  2. Gulf Dunes 204. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $145 ... $764 per night. 3 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.

    Clean, oceanfront unit! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    This unit was perfect for our family and was very clean. We loved the space, the view, and our whole trip.
    My only recommendation is that some additional items be added to the kitchen (more coffee mugs, ice cream scoop, SPATULAS, mixing bowls, and more than 2 pillows for the king sized bed in the master).
    Thank you!! We will return!

    Wonderful time on the beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    The property description was very accurate explaining that construction was nearing completion. The unit was very clean and stocked very well. The ice maker wasn't working but the management informed us of that prior to our arrival and offered to have bagged ice there for us. We would most definitely recommend this unit. It is so close to the beach and a short drive to so many of the restaurants that we enjoy eating at.

  5. Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $164 ... $764 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. :)

  9. Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $95 ... $280 per night. 1 bedrooms. 5 Max Occupancy.

    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.

  14. Destin West Villa 507. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $106 ... $490 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.

    Good time at the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We had a really good time at this location. The property was clean and comfortable. It could use some updating. The condo is very convenient to the parking garage. The balcony is very noisy from the traffic so we did not spend much time outside, which is too bad. We had a problem with the balcony door not closing, so I called the manager and they sent someone to fix it right away. The included beach chairs and umbrella was very nice. The beach was beautiful. We saw a lot of dolphins. The food at Ricks on the Island was very good. Also Anglers at the end of the pier was very good. Destin is a short drive away, and was fun to walk the boardwalk.

  15. Pelican Isle 404. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $133 ... $517 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    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 view and location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Great property if you only have 2-3 people. Don’t go with a baby-we had to be creative in setting up our pack n play. Great location to parking and getting to the beach. Perfect for 2-3 adults and 1/2 kids. Covered parking spot was a plus as well as two beach chairs/umbrella service.

    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.

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...
