Islander Beach Resort 3011. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $159 ... $696 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.

Tropical Isle 103. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $102 ... $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!!

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.

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!

Vacation 2026 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
My family and I were very impressed with the condo we rented June 20th through June 27th. Everything look and was pristine. Wonderful view. Great location. Beautiful beach. Big pool area which my kids loved. Fitness center was a little small but thats okay. That wasn't that important. I made it work. It was all in all a great stay. There were even extra things there like lounge chairs, skid boards, books, and games provided. Thank you for letting us stay there for our vacation.

Short Stay at Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Good. Nice place, clean, all stuff needed for a stay. View was great. Only issue was only one elevator was operational during our stay. So, it was a long walk to the one that worked and there were waits to get on because of all the users only having access to one working elevator.
