About this rental
Ocean Sands is located on 5.5 acres of beach front stretching over 700 feet along the Gulf of Mexico. Located at the intersection of Madeira Beach Causeway and Gulf Blvd., it is within easy access of all main thoroughfares and I-275.
Our parents purchased the model unit at Ocean Sands because it showed them a spectacular view of the Gulf of Mexico from the eight floor. You can see the water from the kitchen, living/dining room and master bedroom with ease. The kitchen windows also offers a view of the fishing boats on the bay side. Beautiful landscaping, a heated pool and jacuzzi, a sun deck, rec facilities such as shuffle board, and covered parking are meshed with the natural setting of the sun, sand and sea to make Ocean Sands one of the most popular condominiums on the Suncoast.
Unique Benefits
You will never get tired of looking out over the gulf no matter what time of day. Everyone loves their morning coffee or tea on the balcony but the most peaceful time may be night time, looking at the blinking lights on the lobster boats and buoys. Clear nights are great for star gazing
Why Kids Love It
Our children loved the pool and the beach and when they got older they enjoyed meeting other kids at the jacuzzi at night. They played basketball and tennis across the street in the park. Miniature golf was just up the boulevard and we could walk to several ice cream shops after dinner.

About the owner: My sisters and I inherited this condo from our parents, who were original owners of Unit 806. Since we lived in New York and were 1200 miles away my parents decided to purchase the model unit in the building because it was so tastefully decorated and they were convinced that the best view in the tower was right from the 8th floor.
Why this property? Ocean Sands is built on five and half acres of land and utilizes 700 feet of sandy beach. It has recently been re-painted and had the elevators upgraded. In the last few years the pool and spa were renovated. The management team is always looking for ways to improve Ocean Sands for its residents and guests.

John L.Serenity
Condo was extremely nice with many, many extras including towels, beach items, cooking utensils, seasonings etc. Most of all the condo was very clean and the owner responded quickly to any and all needs.The view was amazing and there are plenty of places to eat and shop within walking distance. Bed in MB was very comfortable and the very large patio oceanside was very enjoyable.

AnitaBeautiful and stunning condo
Me and my family have stayed in this condo multiple times and I can't have any complains. The unit is gorgeously well kept and spacious and is ideal for a family vacation. With the unit being on the 8th floor, the view of the ocean and sunsets never fail to take your breath away. The complex also has many desirable features such as a large swimming pool, a hot tub, and a barbeque area. The condo is walking distance to a number of grocery stores, bars, and restaurants. I highly recommend this condo to anyone interested in staying and I will certainly be returning in the future.

Urszula I.Beach Heaven
We went to MB in July 2007 for the first time. We absolutely fallen in love with this place. Been back here every year since, different times but mostly in December. The place is spacious, huge master suite, and balcony with breath taking views. Elevator goes straight to the beach, pool and hot tub, great especially in coolet winter evenings. Owners afe very accommodate and super friendly. Cannot wait until ger back there
