Hurricane Update:
The entire complex is built on pillars more than 20 feet off the ground. The condo sustained no damage, we have been accepting guests for several weeks, the pool has been completely drained, acid washed, refilled and we have installed a new pump, a new filter and all new equipment. The pool has never looked better, the beaches are open, the restaurants are open and the weather is fantastic.
Savor sea breezes and sparkling views of the aquamarine Gulf of Mexico from the screened-in lanai of this freshly updated second-floor 2BR/2BA sunrise view Beach Sands condo. Just steps to private beach access! Warm your toes in sugar-white sands, and immerse yourself in the Caribbean-blue waters of the Gulf, where dolphins play daily.
The open-concept interior has a soothing ambiance with a palette of caribbean blues, driftwood gray, and crisp white. Both bedrooms have soothing gulf views.
Beach Sands 202 boasts a sleek new kitchen with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, a pass-through window, and a tray ceiling with backlit soffit. This shimmering fiber optic star ceiling adds a touch of magic, perfect for evening meals or evening gatherings.
The formal dining table seats six; breakfast nook seats four. Both dining areas overlook shimmering Gulf waters. Beach Sands 202 is the ideal retreat for families, couples, and snowbirds alike.
Living: The main living room exudes refined coastal elegance, featuring upholstery in soft, beach-inspired designs and décor that echoes the tranquility of the Gulf. The luxury vinyl plank flooring, reminiscent of sun-bleached driftwood, adds warmth and texture underfoot. Thoughtfully designed with recessed lighting and a modern ceiling fan, the space offers both comfort and style. Unwind on the plush sofa or armchairs and stream your favorite films on the 65" HD Smart TV, or enjoy quiet moments with a book and ocean breeze. Sliding glass doors open to a private balcony—your personal perch overlooking the Gulf—where you can sip an evening cocktail surrounded by frangipani fragrance and salt-kissed air. It’s the perfect setting for connection, reflection, and relaxation in paradise.
Kitchen/Dining: The stylish, new, fully equipped kitchen is a chef’s dream! Sleek white quartz countertops with bold, black veining boast a high-contrast pattern that evokes hand-drawn ink—add modern, artistic flair and pair beautifully with the fiber-optic star ceiling above.
The kitchen backsplash in this condo is a serene focal point. It features glossy blue tiles, arranged in a pattern reminiscent of rippling ocean waves, or a shimmering school of fish, catching light subtly and giving a fluid, dynamic feel. Deep blue tones create an ever-shifting, luminous effect. It’s stylish as well as practical and easy to clean.
Prepare a tropical feast after a day in the sun in this beautifully appointed kitchen, outfitted with ultra-modern white cabinets and sleek stainless steel appliances, including a glass-top electric stove, oven, microwave, French-door refrigerator with icemaker, dishwasher, and a deep, farmhouse-style sink for easy cleanup.
The kitchen is fully stocked for culinary adventures, featuring quality pots and pans, full cookware and utensil sets, sharp chef-grade knives, dishware, glassware, a coffee maker, kettle, toaster, and blender. A white quartz pass-through bar not only streamlines serving and entertaining—it ensures the chef stays connected to the conversation. Whether you're whipping up a sunset dinner or blending piña coladas, this kitchen is designed to inspire.
Start your mornings in the sunny breakfast nook, where a round pedestal table and four upholstered chairs sit beneath a beachy rattan pendant lamp. Framed by two corner windows with stunning views of azure waters, sand, and sky, this cozy space is ideal for sipping freshly squeezed citrus juice or a morning cup of coffee. The nook also offers versatility—it can double as a quiet reading corner or remote work spot with an inspiring view. There’s a stackable washer/dryer just off the kitchen beside the breakfast nook.
For alfresco dining, take advantage of the screened-in lanai or poolside picnic area- perfect for barbecuing fresh-caught seafood, steaks, burgers, or veggie kabobs. Gather your group for a laid-back island cookout and enjoy a taste of paradise under the open sky.
Bedrooms/Baths: Beach Sands 202 has two bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. These ocean-view bedrooms have large windows with shades, plenty of natural light, luxurious mattresses, and sumptuous bedding. The primary has a sliding glass door that opens to the screened lanai. Both bedrooms have spacious closets, bureaus, Smart TV’s, and nightstands with reading lamps.
Both en suite bathrooms have sleek white quartz single-sink vanities, well-lit mirrors, and walk-in, glass-door showers with sparkling white tile and luxury rain shower heads. Both bathrooms have plush bath towels, toiletries, and hair dryers.
Outdoor Amenities: Step outside and in just 400 feet, your toes meet the powder-soft sands of one of Florida’s most stunning beaches—famous for its dazzling seashells and clear, aquamarine waters. Swim alongside playful dolphins in the gentle Gulf surf, then return at dusk to watch the moon rise and stars emerge over the horizon.
At Beach Sands, unwind in the expansive 35' x 15' heated community pool, surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping. Whether you're splashing with little ones or floating lazily under the sun, the pool offers something for everyone. The spacious deck features barbecue grills, loungers, umbrellas, and shaded picnic spots—ideal for laid-back cookouts and poolside margaritas. Palm fronds whisper in the breeze while the cabana provides convenient changing rooms and showers. Enjoy a quiet bite or chilled drink on the private screened-in lanai, where a café table for two overlooks the shimmering Gulf. As evening falls, settle in and watch the sky transform—sunsets here paint the world in breathtaking shades of coral, lavender, and gold.

Pool was heated and enjoyed that! The building itself is very old but condo is nice and updated. The photo don’t do a good job of showing that it is on a major road and not directly on the beach but the sunsets were stunning and this didn’t end up being a problem just wasn’t aware from the photos. “Bbq” area is very sad two old chairs and a coal grill in the middle of a parking lot.

Kristin,
Thank you for your review. There is a google pinpoint map on the property listing that shows the exact location of the property. You knew it was across the street from the beach before you booked it.
