My family and I had a wonderful stay. Waking up to-the sounds of the beach—I’d move there if I could. The condo was beautiful and was perfect for the four of us. I highly recommend this slice of heaven! Thank you

Island princess 305 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unfortunately it was under renovation while we were there. It think it would be a great place if there wasn’t construction occuring while we were there. The condo was beautiful. Amazing views and great location.

Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $175 ... $699 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.

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 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $105 ... $205 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.

Tropical Paradise ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We loved our stay. Just a few steps to the beach. We loved the outside shower at the pool. It was so nice to rinse off and not track sand into our unit. Unit was neat and clean. Furniture was a little worn but overall a great location and we will come again.

Destin West - VILLA GULF SIDE - V507. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $100 ... $344 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.
Relaxing Beach Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Everything was accessible, staff was helpful, location was within walking distance to numerous activities & restaurants. It might be helpful to tell future guests what type of laundry detergent to bring; also, we didn't know until our last night that the latch on the door handle of the washer/dryer was cracked & the unit never went into its dry cycle (we had to bring a sack of wet laundry home). Besides that, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!

Beach Time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was a great week of beautiful weather to sit on the beach all day and dine on fresh sea food at the local restaurants in the evening. It was the perfect vacation for us. The condo was very comfortable and the view of the beach and the gulf from the balcony was perfect! Thanks for another great stay at this rental!

Island Princess 211. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $173 ... $648 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.
