upcoming events, beach fun activities, restaurants, etc., in the area.

Whether you are looking for a family vacation, romantic getaway with your spouse, or time alone, the location of this ocean front condo will offer many wonderful memories!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about this condo! My husband and I have been taking an early anniversary trip to FWB together since 2020. We've stayed in Island Sands a few times before, in different units, and had great experiences too, but this one set the bar high! Everything about this unit was amazing. It was clean, ready at check in time, stocked with everything you need. Has comfy living room seating, soft/comfortable bed, and the ocean views are amazing! The owners were super communicative and you can really tell they want you to have the best vacation stay! I have zero complaints about this condo or the owners and I will definitely be booking again in the future!!

Everything was great except for the pool area. Landscaping has been neglected and I pulled weeds from the cement cracks. The pool had some algae areas that need to be taken care of in the future.

Perfect vacation spot.

The condo was lovely, very clean and had magnificent views. The owners were wonderful and kept in touch with us during our stay. The beach chair/umbrella service was one of the highlights of our vacation. If I could rate our overall stay , I’d say 10 out of five!

Cleanest, best equipped and maintained condo on Okaloosa Island

We have been coming to Okaloosa Island/Fort Walton Beach for over 15 years, often twice a year. We have stayed in most of the condo buildings on the island. This unit is by far the cleanest, best smelling and best equipped we have stayed in.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Seamless from check in to check out. Valerie was sure to provide us with updates and happenings going on with the condo as well as local events on the island. The condo was spotless, the bed was comfy, and we got just what we came for...rest and relaxation! This condo is definitely one of our favorites and we look forward to returning one day!

Amazing week!

We had an amazing week in this condo at Ft. Walton beach. The condo was beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home. The views were so perfect! We loved it being a little "quieter" area, but still having close access to many wonderful restaurants & things to do. The best part was Victor & Valerie. They made us feel right at home, were so gracious and accomodating & made our week even better. It was a wonderful trip! We certainly hope to return very soon!

ALL 10’s!!

Location on the island is PERFECT. The unit had EVERYTHING! Closest to the beautiful beach we have ever had. The bed was PERFECT! The hosts should be very proud of their condo AND themselves. Somehow they even threw in a week of perfect weather AND topped it off with full moon rises over the GULF every night which we watched from the balcony and beach every night. A GREAT PLACE!!

Great Getaway!

This property was everything exactly as advertised! Clean and modern decor framed the amazing balcony view. Everything in the condo worked well and we had no issues. Weather was not great but it was nice to spend time in the condo watching the ocean. The owners were very responsive and texted to check that we were doing okay or if we needed anything. Would highly recommend this property and hope to return.

A little piece of heaven!

After postponing our original trip to Florida in May, we finally made it in October. The weather is a little cooler, but still great. This little gulf front condo is beautiful! With the beach, sunrises, sunsets and dolphins - what more do you need? If you need a place to unwind, relax and rejuvenate, this is the place to stay. Valerie and Victor, thank you for sharing such a gem with us and for accommodating our change in plans. We appreciate your gracious hospitality!

3rd year staying and still just as great!

This is our 5th year staying and Island Sands and 3rd year staying in unit 308. We love how small the building is (not over crowded beaches) and that the unit comes with chair service as well as extra chairs in the closet (this is helpful bc sometimes the chair guys pack up before we are ready to go up). This unit is equipped with plenty of supplies to cook meals at the condo. It is very comfortable and we also love the extra half bathroom which is unusual for a one bedroom unit. We always have clear water, see lots of marine life, and enjoy our stay so much! Communication with the owners is always amazing which is very much appreciated.

Island Sands 308- December 2019

While going through the listings in vrbo, this property caught my eye. The pictures were colorful and inviting. The decor was fresh and welcoming. We had never been to this area of Florida, and so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed at all. The condo was clean, bright and had updated decor. The view from the balcony is beautiful all day, and watching the dolphins and stingrays was enjoyable. The owners were so easy to work with. They checked in with us a few times just to make sure all was well. My husband and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and comfortable time.

Wonderful Getaway

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful condo on the beach for a week and wished we would never have to leave. The owners could not have been more helpful in getting everything set up and making sure we had all the information we needed to walk into this Wonderland. You will want for nothing, they have thought of everything. The housekeeping was top notch and everything is spotless. All you need to bring is your bathing suit and a beach towel and set your mind to relax mode. The condo is right on the snow white beach and the view from the third floor lanai is perfect for seeing everything going on (i.e. dolphins swimming by, boats on the horizon). Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. We hope to return someday soon.

Host profile image
We have really enjoyed vacationing here on Okaloosa Island for the past 10 years and are excited to now call it our home away from home! The captivating view from the condo living room and balcony is exceptional! Island Sands is a smaller condominium complex, so the beach is much less crowded. We love the island that offers so much for us to enjoy without a constant battle of heavy beach traffic. It truly is a perfect location!

We will be here often to enjoy and will keep the decor and conveniences updated. We know your time is precious and we want you to have a wonderful experience during your stay. We welcome you and yours to come and visit our special place! SO much beauty to behold on the Gulf Coast!!
