    Peaceful ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    I had the best service beforehand just getting the rental booked. The place was beautiful and accommodated our family well.

  2. Gulf Dunes 407. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $121 ... $543 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    Great Dolphin Views on the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Great view and location. Easy access and all things we needed were right there. Loved the free beach service!! The condo was very clean but a bit outdated. A few times when we’d touch a random knob or twist the shower knob it would fall off. The foot of the bed sticks out so far that my husband and I ended up bruised from banging our legs when walking by. These are things that are easy to fix and not a deal breaker.

    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. :)

    FL Beach Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

  8. Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $87 ... $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.

    Walking distance to the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    What I liked best is going to the beach. My son and grandson could go fishing and I could walk the beach and seat under the umbrella and read a book. The condo was nice and clean. Kitchen was great to be able to cook if we wanted to.

    Tropical isle 203 June 25 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Clean simple condo, just like the pics. Not right on the beach, two minute walk and do not have to cross any big roads. Easy parking, nice pool.

    Pleasure to work with Sugar Sands rentals ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We have booked with Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals many times over the years. Always a pleasure to work with. We were approved for an early check in time. Not sure if a party checked out on the day we checked in but a big thank you to house keeping for having the condo ready for our stay.

    Great Place! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We loved our stay here! Everything was VERY clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Directions to get in and about the home were well communicated and clear. View was spectacular. It is a quiet building, and the beach service was great! A cleaning spray or wipe would have been appreciated, but honestly that is the ONLY thing I would have different about this amazing place. Do not hesitate to vacation here!

    Much needed Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We love Tropical Isle, it’s always very clean and the staff is always very friendly. Which is one of the reasons we keep coming back.

  19. Tropical Isle Unit 210. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $87 ... $280 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.

    Great place to stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We enjoyed our stay at the tropical isle immensely! The furniture seemed a little dated, but the place was clean. We were close to the water and the pool was pretty empty when we wanted to hang out, which we loved. There is also a convenient store right next door and an aldis like five minutes away, which came in handy! The only problem we had was the pullout couch was broken, springs couldn’t attach to the frame due to tears. I let the property manager know and they were quick to apologize for the inconvenience and brought up an air mattress. It was a little big, blocking the walkway from living room to kitchen and getting from the door to the living room, but we spent most of our time outside, so it wasn’t too bad, until we were in for the night. It slept much better than the pullout couch, though! ��
    It was a great place at a great price and the property manager, Jesse, was very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family, and we have already!

    ⭐⭐⭐PERFECT VACATION ⭐⭐⭐ ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    This condo was perfect for us! The loft upstairs was ideal for our two college girls. The view of the ocean from the master bedroom balcony was amazing! I even enjoyed dinner out there two evenings because it was so relaxing! ��

    Summer 2022 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We had the best time! This is a hidden gem! We loved the location and check in was a breeze. The condo is not crowded. We never searched for a parking spot or a place to sit on the beach or pool - like many high-rise condos. My only suggestion- the patio furniture is ready to be replaced. We like to eat dinner outside, and the chairs are coming apart. We spent our last night looking at future dates! We can’t wait to come back!!!

    Beach Rewind ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Our unit 408 was extremely nice. Loved everything about it. Spent lots of time on the beach and balcony relaxing. The umbrella and two chairs are a must for us when choosing a condo. Also gulf front is another requirement. 408 met all of our expectations. Was so appreciative of the multiport charging station and the closet cabinet in the living room. Sugar Sands is so easy to work with and kept us informed at every step. Thank you.

    Fun vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We had a wonderful time. The condo is in a great location on the beach. The staff at Sugar Sands are very nice and efficient. The Aqua Villa equipment on site needs to be updated. The coin laundry machines are terrible, only half of them work. The washers will start a load, but not finish. We lost money on them. We would stay again, but the equipment needs updated, since not able to do laundry in a lot of units.

    Beach getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    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.

    Location was great, unit was very clean, overall a great experience. Issue with door code was remedied very quickly. Only suggestion would be more baking sheets in kitchen would be helpful. Other than that the unit is fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Destin west condo #304. Very nice and clean . Great place. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Love the location of this condo. Our 10 yr old granddaughter was with us she loved the lazy river and the pools. Just a nice walk on the beach to the restaurants and shops . Eat inside or out by the beach. So much fun.
    The owners to all were so nice and friendly . I did not want to leave!!

    IP 115 is a great unit. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    IP 115 is a great unit. The three full bedrooms/baths worked out well for our group and we prefer the 1st floor for several reasons. However, just note that you do not get a view of the ocean. We spend a lot of time at the ocean so that did not matter to us. The ice maker in the kitchen did not work but everything else seemed to be in good working condition. Unit was very clean. We would use this unit again. The condo complex did a great job of cleaning up the pool and general areas every day. Rental chairs being included was great also, however, you have to pay to reserve the front row so be prepared to sit in the back row even during slow season. A lot of the front chairs were empty most days even though they were reserved.
