BEACHFRONT- BEACH SERVICE INCLUDED - Ground Floor-Unit102 Steps2Beach

WATCH our complete walk through VIDEO

Located directly on the beach. Walk outside your private patio doors to the beach access. BREATHTAKING VIEWS! Only Steps to the BEACH! Our condo SLEEPS 6 PEOPLE!

This small family oriented 27 unit complex, has its own private beach. No big crowds. Family oriented and a friendly quiet atmosphere.

WATCH THE WALK THROUGH VIDEO: The video will start from the entry door to the beach...Enjoy! You can do a search as they have removed the link, lookup Walk through video-Island sands 102-Ft. walton Beach.

Island Sands Unit #102 is on the Ground Floor. No stairs to climb. So, that means no climbing up and down the stairs to haul luggage in/out. And it's super easy to go to the beach. Simply open one of the two sliding patio doors and walk directly to the beach. Also, you get FREE BEACH SERVICE with our condo! An umbrella and two chairs, set up for you daily. You don't have to worry about packing chairs and an umbrella back and forth to the beach. Only minutes from Destin and no huge high rises. Convenient to shopping & restaurants.

When we purchased the unit we totally refurnished the entire unit and we're excited to share it with you!

FREE BEACH SERVICE: Yes, that's right! You get FREE beach service with our condo! One umbrella and two chairs are set up for you daily. (Beach Service dates are March 1 - October 31). We also supply extra beach chairs in the master bedroom closet.

KING MASTER BEDROOM: Yes, a huge King size bed! We purchased a NEW mattress set in September 2021. Full Dresser, 32-Inch Flatscreen TV, 2 Night Stands, 2 lamps, 1 alarm clock, new ceiling fan and the added bonus of having your own private 1/2 bath with a new sink faucet.

FULL BATH: A NEW sink faucet, shower curtain/liner and all NEW Towels.

LIVING ROOM: 2 Queen Sleeper Sofas. Both sleepers have comfortable queen Mattresses. They're nothing like the one we replaced, which you could feel the bars in your back. Ugh! These sleepers are great to sleep on and have commercial grade mattresses. Yes, they are very comfortable to sit on, as well. 50 inch flat screen smart TV (equipped with Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, Facebook and more - Must have an account to use access additional options), DVD Player, some family movies and books. Cable TV.

KITCHEN - FULLY STOCKED: Seating for 6 people. New Granite counters 2019, Refrigerator with ice-maker in freezer, stove/oven, overhead microwave, NEW kitchen faucet, counter-top small appliances (coffee pot, 2-wide slice toaster, electric kettle, blender, can opener). NEW extra large capacity FULL size washer/dryer 2019, silverware/knives, pots/pans & bakeware and Fiesta dish-ware.

LAUNDRY: NEW extra large capacity WASHER & DRYER 2019. Yes these are large capacity, not the small apartment/condo size washer and dryer you typically find in rental condos, that seem to have the capacity to wash a couple of towels at a time, and take hours to dry them. Large capacity allows you to enjoy your vacation, without laundry becoming a chore.

INTERNET: We have FREE wireless internet for your added convenience. Being on vacation, doesn't mean you have to be 'Off The Grid'.

OUTDOOR PATIO: Seating for 6 people! We have furnished the private patio with Sturdy outdoor Furniture. We love sitting and relaxing on the patio. It's a great spot to use the grill, sit and unwind, relax with family/friends or enjoy reading a good book.

50 inch Flat LED HD Smart TV in living room, with Smart Streaming (Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, Facebook and more - Must have an account to access some of the streaming options)

Great location
The property is in need of updates but I hear that’s in the works. The unit was in process of updating while we were there. Had very nice bedroom furniture and looked like new floors. Bathrooms were small but just 2 of us so no big deal. Loved the big kitchen counter. We didn’t cook any (vacation rules lol). Great location. Steps to the beach. Loved the chairs and beach service provided.

The beach area was not too crowded even with it being a Holiday weekend. If you want a property off the beating path and on the beach, Island Sands is great.

Great location for littles
We stayed with young children. If you travel with small ones you know there’s so much to carry and even an extra 100 ft can take forever. We loved being on the ground level so close to the boardwalk. The chair service really made the beach trips more relaxing for us.

Fantastic stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was the best of both world when it comes to close beautiful beach and clean pool just steps away. Perfect for family with small kids. We spent every morning on the beach, ate lunch at the condo, napped, and then swam in the pool in the afternoons. We would come back and use this host again. Loved the location and set up.

The property was nice and clean. It had enough kitchen supplies which is important if you don't want to go out for each meal. The bed was comfortable. We would defiantly go back!! Thank you, Chris and Katrina Chilton.

Walkway
The walk from the condo to the boardwalk needs some stepping stones or sidewalk that would cutdown on getting sand in the condo.

Issues with construction
We were given 1 day notice of constitution that was schedule to be completed mid April but was not. Our stay was booked for May 4th thru 11th. Owners did offer full refund or discount but 1 day left no time to find something else. We had no use or view of the patio doors to the beach, they were boarded up. Upon arrival the constitution of replacement balconies was NO way near being completed and in talking to others, (some owners) its obvious it will not be completed for another several months. The constitution team was rarely there working. I understand business is business but the owners should have shown a little more respect and courtesy by giving us more time. As a concrete and construction business owner, I am certain all parties involved knew months prior to our dates that constitution would not meet the April deadline. Simply notifying us on the April deadline would have gave us more time to find other accommodations but instead we were told on Wed May 3rd the day before our scheduled vacation. Very disappointing and I'm certain many OSHA guidelines not followed one being on trip and fall hazards.

This was our first time as a family to the Destin area. Loved the quietness of the area with the option to quickly be at all the Destin area shops. We had a great time at the beach! Property was great despite the construction. Can't wait to return!
