  5. Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $164 ... $764 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.

  9. 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.

    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!

  22. Island Princess 211. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $146 ... $720 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    Nice, relaxing stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    This was an amazing condo with great beach views! It was clean upon arrival and was decorated very beautifully with comfortable furniture. We had all that we needed for a relaxing stay of enjoying the pool and beach. The pool was heated to perfection and the hot tub was nice, altho it was small and always busy! The beach is beautiful and the chair service was nice on the beach. The only downside to this condo is the fact they didn’t provide pool/beach towels. I’m sure it’s not a problem for many who drive to this destination, but it is when flying since luggage space is at a premium! I would definitely stay in this unit again.

    Iowa Nice on the Beach!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    The location of this condo is truly perfect. The pictures are a true representation of the condo itself with views from every angle. We loved the location and the friendliness from everyone we met. The pool was larger then expected and had a large amount of toys that people shared throughout the week. We would love to go back.

    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!

  31. Island Princess 318. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $123 ... $602 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    Great time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    We had a wonderful time staying at this condo. The beach was just a short walk from the condo. Unfortunately the elevator was out our entire stay and it was the only one on that end of the building so we had to take the stairs a lot. The room was very clean and the beds comfortable. The pool was also very clean. One thing we wish it had was an extra lock that our child couldnt reach. We will stay here again

  32. Island Princess 712. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $142 ... $706 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.

    Perfect rental ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Condo was Excellent. Very clean and updated and pictures on site need to be updated because the furniture and contents was beautiful. I would suggest a regular coffee pot instead of having to use pods. Customer service was outstanding. We definitely will use them for rentals in the future. We will not be staying at the Island Princess in the future due to everytime we stay here something on the property is broke. Elevator out until Feb. Hot tub was down 3 days. Grills don’t work

  33. Aqua Villa 102. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $124 ... $492 per night. 2 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.

    Absolute Perfection on the Beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Our stay here was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable—it instantly felt like a home away from home.You cannot beat the location. The beach access was so convenient, making it effortless to walk down to the sand and enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. To top it all off, the staff went above and beyond to make our trip special. Every interaction we had was wonderful; they were genuinely helpful, responsive, and incredibly friendly.We had a fantastic vacation and are already looking forward to booking our next stay here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free beach getaway!

    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.

    Last week of summer getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

    Our condo was great, the view of the Gulf was amazing! Was disappointed that the elevator closest to our condo was out of order, and had been for a while, an owner said it would be December at the earliest for repairs. The hot tub was also out of service. So, a little inconvenient, but overall our stay was awesome! Our beach service attendant, Chandler, was the best...
