Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $164 ... $682 per night. 3 bedrooms. 7 Max Occupancy.
Amazing ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The place was amazing!! Very clean and nicely furnished. The condo is located on the end of the building so no foot traffic from other guest past your door. The view from patio is beautiful with no obstructed view of the beautiful white sand. The thing I like most about the property was its location. It was far enough away from the touristy part of Destin to be quiet and relaxing but only 7-10 minute uber ride to the exciting night life. We never had to wait more than five minutes for an uber.

Home away from home ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great place! Clean, comfortable and very spacious for our party of 4. Easy access to beach. Easy drive in / drive out and close proximity to restaurants. We definitely look forward to staying here next summer! I would like to suggest that a blender be placed in the unit so we could make piña coladas and margaritas. :)

Best vacation stay!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a great stay at Sugar Sands. The condo was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. The beds were cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the whole place felt well taken care of. The location was perfect too, close to the beach and nearby restaurants but still quiet enough to relax.

Beverly was especially helpful throughout our stay. She was very responsive, kind, and made everything easy from check-in to any questions we had during the trip. Traveling with kids can sometimes be stressful, but having a host who communicates well and is willing to help makes a big difference.

Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the area.

Perfect Condo For 2 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
My wife and I have stayed at a hotel down the beach from this condo quite a few times. The last few stays have been less than stellar, so we wanted to try something different. We worried about renting a place that was worse.
All our fears were for naught. We loved this little condo! Great view of the ocean, perfect size for 2 (will hold up to 6 I think so if you have kids it's good too) and was super clean. Had the right utensils we needed in the kitchen, comfortable bed (nice mattress that doesn't bounce), and a huge TV to watch football in the evening.

We will stay here again if we can get it. LOVED it!

A great few days away at Destin West ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
My husband and I took a few days away together! Sugar Sands was very responsive and our condo was well kept and clean. The resort as a whole was super nice and we spent a lot of time on the bayside in the lazy river. The location is perfect being one of the last condos on Okaloosa island. Minimal traffic while still being close to everything. Once we returned home, I realized I left my purse in a drawer back at the condo. I called and they immediately went and retrieved it and shipped it back to me with everything still present (including a large sum of cash). Thankful for their honesty and communication!

Great time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. The beach was just a short walk from the condo. Unfortunately the elevator was out our entire stay and it was the only one on that end of the building so we had to take the stairs a lot. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The pool was also very clean. One thing we wish it had was an extra lock that our child couldnt reach. We will stay here again

Absolute Perfection on the Beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our stay here was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable—it instantly felt like a home away from home.You cannot beat the location. The beach access was so convenient, making it effortless to walk down to the sand and enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. To top it all off, the staff went above and beyond to make our trip special. Every interaction we had was wonderful; they were genuinely helpful, responsive, and incredibly friendly.We had a fantastic vacation and are already looking forward to booking our next stay here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free beach getaway!

Last week of summer getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our condo was great, the view of the Gulf was amazing! Was disappointed that the elevator closest to our condo was out of order, and had been for a while, an owner said it would be December at the earliest for repairs. The hot tub was also out of service. So, a little inconvenient, but overall our stay was awesome! Our beach service attendant, Chandler, was the best...
