    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

    Unbelievable Views ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Beautiful condo with wonderful views. The condo was clean and cozy. It did need a few renovations with peeling paint on the kitchen cabinets.Also the toaster needed to be replaced;it only toasted on one side!
    The bed was comfortable. It was wonderful having 2 bathrooms. Grab bars are needed in bath and shower, and would be a great asset.overall, the condo was very comfortable!

  5. 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.

    Great family beach stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Comfortable condo for our family or 4 for a weeklong trip. Complimentary beach chair service was great. Having two bathrooms was nice and the kids loved the bunkbeds instead of having to share. Unfortunately, some basics are not provided like laundry detergent, beach towels, shampoo & conditioner, only 3 dishwasher packets, etc., so we had to buy a lot of items that we left behind since we flew in from Colorado.

    Fall Break 2021 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We always enjoy our stays at Tropical Isle. Small and quaint yet has everything that you need. No fighting over pool chairs, no large crowds, etc. We have always felt safe while staying at Tropical Isle. The Tom Thumb store right next door is a wonderful addition. We have been coming/going to Tropical Isle for SEVERAL years and sometimes twice a year, and we cannot wait to get back there. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals are super nice to work with and will make your stay as enjoyable as they possibly can.

    Great location and amenities! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Location is perfect since you’re on the beach. Very nice size pool and the lazy River was a definite hit. The room wasn’t nothing fancy, but it served its purpose. I’ll be coming back again next summer.

  28. Island Princess 105. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $132 ... $594 per night. 2 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.

    Fantastic Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    This condo could not have been located better. The back door led you right to the pool, but not directly on top of the pool where you can hear everyone in it either. It’s a literal 5 minutes from all of the best eating places, and the beach access is connected to the pool. Fantastic place and location.

    Very nice and enjoyable!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We highly recommend staying at Aqua villa. From the short walk to the beach to the well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the chairs provided as well. Our family of 4 will definitely be staying here again. The bunk beds were a hit for our two littles. Very spacious and clean with nice appliances. We are already planning our next trip here soon!

    Excellent Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Thank you so much for helping us have a perfect place to stay for our family vacation! The condo is very clean and has everything you need for a relaxing week! We had a small issue with our toilet but the rental company was on the issue and even provided tickets to a local attraction to make it right! We will definitely book with Sugar Sands in the future!

  34. Island Princess 104. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $154 ... $414 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    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.

  39. Island Princess 708. FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida. $150 ... $531 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    Telaxing Weekend ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Very nice unit. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed linger. Nicely furnished and very clean.
    Only complaint I have is there is no place to put your groceries except on top of the kitchen counter. The pantry is locked and I assume only for the owners. Since we were only there for 3 nights, not a big problem, but would be awkward for a week.
