Ocean Sands Condos, Madeira Beach

Updated October 2026.

Ocean Sands is a pair of Gulf-front high-rise condo buildings at 14950 and 15000 Gulf Boulevard in Madeira Beach. Listing records show two separate associations, Ocean Sands One Condo at 14950 Gulf Blvd, built in 1980, and Ocean Sands Two Condo at 15000 Gulf Blvd, built in 1981. Both offer studio, one and two bedroom units with direct beach access. Listing records show a two week rental minimum and one small pet for owners. It suits buyers who want a smaller beachfront unit they can use part of the year and rent for two weeks or longer.

Location and setting

Ocean Sands sits on the Gulf side of Gulf Boulevard in the northern part of Madeira Beach, with units facing the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. An agent page places it about 1.5 miles north of John’s Pass Village, and listings for corner units describe views of both the Gulf and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Madeira Beach is a smaller beach town with a mix of condos, homes and low-rise resorts. For more on the city, see our Madeira Beach guide.

Residences and amenities

Listing records show three main floor plan types: studios of about 520 to 600 square feet, one bedroom units of about 900 square feet and two bedroom, two bath units of about 1,225 square feet. Listings describe Gulf-facing balconies, with some corner units listing a 30 foot balcony, in-unit washers and dryers in many units, and storm shutters or impact windows in renovated units. Many units are furnished and used as rentals, so condition varies.

Listing records and agent pages describe these shared features:

• A heated beachfront pool and spa
• A beach deck with a tiki bar
• Shuffleboard and grills
• Direct beach access and outdoor showers
• Elevators, bicycle storage and on-site management
• Gated entry with a code

Rules buyers ask about

Rentals

Listing records for both buildings show a two week minimum rental term, and one listing notes the owner pays a fee to the office for each separate rental. One building summary describes short-term rentals as not allowed, which conflicts with the listing data. Rental rules can change by owner vote, and the two associations may differ, so confirm the current minimum, any fees or approval steps and how rentals are managed before you rely on rental income. Our guide to short-term rental rules on the Pinellas beaches covers the city side.

Pets

Listing records show owners may have one pet of about 20 pounds at maturity, and tenants may not have pets. One listing states the limit as 19 pounds. Confirm the current rule with the association for the building you are considering.

Parking

Listing records show assigned parking under the building, generally one space per unit, plus guest parking. Confirm which space conveys with the unit you are considering.

Building condition and condo law

Built in 1980 and 1981 and well over three stories, both Ocean Sands buildings fall under Florida’s milestone inspection law and the requirement to complete a structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) and fund reserves for the items it covers. Because each building has its own association, review the documents for the specific building you are buying in. Request:

• The milestone inspection summary, and whether a phase two inspection or repairs followed
• The most recent SIRS and the reserve funding schedule
• The current budget and annual financial statement
• Twelve to 24 months of board minutes
• Any adopted or proposed special assessments, including for concrete, balconies, windows or the pool deck

We did not find public news reports about Ocean Sands specifically after Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024. Storm surge from those storms caused widespread damage along the Madeira Beach shoreline. Ask how the ground level, parking, pool deck and building systems were affected, how repairs were funded and whether any insurance claims remain open. Our guide to Florida condo milestone inspections, reserves and SIRS covers what to look for.

Flood and insurance

Listing records for units at Ocean Sands show both AE and VE flood zones. Ask for the building’s flood zone and elevation information, the master policy declarations including wind and flood deductibles, and quotes for your own HO-6 and flood coverage early in your inspection period. If you plan to rent, ask your insurance agent about coverage for rental use. Our flood zones and insurance guide explains how zones and elevation affect coverage on the Pinellas beaches.
