Heaven Away From Homewse ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
My family and I had a wonderful stay. Waking up to-the sounds of the beach—I’d move there if I could. The condo was beautiful and was perfect for the four of us. I highly recommend this slice of heaven! Thank you

Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $175 ... $699 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.

Thanksgiving Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Nice, relaxing visit to Fort Walton Beach/Destin. Wonderful unit, clean, nicely appointed, excellent location, ample parking. Cool weather so we didn’t get to enjoy the resort’s pools or lazy river. Would gladly stay here again.

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $102 ... $205 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.

Beach Time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was a great week of beautiful weather to sit on the beach all day and dine on fresh sea food at the local restaurants in the evening. It was the perfect vacation for us.

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!

Really enjoy our stay. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Everything was great the only issue is that there were no curtains so it was very bright in the morning making us wake up earlier than it was planned. Also our upstairs neighbor woke us up very early, becauae we could hear every footsteps taken. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

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!

Island Princess 408. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $115 ... $531 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Island Princess ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was a very nice unit. It was clean and had everything we needed. It was so nice to have a full sized washer, dryer, and refrigerator. The living room furniture was comfortable, unlike many of the condos we have stayed in. This unit is directly over the pool, which was very crowded and noisy most of the time. It would be great if you had older kids who could go to the pool alone and you wanted to watch them from the balcony. The balcony on this unit is large and has comfortable chairs but it sticks out from the other balconies and is very visible from the pool and the balconies on each side, which leaves you very exposed while sitting outside on the balcony. The pool area was nice and clean but the pool was really not big enough for a property this size. Overall, we had a great time and were very comfortable in this condo.

Island Princess 217. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $175 ... $459 per night. 3 bedrooms. 7 Max Occupancy.
Condo with Beach view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Condos located on beach, 217 has beach view but not directly as it is located on side and not beachfront. Condo clean, well maintained, perfect for what we needed. Customer service top notch, will definitely book with them again.

Family of 4 getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great location! I was so disappointed to find that none of the 3 TVs were smart TVs so we weren’t able to stream and movies, I know to some that isn’t a big deal but to us it was bc we usually do family movies at nite. There is a full length mirror in master bedroom which is a huge plus to me and my teenage daughter! This was our first time on a bottom floor, it was definitely easier access to everything but we missed the balcony views and everyone who walked by could see directly in the condo. Overall wasn’t bad I just wish I would of known about the TVs.

My family had a positive vacation rental experience. The property description was accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. The proximity to the Gulf was amazing.

Highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The view from our room was perfect, beach and pools. It was a very nice unit. The whole experience was easy and great. Customer service was excellent. Also I’d recommend visiting McGuires for at least one dinner. It’s only a few miles from resort and worth every penny! The tiki hut at resort was great as well.
