We had a wonderful experience at 109 Island Sands in our 3 week stay. We appreciated convenient parking at the entrance door with no steps/stairs to climb! The kitchen had everything we could imagine...full size stove, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, cookware, blender, a large washer/dryer! The king size bed was comfortable as was the sofa pull out,(our daughter stayed a few nights) The full bath plus half bath was an additional comfort. The unit is nicely decorated. It was just a few steps to the dune walk bridge to the exquisite white sand beach. Judy provided helpful info to restaurants, things to do, alternative routes and answered any questions we had, she is very pleasant to talk to. We enjoyed our stay so much that we will be returning next year. Thank you Judy and Chris. Ron & Shari

Little Slice of Heaven
The condo was wonderful. It has a charming beach cottage vibe. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. We had everything we needed and more. Our son was in another condo and kept coming down to ours and admiring it. Can’t say enough good things about Judy as a host. She is great to work with. The beach is a very short walk from the condo. It made things much easier for my husband who has difficulty walking long distances due to a stroke and neuropathy.The beach is absolutely beautiful. Restaurants and a grocery store are a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay so much. Highly recommend this condo.

Great vacation
My spouse, myself and our three year old had a great and relaxing vacation. I loved the personal touch of children’s movies and books in the condo. Very close access to the beach and the bottom corner unit gave a sense of privacy. Judy was very kind, caring and communicative about the stay! We would book again.

Great Vacation
My family loved the location. Walk out the back door and you’re only a few steps away from the beach. The kids loved the ability to do beach and pool. The smaller complex made the beaches less crowded and it was always nice to have a couple of beach chairs and umbrella already up and ready to go. Would definitely stay here again.

Great place for small family
The condo was a great size for our family, two adults w youngest son. Quick access to beach which was clean and had chair service. We enjoyed the pool, clean and convenient. Owner checked in on us by text and phone to ensure we were happy with place. Only down side might be that it would be a long walk to get to restaurants. We knew that ahead of time tho. We would stay here again!

Only choice from now on!
Property was amazing. 109 ( bottom floor) is the unit to get in this building. 5-6 steps from parking spot to room door. 10 steps to beach access out of the back door! Unit was clean, and as advertised. It’s far enough down Santa Rosa Blvd so you aren’t bothered by traffic noises, loud music, etc. Judy made sure we were taken care of from the minute we booked. Unit looked fresh and new! Can’t wait to go back.

Great Beach Experience
We found the condo to be decorated in a very warm beach-themed decor. If you want to be on a great beach, this is the place to stay! We appreciated having the beach just a few steps out the front door. We enjoy preparing many of our own meals and this was the most completely equipped kitchen we have ever found in a VRBO. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Would like to stay again if the opportunity presents itself.

Beautiful property
We prefer to stay in places that are "not high rise". Judy's unit was beautiful. First floor...kind of a must for us (our regular home is zero entrance) and we loved that this home has no steps to get in the front door! The complex was very quiet.
Beautiful patio furniture (a must for us "snowbirds"). All inside furniture comfy and beautiful. Building is small enough that we actually got to know several of the other people there...again a plus for us. Beautiful kitchen, all necessary kitchen needs (and thank goodness a Keurig coffee maker!). Condo was very clean and welcoming! Judy is SUCH a sweet lady! She made very sure that we knew about good restaurants, things to do, etc. We very much enjoyed our time here!
