Sisters Getaway Spectacular! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This condo was perfect for our Sisters Getaway! Very beautiful and the view from the balcony was gorgeous.
The colors in the condo have beach vibe all over it and it looked just like it appears in the phots. It was very spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you’d need to cook.They not only had a drip coffee machine but a Keurig as well. I thought the toaster wasn’t working right and Maintenance showed up with a new toaster. (Turns out it wasn’t really broken, but operator error, me. Was I embarrassed)
One little touch I’ve not seen in other places is the way they present the towels in the bathroom. So pretty and made us feel welcomed and like we were at a 5 star hotel. I would definitely come back here!
I gave 4 stars for general condition as the couch and the area rug could use an update. They were clean but there are some stains on both which definitely do not go with the beauty of this condo!

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $95 ... $280 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!!

Quick get away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary stay. The room was small, but perfect for our needs. We could not figure out the drying function on the combo washer/dryer and the toilet seemed to run constantly. I enjoyed the chairs + umbrella daily!!

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!

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!

Gorgeous View ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Loved my experience and the view was spectacular. The condo was spotless, and the location was great! My only complaint would be that the unit needed furniture updating of Livingroom and dining tables and painting or revamping of the wood on bottom of sink and counter.

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!

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

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!
