Love the place. The beach is over crowded though with all the high rises all up and down the beach now! Beach not as crowded just a few years ago when we first started staying at Island sands 303!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The Fort Walton Beach area has gotten more crowded as the work has gotten out about how great it is. Come back and see us again.

This was the first kid free getaway for my husband and I and the condo was great. The beach chairs were amazing and the condo had all amenities we were looking for. It is on the third floor, but the walk up did not bother us one bit, because we had a beautiful view. Already planning our trip back.
