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
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.
We had a wonderful vacation. The place was quiet. I enjoyed stepping out of the back patio and walking on the beach. Definitely a family place. It was nice to be able to cook in the kitchen and do our laundry when needed. We were also 5 minutes from the Gulfarium.
This was our 2nd stay at Island Sands. It was very convenient being able to walk right out to the beach. No elevators is a big deal for us with 3 kids! The room was very clean and had everything we needed! Kids slept on the pull out couches with no complaints. We love coming here. Everyone is always so friendly and are usually there for the same reasons as us.. less people!! No fighting for a place on the beach or having other families right on top of us. The whole trip was great, we will be back next year!
Great Location and enjoyed stay, but a few hiccups!
The positives:
First of all, we loved the location of this condo. Super easy to access beach and pack stuff to and from. No shoes required just a few steps to the boardwalk. Easy with kiddos to travel back and forth for lunch or if we forgot something. Also, the beach service was excellent with providing two chairs and an umbrella and the guys were super nice. The beach was not crowded since the condominium is only three stories and it was family friendly. Parking was easy to get to, steps from the door. The water and the sands was beautiful! The condo was fully stocked with lots of towels, rags, dishes and everything we needed!
The negatives:
When we arrived the whole condo smelled like rotten seafood/curry. It took us a while to figure out that it was coming from garbage disposal. We had to go to the store buy bleach and garbage disposal cleaner to try to get the smell out. It was awful. It got the smell out somewhat. The wifi never worked and the coffee pot leaked when you poured it.
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.
Enjoyed our stay very much. Accommodations were comfortable, and well provided for. Access to the beach couldn't have been easier! Sunrise and sunset walks were both spectacular & soothing. We look forward to returning!
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.
