Gulf Dunes 204. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $144 ... $528 per night. 3 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.
Great condo for a family vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The condo is very spacious, there was plenty of room for our family of four. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. The best part was the view of the beach from the balcony. It is amazing. We saw dolphins from the balcony. This is a great condo. We will be staying again for sure.

Perfect Getaway! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great condo right on the beach. Easy access to beach, pool, parking, restaurants. The balcony faced the ocean. I would recommend this condo without hesitation.

Pleasant location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great location and accommodations.

Elevator was dirty and smelly.

Condo suggestion - a shark vac would be helpful to keep sand cleaned up and a mat inside the door entry would be very helpful.

Pelican Isle 312. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $96 ... $314 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Wonderful rental! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Pelican Isle #312 was a wonderful get-away.The property description was accurate and everything was functional. The view was amazing and the porch furniture was comfortable too. The master bed was really comfy and we slept well. My husband appreciated that the unit had a full size recliner and we LOVED that the unit included an umbrella and two chairs. Lastly, we took advantage of the XPlorie complimentary daily activity. That was a nice perk!

2025 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We really enjoyed our two month stay in Florida. Beautiful weather, beautiful beaches and a very relaxing stay. Our accommodations were very clean and well maintained. Although we weren’t able to have the original unit that we rented, the substitute was very nice. We would definitely recommend Sugar Sands.

El Matador 468. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $114 ... $469 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Yearly girls trip ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Nice condo and great location! Rental as just as advertised. My only suggestion would be for there to have been additional dish towels as there was only 1...we had to purchase extra for use along with a hand held can opener as the ones there would not open our cans.

Destin West Gulfside 503. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $110 ... $482 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Dated but acceptable. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This unit is a little dated and was short on some common items such as a broom and dustpan, an iron, dryer needs to be serviced as the lint trap was so full we had to vacuum it out just to get the lint trap filter to fit in. Suggest brining stuff from home when you can as the beach stores are slightly pricey and you only get a limited amount of stuff witht he rental.

Destin West Villa Gulfside V504. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $121 ... $259 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.
Perfect for two ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We love Destin West and have stayed on the property before. The property is beautiful. This unit specifically was nice but in my opinion it is the perfect size for 2 people. I would not recommend if you are bringing your child unless they are still little..

This condo was perfect for our Ladies Beach Trip. The view from the balcony is spectacular, and the bonus views from the kitchen and living room windows are a bonus! Although the carpets and cabinet bottoms need updating, the place was very clean and the beds were comfy.

Sister in Laws First Time to the Gulf ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The wife's sister and niece visited us in Temple, Ga., from Vancouver B.C. They had never been to the Gulf so we brought them down for a couple of days. The condo was very clean and convenient to the beach. The niece was excited about the bunk bed!! LOL. Be aware: we usually prefer a ground floor stay, but at this location, there is no Gulf view from the ground floor. We were on level two and had a great view.

Great First Floor Condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We were looking for a ground floor condo because we have toddlers and wanted to be able to conveniently go back and forth between the beach and the condo. This place was perfect for that!

Perfect spot! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This condo was great! Super clean (my husband is a clean freak)! I loved the double balconies. We love Okaloosa Island because it’s not super crowded. We had the best week.

Good location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unit was small but this was what we wanted to a quilt weekend. Decorated very nice. Nice sized bathroom with separate shower and tub. Loved the lazy river on bayside. It was too cold for the beach.

Some coffee cups have gone missing, we only had 1. I would stay here again.

Baseball Tournament Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Everything was great. Unit had everything we needed. Unit was clean when we arrived. All codes provided worked as they should. My only complaint would be the televisions. It would be fantastic if the televisions had a function to easily cast from our phones to the tv. If there was a way, we could not figure it out, pretty frustrating.

Great Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great Location. Condo has been well taken care of, also it was very clean. We booked the first floor but was hesitant but it was great. Short walk to the beach and pool and you could still hear the waves of the ocean. Jessie from Sugar Sands was very helpful and friendly before and during our stay. We would definitely stay there again.

Island Princess 318 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
I love Ft Walton and I love Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals. The condo unit is due for some love, BUT it was clean, on the beach, Beverly was most attentive to our needs. I always recommend Sugar Sands and will continue to use them for my trips to Ft Walton. They are local and personable and take care of your needs.

Island Princess 708. FORT WALTON BEACH, Florida. $125 ... $599 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
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.

Quick family getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We enjoyed our stay! The condo was very cute, well decorated. Good size for us, we have two young children who slept in bunks. Location of condo is right above pool - convenient for running up to grab things or peaking down at kids in pool, but it was pretty noisy most all day until 10 or so at night. Condo really had everything we needed, listing was accurate. Felt clean & comfortable.

Beach getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
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. Very clean and updated, had everything we needed for a family of four with young kids. The view was amazing, watched dolphins from the balcony every day. Can’t wait to go back.

Waterscape fun ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Location was great, unit was very clean, overall a great experience. Issue with door code was remedied very quickly. Only suggestion would be more baking sheets in kitchen would be helpful. Other than that the unit is fantastic. Highly recommend.
Sarah P. 06/15/2025
Azure 403. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $186 ... $456 per night. 3 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.
Great Location, Roomy Condo on the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had a great stay with Sugar Sands at Azure 403. The property was spacious, king beds in all 3 rooms, and a private bath for each. The unit is clean, modern, and very nice! The balcony overlooks the pool and beach and provides a perfect spot to relax. If I have to find a negative, my only thing would be mattress firmness. If you like plush or soft mattresses, these are not it. I would still highly recommend Sugar Sands and this unit.
