Our stay at 211 island Princess was amazing! The view of the beach was perfect. From walks on the beach to boating at crab island and the awesome restaurants near by. I definitely recommend this rental and will return.

Memories ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great! When my kids were growing up we stayed at the Island Princess for probably 7-8 years an always had a fabulous time. My kids are grown now but have fond memories. It's a safe and family friendly place to vacation.

Amazing view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stayed in Island Princess 211. The convenience to the beach and parking garage was wonderful for my three children and elderly mom. The unit was very spacious and had all the things you could need. The pool was very crowded at times.

Beautiful Beach Property ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was shining like a brand new penny when we arrived. No problems locating or getting into the property. The view was spectacular!
Very easy to get to from the parking lot, no elevator needed. Getting to the beach was super easy. We would definitely use Sugar Sands again ( this was our second time). The management, Russ Howard, was very helpful and professional. Can’t wait for our next trip!

Great rental, very clean, nicely decorated, and great views! Would recommend and would stay again.

Wonderful vacation and awesome condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Beautiful view from the condo. One of the best condos we've stayed in. We had an awesome trip. The condo was very clean, great location, and very spacious.

A guest 04/12/2021


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!

Clean. Nice. Family fun. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

These is the third year we have stayed in this rental. I just love it. It’s close to the beach and restaurants. I feel safe here. Definitely recommend

Nice place! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Easy to book, directions were very precise and clear. Sweet little place and the best part is that the beach was just a few steps away.

A guest 08/23/2023


A Nice Stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We really enjoyed our time at the condo. It was clean and comfortable. It was a short walk from the condo to the beach. ��

Tropical Isles Fort Walton Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The room was very clean and close to the beach. It was a last minute stay as my niece had a baby so one of the cleaning ladies at another location gave me the phone number and Beverly was wonderful to locate accommodations for 2 nights. We would definitely stay here again.

Julie B. 10/03/2022


8 day stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great little condo for a family of 5. Quick access to the beach and great communication with the host.

****Rebecca G. 06/26/2023


Clean - Efficient Layout - Timely Communication ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Good - Clean. Comfortable beds. Nice layout of condo. Sufficient starters for stay. Water Pressure and hot water terrific. Pool clean. Beach within walking distance. Laundry room - clean - takes credit cards. Appliances and needed kitchen sufficient. Bad - sofa uncomfortable but sleeper inside comfortable. Odd layout of electrical plugs. Need more towels - 6 towels, 3 wash clothes for 4 persons - used laundry to cover all days stayed. Would recommend to others.

A guest 07/06/2023


Perfect! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was everything we needed for me and my husband. Best part, it's close to the beach!

Michelle D. 05/02/2021


Perfect Get-away! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was super easy to find and access the rental property. It was very clean and had special touches that were greatly appreciated. I especially liked the facewipes in the bathroom! It was very easy to get to the beach and was appropriately priced. We did not pay "on the beach" prices, but it could not have been easier to get to the beach. It was nice having the beach rental chairs right on the other side of the steps. The beds were comfy, tvs were nice and the place was kept up nicely. The only negative thing, which you really could do nothing about, was that you could hear every step someone takes on the upper level. But, that's the nature of staying on the main level. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely stay again.

***Nancy B. 05/20/2021


Quiet get away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Cute, quiet area. Very close to beach. Convenience of a Tom Thumb store in walking distance. The room was perfect size for the two of us , even though there are other beds if you have more. We only stayed one night but would have been perfect for multiple nights. Full kitchen would have been great for making meals. You do have to drive to get to places to eat but not far.

Virginia M. 10/13/2021


A simple, clean condo just a few steps from the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The Condo was bright, clean and had everything I needed for my vacation is not what you call a high end condo, but had been updated and was nice enough. It’s in an older building, but everything seemed well maintained. I thought the price was a bit high since it was not on the water and did not have a water view. But it was an easy walk to the beach. There were 2 beach chairs and an umbrella to use at the beach. The pool was nice and we enjoyed it since swimming was not allowed at the beach for a couple of days because of dangerous surf and rip tides. Overall, I would recommend this condo because of it’s convenience to the ocean. But Next time I will stay where I can hear and see the ocean and it won’t cost that much more.

Debora B. 06/14/2022


Wonderful Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Very easy website to book unit. We loved the location and the quiet surroundings. The beach is wonderful and a very short walk. A very relaxing vacation!

David J. 05/02/2022


Summer Vacation 2022 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our stay at Tropical Isle room 103 was a great experience. We always feel comfortable and safe at Tropical Isle. It is a smaller complex so the pool is never crowded! There is also a convenience store located right next door so those little needed items are easily obtained. The room was very clean and comfortable. 103 is located very close to the pool and the beach is just across the parking lot. We love Tropical Isle for too many reasons to list. we have stayed at this location for nearly 10 years (every year)and will continue to do so :)Sugar Sands Rentals in Fort Walton Beach is great to work with. Book your stay NOW!

Tabatha M. 07/12/2022


Nice small getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The one bedroom condo we rented was adorable. The condo has its own pool and you literally cross am ally and you're on the beach. We would rent again for sure.

Renee C. 07/06/2022


Great get away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was my 3rd time at Tropical Isle and my 2nd time in unit 103. We absolutely love this spot. Quick access to beach, quite, short walk to Tom Thumb for supplies. The unit is very clean and comfortable.

Virginia M. 07/19/2022


Birthday trip for my husband ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I rented this condo for a week for my husband's birthday. The condo was awesome! We had everything we needed and felt right at home. It was across the street from a beautiful beach and the location was great! We were there a week before christmas so it was off season and a lot of places were closed but we picked that condo because it was centrally located to all the things we wanted to do while there. The condo was clean and homey and we would definitely rent it again. The only thing I can say negative about it is sometimes the toilet didnt want to flush the first try but it wasn't a problem, just wait a minute and try again. We could also hear someone upstairs walking around but that's common anywhere you have accommodations above you. Overall it was excellent and we will recommend to everyone!

Vanessa W. 12/23/2019


Excellent location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Place was nice and clean!! Kitchen is fully equipped for you to cook a whole meal and restroom has plenty of towels. Walking distance to the beach I will stay at this place again. Recommend 100%

***Luis C. 06/24/2020


Will be back :) ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Location was great, all my questions were answered quickly and the apartment felt like home. Will be returning for sure!

***Brittney H. 07/19/2020


Prime Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I really enjoy staying at this location, as I have done so on three separate occasions now. It is located mere steps from the dunes of the beach as well as very close to several eateries, a convenience store within walking distance, and the main highway running through Navarre, FWB and Destin.

Nate S. 10/01/2020


Quiet and affordable ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Wasn't crazy about the appearance when we first arrived, but they were in the middle of a rehab. By the time we left the building was repainted and looked great. Super cute.

We had a small issues with our room while there. I reached out to the management office and Russell came out and addressed the issue, and chatted with me for a few minutes. Super nice guy. The customer's experience is very important to him.

The kitchen equipment (pots/pans) were rusty and not in good shape. Really wasn't that big of a deal - we ate out mostly.

A guest 10/05/2020


Hidden gem! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved this little place. The owners were very accommodating, and it was about a two minute walk to the beach. It's also right across a small street from a bodega, which we found extremely convenient. We'd definitely go back!

A guest 10/19/2020


Nice getaway spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Best Vacation Rental ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our stay was a 10/10! Everything was as listed. It was nice to wake up and be able to hear the waves crashing while being 10 steps from the pool. We will definitely be back.

Fall Fuds 2023 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo is perfectly located. They had everything needed to enjoy the beautiful beaches. Destin West has been our favorite place to stay for over 20 years. You can’t go wrong for convenience, cleanliness, and overall accommodations.

The only problem was the coffee pot didn’t work, but Keurig did, we made adjustments and carried on. Beautiful property! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Beverley G. 08/22/2023


Fantastic location on the property ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We would definitely recommend this property! The location was amazing with easy access to the pool and the beach. The owners communicated well and made the whole experience very easy. The property was just as described and fit our needs perfectly!

Love it ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We have stayed at Destin West and booked with Sugar Sands multiple times. Always have enjoyed the experience.

DERRICK J. 09/25/2022


Perfect Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This is a great condo in perfect location. The only suggestions I have for upgrades are adding additional bedding to the closets for use (blankets and proper sized top sheets for the bunks) and the toilet in second bathroom needs new wax ring, it is very wobbly.

A guest 11/29/2022


Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great vacation. Wonderful place to stay. New grills were very nice right outside the room. This room is amazingly close to the beach.Pools and hot tubs were very clean. All the bed mattresses were extremely soft and not good for bad backs.

Great Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Wonderful stay will be going back next year Sugar Sands is excellent

Hilton R. 06/23/2023


Great location for Pool Go-ers ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our ground floor level walked right out to the pool on the gulf side. It was great! The downside was the chairs and table outside were not very comfortable. It was very easy to get our beach chairs from the company.

A guest 04/05/2023


Great Location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

June 2023- I have stayed at Destin West Beach and Bay Resort every time I have been to the Destin Area and each time in a different unit. DW unit 105 is a great location and was perfect for me and my husband. The unit had everything we needed and Sugar Sands was SO EASY to book with! The only complaint we had was the mattress in the main bedroom. PLEASE have the owners upgrade! We had to sleep on the bunk beds and couch after the first night. It is extremely too soft and killed our backs. If we had driven (we flew in) I would have spent the money on a mattress topper and brought it home with us. (That’s the reason for the 4 star review) Otherwise, it’s a 5 star property.

Courtney R. 06/26/2023


Awesome location on Okaloosa Island ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo is showing some wear still clean. Gulfside at Destin West is the perfect location. It's just a few steps from the beach and there are several pools to choose from, both heated and not, which provide an awesome family experience.

Great location met all needs ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I normally don't leave reviews but wanted to for this stay bc there were several things I wish we would have known. Pros- great location loved the 1st floor and quick walk to the beach and right at the pool. The condo was fully stocked with everything we could need or want. Loved that it came with beach chairs and umbrella! Cons- nothing opens until 9am which means no pool and no reserving of chairs until then after standing in line. Since nothing opens until 9 the patio gates remain locked until after 9 and sometimes it was 930 so we had to carry all ther beach toys from the back patio through the condo to go out the other door bc that's the only way in and out from 10pm-9am. Doesn't seem too bad except when you have younger kids that like to beach early and crab hunt at night. We also had things stolen from our patio (towels hanging out to dry). And like past reviewers the washer and drier were the loudest thing we've ever heard! So were the bathroom vent hoods. I was very pleased with the after hour service bc our smoke alarm was chirping bc of the battery and they responded via text very quickly!

Fantastic Pool Side ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had had weather with the cold front that came from Canada that month but still had a good time.A lot to do in Destin and we did get some good weather.We were sad to find out we could not rebook. Our place was small but we loved it.

Norman J. 03/14/2021


Great Rental Company! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals is wonderful to work with. I had to cancel a rental time in May and they were able to use my deposit for a weekend in March. They are so easy to work with! I was even able to get an early check in and late check out for only $100 more! They are amazing!

Jennifer L. 04/13/2021


Great place to stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Condo was clean and ready for our stay. We got a call on the way down to inform us the washing machine was broken. They offered to clean our clothes for us. We are staying again in G105 this fall so hopefully the issue be will resolved. The ground level is so convenient when we have the grandkids. Also the condo is located near the shallow end of the pool. Like that Sugar Sands rental has the 3 night minimum (most have 7 night minimum) and flexible on the check in day.

DERRICK J. 06/10/2022


Perfect location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Location!!!! The pool is 7 Steps away from the back door the beach is very very close by so if you forgot sunscreen you can come back and not be too tired

Need to bring cooking stuff they don’t even have salt and pepper also shampoo and detergent.We also left $50 worth of sand toys there since there was none

Great Florida stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great location and a ground floor next to the pool property was incredible. Almost mandatory now.

Daniel K. 08/02/2022


Great location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The room was on 1st floor with direct access to pool from patio. So so convenient. Pool is open until 11 pm. Hard to find that. Condo is directly in front of the beach too. We had some issues with washer and pull out mattress but Sugar Sands went above and beyond to fix the issues. I've never had a more courteous rental company. Will book with them again.

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.

Fort Walton ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Room was perfect for me, my husband, and our baby! It was probably the cleanest condo I have ever stayed in which is a huge deal especially having a crawling 8 month old. The only thing is there’s no oven, but that meant I didn’t have to cook so it was honestly a win.

Cassidy Y. 07/27/2023

Great little unit! Perfect for our needs! Would have liked to have been able to decrease the temperature below 70, but I understood the reason for the rule. And those bracelets really blend in with the decor!!

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

Amazing Views ~ Clean Accommodations! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

You can't find a better view than what this condo offers! My family of 5 spent a week admiring the views from this beautiful, spacious condo. We saw dolphins, pelicans, seagulls (of course). We enjoyed the beach with our two free beach chairs and the pool and hot tub each day. Plenty to do in Ft. Walton Beach or Destin just a few minutes away without the crowds.
Highly recommend!

Great deal for the rate! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

have a great time and the view is the best. Could use a facility map and location map for the assigned parking spot - never did locate it; plenty of other parking spots available though. The covererd parking area was nice for unloading/loading to stay out of the sun/rain. Recommend!

Perfect vacation spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was a great unit and the overall condo development was okay. The unit #407 was tastefully decorated and just as shown in the pics. It’s a great layout. It was easy to find and so close to so many places to eat and things to visit. The unit itself was missing a pot holder and would recommend perhaps 2 dish towels for the kitchen. It was chiller then seasonally normal so my husband used the hot tub. While the temperature was warm the jets did not function. A bit of a downer but hopefully that can be fixed. Would recommend this location to anyone wanting an ocean view and a beautiful place to stay.

A guest 01/04/2023


IT WAS PERFECT! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a wonderful stay at Island Princess #407!
The condo decor was just as you see in the pictures - coastal casual. This condo has TONS of room and plenty of storage to accommodate many. We especially loved the beach front view and direct beach access. We will be back!!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Everything from the view, the cleanliness of the condo, amenities and location was everything I was expecting and more. We were warned about the upcoming maintenance work which wasn’t a big deal but the only downfall was not being able to sleep in but it did not interrupt our time on the deck drinking coffee, pool or beach time! Would definitely stay here again!

Spring Break ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo has to be one of the best units in the complex for a small family. It had a fantastic view of the Gulf. The living area felt bigger than the pictures portrayed. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean on arrival. We enjoyed the short walk down the beach to numerous restaurants and shops. Oasis has really good coffee that I wish I found earlier in the stay. We would certainly stay here again.

Destin West Gulfside 503 review ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We really enjoyed our time at Destin West. The unit was very well kept, with everything we needed in the kitchen. We found it nice the kitchen had a blender which allowed us to make some frozen drinks to enjoy by the water. I especially enjoyed the awesome view from the balcony while drinking morning coffee.

Anthony M. 08/09/2023


A good week ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Room was clean! View was great of pool & ocean. Sliding door was difficult to open & shut. Master bedroom didn’t cool as much as the rest of the condo. Maintenance came quickly & tried to fix this. Plug in cover was also missing in the master bedroom & maintenance addressed this. No place to store clothes in 2nd bedroom.
We watched the fireworks from the balcony.
Short walk to the beach.
Although we had a couple issues, it would not keep us from staying here again.

A guest 07/31/2022


Fantastic beach vacation! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The Destin West condo was very clean and was in the perfect location. Very quick walk to the beach as well as the pool and lazy river! We were very pleased. The kitchen had several items although I do wish it had a set of mixing bowls! We cooked many meals during the week. Thanks again for a fabulous experience.

A guest 07/18/2022


Outstanding unit with perfect View ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Wonderful condo with a stunning view! Everything we needed or even could have wanted was available to us. This unit was clean and comfortable and perfect for a quick get away. Great owner to work with. The quick walk to the pier and several restaurants was very convenient. The chairs and umbrella provided were so appreciated.

Wonderful family vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Wonderful time with family. Clean , plenty of room , pool right outside door ! Beach steps away. I love this place. Have returned for last several years. Looki g forward to many more family trips here.

A guest 10/12/2022


Very Nice ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I was really happy with my stay at Destin West Gulfside G503. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The bunk bedroom was quite small, and as noted in the description, best suited for kids. You could sleep 6 people there, but that wouldn't be a comfortable situation. Cleanliness was good, the kitchen had virtually everything you might need, and the view of the gulf was very nice. The parking garage is nice and not far from the condo. It's an easy walk to the Boardwalk which has several restaurants and a couple shops. Traffic on highway 98 is pretty crazy, so while I was hoping to do some biking directly from the condo, I decided that wasn't a safe option. Walking into FWB is not a problem; there are sidewalks that go all the way into the city. The property seems to be very well maintained.

Our stay at Destin West Resort ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This place was wonderful. The decor was a little dated, and it was a little small, but the amenities more than made up for it! The pool right outside the unit is huge and clean. Not terribly crowded. The other pools were a little more crowded, but the lazy river was fun. The beach access was perfect. It was only steps from the elevator and it was beautiful. Rentals for umbrellas and chairs were included, and we were able to leave our stuff there when we wanted to take a break for lunch. There are a bunch of small showers on your way back from the beach to get the excess sand off. Everything was a breeze. And the in unit washer/dryer was such a convenience. Was able to keep what we packed to a minimum. I would highly recommend this property!

A guest 06/18/2020

Fort Walton Trip to attend Nephews wedding ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We enjoyed our stay. The condominium was very nice and we had an excellent view of the Beach. Amenities in condo and on property were good. The area that the property is located is near a large stretch of beach that is undeveloped with large sand dunes so very nice beach walks. Will definitely be back for another stay.

Island Princess 502 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This is our 3rd year staying at Island Princess in Fort Walton. The first two years we stayed in the same condo on the sixth floor but could not get it this year so we had to pick a new condo. This condo was clean and laid out well. The only things I could complain about is the showers are out dated, the air conditioning did not cool the master bedroom very well and the red sofa was very uncomfortable. As far as location and the Island Princess complex, it is great!! I did notice this year a sign at the beach stating we could reserve our chairs and umbrella for $15 a day to save on having to get up early or wait in line. I did not like this because we are suppose to get complimentary chairs and umbrella so we shouldn’t have to pay to reserve them just to guarantee that we do.

A guest 10/03/2023


Perfect week! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had the best time. The room was clean, and the view was beautiful! The coffee maker was not working the first morning, we called the office, and they replaced it right away! We will definitely rent here again!

Beautiful balcony view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was as portrayed in the pictures. I stayed in this exact condo 3 years ago and they have done some updating. I thought the beds were too soft so the pull out sleeper sofa worked for me. We ate at Stubyes just down the street and it was wonderful. The Magnolia Grill is always delicious. And the shrimp and grits at The Shack was incredible. You will enjoy this beautiful condo.

Amazing view! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great stay at this condo. The view was amazing and my favorite part. The King size bed was comfortable and my kids loved the bunk beds. I loved that the unit had a washer and dryer since you do have to bring your own beach towels, so we were able to wash those to use for the pool. Pool was heated (we came beginning of March) the hot tub was broken our first day and sadly was scalding hot the rest of our week so we were unable to enjoy that. I loved the beach set up that we were able to use daily, it was a huge plus! The location and beach were perfect. The unit had ample towels and was kept clean, shower did have what looked like some mold starting around one of the seals but still clean. The fridge did have a water filter with ice maker but the light to change the filter was on so not sure if that was just on our stay or all the time(we did not use it though because of this) The only real negative was some of the dishes were not clean, so we would pre-wash before using anything. Also not a lot of closet space for luggage but these few things were not dealbreakers. If given the chance we would definitely come back to this unit/location.

A guest 03/30/2024


Amazing place! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Only 7 stories tall, 2 elevators, covered parking and super clean! We loved that there was a gate code to the pool/beach so not overly crowded!

Awesome view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was a time to celebrate our 27th anniversary and Christmas. Being off-season, it was quite and peaceful. Loved sitting on the balcony and enjoying the views. The polar blast hit everyone but we could still stay cozy and warm and look out over the gulf through the wall of sliding glass doors. Hope to be back in April.

A guest 12/30/2022


Slice of Heaven ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We thoroughly enjoyed our top floor condo rental - fully furnished with plenty of sleeping spaces, 1.5 baths, and the most amazing view of the gulf! We rented during construction so missed out on using our balcony, the pool, and the hot tub - but we got a great discount due to this! Two beach chairs with umbrella included daily and a simple few steps to the beach access! Condo right by the elevator and parking spot near the ground level elevator. We would love to rent again when construction is complete!!

Kimberly N. 03/19/2023


Everything we hoped for! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo had everything we needed/wanted. Great view of the ocean from the room, the room was located directly off the elevator which made going to and from the beach/ pool easy, everything was updated, the kitchen was equipped well, the beds were comfortable and everything was clean! It only rained one day we were there so we used this day to tour the area. We were conveniently located to stores and restaurants. The pool and hot tub were kept clean at this location. We loved that we had chairs and umbrella reserved on the beach so we did not have to pack these everyday! The water was so clear and the sand was white and cool on your feet. We hope to book this same room in November when we return for our anniversary!

2024 Island Princess #305 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our trip to Destin/Ft. Walton Island Princess #305 for spring break was great. It is our 3rd trip to the area with another family couple. We love the area. The condo was just as described online. It was clean, tastefully decorated, and had a great view of the gulf. The only "minor" issue was that the extra bedroom could have used "blackout" curtains at the window because as another guest reviewed, there is a red EXIT sign directly above that window. The room was a bit bright at night for sleeping. Otherwise, great, and would definitely consider another stay.

A guest 04/15/2024


Perfect Gulf & Beach View! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Shannon G. 04/10/2023


Wonderful time on the beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The property description was very accurate explaining that construction was nearing completion. The unit was very clean and stocked very well. The ice maker wasn't working but the management informed us of that prior to our arrival and offered to have bagged ice there for us. We would most definitely recommend this unit. It is so close to the beach and a short drive to so many of the restaurants that we enjoy eating at.

A guest 06/01/2023


Relaxing ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a wonderful and restful stay. The view out the window was amazing. We loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and our morning coffee on the porch. The beach chair service and short walk to the beach made for an easy beach day.

A great place to stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved IP305! Nicely appointed, bright and cheery, and very comfortable. Glad this units owner has pride in their unit. We have visited other units in the Princess, where it is evident that it seems their only concern is having revenue. We were very pleased and can hopefully get the chance to stay in 305 again, in the future. We did not look forward to the day that we had to leave, we tried to leave it as clean as the day we checked in. Thank you to the owners, and Sugar Sands! J.C. & Marcia

Paradise Found ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Absolutely loved our stay at Island Princess 305. The unit was beautifully decorated in colors that complemented the beautiful sea and sand- when you open the balcony doors it felt like the beach and water were an extension of our living space. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed, the living room furniture was very comfortable and the Sugar Sands staff were very friendly and helpful.

Emerald Coast Favorite ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Island Princess #305 is an exceptional condo to stay in on Okaloosa Island. The photos depict how pleasant it is and we loved having it for the week. All the furniture is quality and very comfortable. The beach service was excellent, which we thoroughly enjoyed due to great weather. The water was spectacular. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals is very responsive and helpful. The staff went above and beyond to offer assistance if needed. We should be so fortunate to be able to return to Island Princess #305. A special thank you to the owner for sharing this beautiful retreat!

Beach trip 2021 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our stay at this condo was very nice. We were stuck inside for half the vacation because of hurricane Ida. The people that we dealt with were all courteous and helpful. The only thing I might add to the condo we stayed in was a few rugs beside the beds. Sand is everywhere at the beach but we don’t like it in the bed. Other than that, our stay was wonderful.

Karli A. 09/06/2021


Island Princess Unit 305 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Beautiful home to rent with breathtaking views of the gulf. We found it comfy, quiet and very relaxing. The floor could use a good mopping and the rug needs cleaning, but overall it was clean and tidy. Comfy beds, great A/C unit, nice kitchen, w/d was great too.

Great Choice ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We normally stay in Destin or further east; however, I came across this condo on VRBO and really liked how clean it looked. We haven't stayed in Fort Walton in years, but after this stay, we will be back. The crowds are minimal due to the fact there aren't any high-rise condos; parking was assigned and easy; property came with beach rental set-up and all the necessary amenities needed for a great extended weekend stay. We cooked breakfast in the condo each day and used the community grills for dinner so we could avoid (Covid) crowds at restaurants. Pool stayed clean. Walking to beach literally took less than a minute from the pool to our chairs. Condo was decorated nicely, AC worked great, beds were comfortable, and having a code to enter the room made it nice not having to hassle with a key/card at the beach.

Lana C. 08/10/2021

Lovely Beach Condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We enjoyed our stay at the Island Princess Condo. everything was clean and in good working order. The view of the beach from the deck was great. Really the only thing I wish was that they would have supplied it Better for a whole week stay. Two small rolls of toilet paper, three dishwasher packs, no dish soap is not enough. We had to go to the store for some of each.

Beautiful view...but ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Pros: View, location, good size unit and comfortable.

Cons: The TV's are not SMART tv's. So you can't get Netflix or Prime or any streaming. Cable package is poor - most channels you cannot get. Only working DVD player is in the 2nd bedroom.

Appliances need updating, inside dishwasher is rusty, stove coils do not seat properly so you have to jiggle them to get them to work.

Outside table is rusty - we had to put a towel over it to use it.

Great condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo at Island Princess was beautiful. It was clean and well stocked with everything we could have wanted. The view from the balcony and front bedroom was spectacular. Condo 313.

Condo met most of our expectations ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Positives: Condo as described. Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. Great balcony view! Good HVAC. Nice pool and complex. Appreciate included umbrella and chairs. Pretty good WiFi. Negatives: unsightly beach erosion control poles every 50 ft in surf - not disclosed. Older uncomfy LR furniture. Master bath slippery tub. TV could be “smarter” with apps.

313 Clark's ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was the best vacation I have had in a long time. My son's 1st, my family will not be going anywhere else. I just wished we could of used the balcony, but we did know it was being worked on before we decided to take the room!

A guest 04/20/2023


Great Week At The Beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Condo was clean and view from 3rd floor was fantastic!
My only comment is that the hot tub should be Adult Only.

Cheryl M. 05/24/2020


Sparkling clean, cozy and homey ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My family had a four night stay in this unit after memorial day weekend. It was immaculate, sparkling clean. My kids' feet were not stained black like other places we've stayed in. The carpet was such a nice touch, unique. It was deep and soft, a nice stain resistant gray color. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, anything from measuring cups, tongs for grilling, different size spoons and forks. More plates and bowls than believable. The fridge was big and extraordinarily clean. The oven worked perfectly, vent worked well. The king size bed was showing its usage, springs were a bit used, but still comfortable. The balcony was well appointed with good seating, a nice patio rug, high chairs, it felt so good opening the large doors and allowing the nice gulf breeze to flow in. Also liked the ceiling fans in the bed and living room. Very useful. Loved the location, 3rd floor was perfect because it was near the beach but far enough from the pool to avoid the noise. Loved that the beach was so close, we'd hear the waves at night. Loved that washer dryer worked well, vacuum, broom, toilet plunger, lots of towels, laundry baskets, everything was thought out. Nothing was missing. The unit was charming, shabby chic. I gave it 4 stars because it was showing its age, cracks here and there against the walls, bathtubs were very small even for 5 ft women. Couches sink down from usage, duvet felt worn. I think to rent a vacation home requires updating these things every few years to keep up with comfort. But overall, a very good experience.

Vacation with the Girls! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I took my granddaughters, ages 15-21. The view was amazing! This unit was very nice & clean. We had plenty of towels, washcloths, etc. The washing machine & dryer, really came in handy.
We enjoyed our stay very much!

very clean ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Overall, our stay was great. I was very impressed with how clean our condo was. There were a few minor things like the master bed being very uncomfortable and it was very hot in the master bedroom. The washer and dryer is also very small. I could only wash a few items at a time, so bring extra laundry pods to accommodate for the amount of laundry you will have to do. other than that, highly recommend. Sugar Sands was very easy to work with as well.

Kayleigh K. 10/27/2020


Great Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great location with quick, easy access to the beach. Room was away from the pool which minimized noise. Getgearhere beach service of 2 chairs & 1 umbrella was awesome. However, the company's customer service was AWEFUL. You have to check in immediately for the service or you will be stuck on the back row all week. Condo owner should complain about the set up. I would if I paid that much for their service.

Wonderful and Relaxing ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a truly wonderful time staying in Island Princess. The unit was clean and all was as promised. The only "negative" I could mention is that on our first day on the beach, there were so many guests staying in the building that the beach service had to create a second row of chair/umbrella for us because the front row was full.

Melissa B. 08/24/2021

Perfect for a big family! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Rounded balcony with an amazing view. Great area, I felt super safe. Very clean. Perfect amount of space for 3 adults and 3 kids. The child safety lock on the sliding door was screwed in and out of my kids reach, which was a huge relief and something the other units didn't have.

I would consider bringing your own toiletries. They did provide bar soaps and dish washing powder, but no shampoo, conditioner, or actual dish soap/sponges.

If you have small ones, I'd suggest packing plastic cups and plates for them. There was plenty of dishware, but it was all glass/ceramic.

A wonderful vacation condo! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our condo was beautifully decorated, comfortable, clean and the view from the balcony could not be beat; Just steps from the sandy beach. Conveniently located to wonderful restaurants and other attractions, so there was always something to do. our favorite restaurants were The Shack, Stewbys, The Gulf, and Fokkers Pub.
I would Highly recommend staying in the condo. And also using Sugar Sands for your vacation needs.

Sun and fun ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Arrived in Ft Walton October 15th for a short weekend trip with grandsons ages 6 and 8. They were very excited to sleep in bunk beds. The property was as described; it was clean and had all the conveniences that were listed on web site. Beach access was easy and the view was terrific. Parking was easy. Door and beach code were incorrect but was easily remedied with a phone call. We definitely would stay there again. Everyone had a great time.

Wonderful vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was wonderful, but wasn't long enough!! The view was perfect. The pool below was a tad noisy at times and not any privacy over the pool, but only because of the way the balcony on this unit is set up. The room was clean and quiet (other than the pool at night when we'd turn the air off and open our balcony doors). If I returned, I would go during the off season, which is usually when we visit the beach!!

Brenda H. 06/15/2020


beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Like the property , very clean well kept. I did not like that it was dead center of the pool so you could not sit on your porch and enjoy due to kids screaming in pool.

Very happy with this condo. Right above pool. Easy access to elevator. Can see the beach from balcony. Perfect for our family. The owner actually called me to answer questions I had initially and too the time to go over booking and things to do while in the area. Very impressive. Highly recommend. Was clean and homey. Beach chairs provided each day with stay. Loved this condo and would defiantly stay here again. Don’t hesitate.

Location was great. Easy access to 2nd floor unit. Covered parking was a bonus. Three bedrooms/baths was a great. We had a few minor issues upon arrival but were handled right away. Plenty of restaurants and stores in the area. February is an iffy month for weather. Rather cool and foggy. Disappointed the pool wasn't open due to balcony repairs. With the weather being cool and the pool being closed it didn't give us much lounging outside time. Beach was gorgeous though and sand was white and soft. It was a relaxing vacation and an 8 hour drive was very, very doable.

Family Friendly Vacation Spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our family of 4 comfortably enjoyed our stay late June 2022. Condo was clean, well maintained, and as advertised. The outdoor patio was a little cramped for our family and only provided seating for two. There were two additional small chairs that need to be replaced. One was so rusted it broke during our stay. The other we never sat in because of its condition. Owner said they would be replacing them so that should be addressed already. The beach service was nice but front row is reserved for owners so having small children and sitting 20 yards from the water doesn’t work well. Overall we had a great time and the location was a nice change from the heavily congested Destin area but close enough to get into Destin a couple of times.

Alex W. 07/11/2022


Exceptional Unit ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The unit was exceptionally clean, had plenty of space for our family of 5, and had a beautiful view of the beach/ocean. The air conditioning in the unit cools very well, and the water in the shower and sink get very hot. I absolutely loved this unit, and hope to stay their again soon!

Great location! beautiful ocean and beach views! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Unfortunately we stayed when hurricane Ida hit so the last couple days of our stay were rained out but before that we had a wonderful time! The location is amazing and very close to all major attractions with tons of fun things for kids and families to do.There is no shortage of fantastic restaurants nearby. We have 4 kids ages 2-11 and there was plenty to do for everyone. The beach and pool is just a few steps from the condo and you have to have a code to use them which is nice so not just anyone can come in. The pool is very clean and has a hot tub. They paid for beach service (umbrella and chairs) for our whole stay which was great to have! We were given a parking pass for a specific spot which did not actually exist we had to call and make sure we were in the right place but that wasn’t a big deal they were very quick to help and very friendly. No complaints would definitely stay again or recommend to anyone looking for a nice vacation spot! This is our second time renting with sugar sands and we have been extremely happy with both stays and locations. Thank you so much sugar sands!

Island Paradise ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I loved our stay. The unit is a perfect location for everthing. Close to the pool but not in front of the pool, so there is not a lot of noise. around the corner from the stairs to the beach. The front door is right across from the parking garage. If you have a disability as I do. There is a handicap parking space right there. It was perfect. I like the first floor for this reason as well. It is perfect for me. I go to Ft. Walton every year. Sometimes twice a year and always stay at the Island Princess on Okaloosa Island."Island Paradise." This unit is clean and convenient and a perfect location. My Happy Place!

Island Princess Review ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We really enjoyed our vacation at Ft Walton Beach and the property location was great. Being right on the beach and close to driving distance for everything made it much easier. There were a few minor things not working in our room such as the dryer and stove but management came out right away to fix stove. They also came out mostly everyday in taking laundry for us to wash which was very kind of them. The property was clean and very nice. We were walking distance to stewbys seafood really great place and mini golf. Located right on the beach was awesome. We drive a 5 minute drive to Destin and ate down at Tailfind and rode the pirate ship. Also a minute drive to the Boardwalk and ate at Crab trap, Rocking tacos, and Al's all amazing food places. We walked the pier during sunset right by our place as well. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to others. I think we will be coming back next year!

Ignazio P. 07/21/2023


Great Destination for a family vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great stay at our rental. The rental was perfect for our trip, and a very clean place to stay. So close to the pool, beach and a nice lounge area right outside the door. The staff that maintains the property was very helpful. The dryer broke in the unit a few days before we left and they offered to stop by pick up our laundry to wash them and bring them back if we needed them too. I would recommend this location to any of my friends or family.

Nice resort / Clean rooms ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This is a nice resort. Room was clean.Liked the assigned parking space. Someone was parked in our spot the first night but no problems after that. The construction going on was a little annoying but we managed.

Great vacation destination and stay ! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The beach is beautiful, the apartment is clean and well equipped. The pool is 50 feet away and the beach is 100 feet away from the back door. By far the best vacation rental we have ever stayed it. Food and bars close by, beach chairs and umbrellas to use. The free activities included saved us so much money.

*** Jason C. 08/14/2023

Great location right by the beach and the pool and we didn’t have to worry about any stairs other than going to the beach or elevators. Definitely looking forward to staying here again hopefully next year. Everything very cleaned and maintained.

Summer 2022 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had the best time! This is a hidden gem! We loved the location and check in was a breeze. The condo is not crowded. We never searched for a parking spot or a place to sit on the beach or pool - like many high-rise condos. My only suggestion- the patio furniture is ready to be replaced. We like to eat dinner outside, and the chairs are coming apart. We spent our last night looking at future dates! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Fall Break at the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This property is awesome. Very well maintained with only a few minor flaws. It needs more lights in the master bedroom. Some small rugs beside the bed would be nice to wipe the sand off our feet before getting unto bed. No mater what there is always going to be sand in the floor. My biggest dislike was not being able to lock our condo doors from the pool side. It needs a lock of some type. Even though the room is secluded, I still would like to be able to lock my door. Overall though, the condo was great!

Jon B. 10/14/2022


Great Cono ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stayed in Unit 105. It was steps away from the pool and beach access. The location was family oriented and was perfect for us.

Great Trip ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We arrived May 31 thru jun 4 2023. We hadn’t stayed on okaloosa island in a while. When our kids were smaller we stayed at Ramanda inn now The Island. I asked some co workers where a good place to stay and was island princess was recommended to me .. we had an amazing time . The room was great , only fall back was being on the ground floor no ocean view ! We stayed in 105 . The upper side of that was with 7 of us and 2 being grandchildren it was easy access to pool and beach . Another plus when you come back to your room you enter thru the porch area and you don’t have to drag all the beach stuff thru the room to the porch area .. because you can never get all the sand off of everything .. that was a big plus .. the room was clean and very nice ! I would recommend it to anyone and would definitely come back. I was kind of worried about contact but they always responded and was so nice. The only reason for a 4 on about the equipment was the hot tub jets weren’t working which was not a big deal ! The pool was clean and nice !!

Excellent stay! Condo better than expected ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our stay at 105 Island Princess was magnificent. The weather was uncertain the week we were there, but being right on the beach and next to the pool made it extremely convenient to just look outside and determine if we can go outside and enjoy the sand/pool/beach. There were a few electrical outlets that were broken throughout the condo, but we manage to find the ones that work for our phone chargers. (Recommend owner to fix broken outlets). Other than that the condo was perfect and hope to stay again next year.

Perfect for a Laid Back Beachfront Escape ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We couldn’t have been happier with the location as we literally walked out onto the pool deck and across a small walkway to the beach! The unit is on a semi-private patio - people do walk past to go to the beach but about as private as you can get for a ground floor unit. Our child loved playing with the MANY beach toys and small sand/rock pile on the patio! (Don’t waste your packing space on beach toys/floats - the ones left at the unit are great!) The unit is very clean. The guest bed was not comfortable to me but the king was comfortable for my family members. Only a few minor suggestions - replace the guest mattress, put blackout curtains in the guest room (light from parking lot was extremely bright and frustrating for this darkened room sleeper), clean ceilings and air vents, and there was a strong gas odor coming from the area where the pool maintenance stuff was - perhaps check on that and make sure CO2 detectors are working well.
We would stay here again just for the awesome location! If you just want to hang at the beach with easy in and out access, it’s a great choice at a great price!
Bonus - the weather was wonderful and the water was pretty clear for most of the days. Fall Break caused the beach to be a little busier than I prefer, but you are still much better off here than the huge crowds further down at larger resorts. We also had a hard time getting our beach chairs reserved consistently, but they were accommodating. The guys who clean the shower/pool and hot
Tub areas are really hard workers and it looks great every morning!

A guest 10/24/2020


Great Condo & Would Recommend for Families! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo is great if you want to be close to the pool! The pool is literally steps away from the back door. We had 2 adults and 4 children with us and there was plenty of room for us. We never felt crowded. The property was clean but it took us until day 4 to realize we had to flip a light switch to turn the TV on. We spent most of our days at the beach, which had chairs and an umbrella inlcuded, or the pool. We did go deep sea fishing on Lady Em and WOW what an experience!

Felicia B. 04/08/2021


White Sand Beach Steps Away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo sets on the Gulf side. There is a heated pool and hot tub steps from the back patio. Complimentary chairs are set up on the beach in high season. The condo was clean and well maintained. It is on the ground floor so you do not see the ocean from the patio because of the dunes. However, it is steps away.

A guest 03/04/2021


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!

Island Princess 105 Review ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Overall Experience was good. The location of the rental was very nice. The layout of the unit was perfect, and the unit came fairly well stocked with kitchen tools and accessories.
The beds were not very comfortable, and pillows hard (bring your own pillow if you want soft pillows) The TV in the living room was quite small compared to 2021 standards, but we spent most of our time outside. If it had been storming more, it might have been nice to watch a movie on a bigger TV. Otherwise the room was nicely laid out and decorated in an inviting way. Thanks!

My daughter and I stayed here for a last minute vacay to the beach. Our room was a ground floor and right next to the pool/beach access point. It was so convenient. The condo was clean and nicely decorated. I realized after an hour down the road, I had left two travel mugs in the dishwasher. I texted housekeeping and they mailed me the cups for free! I was thrilled :)
We will come back!

Island Princess 104 !! Okaloosa Island. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

When Vacasa cancelled our unit dats before check in Sugar Sands saved our vacation plans !! We stayed 10 days from Feb - Mar 2024 at Island Princess 104. This unit is decorated in a bright beachy theme and has super comfortable beds. We love the convenience of the ground floor unit with the littles. Steps to the pool / hot tub and beach. Highly recommend Sugar Sands !!!

Excellent stay—unit exactly as described and expected ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The unit was perfect for our needs. We were joining family 2 units down and being on the first floor allowed easy access to both units. The unit was very clean and well decorated. All appliances were in good working order.

May-June 2022 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great time. The stretch of beach was perfect, clean and not very crowded - especially since we were there over Memorial weekend. The room was nice in a convenient location to parking, the pool, and beach. Ground floor is fantastic for families with children, they can catch lizards in the small gated courtyard and it's a much easier trip to the beach and pool from the ground floor. The room was extremely clean. Some things are a bit worn (dresser drawers for example), but I didn't mind as it was very, very clean. The only thing we weren't thrilled with was how busy the pool was most of the time, but our son loved it.

Great Getaway! Great Location! Great Experience! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We enjoyed our stay greatly. The location was perfect for us, and we loved the convenience of the pool, ocean, and parking. The chair service each day at the beach was fantastic! The unit fit our needs and was very clean. Some minor maintenance or updates are needed, but I would not hesitate to stay here again as is. The only downside to this unit is the lack of view, as the sand dunes are in front of the patio. But the convenience of the location on the ground floor outweighed our lack of an ocean view.

40th Anniversary ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We were very pleased with everything. The condo was just as viewed on the website with everything we needed. The beach was a very short walk over nice walkway that had built in areas for you to leave your shoes and the area to wash off the sand was very nice. The pool was very clean with lounge chairs and tables everywhere. I loved the beach service guy, Hunter. He was so nice, polite, and accommodating to our needs. Having the chairs and umbrella ready for you each morning was wonderful. Parking was convenient to our room and the luggage carts were very helpful. I can’t think of anything negative to say. We would stay here again.

2023 - A couple of weeks on the beach. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo it's self is clean, well equipped and spacious. Some of the furniture needs to be updated. When I made my reservation there was no mention of construction. I later received an email stating construction to the outer building would be ongoing during my stay and it would be limited from 9-5 which undauntedly the time limitations did not make it's way to the construction workers. The noise from the construction was annoying to wake up too.

The sun, white sand and the crystal clear water helped to over come some of the inconveniences.

Over the years I've stayed all along the beach on okaloosa island and believe that it's has one of the most beautiful coasts around. The buildings along the beach are no higher than seven floors. If your looking for a great getaway without the party crowd this is the place.

Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals gets a AA rating. (The top rating being AAA's is reserved for my next stay without the construction noise)

Spring Break Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This rental was FABULOUS. My family truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. It was the perfect size for our family of 4 with great views of the beach. The rental was clean and cozy. The bed was comfy which is always a good thing. The elevators weren't slow(huge plus in my book) the walk to the beach was easy and the pool was great. We were there while construction was going on, I have to say I fully expected it to be so much worse. We barely knew they were there. The management company was great and responsive. Beverly was so helpful. We would definitely come back!

Fun vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a wonderful time. The condo is in a great location on the beach. The staff at Sugar Sands are very nice and efficient. The Aqua Villa equipment on site needs to be updated. The coin laundry machines are terrible, only half of them work. The washers will start a load, but not finish. We lost money on them. We would stay again, but the equipment needs updated, since not able to do laundry in a lot of units.

Michael C. 08/12/2023


Perfect getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was amazing. I absolutely loved the experience and accommodations. The location is perfect, everything was within minutes and I didn't have to leave the room. The pool is right outside the door, the house was very clean, the beach is one minute walk. The only thing I could have wanted was curtains in the double bed bedroom. The room is off of the parking lot and the light was bright. Nothing to much. Amazing place and experience.

Overall, everything was excellent. The location was great, the views are amazing and the condo was perfect and clean. There are many nice restaurants within minutes, and a short drive to Destin for a lot more attractions and things for the kids. We saw dolphins from our balcony, jellyfish on the beach and a lot of fish while swimming! Excellent stay and communication from Sugar Sands.

Would definitely book this condo again and again.

Clean, oceanfront unit! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This unit was perfect for our family and was very clean. We loved the space, the view, and our whole trip.
My only recommendation is that some additional items be added to the kitchen (more coffee mugs, ice cream scoop, SPATULAS, mixing bowls, and more than 2 pillows for the king sized bed in the master).
Thank you!! We will return!

Best Condo on Okaloosa Island ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The Condo was so clean and I'm very picky! You could walk barefoot on the tile floors and your feet not turn black,like other condos we've stayed in.The 4th floor had a perfect view and the heated pool was great! Also, beach chairs and umbrella is included, which is awesome! There is Stewby's Seafood Shanty and Steamer restaurants, across the street, which are great and convenient. Having a lifeguard next to us was a bonus. We will definitely stay here again!

Great Dolphin Views on the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great view and location. Easy access and all things we needed were right there. Loved the free beach service!! The condo was very clean but a bit outdated. A few times when we’d touch a random knob or twist the shower knob it would fall off. The foot of the bed sticks out so far that my husband and I ended up bruised from banging our legs when walking by. These are things that are easy to fix and not a deal breaker.

This unit was very nice, and made our visit to Okaloosa Island a pleasure!!

Excellent place in an excellent location with an excellent view. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This is my second time staying in this unit and it was just a great as the first time. The new oven, microwave, and fridge was a great improvement to an already great unit. Really only thing missing was a spatula. Guessing this was either accidently taken by a prior guest.

Tyler B. 05/10/2023


Small but nice ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The most important feature for an enjoyable stay is cleanliness and this unit was immaculate! The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and nice appliances. The unit is small but the amount of storage was more than adequate. Thought we had an issue with a TV and the ice maker, got immediate help from mgmt. Turned out to be user error. Decor is a bit dated for our taste & popcorn ceiling needs to go. Enjoyed out visit overall.

Weather was great, condo was outstanding and roomy, Sugar Sands was very helpful. Balcony of condo was very large and enjoyable.

Gorgeous condo in a wonderful location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We have stayed at many other units on this property over the years, and this by far has been our favorite. The furnishings are beautiful, the bedding was comfortable, and the sturdy patio furniture was great for taking in the ocean views. The unit appeared to have been recently remodeled and felt fresh! We LOVED having access to beach umbrella service, especially during a busy holiday weekend. The unit is well equipped, the ONLY minor thing I would add is that there are only plastic dishes available that cannot be microwaved, which made heating anything up challenging. Perhaps adding a few more china dish options would be great. Other than that the condo was wonderful. We definitely plan to stay in this unit in the future.

A guest 06/05/2023


Amazing Spot ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

If you are looking for a family friendly beach vacation. This is the spot. Our family stayed here with our 4 and 6 year old kids. This is the last property on this strip of beach, making it very secluded and quiet, even during spring break, which is when we stayed. The pictures of the views from the unit don't do it justice. You open the front door and see a full panoramic of the ocean right away. This is the closest building to the beach so it is truly: step out of your door, go down the elevator, and walk right on to the pier leading to the beach. Extremely convenient. Loved everything about this unit, the location, and our stay overall.

Good Times ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was very nice inside and easy to get into. I liked that it was kind at the end of the condos on the beach. The sliding door to the balcony needed some grease and the elevators were slow but that is minor. We will definitely consider this property when we come back.

Matthew P. 10/01/2020


Great week, very few, minor issues ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The complex was wonderful, lots of space, beautiful beachside pool (Too cold to swim in when we were there) beautifully maintained grounds. We did have problems with one of the elevators "Sticking" and got stuck for about 10 minutes on it but the company came out and worked on it very quickly, just a bit scary. The heated pool was down for repair work so that was a bit of a bummer but not a deal breaker. The condo itself was beautiful, well stocked, very clean and comfortable. The ice maker in the fridge was super slow but we just bought ice at Tom Thumb. The beach area was amazing, views from the condo were amazing. Loved this quiet location enough to return again and again. We are senior citizens and being in a quiet location is what we need. The management company (Jasmin) was wonderful, she quickly answered any questions and was so very helpful.

Great view! Conveniently located! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

As a larger family its difficult to find a clean affordable safe place to take a vacation! Our stay here provided everything we were looking for and was close enough to the water you could hear the waves crashing at night. Stores and shops of all types were conveniently located nearby yet the location of our rental made it feel like we were the only people there! Neighbors were quiet and respectful...and staff we interacted with were pleasant and helpful as well. We could even door dash dinner if we felt like staying in and the guards would call and make sure we were expecting someone before letting them on the property. I give our stay ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comfortable updated condo on beautiful beach. What more could you want!

7 day stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Nice quiet area, but easy to get to stores and restaurants. Beach is beautiful. Very nice updated condo, well stock kitchen for cooking. Only used the master bedroom very comfortable. Living room furniture is very comfortable. Exterior of building could use a little paint, but clean and quiet.
Pool area was nice, we spent most of our time on the beautiful beach.

Paul J. 05/14/2023


Summer Vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great time on our vacation. The Condo was just like it was described and the pictures of it accurate. The Beach access was easy and there was easy parking. My Wife had left her FitBit watch down at the pool and someone had turned it in to the property Manager. The property Manager was great and very helpful with any questions we had. We highly recommend Aqua Villa Vacation rental #301 and the Sugar Sands Vacation Rental Team! Remember to book directly with them since VRBO charges a fee.

A guest 06/21/2022


Stepping Out of the Norm ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

From the outside you'd never see the beauty. Villa 301 was CLEAN and felt more like a COZY apartment. All the other guests and tenants were nice. The location relative to the beach was perfect, walking only a few of steps. The views felt like they were inside with you. I loved the private side balcony!! Only one thing that could possibly be fixed is the water pressure in master bathroom. This retreat was a beautiful way to start off 2022. We would MOST DEFINITELY stay again��

Iowa Nice on the Beach!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The location of this condo is truly perfect. The pictures are a true representation of the condo itself with views from every angle. We loved the location and the friendliness from everyone we met. The pool was larger then expected and had a large amount of toys that people shared throughout the week. We would love to go back.

Serena M. 08/03/2022


Amazing set up ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

You are right on the beach dont have to look for crossing the street or anything like it. We went for early morning treasure hunt , late night strolls hardly anyone on the beach. Gives you plenty of privacy to enjoy with your kids

Vishal P. 07/08/2022


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!

Brittany W. 01/01/2023


Chilly Christmas Chillin’ ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Beautiful unit, clean, perfectly located, very well stocked, comfortable beds, cool dining room table and chairs/benches and the view was phenomenal! The water was extremely warm which caused an eerie, amazing fog on the water in the mornings which made it even more special. Beverly was so very helpful and easy to work with for the reservations. Highly recommend!!

Booked this condo for Memorial Weekend. It has awesome views, beautiful remodel and well equip for anything you need. The beaches were not over crowded in front of condo, enjoyed and will be back.

A guest 05/28/2020


Great place to stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was in a great location. The umbrellas were awesome to have been furnished. It was also nice to have extra chairs to take to the beach but they were old, rusty and fallen apart. But the condo was in good shape, clean and a very nice place to stay. Will certainly go back.

A guest 06/01/2020


Great vacation rental. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★


Great apartment in good location.

Great family cabin! We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Spring Break Baseball Trip ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Came to Destin to support our varsity baseball team. The team stayed next-door at the Island, so we stayed at Destin West. The location was perfect and the view was spectacular. The condo was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay . It was decorated really well with a tasteful beach theme. Check in was easy. Our daughter loved her bunk bed retreat with her own bathroom and TV. The complimentary beach chairs and umbrella were great, but you do get 2nd row since they save front row for paying guests ( totally understandable) , and they even have drink and food service on the beach right to your chairs . That was a nice touch. We will be booking this condo again next year for our 2025 Spring Break.

Carol B. 03/30/2024


Excellent vacation with kids ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Amazing Stay for Fall FUDS ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stayed here for the volleyball tournament that gets put on every spring and fall. It was our first time staying at the Destin West and we could not have picked a better location. It was clean, comfortable, and walking distance to the boardwalk so outside of the grocery store we never had to leave. Would definitely stay at this resort again.

A guest 11/13/2023


We’re Home Again ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was our third year staying in Gulfside 303 all of February 2024 through the first week in March. We have already booked for 2025. When we walk in we feel like we’re “home”.
The view of the gulf and sunsets from the balcony are amazing. We are only steps from the beach too.
The condo is quite comfortable and decorated and furnished nicely!

Lazaro R. 03/09/2024


Phenomenal!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My small family of 5 stayed here and it was just right! It is right on the beach, and also super easy access to the pools, and lazy river. Lots of restaurants within walking distance so we did not have to drive at all! We will definitely be back!

Lisa B. 05/18/2022


Destin Condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great room and view was nice, we could see the ocean and faced the main pool. The condo pool was great! The beach access was close, and the pier was walking distance down the beach, lots of fun! I suggest bringing snorkeling gear for fun in the clear waters.

Audrey H. 08/22/2022


Great condo, great location, great view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo is terrific. We really loved the view from the balcony looking out over the gulf as well as pool area. Condo was very clean, the beds (including the bunks) were very comfortable. Beach service was a nice bonus.

Review ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Nice location and easy assess to the beach and local restaurants. Room was nicely decorated and clean. The sliding patio door to the balcony would not lock but we’re on the third floor so not a problem. Would like to stay again sometime.

Labor Day Get Away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stay at Destin West Gulfside a couple of times a year. The Sugar Sands rentals are always clean and inviting. This unit was recently remodeled and had a new stove and refrigerator. The 1 bedroom /bunk room/ pull out couch is comfortable for 6 people. The kitchen is well stocked Most importantly, the view is amazing.

Carol P. 09/11/2023


Winter beach getaway 2021 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We booked DWGS #303 from 12-31 through 2-1-21. Upon arrival we noticed that the condo was very clean & very well decorated in a beachy theme. The condo was super comfortable from the beds, the living room furniture & dining furniture. The kitchen has everything that you’ll need or want. The view of the gulf is spectacular & you just can’t get enough of it. Your views are inside & outside out on the patio with seating for 6. The location of the condo is close to grilling area, fitness area & unheated & heated pool/spa area just 2 floors below you. Access to the beach is a 2 minute walk over a nice composite decking to white sand & turquoise water. When returning there’s water to clean off sandy feet. There’s another plus from 3rd floor, you can access a walking bridge to get across hwy 98 to use Destin wests other property amenities or anything on that side of the road with out dealing with traffic. DWGS303 is walking distance to many food & bars plus a short drive over the bridge to Destin and possibilities are all around you. A great place for a great time!

Beautiful condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stayed there the entire month of February and a few days into March.
The condo is beautiful inside. Clean throughout, updated appliances, beach theme decor. The view of the gulf, from the spacious balcony was amazing, especially the sunsets. The best part was this condo was “steps” to the beach!
Walking to to Boardwalk to the shops and restaurants very convenient and easy.
We already booked this condo for 2023.

Great attention to detail! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The place was spotless when we arrived. From the little welcome bag with coffee essentials to the perfect storage cubbies in the bathroom, it’s clear that the host has put a lot of thought into making this a comfortable, welcoming space. It’s a great location within the complex, with easy access to both the beach and the crosswalk to lazy river. Would highly recommend!

This property was just as described- very clean and in a great location! The beds were comfy, and the chair service on the beach was fantastic. Communication with management and check-in/out instructions were very clear. The ease of having a keycode so we didn't have to worry about a key or keycard was great! We would definitely consider staying again if we return to the area!

Perfect Beach Getaway!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was one of our best trips to the Destin area. Tina was very accomodating and quickly responded to any questions that we had. Our unit was decorated very beachy, extremely clean, and had everything that we needed while there. The balcony had a beautiful view of the gulf and the huge swimming pool. Everything around the resort was well maintained and in excellent condition. I highly recommend this property and our family will definitely stay here on our next visit to Destin.

Jessica M. 04/14/2020


Wonderful! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo is larger than it looks. It is beautifully decorated and the beds are very comfortable. It overlooks a nice view of both the pool and ocean. And the umbrella and chairs provided are an added bonus. The only negative is the extremely crowded beach. Apart from that, we enjoyed our stay here and at this condo. I highly recommend!

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.

A guest 10/14/2023


Beautiful! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Excellent views of water and beach from balcony. Condo was very comfortable. Had to request a repair which was done easily and manager very friendly. Mattress not the best but I slept well. Would have liked more restaurants close by.

Anna W. 07/01/2023


Great place ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Had a great time, very clean, very hot water, loved having 2 bathrooms, use the stairs and be on the beach in a couple of minutes, balcony views were awesome, loved your patio furniture. Would definitely book again!!!!

Laurie V. 08/01/2023


Pelican isle ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was as described. A little dated but clean. It had everything we needed. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is becasue the propert didn't have but one rinse shower in the middle by the pool. Extremely inconvenient when coming in off the beach on the west side. Honestly from either side.

A guest 10/10/2023

***Joy B. 12/20/2022


Pelican Isle 217 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Excellent property very clean and quiet Enjoyed the view from the balcony. Only thing I would suggest is for the owner to invest in pod coffee pot that is what most people are using so when you have to buy filters and ground coffee you have leftover to deal with no big deal would rent this property again

Cecil M. 02/19/2023


Great Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Just as described, great location, great value. Management checked in with us the day prior to make sure we had all of the information and that questions were answered. The complex was clean, and orderly as was the unit. The work-out room was lacking. We used this as a location to catch our breaths and to grieve/process after my mom passed away. It was a wonderful location and met our needs (family of 6) perfectly. The beach is clean and peaceful. The pool and hot tubs were clean and temps good. Need to replace the ironing board, batteries for remote controls (not that we watched much tv) and get a better locks for the bedroom and bathrooms (one wiggle and they open). Otherwise, really good experience. We will be back if time permits. Thank you

John S. 04/16/2023


Perfect space for a last minute get-away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was perfect for a last minute trip with my best friend. The space was exactly as described. It was clean and well maintained. Location is perfect you are just minutes away from shopping and dining in Fort Walton or can take a 10-15 minute trip into Destin. We will definitely consider booking with Sugar Sands Resort for our next trip to Fl.

Beach Break '23 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Could not have been any easier! The location was perfect for us being just far enough on th quieter side yet still so close to everything!

A guest 05/03/2023


Perfect location on the water!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This unit had everything my best friend and I needed to relax for the week!!! Exactly as described, including a couple bonus beach chairs and umbrella! The beach chairs could be replaced (they left rust spots on my towel) but that is literally the only negative I have to say. The view from the unit was everything, and the location of the unit at the end of the building meant we could walk right down the stairs, out the door and onto the SUGAR white sand. The property is towards the west end of the island which means walking to any restaurant is a little far but worth it for the quiet residential vibe. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Kelly Z. 05/21/2023

The ONLY thing missing was a can opener and some Tupperware. Was pleasantly surprised at how nice the unit was.

My friends and I couldn’t have picked a better place to take our girls getaway vacation. The rental was clean and convenient to everything. We loved sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the beautiful views of the ocean and the smell of the salt air!! The beach and pool are literally right there and so we could go ba k and forth to the condo as often as needed.

This condo is very inviting and welcoming. Views are amazing and the maintenance staff are wonderful. We had a slight problem with a bedroom TV and even after me telling them it wasn't an emergency they came immediately and tried to repair the issue and when they couldn't repair it they replaced with a new TV so to say the least this service is amazing and I would highly recommend using them again. The beds were very comfortable and the unit was extremely clean. Thank you again for a wonderful vacation experience.

Beautiful Condo with Amazing Ocean Views ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at 312 Pelican Isle! The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed! The view of the beach was unbelievably gorgeous. We started and ended our days on the balcony. Sugar Sands provides you with free activities to do while you are on vacation and we took advantage of a round of golf for my husband and he loved it! This is our second year to stay at Okaloosa Island and it’s become our favorite spot to vacation to.
We highly recommend Sugar Sands and can’t wait to book through them again next year!

Kayse B. 05/21/2023


Wonderful Experience! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The property, while older, was well maintained and we were impressed by how clean the grounds were kept during our entire stay. We also loved the idea of the "Beach Toy Library" they had in the garage area! Wish we had that when our kids were young! Our unit was in pretty good shape with a few exceptions. The flooring in the master needs to be replaced-carpet is not beach friendly. We did not go barefoot in the bedroom because the carpet felt and looked dirty. The pillows could be replaced as well but the bed was comfortable and the bedroom itself was dark and quiet so we slept well. The ac and water pressure were great! The furniture throughout the unit was comfortable and in good shape.
While we didn't cook much, the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. The toaster does need to be replaced as the middle heating element was missing so the bread only toasted on one side at a time and you had to hold the lever down the whole time to get it to work at all.
The view was great, the location was great, the chair service was great, and we were pleasantly shocked at how quiet the unit was. We could hear noise from the pool area during the afternoons/evenings when we were in the living area but never past 10 pm.
Overall, I would definitely recommend the property and was very impressed with the Sugar Sands Vacation Rental team. We contacted them with minor questions and their service was impeccable!

A guest 07/11/2023


Great Get-away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was our first time staying at Pelican Isle. The condo was clean and had everything we needed (bring extra dish towels and dish cloths, we only had one!) The bed was comfortable and the decor was definitely beachy. The view was spectacular! Beach chairs and an umbrella were provided until November 1, then you’ll need your own. We stayed part of October and part of November. It was quiet and relaxing. We were very glad we booked this condo!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The location is great. The view from the balcony is incredible. We watched dolphins com there almost every morning we stayed. The staff at the building were very helpful and friendly. Everyone we met that lives there were friendly as well.
The condo is located near several shops, restaurants, grocery stores etc...
Overall this was a great getaway

Family vacation get away ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Really enjoyed our stay. The unit was very nice.

A guest 08/12/2023


Fun stay at Tropical Isle 104 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My family had a great time in unit 104. The renovated condo was small and simple but provided everything we needed for our stay. The beach was a short distance and chairs and an umbrella were complimentary daily during our visit. There was plenty to do on Okaloosa Island and also a short drive to Destin. Sugar Sands Rentals were extremely helpful with any questions or situations that arose. I definitely recommend for a simple relaxing stay.

A guest 06/25/2023


Great cozy place ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was very clean and only 30 steps from beach entrance. There was a convenience store right next door that came in handy.I would stay here again great place! There were 2 cons but they were very minor as you are about to go in there is a little lip that I trip on a couple times,and second the bed frame was too big and I snased my shin on twice not good but be careful and you will be fine

A guest 05/10/2023


Thumbs Up! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Tropical Isle #104 more than met our expectations. The unit was spotless, updated and very well appointed. Bed was very comfortable. Location to beach was great.

A guest 02/26/2023


Great Condo & Location! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Despite the terrible weather we were stuck with the condo itself was great. Plenty of places to sleep, newer appliances, very clean. Just wish the table next to the bar area was much smaller or a dropleaf. Made the walkway area very small, only complaint in the condo. Pool was nice, just would like to see more umbrella options and the shallow end pool entry was not conducive to handicap individuals. The handrails entering are very low to the ground. I would definitely stay here again.

Tropical isle unit 104 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

SISTER TRIP ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

With Covid, my sister and I had planned to start our vacation by scrubbing this house once we arrived, however this house was ridiculously clean. We couldn't find one finger print, anywhere. The decor was a little outdated, but the fridge was cold, the beds were comfy and the beach was just across the street. The decor was a little outdated but we didn't mind due to pending all our time on the beach.
Over all, great, cute little beach find that we want to do again next year!

Walking distance to the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

What I liked best is going to the beach. My son and grandson could go fishing and I could walk the beach and seat under the umbrella and read a book. The condo was nice and clean. Kitchen was great to be able to cook if we wanted to.

Sonia C. 07/17/2023


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.

Steve S. 07/09/2023


Clean affordable condo steps from the beach!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My family and I have spent spring or summer at this condo complex for the past six years and it never disappoints!! We love the affordability and convenience of being so close to a clean and less crowded beach just steps from your unit. The unit was clean and had everything you'd need for a getaway. The property management was polite and responsive. The only issue we had was that the TV in the bedroom kept glitching. Overall it was an awesome 2023 spring break on Okaloosa island and we will definitely be back next year!!!

Charles W. 04/06/2023


Perfect for our young family over spring break ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Clean, no obvious fragrances in our unit (this is DELIGHTFUL - please continue this! The only scent we detected was on extra bedding for pull out couch, possibly on towels). The location was quiet, felt very safe, the unit and pool were clean. We did not worry about our vehicle being broken into. Loved the quick walk to the beach. Some unit owners were present. Very little foot traffic in the area. Other families and individuals present. Needed to contact management once for the use of beach chairs and umbrella, this was sorted within 30 minutes. Excellent location. It would be a joy to return!

A guest 04/27/2023


A slice of Heaven ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Amazing vacation condo. Clean, ocean front location, quiet, beautiful pool. No issues. Owner, Russ, very kind & knowledgeable. We plan on coming back next year!!

Miriah W. 06/16/2023


Wonderful stay for our family! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great time. The stay was small and quiet which was perfect for us. Pool was great for the kids. Gas station next door was super convenient and the walk to the beach.

This was the perfect location to the beach and the right size for our family of 4!

Colin T. 06/03/2021


Good company ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had an issue in the unit we had originally rented. The issue was severe enough that we did not feel comfortable staying in that unit. The company was apologetic and understanding and moved us to another unit. They went above and beyond to make things right and we would definitely rent from sugar sands again!

A guest 06/12/2022


nice for a couple nights ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

exactly as described. Folks in unit above were a little loud, I think they all wore high heels. Unit was clean. Great location.

David C. 06/06/2022


Great place ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The location was amazing. It was close to the beach but off the main strip so traffic was not as crazy. Place was Clean and well kept.

A guest 07/06/2022


Great Beach Getaway! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The location of this condo is so convenient! You have easy access to the beach and are so close. The rooms are kept very clean and have anything you would need. Contacting the property manager for checkin and checkout was very easy and they are all helpful.

Amanda S. 07/01/2020


Nothing Fancy ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Room was outdated, but overall we were happy with our stay. If you want fancy, then this is not the place for you. The walk to the beach is easy. I'd likely not stay here again due to the outdated feel of the room and entire place. But if you want economical, then this place will work for you.

Chris H. 10/01/2020


Sugar Sands Vacation Rental Review ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had the best experience with Sugar Sands! The rental was exactly what we had imagined! So clean and neat, easy to locate. I will most definitely recommend Sugar Sands to people that I know!

A guest 10/16/2020


Last Minute Savior ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We moved to Pensacola during Sally and needed a place to stay while we waited for our house to close. We couldn't find anywhere with Power and Water until we reached out to Sugar Sands. They saved our family a world of heartache. This place was clean and soo close to the beach!

***Abnel D. 10/01/2020

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.

Ronald V. 08/17/2022


Great Area! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was a great place in stay! Loved the location!

Traci C. 10/12/2022


Great Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great location, quiet and near anything you want or need. Overall our suite was clean.
The bed and the pull out were uncomfortable as well as the pillows.
The only mirror in the suite is the small one above the sink. Could use more shelving or storage for bathroom items or a bigger vanity at the sink. It would make morning routines easier.
No oven and no toaster oven so baking anything was not possible.
Some decks had chairs outside to sit on, ours did not
I understand you get what you pay for and this suite was affordable. I would rather pay a little more next time
Staff was friendly and helpful. I would book with SS again but not Tropical Isle #202

Pelican Isle 404 by the shore ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Lovely reetreat with my husband celebrating our anniversary. Well maintained condo overlooking the ocean and beach. Very peaceful and restful and clean. We had an issue getting in because we had the wrong door code but they quickly responded. Professional communication from everyone including Al who works at Pelican Isle and our housekeeper Tenesia. Great amenities. Can use a pizza cutter. And perhaps a listing of restaurants or things to do as we don't know how to use Alexa.

Vacation 2023 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved it here. Our first time in Florida ! It had great view and a homie feel to the place. Only thing I hated that they was no dead bolt lock on the upper main door and my toddler could easily escape by pulling in the handle because it happened once and we had to make up a way for her to not let her self out the main door. Other than that we loved it and the area. Great location!

The views from this 4th floor condo are perfect and its a quick walk to the beach with a beach shower by the condo’s pool. The condo itself is much bigger and more up to date than the photos. We were in heaven in this airbnb, close to destin, but nice and quite at night. We used the kitchen for almost every meal and enjoyed having 2 bathrooms! Would stay here again and highly recommend it!

Pelican Isle perfect vaca ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

we found the unit to be very clean. The unit met our expectations. Pelican Isle provides the best location for a beautiful beach stay and is a good place for accessing shopping and dining. The only negative is the owner used the closet for storage and since BR is small there is no place to put luggage. Owner provides 1 dish towel n 1 cloth and short on bedding for sofa. Rental agency veryvpleassnt to work with and very helpful with questions.

Beverly is always so helpful in helping us find exactly what we need for a great stay. This was definitely a great stay. Can’t wait to get back to the beach.

Lovely Locale ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved our stay on Fort Walton Beach. The unit was clean and easily accessible. The beach was even better. Our views were unobstructed, the neighborhood was quite and clean, and the on site pool was perfect for our kids when they didn't want to spend time on the beach any longer.

Return to the Emerald Coast ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a wonderful time visiting the Panhandle area for the first time in many years. Very nice amenity to have chairs and umbrella ready each morning. The attendants were super friendly and helpful-- please pass that along to them. FWB is a good location to see many things in the Destin -to- Pensacola region. We got to see a lot. And the quiet time at the beach right there at Summerlin was great--relaxing and quiet. We'll definitely be in touch for future visits. ( Only rating below that was not 5 star-- kitchen needed some more bowls and silverware.)

William M. 05/19/2023


Gorgeous View ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Loved my experience and the view was spectacular. The condo was spotless, and the location was great! My only complaint would be that the unit needed furniture updating of Livingroom and dining tables and painting or revamping of the wood on bottom of sink and counter.

A Great Mid-Winter Retreat ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This location is perfect for me - close to everything but on a dead end, so not much traffic. The unit is high enough to see dolphins frolicking in the gulf. Because it is a corner unit, there are windows on the side wall, letting in much-welcomed light. The view out the patio doors is outstanding. Within a few hours of arriving, I could feel the peacefulness seeping into my bones. I noticed very little sound from the unit above. The owner was very responsive to a question I had. I would return in a heartbeat!

Crystal L. 03/17/2021


Fantastic views! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The location is wonderful with fantastic views. Upon arrival everything seemed very clean. All appliances were in great condition and worked properly. Cookware and dishes were good. The woodwork and a few other pieces of furniture in the condo could use painting updates. Master bedroom carpet looked stained in walkway but seemed to be clean. The deck is wonderful, nice furniture. The views from this condo is like no other!

A guest 02/17/2022


Wonderful Getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our family had a magical week in the Summer 401 rental. the unit was clean and very spacious for our family. We had everything we needed in the unit to cook meals. We were able to extend our stay by one night which made it very nice and the property manager was very accommodating in setting this up for us. The only compliant would be the dishwasher wasn't level and every time you had the top full or the bottom full the whole unit would fall forward and the baskets would come sliding out.

Megan H. 07/27/2021


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.

A guest 06/15/2021

Great get away! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was a short planed vacation get away.
Summerlin 401 I had a fantastic view of the beach and Gulf of Mexico.
The location is absolutely perfect if you are looking for a laid back vacation or get away.
Summerlin 401 was in a perfect location. Not far from anything you want or need.
The staff at Sugar Sands is all you could ever ask for in a rental property. Quick to respond in every way.
The property is in a smaller condo which is great if you aren’t looking for a crowded group and beach.
The beach service was great. Grab your spot in the morning and you are good until you are ready to call it a day on the beach. If you want to hold a spot just get with the beach service person and you will be set all day.
The condo is a good size and had everything we needed for our stay.
Great place to stay!

David W. 09/06/2021


Perfection ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My bestfriend of 39 years and I decided to surprise 6 of our 8 kids (oldest 2 already had other plans) and selected this unit on the beach. Everything was clean and super nice making this a very memorable getaway for all despite the fact we could only get together for 2 days. We had everything we needed accessible and the entire reservation, check in and check out processes were very efficient. We will hopefully be staying here again in the future! Thank you for helping make our vacation perfect!

I went to visit my son who is in the Navy. I really enjoyed the property. It’s access to the beach was perfect. The view of the beach was perfect. The size of the condo was perfect. Already planning my next trip

Will stay again! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We really had a great time and will stay again. The management rep was very helpful and the rental unit was clean and well equipped. You can't beat the location!

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.

A guest 04/24/2023


Great condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great condo, beautiful views, clean, only steps to the beach.

Lauren S. 04/25/2023


Simply amazing! The view is breathtaking and the condo is superb! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We booked this condo for my husband and I and our 4 kids and we never wanted to leave! The view is absolutely stunning you can see ocean for miles on the HUGE balcony. They have nice patio sets that my kids loved to eat breakfast on and watch the ocean. CLEAN beach. The location is perfect not touristy but definitely tons to do. Great food and shopping. The condo was very clean and spacious with all the little extra things to make your stay more homey they even have beach toys for the kids! Bedrooms and bathrooms were plenty big for all of us. It is very well kept and updated. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is! Communication with renters was a breeze they were kind and helpful even with last minute requests made on our end they did everything they could to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

Very Comfortable with Great Access to the Beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo has a huge kitchen with a large island. The kitchen is well stocked - even items to perform baking, if one chooses to do so. The access to the parking area, pool and beach was so convenient, that I didn't have to use my portable wagon to transport items. From the condo, I was able to easily monitor the activities of the 3 teens that were on vacation with me, as I had a view of the beach and pool from the spacious outdoor porch area. Grocery and convenient stores are very close; along with a great variety of restaurants. Beverly, from the rental management team, was fantastic to work with me through a few issues that were due to the current pandemic concerns. I will definitely be returning to this rental.

Jody P. 06/02/2020


Awesome Experience! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Condo was very nice. Better than described. Sugar Sands Management personnel was great! The condo had everything we needed plus. It was spotless. We couldn't have asked for a better view. The grounds were impeccably maintained.

Great stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This property was very nice. Perfect for the 5 of us. Close to the beach with no crowds. I was pleasantly surprised with the updated bedding. Condo has everything we needed. Beautiful balcony view.

Kerry S. 07/29/2020


Wonderful vacation condo ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This rental was very clean when we arrived. It was large enough for the five of us. We ate all our meals in and the kitchen was well equipped. We loved the beach view from our balcony and the beach was not too crowded. We never had trouble getting chair and umbrella, which is included. The management company checked on us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again. The west end is quieter than the east part of the island, which we liked.

Carolyn G. 08/05/2020

Destin stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Our stay in the Destin condo was very nice. The apartment was very clean & comfortable. The pool & beach access were beautiful. The elevator worked well & because it was a smaller condominium, it was not overrun with people. All in all it was almost perfect!

Sharon S. 07/04/2021


Review of 304 Sterling Sands ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Everything was fine, the condo we stayed in just needs some painting. Other than that, the condo was perfect, very nice and clean.

Great condo to stay at ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was great. We loved the security of the condo. The convience of the ocean was great. We loved having complimentary chair and umbrella service throughout the week was wonderful. Everything about our vacation was fantastic. If we come back to Destin, we will stay at Sterling Sands.

Andrew K. 04/03/2023


Wonderful stay. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved staying at 304! It was lovely and very comfortable. The style was perfect for us! Our only suggestion was our door was painted and we couldn’t see out of peep hole and there wasn’t a way to lock the condo from the inside. Just a safety concern. Other than that this condo was amazing and we would stay again.

Brit B. 05/26/2023

Steps from the beach, it was great! Super convenient to be able to walk to and from the beach whenever you want! The shower head was a little wonky, but it wasn’t bad. Wish the TVs were smart TVs a we could have watched Netflix, but overall great bang for your buck. We would stay again.

Sweet and Simple ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Small unit was perfect for our 3 person family! Basically right on the beach, just an extremely short walk and your toes are in the sand! Overall the unit was clean and came with the basic components for a week vacation on the beach! My only small complaint, no toaster! Silly yes, but we often have toast or bagels for breakfast and "broil" on the oven didnt cut it. Also no stopper for the bath tub. Our daughter still takes baths rather than showers.

A guest 03/15/2020


Fun in the Sun ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Room 114 was an excellent location. The Tropical Isle is a hidden gem. We will return.

Clean, great location and affordable!!! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was our second family vacation to this property and we loved it both time!!..Great location, clean and accessible to lots of other attractions in the area...Literally about 50 feet from the beach!! We are definitely making this our prime family vacation spot.

***Charles W. 10/15/2020


Great Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We enjoyed the condo with the convenient keyless entry and the laundromat on the premises. We liked the kitchen very much and the televisions both worked very well. The bed was a little too hard, but it was good that it was a king size. It's just a short 40 second walk to the beach, which is a great convenience.

This was the best week ever! The weather was perfect all week. The condo was perfect for just me and my son. The room was clean, the bed slept comfortably. The location is perfect with a convenient store right next door. Doesn't get much better than that! The staff at Sugar Sands Rentals are all very pleasant and helpful. Beverly always goes out of her way to make sure that her customers are taken care of.

***Myles B. 07/13/2022


Awesome Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great Location! Steps from the beach. Great having a convenience store beside the parking lot. I have been coming to this area for years and this is by far been my favorite rental due to location and convenience. Perfect 1st floor so I can store my fishing tackle without having to go thru elevators, parking decks, etc. Also nice to have vehicle within in sight (right at your door) in case you need something. Very pleased with this place, and I look forward to coming back!!

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.

Tabatha M. 10/26/2021


Wonderful ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We love this cute studio unit. Perfect for a couple getaway. Very clean, beach access just outside our door, short walk to Tom Thumb store, quiet, not busy (despite mid July vacation rush)

It was a very nice place to get away

***Eleanor C. 07/03/2021

The location was perfect. The beach is literally steps away. It's a small space, but it's perfect for a long weekend getaway for a couple. We will be back.

***Jennifer R. 10/14/2021


December 13-17 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Studio was just how described. Didn't realize it came with a murphy bed. Never slept in one but it was quite comfortable. Very quiet older neighborhood and steps to the beach. Staff and housekeeping went above and beyond as to drive me to a restaurant and went to pick up sundries I forgot at Publix.
There really isn't much amenities within walking distance. Which was perfect for me. However, if you wish to do a bit of exploring, eating out and seeing the sights, highly recommend a rental unless you want to spend money on Uber.
With my previous experiences with vacation rental by owner sites, my family found leftovers from previous renters. Such things as beach towels, water toys. Most importantly condiments,spices etc. And even on occasion a bottle of vodka on the freezer! However, with covid, the place was wiped clean. So those of you who plan on doing any cooking or snacking, be prepared to go shopping. Also, there were no beach towels which I bought from the convince store.

A guest 01/02/2022


FL stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Overall place was great, had unit for two weeks. Things I'd like changed/updated - THAT couch has got to go!! Rolling bar cart would be great for food prep area (very little counter area) Floor lamp would be nice addition. Where I live at night it is DARK so pole light in parking lot shining thru blinds was bothersome so bought black sheet to cover window so maybe some kind of shade that could be drawn. Shower could use LOT more pressure. Things I like - SO CLOSE TO BEACH!! Murphy bed was comfortable and by having it really opened up floor space. Well within walking distance to some great places to eat. Had an issue with heat first night so management sent space heaters right away. Other guests were friendly. Unit is on ground floor and beach side so really quiet at night. All in all a great place to spend time out of wintery Illinois. I'll be back!

A guest 03/07/2022


Perfect spot for my solo vacation! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This little condo was absolutely what I was looking for on my week-long beach solo getaway! Just a couple minutes from the water, I could walk in for a snack or refresh my drink, not worry about leaving my things on the beach. There are so many things to do in the area - I had a blast! Property was very clean and quiet while I was there; a mixture of couples and small families during my stay. It was never noisy at night. I'd go again!

***Heather S. 10/01/2020


Cute, clean place just steps from beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Loved this quiet, clean studio where I could walk right across the street to the beach. WiFi was good so I could easily work as well. Small gas station/convenience store next door and lots of places to eat within just a few miles.
The fees made the place more expensive than first shown on AirBNB but still worth it.

***Sarah S. 03/27/2021

Great Location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Location was great for the Conference my daughter and I went too.
The room was very clean. There was enough towels for the bathroom. The Wifi kepted going in and out. That wasn't a big deal, we were too exhusted from our busy day any ways. The bed was on the stiff side, not too terrible. The beach is steps away which was a plus as well.

***Jason S. 07/31/2022


Great Time ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

It was a cute little condo that was just steps from the beach. We enjoyed our time there. It was right next door to a thom thumb store. If I had anything that I was unsatisfied with it would be there wasn’t any coffee to go along with pot. I understand you don’t want people to steal it but maybe one filter would be nice. Overall it was great.

***Lee Ann M. 11/30/2022


Great location, very clean ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Will definitely stay here again

***Kathleen L. 07/23/2021


Would definitely use again in the future! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This was an adorable little condo it a great location! Steps from the beach and the convenience store right next door was a life saver! Everything was nearby too, in mileage, not far at all, but oh my goodness the traffic there is nuts! We already started talking about what we would do when we went back :)

The wicker furniture reminded me of Golden Girls!! Loved it!

My ONLY suggestion is to put curtains in the bedroom. That porch light on the balcony makes it hard to go to sleep. Then the sun wakes you up when it comes up.

I would definitely recommend & stay here again! :)

Loved this place!! So cute, perfect for us. Had myself, adult daughter and 2 year old grand daughter. perfectly placed between 2 larger hotels, so our beach setting was almost private. Little balcony was very private, we spent alot of time there when it rained and in between beach trips!! Never went to Grocery store beside, but other places are very close.

***Stephanie C. 10/01/2020


Literally steps from the beach! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We found the unit to be very clean and convenient to one of the prettiest beaches ever! We were contacted before we arrived to make sure we had the welcome pack. I appreciated that communication. Next door to a small convenience store (perfect for a quick cup of coffee before your walk on the beach)

The perfect beach getaway! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This place was perfect for two adults and four children. The laundry facilities onsite made it great to do three loads at once and saved us a ton of time. The pool was a nice, quiet place to enjoy reading a book or taking a dip in the pool. The condo had beach chairs, boogie boards and other beach toys for us to use. The kitchen has everything you need for the week if you chose to cook there. We had an amazing time, the location is great.

Beautiful beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Property was clean, enjoyed our stay, The only problem was the master shower isn't user friendly. A couple of nights people long after midnight. Not extremely loud, but enough to hear through the walls and vibrating sound. But it was clean, and we enjoyed our stay. It was first time there and would go back.

Tropical Isle #207 - Amazing Stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This experience was wonderful! Showed up to a unit that was just as nice as in the photos. The unit was very clean! The upstairs loft was a hit with our two children and our king sized bed was comfy and easy to get a good night's rest. The balcony is set right in line with the walkway to the beach, so we had a great view. It's about a hundred yard walk to the water, maybe sixty yards to the sand. We will try and stay in this unit for every future beach trip. We love Okaloosa Island!

Thank you to all of the staff with Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals who made this such a wonderful Spring Break.

Tropical Isle #207 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This is the second time we have stayed in this unit, and we just love it! Considering the roomy layout, the fully equipped kitchen, and the 30 second walk to the beach - it is a GREAT deal! The unit was very clean when we arrived. It is very roomy and could house a family with several kids comfortably. We loved the loft area, although the steps up to it can be a little daunting. The 2 full bathrooms are adequate.

What I love best about this unit is that it literally takes less than a minute to walk to the beach, even though it's not right ON the beach. We love having lots of space and being so close to the beach. I also really appreciate having a fully equipped kitchen, even though we didn't really cook. We used the kitchen to warm up leftovers, and store our take-out. If you want to cook though, there are plenty of pots/pans. You'd just to bring foil, spices, and whatever food to cook. There is a Tom Thumb right next door where we got coffee and snacks. Would definitely stay here again!

Good, but needs attention ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

You do hear traffic noise from Santa Rosa Blvd in LR and some in loft. Bring sml and med plates and tablespoons. The door to the closet in Mbr was so hard to open that we thought it was locked. Turn counter clock wise hard and it will open. Hot and cold water tub faucets in loft bathroom are reversed. Noise is shared between loft, lr, and kitchen and DR. DR table is sml. Tub drain in loft is slow. Overall livable.

Such an amazing time! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We checked in to our condo to find it was very clean and accommodating. The condo had all the things we would need for our stay from linens to cookware and spacious areas to rest in. We have booked with Russ from Sugar Sands many times over the years and have always had the best experience. He has always went above and beyond to find us exactly what we needed for our vacations to Fort Walton beach. The condo is only a few steps from the sandy beach and a few steps to a convenient store for those extra snacks we may need to pickup. A clean pool onsite with a shower to wash off in when we leave the beach. Overall you can’t go wrong using Sugar Sands for your vacation rental!

We arrived to a clean and comfortable condo. View from the bedroom balcony was nice. Very easy close walk right out the back to the beach. We had everything we needed, including lots of towels. The spiral staircase may be hard for some, but our kids loved having their own space and bathroom upstairs. We just kept their clothes in our room to change. No need to take luggage upstairs. All in all, this place is clean, convenient, and has a great beach vibe. My family had a great time.

Tropical isle 108 a beautiful place to vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This unit was newly remodeled with updated flooring and a kitchen appliances. Brand new pots and pans and any utensils you could possibly to cook. 2 coffee makers 1 regular pot and 1 kcup. Huge 65-70 inch tv with a sound bar system. The beach access is literally right in front of the back door. For the price you absolutely couldn’t beat it. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner as he was in the town and wanted to make sure I didn’t need anything this gentleman takes extreme pride in his units and it certainly shows!!! 10/10 recommend and will be back!!!

short weekend getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

absolutely blown away by this Condo. WE love Tropical
Isle because of the proximity to Beach and Tom Thumb store. WE come to the island to be on the beach. Not eat seafood and drink in local bars. Nothing wrong with those things if thats your vibe. We are beach heads. Only need the Beach. Dont need to pay for amenities we arent going to use. That being Said this Condo was Amazing has everything you need. Great little Gem. Only wish i wouldve found sooner. and Sugar Sands Rental staff is always amazing

GREAT PLACE ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Great place. Loved how close to beach. Well stocked kitchen had everything thing we needed to cook up fresh seafood. Bed was super comfortable as was couch. I live where it is DARK at night so light filtering in was different. Had quite a bit of noise from upstairs guest but not 108s fault. Close to good food and market

The best stay in a rental ever !! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Very clean very updated condo easy access close to the beach and very relaxing!

Carl C. 07/16/2021


Perfect Place for a Couple ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was very comfortable and updated. Nice furniture!! Great location within walking distance to the beach, seriously steps away. There was not a vacuum and it gets really sandy quick. There is an outdoor shower/hose at the pool area to rinse off the sand before coming in, glad we figured that out. I think it would be nice to have curtains on the bedroom windows/door to keep the sun out if you want to sleep in. Closet had sand toys, floats, noodles, and chairs which was a nice addition. Perfect condo for a couple...with one bathroom it would be a little harder to have added guests. Roomy! Little store next door for grocery items and ice. Bring dish soap and sponge unless you want to use the dishwasher the whole time. Will return when visiting the area! Sugar Sands was a great company to rent through! Highly recommend!!!!

Tropical isle Stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The rental unit was great and very clean. We liked how close we were to the beach and the price was good too. We had stayed at another unit the year before, this one was much better. The rental people were really great also.

Michael C. 03/29/2022


Wonderful getaway ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

108 offered my wife and me exactly what we were looking for at a price we budgeted. Only seconds to the beach and mere minutes to great restaurants. The staff at silver sands took care of a difficult situation in another unit and transferred us to 108 and oh what a treat it was.thanks guys we will return.

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.

Demetrius T. 07/14/2020


Amazing view ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Absolutely loved the room and loved the location, away from everything. My girls loved the bunk beds too. We spent more time on the balcony than we did in the room because it was such a great view and the beach wasnt crowded at all. We will definitely be coming back! We mainly went to Destin because that’s where all our favorite restaurants are and stores. Next time we’ll explore the area more.

Splended and we will be back! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We arrived at our adorable condo at night. We were pleased with everything about it! First morning we woke up looking at a gorgious sunrise perfect view looking toward destin. We were a nice even distance with the beach to our rught and lazy river to our left. Next to the gulf side was Ricks on the Islad just over the waling bridge with amazing drinks, pizza, and bar tender. We spent most of our tine on the powder white beavhes and enjoyed the complamentry umbrellas and chairs. Rockin borrito is also close, on the beach and tasty. For all of you coffee drinkers a coffee maker was provided in the room along with dishes, cups ect.. We met the condo property manager who was also extremely friendly. We did not want to return home we had such a wonderful time at Tina's condo with sugar sandals. We hipe to book the same exact condo next time!

** Dusty M. 10/20/2021


Wonderful Place ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Destin West Villa and the beautiful beach it has. The atmosphere was pleasant with staff being helpful on everything. The parking is right on property with a covered multi-level garage so one can unload right on the level you are staying. The gulf side has two pools, and one of them is heated. It also has a hot tub and all the pools were clean and well maintained. The units were clean and well stocked with a Publix just a 4 minute drive from the property. The staff constantly called to make sure there were no problems and there were not. There was a queen bed and pull out sofa bed if needed. Off the patio we could see the Gulf and the dunes and if that wasn't enough, one could use the overhead walkway to get to the bay side of the complex without trying to cross the busy street below. That part of the property had its own pool and a lazy river where one could tube ride around the pool. The bay side also has a dock where you could fish. On both sides have many restaurants and shops. We ate at Ricks on the bay side and the food was good and fresh. There is live music on the weekends too. There is a boardwalk and a mini golf/go-carts and arcade within walking distance but it is the sand on the beach that keeps one there. The staff provide two beach chairs with an umbrella for your stay with them. There is an aquarium down the street you can walk to and see the dolphins and turtles which is worth going to. Also chartered a fishing trip with Snoops and even though the water had 3-5 feet swells had fun pulling in Snapper and Trigger fish. We will stay here again for sure.

Definitely would return. Maintenance was outstanding. Very clean. Loved the options of being able to pool hop, enjoy the lazy river or be on the sand.

***Venecia A. 06/02/2022


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.

Great, close to everything food, the beach shopping.

A guest 05/26/2020


View was a little deceiving from the listing. ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This property is dated and my room was very dated but you get what you pay for. I think it was worth the money spent. I would not pretend that it was top of the line but it was fun and would be great for kids.

Just what we needed! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We loved being close to the beach and having the chair and umbrella service included. The villa was very clean and just the right size for the two of us. The overall property was very clean and maintained well. We liked the convenience of the parking garage so close to our villa.

Beach vacation ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We stayed in a villa on the gulf side on the fifth floor. Had a view of the gulf and the bay from the balcony. Walking didistance to the board walk and gulfarium. Liked that 2 beach chairs and an umbrella were included when at the beach (the company that runs the service operates from 9-5). The weather was cooler on our stay so having heated pools was great, there was one by the villa and one across the bridge by the lazy river. Lazy river is not heated, but there are 2 hot tubs. The beach was maybe a 2 min walk from our room, so very convenient. There are restrooms on the first level. The parking garage has 6 levels each with a walkway to the respective floor of the villa. We would recommend staying here and would stay again.

A guest 03/30/2024


Loved it ! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

Perfect vacation spot! Loved the resort!!! Lots of pools and activities you will never be bored. The beach is beyond beautiful!!!

Allison A. 08/12/2023


Good Experience ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The villa was fairly comfortable. Everything was very clean but the floor of the shower was iffy. It looks as if it could use an upgrade. The view was fine, but the road noise kept us from enjoying the balcony. Overall, we were satisfied.

Larry M. 08/22/2023


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!

Wonderful Experience ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

In my opinion this property is in the IDEAL location to enjoy the Destin/Ft Walton beach area. Close enough to enjoy all the touristy things, while being secluded enough to wind down and relax. Will look to stay here again in the future.

Great little place ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

My wife and I stayed November 12-27 we had a great time the condo is in a great location to view the gulf and the bay from the balcony. It is in walking distance from the pier and boardwalk you have many pools to choose from and the white sand beaches were nicely groomed. The condo is exactly what we expected, perfect for a couple wanting to relax. We will definitely come back again next year..

Bryan G. 11/29/2022


Adorable condo with great location ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

This condo was perfect for my husband, me and our son. We did visit during the winter so we're unable to use some of the amenities like the lazy river, but will definitely revisit in the warmer months. Would definitely recommend this place for a couple or a couple with small children.

***Lesa W. 01/21/2023


Good time at the beach ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a really good time at this location. The property was clean and comfortable. It could use some updating. The condo is very convenient to the parking garage. The balcony is very noisy from the traffic so we did not spend much time outside, which is too bad. We had a problem with the balcony door not closing, so I called the manager and they sent someone to fix it right away. The included beach chairs and umbrella was very nice. The beach was beautiful. We saw a lot of dolphins. The food at Ricks on the Island was very good. Also Anglers at the end of the pier was very good. Destin is a short drive away, and was fun to walk the boardwalk.

Doug D. 05/23/2023


Fantastic stay ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

I needed a place pretty last minute and they did not disappoint. I’ve stayed here before and have nothing but good things to say. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.

Destin Beach trip 2021 ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

The condo was very nice. The resort had lots of pool access as well as a hot tub and lazy river. It was a short walk to a private beach for the resort residents.

***Melody C. 05/05/2021


Wonderful Stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

What a great experience! The property was admittedly showing its age, but it was very clean and filled with great amenities, including a full kitchen with a large fridge and other goodies like a washer/dryer combo that we used to wash clothes, beach towels, and other stuff. We were able to make lunch and cook dinner in the room most days, which saved a ton of money. There is great proximity to shopping from the property, including a Publix grocery store and a Wal Mart. On site amenities are great too! Several onsite pools, a lazy river, and great proximity to the beach are all there. Beach amenities are great. Some beach amenities are free, others are reasonably priced, just be sure to wear your arm bands when you are out. Restaurants abound in the area, there is a nearby aquarium, and the Air Force's Armament Museum (which we visited) is at nearby Eglin AFB. If we get the chance, we're going back!

Very enjoyable stay! ☆☆☆☆☆★★★★★

We had a great stay! The resort feels large and spread out, not crowded at all, even during a busy week like spring break when we were there. We enjoyed having both the beach and bay access (our son really liked fishing on the bay side). All of the resort amenities were great. The resort is conveniently located near both Okaloosa and Destin attractions. My only recommendation for the villa itself would be to have it deep cleaned and add a vacuum to the unit. My son said the pull out bed was very hard and not comfortable. Overall, we were satisfied with our accommodation’s. I would definitely recommend the resort and we will be back!
