Heaven Away From Homewse ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
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

AWESOME!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

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.

Relaxing white sand beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The beach service included was great since we had off and on rain on several days, everything was setup where we did not need to carry items back to condo. The condo was describe as updated but it was not . Older counter top and appliances. The condo was still a great location to stay

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.
Great rental in a perfect location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Rental was very clean and had all that we needed for our stay. Literally walk a few feet and your at the beach. Pool area was nice and water was great temperature- only thing is they need someone daily to skim leaves etc out. Renters seemed to do it but shouldn’t have to. Only thing I would say the rental needed was a dust pan since you sweep the floor several times a day due to sand being tracked in and some kind of air freshener installed. Unit smelled a bit musty when we checked in but maybe it hadn’t been used in a while. We did have one issue with a leaking bathroom sink annd the rental company was on it very quickly! Management company was great to deal with. Overall I’d give it a 9 out of10! Book your stay now!!

Excellent Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our stay at Tropical Isle was excellent! Beach access was within steps of our condo, maybe 50 feet total. Beach chairs and Umbrella was set up daily for us. Our condo was very clean. We plan on visiting 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.

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!

Summerlin 401. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $137 ... $608 per night. 2 bedrooms. 7 Max Occupancy.
Spring Retreat ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Overall, the experience was great! Condo was clean and had the basics that we needed. The balcony chairs in the photos did not represent the actual chairs currently on the balcony....that was a minor issue as I selected this condo with bar height chairs so the beach could be viewed without looking through the rails. Master bed was very comfortable. Beach chair/umbrella service was very nice! I would stay in this condo again.

Island Princess 105. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $145 ... $594 per night. 2 bedrooms. 8 Max Occupancy.
Fantastic Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
This condo could not have been located better. The back door led you right to the pool, but not directly on top of the pool where you can hear everyone in it either. It’s a literal 5 minutes from all of the best eating places, and the beach access is connected to the pool. Fantastic place and location.

Island Princess 408. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $150 ... $531 per night. 1 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Beach Rewind ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Our unit 408 was extremely nice. Loved everything about it. Spent lots of time on the beach and balcony relaxing. The umbrella and two chairs are a must for us when choosing a condo. Also gulf front is another requirement. 408 met all of our expectations. Was so appreciative of the multiport charging station and the closet cabinet in the living room. Sugar Sands is so easy to work with and kept us informed at every step. Thank you.

Island Princess 104. Fort Walton Beach, Florida. $154 ... $376 per night. 2 bedrooms. 6 Max Occupancy.
Family of 4 getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great location! I was so disappointed to find that none of the 3 TVs were smart TVs so we weren’t able to stream and movies, I know to some that isn’t a big deal but to us it was bc we usually do family movies at nite. There is a full length mirror in master bedroom which is a huge plus to me and my teenage daughter! This was our first time on a bottom floor, it was definitely easier access to everything but we missed the balcony views and everyone who walked by could see directly in the condo. Overall wasn’t bad I just wish I would of known about the TVs.

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.

Great get away for fall break ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
Great location right in the beach. Loved having chair/umbrella set included with the room. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a great view. Location was close to shopping and attractions. This was exactly what my family needed. Owner was also very responsive and helped us retrieve an item that was left behind.

Fabulous stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
We had the best time, the place is perfect. We loved the fact it’s a penthouse with a lot of privacy. It’s decorated beautifully and has everything you need to stay comfortable. It is a very nice, well taken care of home. The view is amazing and we loved the beach service, the family oriented environment. We witnessed two weddings, we will be staying here again.

The 7th floor Gulf of America facing condo was perfect for the two of us for our three week stay. The entire property was kept very clean and tidy. The pool and hot tub were great and the beach chair/umbrella service a nice perk. Would stay here again.

Highly recommended ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★
The view from our room was perfect, beach and pools. It was a very nice unit. The whole experience was easy and great. Customer service was excellent. Also I’d recommend visiting McGuires for at least one dinner. It’s only a few miles from resort and worth every penny! The tiki hut at resort was great as well.
