Great Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The location is great. The condo was clean and had plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. You can see the pier, pool and fireworks from the balcony. Stewby’s seafood is right across the street. Bring your own dish soap, sponge, cleaning spray and laundry detergent.

Perfect Getaway weekend ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was a perfect last minute get away weekend!. The hosts were so helpful and everything was so clean. The place I stayed in was quiet and the bed was super comfortable. And it is close to the beach and has beautiful pools. I will be back!

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $105 ... $205 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!!

Tropical Isle 105. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $98 ... $205 per night. 1 bedrooms. 4 Max Occupancy.
Good location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unit as described-very small and very basic but also very clean and nice location. Being a bottom unit you do get noise from the upstairs occupants. It is a very busy building with a lot of people coming in and out. Beach access makes it worth it all as the section of the beach is clean and not terribly busy. AC works very well. Decor is simple but comfortable. Pool area is clean and well kept too.

Tropical Isle 202. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $77 ... $192 per night. 0 bedrooms. 3 Max Occupancy.
Ignore other reviews ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
People are to **** picky. For the price, you couldnt beat it. Away from all the traffic, easy to get to, quiet and cozy, bed was comfy and had 4 pillows, no cigarette can outside the door, nothing was clogged, the mirror is an average height, the shower had enough room for 2, and no odd smells. Yes, there was traces of sand on the floor - its the beach, not your grandmas basement. Everything was right there and the ocean was a few steps away. Everything worked, had zero issues! Id recommend this place and would stay again.

Great Location for a Mother-Daughter Trip ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was a perfect space for my daughter and I to spend the week at the beach!
The space was clean and comfortable.
Check in/out was easy. Having an umbrella and chairs each day was the best perk! We will definitely be back!

Relaxing vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This condo was great! Super clean and great location. Since there are few era units, there were a couple of days where we basically had the beach to ourselves! Having the beach chair service was wonderful. The condo had plenty of space and the corner balcony was so nice. Highly recommend this condo. We will definitely book again.

Fall Break 2021 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We always enjoy our stays at Tropical Isle. Small and quaint yet has everything that you need. No fighting over pool chairs, no large crowds, etc. We have always felt safe while staying at Tropical Isle. The Tom Thumb store right next door is a wonderful addition. We have been coming/going to Tropical Isle for SEVERAL years and sometimes twice a year, and we cannot wait to get back there. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals are super nice to work with and will make your stay as enjoyable as they possibly can.

Beautiful waters and beaches ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our getaway to Okaloosa Island and the Island Princess #211 was wonderful. Would definitely stay in this until again. Only hesitation was the lack of reliable wifi. Unfortunately I had to do some work while on vacay and the poor wogie quality made it a challenge. Other than that, we highly recommend this place!

Great location and amenities! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Location is perfect since you’re on the beach. Very nice size pool and the lazy River was a definite hit. The room wasn’t nothing fancy, but it served its purpose. I’ll be coming back again next summer.

Perfect Location & Amenities ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This was the perfect room on ground floor walking out to a patio where no one else hung out really, then around the corner is the swimming pool & jacuzzi and out the gate to the beach. THis location was perfect for my neices and their toddlers! The place was clean, had extra cots and a pull our couch in addition to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Everything was stocked and worked great, it was clean and just the perfect place to maximize beach time! Location was close to everything you would ever want to do and half hour from the airport. Absolutely will be back and choose this location!

Very nice and enjoyable!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We highly recommend staying at Aqua villa. From the short walk to the beach to the well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the chairs provided as well. Our family of 4 will definitely be staying here again. The bunk beds were a hit for our two littles. Very spacious and clean with nice appliances. We are already planning our next trip here soon!

Tropical Isle 108. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $105 ... $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.

Excellent Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Thank you so much for helping us have a perfect place to stay for our family vacation! The condo is very clean and has everything you need for a relaxing week! We had a small issue with our toilet but the rental company was on the issue and even provided tickets to a local attraction to make it right! We will definitely book with Sugar Sands in the future!

Pelican Isle 217. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $137 ... $316 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
217 Pelican Isle ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Unit was very clean and well kept. We had everything we needed. Saw earlier complaints about the bed in this unit prior to reserving, but we had no issues with it. Slept fine. View is beautiful. This unit did not come with complimentary beach service set up, but the owners did provide chairs and an umbrella. Probably more comfortable than the chairs offered by the beach service, honestly. I do wish additional shower/ sand rinse areas coming from the beach were located near the boardwalks as you travel to and from the beach. The one area they have for that is near the center of the complex and the pool area, which is understandable. I’d still stay there again without hesitation.

Quick getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great location condo was very clean and neat. Kitchen had everything needed plus a pantry to store groceries. My only recommendation is that they get a new mattress for the master bed.

Wonderful Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The vacation unit was very nice and in a great location. Literally steps from the beach. The included beach chasers with umbrellas were a great extra! First stay on Okaloosa Island and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this unit for small to medium families.

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.

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

Perfect Birthday Getaway! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We absolutely loved this condo! It's right around the corner from the elevator which was so convenient. The inside is beautifully painted and decorated all throughout. We loved the idea of bunks built in the hallway wall and would be perfect for children. The bathroom(s) were like a reverse Jack-n-Jill bathroom and very adequate. The king size bed was super comfy and the fan/lights combo was really nice. The kitchen is modern and bright and looks out to the beach while you're standing at the sink. There were plenty of dishes, utensils, glasses, etc and the colorful children's sets were so cute. Loved the "coffee" coffee cups too! The living/dining room was very comfortable as well and also look out at the beach. The balcony was perfect to see everything on the beach in both directions as well as the pool directly below.

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!

Nice condo with easy access to the pool, beach, and attractions ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
It was very easy to locate the property, access the unit, and all of the listed amenities. The property is also super close to all of the activities we had booked like the Gulfarium and boat cruises from the HarborWalk village. This was a huge plus with two small children to quickly get back to the condo for nap times and forgotten items.
