The rental was perfect. The view was amazing, it was peaceful, felt safe, had easy access to the beach. The rental was also clean and super cute. Had no issues during our stay and all questions were promptly answered by management, who were also great!

Sisters Getaway Spectacular! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This condo was perfect for our Sisters Getaway! Very beautiful and the view from the balcony was gorgeous.
The colors in the condo have beach vibe all over it and it looked just like it appears in the phots. It was very spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to cook.They not only had a drip coffee machine but a Keurig as well. I thought the toaster wasn’t working right and Maintenance showed up with a new toaster. (Turns out it wasn’t really broken, but operator error, me. Was I embarrassed)
One little touch I’ve not seen in other places is the way they present the towels in the bathroom. So pretty and made us feel welcomed and like we were at a 5 star hotel. I would definitely come back here!
I gave 4 stars for general condition as the couch and the area rug could use an update. They were clean but there are some stains on both which definitely do not go with the beauty of this condo!

Pelican Isle 312. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $95 ... $466 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Wonderful rental! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Pelican Isle #312 was a wonderful get-away.The property description was accurate and everything was functional. The view was amazing and the porch furniture was comfortable too. The master bed was really comfy and we slept well. My husband appreciated that the unit had a full size recliner and we LOVED that the unit included an umbrella and two chairs. Lastly, we took advantage of the XPlorie complimentary daily activity. That was a nice perk!

2025 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We really enjoyed our two month stay in Florida. Beautiful weather, beautiful beaches and a very relaxing stay. Our accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Although we weren’t able to have the original unit that we rented, the substitute was very nice. We would definitely recommend Sugar Sands.

What a view!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This is a beautiful condo! The view is gorgeous! The sleeping quarters are very nice. The unit is very clean and pretty. The kitchen has plenty of cooking utensils and dishes. The water pressure was good. The balcony closet was packed with Beach items to borrow. There were sand toys, kites, Beach chairs, a wagon and even a canopy set up! Of course the included Beach service is a huge plus! We enjoyed our stay very much! This is one of my favorite units! Thanks Sugar Sands! El Matador is a great complex that is well maintained.

Spring Break 2025 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We came to Ft. Walton for Spring Break as our son and his high school baseball team played in a tournament. This was our second time at Tropical Isle and we were not disappointed! We had the perfect amount of space for just my husband, daughter, and I since our son stayed with his team. It was super clean and very cozy. I loved having such close access to our vehicle without the hassle of messing with parking garages and elevators. The beach is very close and can be reached in just a short walk. Our daughter enjoyed the pool several days of our stay. There is a nice convenient store next store that is always stocked with necessities. We will definitely look up tropical isle 104 again for our next vacation to Ft. Walton Beach!

Tropical Isle 105. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $72 ... $228 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.
Great Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We have stayed at Sugar Sands multiple times. Only 1 time we've only had 1 thing that we didnt like and that was the floors had not been cleaned very well. Our feet were black from walking on the floors. We did not report it to management because it could have been an oversight. We have been pleased with all of our visits to Sugar Sands Tropical Isle.

Sister in Laws First Time to the Gulf ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The wife's sister and niece visited us in Temple, Ga., from Vancouver B.C. They had never been to the Gulf so we brought them down for a couple of days. The condo was very clean and convenient to the beach. The niece was excited about the bunk bed!! LOL. Be aware: we usually prefer a ground floor stay, but at this location, there is no Gulf view from the ground floor. We were on level two and had a great view.

Island Princess 211. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $131 ... $552 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Nice, relaxing stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was an amazing condo with great beach views! It was clean upon arrival and was decorated very beautifully with comfortable furniture. We had all that we needed for a relaxing stay of enjoying the pool and beach. The pool was heated to perfection and the hot tub was nice, altho it was small and always busy! The beach is beautiful and the chair service was nice on the beach. The only downside to this condo is the fact they didn’t provide pool/beach towels. I’m sure it’s not a problem for many who drive to this destination, but it is when flying since luggage space is at a premium! I would definitely stay in this unit again.

Nice condo ! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a fun time staying on the beach. Our condo was cute, clean and conveniently located. We used the walk over to go fishing on the bayside and we could easily walk right out to the beach from the condo! We loved how close it was to the Boardwalk and we took advantage of the free beachside chair service :) Everything about the condo was great for our family .

Spring Break 2025 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The vacation rental was great and very clean. It’s super close to the beach! My only two recommendations are that both bathrooms need updated shower heads. The kitchen could use a whisk and baking sheet. We will definitely recommend this condo and hope to stay again in the future!

Good location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unit was small but this was what we wanted to a quilt weekend. Decorated very nice. Nice sized bathroom with separate shower and tub. Loved the lazy river on bayside. It was too cold for the beach.

Some coffee cups have gone missing, we only had 1. I would stay here again.

Baseball Tournament Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Everything was great. Unit had everything we needed. Unit was clean when we arrived. All codes provided worked as they should. My only complaint would be the televisions. It would be fantastic if the televisions had a function to easily cast from our phones to the tv. If there was a way, we could not figure it out, pretty frustrating.

Great Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great Location. Condo has been well taken care of, also it was very clean. We booked the first floor but was hesitant but it was great. Short walk to the beach and pool and you could still hear the waves of the ocean. Jessie from Sugar Sands was very helpful and friendly before and during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Island Princess 318 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
I love Ft Walton and I love Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals. The condo unit is due for some love, BUT it was clean, on the beach, Beverly was most attentive to our needs. I always recommend Sugar Sands and will continue to use them for my trips to Ft Walton. They are local and personable and take care of your needs.

Island Princess 708. FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida. $124 ... $599 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Amazing view! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a great stay at this condo. The view was amazing and my favorite part. The King size bed was comfortable and my kids loved the bunk beds. I loved that the unit had a washer and dryer since you do have to bring your own beach towels, so we were able to wash those to use for the pool. Pool was heated (we came beginning of March) the hot tub was broken our first day and sadly was scalding hot the rest of our week so we were unable to enjoy that. I loved the beach set up that we were able to use daily, it was a huge plus! The location and beach were perfect. The unit had ample towels and was kept clean, shower did have what looked like some mold starting around one of the seals but still clean. The fridge did have a water filter with ice maker but the light to change the filter was on so not sure if that was just on our stay or all the time(we did not use it though because of this) The only real negative was some of the dishes were not clean, so we would pre-wash before using anything. Also not a lot of closet space for luggage but these few things were not dealbreakers. If given the chance we would definitely come back to this unit/location.

Island Princess Condo rented via Sugar Sands Rentals ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was our third consecutive year staying in the Island Princess condos. The condo is in a hard to beat location on the ocean with a beautiful beach to walk along. Everything we wanted was available to enjoy, such as an ocean side view from our living room, dining room, and kitchen. We enjoyed watching dolphins, surfers, fisherman, boats, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets from our 3rd floor balcony. If we needed anything from management, they were quick to respond and satisfy. We are close to shopping needs, restaurants, a pier, churches, and grocery stores. We paddle boarded and frequently dunked ourselves in the salty sea, even though it was colder than most people could handle during that time of year. We went to the Gulfarium and was happy to see manatees there, and we visited the zoo that wasn’t too far away in Navarre. We jumped on a fishing boat in the neighboring Destin community, as well. We hit the heated pool and hot tub frequently, and played at 3 different pickleball parks regularly. We have enjoyed getting to know the other people who come yearly, and look forward to seeing them next year. We eat at the condo primarily during our stay, and all the appliances, pans and dishware needs are available to use. The units are attractive and clean, as well. We loved are stay there, obviously.

My family and I had so a great time visiting Fort Walton Beach. Stayed on the 7th floor and would love to use the same unit again. Very clean and updated, had everything we needed for a family of four with young kids. The view was amazing, watched dolphins from the balcony every day. Can’t wait to go back.

Azure 403. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $185 ... $705 per night. 3 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.
Great Location, Roomy Condo on the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a great stay with Sugar Sands at Azure 403. The property was spacious, king beds in all 3 rooms, and a private bath for each. The unit is clean, modern, and very nice! The balcony overlooks the pool and beach and provides a perfect spot to relax. If I have to find a negative, my only thing would be mattress firmness. If you like plush or soft mattresses, these are not it. I would still highly recommend Sugar Sands and this unit.
