Great Island Sands condo

This condo was clean, quiet and comfortable. It is much better than staying in a hotel. There were all the features of home except on the beach. We have stayed here before and the condo has been updated since last year. It is located in an area where it is quiet with very little traffic. I would recommend this stay to anyone.

The beach in October.

My wife and I have been coming to the Destin area in October-November for the last 5 years. We have stayed at similar properties and had minor issues that made us look for a different place to consistently return to. We like the Fort Walton area. This unit had several features missing in other places we stayed: very clean, owner personally involved, no need to bring anything other than clothes and food, decorated very nice. This is a 3rd floor walk-up, just fine for us, but may be an issue for people that can’t carry a lot of stuff up steps. Loved it. We plan to return.

Perfect Beach Condo!

This was our 6th year at Island Sands and first time in #309. Mrs. Pat has been the friendliest and most accomidating host we've had. We loved being on this 3rd floor corner unit as it gives you a wider view of the ocean and a better breeze on the balcony. The comfortable bar height balcony chairs we perfect for our morning dolphin watching as you can see over the railing easily. We love Island Sands because you feel so close to the beach (quick easy walk down the stairs...no elevator or lobby to deal with) and because you get to know your "neighbors" for the week since the complex is small. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of extra pillows available. There are 2 couch beds and our daughter approved. We loved that Mrs. Pat had left plenty of dish and clothing detergent, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, as well as spices, some coffee/tea, etc. Plenty of plates, cups and cookware too. We enjoyed the board games as well as the nice tvs. It's also is really nice to have the nice new carpet in the bedroom and den...soft to walk on. The free beach service (8am-5pm) is great and she has extra beach chairs to use too (but we brought our own). We loved sitting on the beach until sunset, then watching the stars from the balcony later (3rd floor has better star viewing because the roof doesn't overhang as much). Such a peaceful week! Highly recommend Island Sands #309! We Will be back!

Great place on the beach and Ocean!

Great place to stay in Fort Walton! This is our second time staying at this condo unit. Great owner and great condo! We like that it is family friendly and that it is a smaller condo building- meaning the beach is less crowded than other places near by.

Such a wonderful condo!

The condo was simply fabulous. Actually the best location in the entire building. Equipped with everything you need. Pat was always available to answer questions and provide information. We really enjoyed our time there, it's a shame that the 14 days were over so quickly. It wasn't our first visit to Fort Walton Beach, but it was certainly the best! Hopefully we will have the opportunity to rent this great apartment again in the future. Thanks! Corinna and Sven

Quiet and clean

This was our first time staying in the Okaloosa area. We love the Florida coast especially the quieter, less crowded beaches! Property was very clean and quiet. While the view is excellent and 100 ft from the beach, be aware condo is a 3rd floor walk up and you must walk down stairs and behind building to access the beach catwalk. We had a great stay!

Great Experience!

LOVED our stay! The building is older but it had everything we needed. #1 being an amazing location! The condo was very comfortable and loved the decor. The owner has things available for guests that you don't normally find in other stays. Detergents for laundry and dishes, beach towels, spices, and more! The bed, bedding & couches were all great. The view from the balcony is perfect! The included beach service is only steps away!! You need to go down early to be sure you get your favorite spot. The owners are nice, responsive, and truly want you to enjoy your vacation. We loved our stay and plan on booking again next. year!

Great View

Pros: great view, good decor and floors very clean... Walked around barefoot and left flip flops at the door... Feet clean after walking around barefoot. Kitchen stocked VERY well, nothing needed from home whatsoever. Cons: 3rd floor is alot of stairs. Things not cleaned well above 4ft. Fridge set so high that beer was ice cold but milk was actually frozen and eggs frozen and cracked...ruined alot of food. Freezer had no ice so we made multiple ice runs. The bed- worst sleeping experience of my entire life, would have preferred a pallet on the floor to this child's soft mattress. Also, previous guest or cleaning crew must have washed a large load of laundry and left it in the washer to mildew drastically... It was washed again but the smell of bacteria and mildew was so strong would couldn't sleep in the bed. We HS dyo strip all linens at midnight, find clean sheets and sleep with blankets the kids used on the car ride down... The mildew smell was on towels and other linens as well. The lock was not complicated but the directions were not clear...and my dad's a locksmith and I'm very handy....not just me for certain!

About the host

Hosted by Pat Okenica

Host profile image
My husband, Ed & I currently live in Georgia and have been visiting this area for 35 years! We own and operate our own real estate firm at Lake Oconee, which is located 70 miles east of Atlanta, Ga. Old enough to retire, but not ready to give up the 'game'! We have the best of all worlds....living and working on a beautiful 19,000 acre lake in Georgia & owning a special getaway place on Okaloosa Island! We manage it ourselves and it's always very clean and neat. And, of course, the view of the Gulf is like no other!! We would love to share it with you! Please give us a call and we'll tell you all about it!

Why they chose this property

Emerald green waters, pristine beaches, away from everything, but close driving distance to it all. Stunning sunset views. No impersonal high rise buildings! Need we say more?

What makes this property unique

Small Complex, 27 units - 100 feet from the beach - Corner/end unit with it's own private entrance. Extra window in living area enhances the views and the brightness in the rooms, not to mention the view! Sitting on the balcony makes you feel like you could 'reach out and touch the water'. Dolphins playing and Pelicans swooping in for their 'catch of the day'. Convenient to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, yet away from the crowds & traffic of Destin. It's a dream come true!
