Annette S. from Elkhart, IN US recommends this vacation rental.
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.

A guest from ELLIJAY, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
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.

Liliana S. from Harvest, AL United States recommends this vacation rental.
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.

Candice A. from Murfreesboro, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
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!

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.
Manager Responded on 3/15/2021
Thank you for booking with us. We are sorry you had so much good weather. But Destin can keep you busy. Hope to see you next year and maybe with a larger unit. Thanks again, Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

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!

DERRICK J. from THOMPSON STATION, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
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.

It was great to have you back again. DWG 105 is very convenient being on the ground level. Especially with grandkids. See you in the fall. Nice and cool then. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

We loved the location and amenities! Only complaint was that the heated pools were a bit chilly. They said they were set for 85 degrees, but even the worker there said that they did not feel that warm, more like 70 to 75 degrees.

A guest from St. Louis, Missouri United States recommends this vacation rental.
This condo was as pictured and felt bigger than expected (compared to previous rental at another location in Destin). The rental company was easy to work with and responded promptly to any questions regarding reservation. There were a couple minor issues that I emailed about so they would be aware on our arrival and the company sent someone the next day (on a Sunday) to take care of them. The patio was also larger than expected. Missed having an ocean view, but we obviously knew that when we rented. No ocean view from pool either - dunes in way. Easy access to pool (but was a little too cool during our first week of Oct. stay). Did use the hot tub - which they drain and refill daily, and the heated pool at the Ramada. Also able to use the splash pad on Ramada property. The lazy river and pools on the Bay side are very nice and has view of the bay. Easy access to the beach and appreciated the beach service that came with condo. Love ground floor for ease of coming and going with little ones. Grills are close to unit too. A few restaurants are in walking distance and have a beach playground for kids if you have a wait. In case anyone would wonder this - you can fit a pack-n-play in the bunk bed area and still have room to walk through to get to the hall attached bathroom. 4 year old daughter loved the bunks and having her own TV in there.
All standard items available, but no closet of beach items or any extra things that other guests leave behind (like laundry detergent, salt/pepper etc.) so be sure to pack or buy those if stop before arriving. I was excited to see a box fan in bedroom closet as I use for the noise to fall asleep to.
We had a very nice stay and look forward to staying again. Great resort for families.

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.
