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.

Tropical Isle 203. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $83 ... $218 per night. 1 bedrooms. 5 Max Occupancy.
Perfect location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
First time staying at this condo and it’s a great option. Location is what we really appreciated and the reason for renting it along with the price, 2 min walk to the beach. The property was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had the main things. Two things that we did not like - there was some musty smell in the kitchen when you first get in from outside, but not in the bedroom. The other thing was that the AC unit was very noisy and loud both in the bedroom and in the kitchen. You can’t really hear the TV when AC is blowing. Overall we had a great time because it was so close to the beach where we spent most of the day.

FL stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Overall place was great, had unit for two weeks. Things I'd like changed/updated - THAT couch has got to go!! Rolling bar cart would be great for food prep area (very little counter area) Floor lamp would be nice addition. Where I live at night it is DARK so pole light in parking lot shining thru blinds was bothersome so bought black sheet to cover window so maybe some kind of shade that could be drawn. Shower could use LOT more pressure. Things I like - SO CLOSE TO BEACH!! Murphy bed was comfortable and by having it really opened up floor space. Well within walking distance to some great places to eat. Had an issue with heat first night so management sent space heaters right away. Other guests were friendly. Unit is on ground floor and beach side so really quiet at night. All in all a great place to spend time out of wintery Illinois. I'll be back!

Tropical Isle 108. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $102 ... $205 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.
Great condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We enjoyed the location and condo in general. I would recommend to a friend or come back and stay again. We noticed a little noise from the upstairs condo while we were in the living room, but no noise while we were in the bedroom. The bathroom sink was slow to drain, I hope someone fixes it before the next customers stay. Overall, a very nice place, clean and mostly quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The beach access was right across the street. The kitchen is fully furnished with new non-stick pots and pans and anything else you may need.

Island Princess 408. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $115 ... $529 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
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.

Feb 2023 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Location was great. Easy access to 2nd floor unit. Covered parking was a bonus. Three bedrooms/baths was a great. We had a few minor issues upon arrival but were handled right away. Plenty of restaurants and stores in the area. February is an iffy month for weather. Rather cool and foggy. Disappointed the pool wasn't open due to balcony repairs. With the weather being cool and the pool being closed it didn't give us much lounging outside time. Beach was gorgeous though and sand was white and soft. It was a relaxing vacation and an 8 hour drive was very, very doable.

407 island princess ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Condo was great! Sugar Sands staff did a awesome job. The construction was a headache but we were warned before our trip and given the option to get a refund. A discounted rate instead would have been nice. Would have been nice to have a larger property sign. It can be difficult to see at night where the drive was located

Beautiful condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Condo was gorgeous! Extremely clean, comfortable beds and couches, breathtaking views, well equipped kitchen, balcony had plenty of seating, covered parking, and rental included two beach chairs and umbrella service daily. We loved our time at the condo and hope to book again!
Coffee pot was not working correctly and I called maintenance. A brand new coffee maker showed up the next morning! That was truly exceptional service! Thank y’all!
Only issue was master shower was not draining well. Left a note for maintenance.
Truly a beautiful beautiful spot and loved the 7th floor! Spent countless hours sitting on the balcony listening to and watching the ocean! On Wednesday night fireworks are let off on the pier- enjoyed watching them from the balcony!
Had two dinners at local restaurant The Shack, delicious!

GREAT Property ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great Property and would go back, UNLESS, the HOA continues to refuse to fix their elevators. I have been there two times in three months and having to wait because several of the elevators do not work is ridiculous.
