Gulf Dunes 407. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $121 ... $545 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Small but nice ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The most important feature for an enjoyable stay is cleanliness and this unit was immaculate! The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and nice appliances. The unit is small but the amount of storage was more than adequate. Thought we had an issue with a TV and the ice maker, got immediate help from mgmt. Turned out to be user error. Decor is a bit dated for our taste & popcorn ceiling needs to go. Enjoyed out visit overall.

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 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.

Family Friendly Vacation Spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our family of 4 comfortably enjoyed our stay late June 2022. Condo was clean, well maintained, and as advertised. The outdoor patio was a little cramped for our family and only provided seating for two. There were two additional small chairs that need to be replaced. One was so rusted it broke during our stay. The other we never sat in because of its condition. Owner said they would be replacing them so that should be addressed already. The beach service was nice but front row is reserved for owners so having small children and sitting 20 yards from the water doesn’t work well. Overall we had a great time and the location was a nice change from the heavily congested Destin area but close enough to get into Destin a couple of times.
