You can’t beat the beach access! You are literally right there, steps away from the beach. The host/team was great to work with and beach service was on point. Everything is tucked back in its own little area, which is refreshing! Parking wasn’t even an issue in our F350.

Beach Weekend
We enjoyed out stay for the beginning of April 2026. We only stayed a few nights, but the property was clean and looked just as the photos and listing described. We were very happy to have all the extra towels and also the shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, and dish soap was helpful for a short stay! We enjoyed being on the 1st floor because it made it very easy for me, my wife, and my two sons (age 6 & 4) to go to the beach! You couldn't see the ocean from the patio because of the sand dune, but the landscaping was nice, the weather was perfect, and you could hear the ocean nicely. Overall, it was a nice experience.

Beautiful place. Very roomy, clean and well stocked. Idk what’s up with other reviews but 103 was amazing, clean and updated. Couldn’t beat it being that nice with a little yard and right on the beach. We will definitely be back!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Some of the furnishings in the kitchen were worn out, example aged baking pan with rusty spots on it, too dangerous to cook in. The coffeepot did not function properly. Coffee over run every time used, had to stand by it to hold the coffee pot up to the driper. After mgt looked at it and stared it was new. Its just not a good machine, or the coffee pot had been replaced and did not fit properly. None of the cooking pots had fitting lids. The bed mattress had a low spot the size of an oversized Fat man made an indentation in it. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. The other furnishings were fine. The sleeper sofa was great.

I personally went to the unit upon the guest concerns. The coffee maker is brand new. The guest did not know how to use the dual drip/ K-Cup coffee maker. (I showed the guest how to use the machine)- the mattress is brand new and purchased a month ago. The cookware is also in good condition. This is not a valid review for this property. The whole unit has been upgraded with new floors, paint, mattresses, etc.
Very comfortable play to stay! Great location and very convenient access to the beach!

Sea Oats is so nice. Location is right off the bridge. On the beach. Our experience from start to finish was outstanding. Quick response when we had a question, easy check-in and check-out. Chairs and umbrella on the beach were definitely needed. We had all we needed. I want to come back. Thank you

So Great! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed yourselves. We look forward to booking with you again in the future.
We loved being able to step out the back door and be literally steps away from the beach. Having chairs and an umbrella included was also a nice perk.

The property was really close to the beach which was the best thing about this place. Not very far from Destin at all…so gorgeous beach minus the Destin traffic. No major issues that needs to be addressed.

1st floor right by the boardwalk was very nice. Small complex so getting chair and umbrella on beach was easy. Place was very clean and just as shown in the pictures.

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at Island Sands. It is such a sweet little beach condo. Come and see us again.
This was our first time, as a family, taking a beach vacation so It was also our first time renting a condo that was beachfront. This stay was everything we could’ve hoped for. Super clean, easy access to the beach, and the entire place was family friendly. We will be back again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
