Our condo is right on the ocean - when sitting on the large balcony it almost feels as if one is sitting on the beach. Ocean Sands boasts not only a large pool but also a spa in the landscaped outside area. There is lovely landscaped outside space on the ocean side as well as on the road side of the buildings, with well cared-for lawns, an abundance of palm trees, hibiscus and azaleas, and other tropical shrubs. At the front of Ocean Sands there is a large and beautiful fountain which changes colour throughout the evening as the lights play on it.
Ocean Sands is so conveniently situated as several shops and restaurants are only a few minutes walk away -including a large supermarket and pharmacy. In addition there is a Beach Trolley, a regular bus that stops right outside the complex, also another local bus that goes to a mall with department stores.
The main recreation ground and park for the city of Madeira Beach is a few minutes walk away which has games fields, a large children's playground and tennis courts so that when my very active family visits there is safe space for ball games nearby.
The Gulf Beaches library is a few minutes walk away where dvds and books may be borrowed by residents and renters.
Ocean Sands is a quiet but friendly place and all amenities essential for a vacation are within easy walking distance.
