15000 Gulf Blvd

Ocean Sands is a 12-story concrete condominium complex built in 1981 on Madeira Beach’s Gulf frontage. The property is configured primarily with two-bedroom residences (plus studios and varied layouts in listings) that emphasize open floorplans, split-bedroom arrangements, and multiple built-in storage options. Units commonly feature tile flooring that extends to private balconies, solid wood cabinetry, stone or granite counters, in-unit laundry, walk-in closets, tray or crown ceilings, ceiling fans, and sliding glass doors that maximize water views and daylight. Exterior elements include full-length balconies with hurricane shutters, assigned under-building parking, private storage closets both on balconies and on hallway levels, irrigation and lighting across landscaped grounds, outdoor grilling areas and showers, and multiple beachfront decks with tiki huts. Shared amenities lean toward resort-style recreation: a heated pool and spa overlooking the Gulf, expansive pool deck with lounge seating, shuffleboard courts, BBQ stations, and community tiki bar spaces. Security and access features include coded entries and elevator service. The association permits short-term rentals with a two-week minimum, allows one small pet for owners in some units, and maintains a modest fee structure relative to beachfront comparisons. The site is walkable to nearby restaurants, grocery, the post office, public library, Waterfront ROC Park, and John’s Pass Village, while Downtown St. Petersburg is a short drive away for cultural and dining options.
