Gulf Dunes 204. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $145 ... $695 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!

Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $145 ... $696 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.

Wonderful Experience! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The property, while older, was well maintained and we were impressed by how clean the grounds were kept during our entire stay. We also loved the idea of the "Beach Toy Library" they had in the garage area! Wish we had that when our kids were young! Our unit was in pretty good shape with a few exceptions. The flooring in the master needs to be replaced-carpet is not beach friendly. We did not go barefoot in the bedroom because the carpet felt and looked dirty. The pillows could be replaced as well but the bed was comfortable and the bedroom itself was dark and quiet so we slept well. The ac and water pressure were great! The furniture throughout the unit was comfortable and in good shape.
While we didn't cook much, the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. The toaster does need to be replaced as the middle heating element was missing so the bread only toasted on one side at a time and you had to hold the lever down the whole time to get it to work at all.
The view was great, the location was great, the chair service was great, and we were pleasantly shocked at how quiet the unit was. We could hear noise from the pool area during the afternoons/evenings when we were in the living area but never past 10 pm.
Overall, I would definitely recommend the property and was very impressed with the Sugar Sands Vacation Rental team. We contacted them with minor questions and their service was impeccable!

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $87 ... $205 per night. 1 bedrooms. 5 Max Occupancy.
Great vacation spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Up on first entering the condo we noticed it was very clean. We enjoyed every minute! Perfect for a relaxing vacation. If you needed something quick like ice or a Coke it was a very short walk to the convenience store next door. In the condo is a small closet equipped with boogie boards, and sand toys if you forgot those items. The rental comes with 2 chairs and an umbrella from about 8am until about 6 pm (that was so helpful, less to tote to the beach). Walking to the beach was easy even with a cooler, bag, and a child (just across the parking lot). My grandson enjoyed the pool. If you’re looking for tourists adventures Destin is a short drive away, and the stay comes with a complimentary ticket to many events. We did a dolphin tour and it saved us the price of an adult ticket. My only suggestion is bring extra blankets for lounging. After a long day at the beach and a shower we wanted to cuddle up in a soft blanket. Last but definitely not least, Beverly was amazing! Very helpful with anything you need. We had a great stay!!

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.

Vacation 2023 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We loved it here. Our first time in Florida ! It had great view and a homie feel to the place. Only thing I hated that they was no dead bolt lock on the upper main door and my toddler could easily escape by pulling in the handle because it happened once and we had to make up a way for her to not let her self out the main door. Other than that we loved it and the area. Great location!

Fort Walton ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Room was perfect for me, my husband, and our baby! It was probably the cleanest condo I have ever stayed in which is a huge deal especially having a crawling 8 month old. The only thing is there’s no oven, but that meant I didn’t have to cook so it was honestly a win.
Cassidy Y. 07/27/2023
Island Princess 408. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $115 ... $529 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
100% would stay here again ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
I decided to do a last-minute beach trip, the VRBO pickings were slim so I was so surprised when I arrived at such a clean, well-maintained condo front and center on the gulf. The property is in a great location quiet- less crowds on the beach but right around the corner from 98 and everything you could want to do. The unit is very well maintained with plenty of kitchen tools if you want to cook, the furniture is comfortable in good condition, the layout would work great for a small family and there are lots of games/puzzles for family time off the sand. When I arrived I noticed that the living room ceiling was a little discolored and needed to be painted but the rest of the place was immaculate so I gave it 5 stars for cleanliness. For a last-minute booking this was one of the top 5 condos I have rented in the pan-handle and I have been coming down here for 20+ years.

Very Comfortable Place To Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Overall very comfortable and spacious for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 kids). There were some issues with the King Bed, the box springs kept sliding off the frame.

Great Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Just as described, great location, great value. Management checked in with us the day prior to make sure we had all of the information and that questions were answered. The complex was clean, and orderly as was the unit. The work-out room was lacking. We used this as a location to catch our breaths and to grieve/process after my mom passed away. It was a wonderful location and met our needs (family of 6) perfectly. The beach is clean and peaceful. The pool and hot tubs were clean and temps good. Need to replace the ironing board, batteries for remote controls (not that we watched much tv) and get a better locks for the bedroom and bathrooms (one wiggle and they open). Otherwise, really good experience. We will be back if time permits. Thank you

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.

Nothing short of exceptional. This was our family's nineth time on Okaloosa Island and we've never had a better experience. Our room was the ultimate in many respects. Whether on the deck or in any of the bedrooms or bathrooms, everything was perfect.

I enjoyed working with sugar sands. They were very accommodating. They checked in with us several times to make sure our vacation was going good and I appreciated that.

Gulf Side ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The condo was amazing! Beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything you may need. My kids loved the bunk room complete with their own bathroom & tv. Pool & gulf view from balcony. Very clean! The only suggestion I have is adding some blackout curtains in the master bedroom. Once the sun comes up, it lights up the entire room. We would go back again!
