The Sands is a mid-rise beachfront condominium complex in Cocoa Beach built in 1978, six stories tall with roughly 30 residences. Units are primarily two-bedroom floorplans (many listings show three-bedroom variations or bonus rooms) featuring open layouts, split bedrooms, and walk-in closets. Interiors commonly include solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, breakfast bars, built-in storage, ceiling fans, window treatments, and in-unit laundry in many units. Floor-to-ceiling or large picture windows and private balconies are frequent, with many homes remodeled to modern finishes. Exterior attributes emphasize coastal durability: impact/ hurricane-rated windows and shutters, outdoor showers, private beach access via a community walkover, and direct oceanfront orientation offering sunrise and sometimes sunset exposures. Shared features include an elevator, private mailbox, modest assigned parking (some units include a detached garage), and low-to-moderate HOA fees that allow short-term rentals (typically 30-day minimum). The complex sits in central Cocoa Beach within walking distance of downtown shops, restaurants, and local amenities, and offers easy drives to Port Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. Pet and rental policies are permissive relative to many coastal communities, supporting both primary residences and investment/seasonal use.
