About this property

**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!!

There is nothing better than getting up in the morning come out to get coffee and the first thing you see is the sand and ocean. This condo is so nice and comfortable to stay in. Valerie was in contact with us a couple of times making sure we were taken care of. We will definitely be back next year. Now off to the balcony to enjoy a margarita and listen to the ocean before we leave tomorrow. Till next year. Can’t thank you enough for the wonderful hospitality.

The condo was beautiful and the hosts were amazing. You can't get any closer to the beach, white sands, and clear water. Sitting on the deck you can watch the pelicans and osprey fly overhead as you are listening to the waves hit the shore. This is the most perfect location and the hosts have provided 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, which are set up daily by Hank, who is super friendly! Don't let this one go!

This place is a gem. Super clean, adorable inside and the view is unbeatable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It is a very short walk right down to the beach and the chairs are all set up. We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the ocean.The bed was really comfortable although the pillows, not so much. We did run out of TP. Those are literally the only two things that weren't perfect. I'd book this again in a minute.

This was easily the nicest condo I have rented along the panhandle. The building was incredibly well kept and the unit was the same. The condo was so clean and comfortable. It was beautifully renovated and maintained. While not necessary, you could tell that the owners have made updates that make the space feel like home rather than just a vacation rental. The kitchen was beautiful (we loved the counter top!) and it was appointed well with dishes and cookware. I was so impressed at the quality of everything provided. It didn’t look like they just put a bunch of unused or unwanted items in their kitchen for guests to use…it really felt like being at a home away from home. Same with the decor and the furniture throughout the space. Everything felt very purposefully placed for comfort and enjoyment. The view was beautiful and beach access was perfect. Couldn’t have been better! We’re already trying to find availability to come back! Thanks for hosting us and providing such a beautiful space!

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!!
