Wonderful!

There was nothing short of fantastic about this stay. No complaints. The oceanfront view is amazing. The balcony is where I spent a LOT of time. The furniture was clean and comfortable. All the appliances worked as they should. Genuinely one of the best condos I have had the pleasure of staying in. They were quick to answer any questions I had and the Vacasa team made sure I had all the info I needed before check in and checkout. Wonderful stay!

Great place for couple’s trip

It was perfect size for my husband and I. The only reason I won’t give it five starts is because the complex was under renovations and the floor was inside was dirty. The bottom of my shoes where black and I mopped the floor during my stay because it irritated me that the floor felt weird when I walked barefoot.

Not this place

Mattress was so loud we couldn’t sleep. Toilet in bedroom sounded like a train whistle when flushed. Black mold outside bathroom vent. Killed 2 big roaches. Wi-Fi didn’t work. Dishwasher had rusted out and broken prongs. Shower head needs replacement. Flimsy patio furniture. Nice view though

Great one bedroom condo on the beach!

I really enjoyed the place and it's right on the beach. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the slight musty smell that is normally at most condos on the beach in need of an Updating.

Just a general review.

The place was nice but definitely could use some upgrades and minor repairs. The bed was ok but could be way better. The shower was awful. If you want to call it a shower. Half the water ran out of the faucet and only a quarter ran out of the actual shower head. So I don’t feel like we ever got a good shower. The dishwasher was awful so are the dishes even really clean?! And we came in from dinner and there was a roach in hallway. I never leave reviews but we personally will not be staying here again. The plus side is it is small and quaint so that was nice. Not many people.

Noisy bed, broken dishwasher, small tvs

This is our 6 th time staying at island sands. While the condo was good and the view was spectacular there were a few minor things for the amount of $ we paid that could have been better. The bed in the bed room was comfortable but the box spring was super loud when you leaned against it or moved. Loud enough to scare you. While I know you are not there to sit inside, you do have to take a break… we were very disappointed at the 19” and 32” tvs. The dishwasher never worked correctly, I put in a request to have it looked at, maintenance guy said use powder or liquid… that still didn’t not worked. Called Vacasa to voice my complaints and no one, not even the owner returned my call or addressed any of these issues. Not an apology or anything. I spend allot of time and money on this vacation and I should have a little more luxury like not having to do the dishes by hand, sleeping in a noisy bed and barely being able to see the tv. :( We had to sit about a foot to two feet just to see it. I’ve would suggest some upgrades to the bed box spring, a new dishwasher and larger tvs. Thank you.

Overall nice place

Nice place and quiet. Toilet adjacent to bedroom was in need of repairs which was called to maintenance upon notice and was promptly attended to but not fixed. Dishwasher didn’t open the soap door and is rusted inside so pretty sure a new one is needed but other than that nice place to stay lots of games provided for family fun and beautiful view of the ocean.

Nice Getaway!

The condo was in a great location with beautiful view! Although it was busy, people staying there were young families or older adults so the atmosphere was active, but not noisy, which we loved. Saw dolphins our last morning!

Exactly What You See

I can not express the joy and comfort we felt in this condo. The people and the surroundings were wonderful. From the first time you step into the condo and see the view, which is breathtaking. It is perfect in every way. We also loved the beach service! We will be renting next year.

October 2021

The view and location were great, but the condition of the beds made it a horrible experience. The bed in bedroom needs to be replaced.. I have never seen a bed that bad in a place I have rented: I got no sleep. It is completely worn out. I then tried the sofa bed and it was broken and the mattress on it completely worn flat. It ruins your vacation when you get up hurting from trying to rest on worn out and broken beds. I will never stay in this unit again because of this reason.

Have stayed at Island Sands numerous times in different condos. While all have been extremely nice, this one is my favorite. Wonderful location and view from the balcony. Condo was clean, well equipped and was very comfortable there.
