I agree, White Sands 1 condos right on the beach are great, but extremely expensive now, and now need a little tlc - so much salt water spray. I also have friends who have condos in White Sands 2, and they have no problems, and all the paperwork in place, but the walk distance is a lot shorter than you say. My friends in White Sands 2, have less than 4 minutes to walk to the beach, and even us in Carey, on the other side of the fairway, its only a 12 minute walk for us to get to the beach. The White Sands 3, I dont know anything about, I know they were advertised for a sale a long time ago, but havent been finished yet.
