Great Spot
The location of the this property is everything!!!! The Gulf was our backyard which is what we wanted! The area was quiet and very relaxing while sitting on the balcony watching the waves! The only issue were the furnishings for the living/dining area. I think they were clean but they show obvious signs of wear and tear as does the carpet. We’d stay here again if only for the view and tranquility that’s offered!!

Spacious
This was prob the most spacious one that I've stayed in yet and the view was awesome. Very clean also. Remotes were missing they offered to bring another one but we declined since it wasn't a big deal. No need to make a special trip. I would def recommend this to family/friends but I prob won't use it again as it's on the 3rd floor (no elevator) and I need handicap accessible but it was really quite lovely. The patio set was very comfortable and high so you could see over the balcony.

Extremely need of TLC
Management responded to three things that made it worthwhile to stay. But we couldn’t even enjoy the balcony due to fear of getting fetus from the table and chairs. We did enjoy our stay with amazing views. Bed is very soft and comfy to me. But needs extream need of TLC!!

The view was great!!
The view was great. But the condo is in desperate need of some TLC as far as the furnishings. The mattress was horrible. No support. The entrance door looks terrible. The dead bolt would not lock. The furnace filter was beyond dirty. The microwave - the protective coating on the inside of the door was peeling off. Not sure the microwave was safe to use. The couch is very worn. You sunk down when you sat on it. The chair was very dirty and worn. Sad that a unit with such a beautiful view and such potential isn't kept up better. The other units in this complex seems very well maintained.

Nice view, outdated room
The rental was very outdated… rusty front door, peeling wallpaper and paint, shaggy brown carpet (in a beach rental?!) and older fixtures. However, it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The view from the balcony was wonderful! Wish the balcony chairs were higher so you could see over the guardrail though. Bring your own coffee if you’re checking in late, there were no “first morning” supplies available. Just enough toilet paper for the time we were there and 2 tiny bars of soap. No laundry detergent supplied either. With this view, this rental could be outstanding with a little remodeling and some amenities.

Small but quaint
It is nice for two people or maybe with spouse and 2 small kids. Not for 4 adults. The beach was beautiful and the guys that set up the umbrellas were so nice. You will will need to bring beach towels, they don’t supply them and the kitchen accessories are limited. We did love how very few people we had on the beach because of being a smaller facility. We definitely would stay again.

I came here by myself to get away from everything and it was everything I imagined and more. It was January but it was still sunny and 70. Easy check in, location was right on the beach, I had a beach view from my room and the photos are completely accurate accurate. Thank you for vacasa for such a wonderful stay I will definitely be back soon!

Great View
This place had a GREAT view of the ocean front! The only negatives I have are there was a musty smell to the condo, the carpet was matted down and I think it could be replaced, and it needs a fresh coat of paint on the walls. But otherwise, you can't beat the view and the short walk to the beach. The location was wonderful and quiet too!

Quick trip getaway
We decided to take a weekend trip and found this condo on short notice. It was in a great location and we were very pleased. Like the other reviews it is a bit dated and could use some upkeep, however we were pleased with our stay. Will return again.

Can't Beat the View
Honestly for the price you cannot beat the view. The pool is on the back side of the property so your room view is as close as you can get to the water, plus the third floor is nothing but unobstructed views. I've stayed in several different condos in Island Sands, and I would say the only downfall of this unit is that it's not as updated as the rest. There is carpet in the living room, which I found odd, but it's also pulling up in places, I even felt some staples coming in places between the kitchen tile and the living room carpet. The couch isn't as comfortable, but the TV is excellent. All in all it was a great stay. We had no issues with the unit it just could use some updating. Definitely check out The Back Porch for dinner, it's delicious!

Best beach views
We’re enjoy staying there ! it’s right on the beach! it’s a plus , clean but , few things need a attention to be close to perfect! Vertical blinds missing lots of pieces so if you want a little privacy at night you won’t get it . Watch out for carpet nail between kitchen and hallway you will step on its and shower knobs need a Little attention! That’s all beside all that we like it

Room 306
Overall we were pleased with the condo and it had a great view. I was worried about the mattress situation after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised they had replaced the mattress with a king size memory foam mattress and we slept great. We did not use the pull out on the couch so I am not sure about that. You can tell the building is older and carpet DEFINITELY needs to be replaced. There is a huge television in the living room and a smaller one in the bedroom. They need to remove some rusty old chairs on the patio before someone gets cut on them. The beach service provided beach chairs and umbrella. Overall we were pleased but do not go expecting it to be pristine and up to date. The pool area and bathrooms in the pool area were super clean. There were only two lounge chairs by the pool though. We stayed March 2021.

Last minute trip
I traveled with my husband and our 2 kiddos, 11 & 1. Pros: - Unit was clean - Unit's location is WONDERFUL - WONDERFUL VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cons: - Third floor and NO Elevator access ( 4 flights of stairs) - COMMUNICATION IS TERRIBLE - we got there and the door code they sent me via text did not work. So I checked my email...door code they provided via email was different but also did not work. LUCKILY I was able to text the number that text me and did get a response (We checked in on a Sunday at 4 so the main office was closed). I also had issues within the unit and was unable to get anyone to respond via VRBO. They had some other app they ask you to install and it had conflicting check out times, conflicting reservation numbers so I just uninstalled it. - THE BED WAS TERRIBLE - we were here for a week and trying to sleep was the worst part of the trip. Someone just needs to throw that mattress away - it is that broken down. It sunk in under the weight of my 17 lb one year old so you can imagine what happened when my husband, her and I laid down at night. I managed about 4 hours of sleep each night. IF YOU HAVE A BAD BACK - DO NOT BOOK THIS UNIT. Furniture - The rest of the furniture including the pullout couch looks like it was in it's prime in the 70s and it feels like it to. The chair in the living room was very uncomfortable, the pullout couch was soooo uncomfortable I ended up buying my son an air mattress. It would have been nice to sit in the living room and enjoy the view but there was just no where to get comfortable in this entire unit. This was a last minute booking for us so I was tryjng to remain thankful that we were all together on this beautiful beach but I would never rent this unit again. The actual Island Sands condo, absolutely.....but never this unit unless they replaced every bit of furniture in there. Hope this review helps someone else!
