Emerald Coast Favorite ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Island Princess #305 is an exceptional condo to stay in on Okaloosa Island. The photos depict how pleasant it is and we loved having it for the week. All the furniture is quality and very comfortable. The beach service was excellent, which we thoroughly enjoyed due to great weather. The water was spectacular. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals is very responsive and helpful. The staff went above and beyond to offer assistance if needed. We should be so fortunate to be able to return to Island Princess #305. A special thank you to the owner for sharing this beautiful retreat!

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. :)

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.

Excellent Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our stay at Tropical Isle was excellent! Beach access was within steps of our condo, maybe 50 feet total. Beach chairs and Umbrella was set up daily for us. Our condo was very clean. We plan on visiting again!

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.

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!

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!

Tropical Isle Unit 210. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $95 ... $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!

Great trip! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This property was just as described- very clean and in a great location! The beds were comfy, and the chair service on the beach was fantastic. Communication with management and check-in/out instructions were very clear. The ease of having a keycode so we didn't have to worry about a key or keycard was great! We would definitely consider staying again if we return to the area!

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!!!

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.

Perfect getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was amazing. I absolutely loved the experience and accommodations. The location is perfect, everything was within minutes and I didn't have to leave the room. The pool is right outside the door, the house was very clean, the beach is one minute walk. The only thing I could have wanted was curtains in the double bed bedroom. The room is off of the parking lot and the light was bright. Nothing to much. Amazing place and experience.

Amazing Views ~ Clean Accommodations! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
You can't find a better view than what this condo offers! My family of 5 spent a week admiring the views from this beautiful, spacious condo. We saw dolphins, pelicans, seagulls (of course). We enjoyed the beach with our two free beach chairs and the pool and hot tub each day. Plenty to do in Ft. Walton Beach or Destin just a few minutes away without the crowds.
Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Island Princess 115. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $149 ... $703 per night. 3 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.
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.
