The place was immaculately clean before our arrival. Sugar Sands is very proactive in providing you all important and relevant information ahead of time and even calling to make sure you are all set before your vacation. This is our second time staying in this unit and as usual it did not disappoint. Beds are comfortable, kids loved the bunk beds and their own bathroom. Great View from the Balcony of the beach, spent every morning on the balcony drinking coffee and watching the view. The location is amazing an includes so many amenities including beach service with Chairs and Umbrella, so many pools and hotubs and a convenient sky bridge across the highway to the Lazy River on the other side of the resort. This place has so many positives we'll be back year after year!!! A for Sugar Sands and A for this unit.

Wonderful Location for Beach and Pool Lovers

Wonderful stay. Only complaint was the beds were too soft for us and that's a personal preference. Otherwise, great views of the beach and pool.

Paradise

The condo was clean and exactly as described. It was nice to have the early check in option. Location was perfect! Around the corner was the elevator with easy pool and beach access. The pools were clean and it was such a perk to have the beach chair service! We were there for a week and I cant wait to come back!

A Beautiful Place to Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved this place. We booked it for the month of Feb. It was so quiet and comfortable. The view of the ocean from our balcony was incredible! It was just a short walk to the beach, where we could see the sunrise or sunset almost every day. This unit also provided beach chairs and a beach umbrella ⛱️ for us to use. It was conveniently located near Destin and Fort Walton, where we could get groceries, go to a variety of restaurants and play pickleball. We met a lot of nice people on the Boardwalk which was just a short walk down the beach. The only thing I wish they had were some gas grills on the property. They only had charcoal grills, which seemed like a waste to only cook 2 burgers, chicken breasts or a steak. We took advantage of the hot tub and heated pool many of the nights. We loved this place so much that we booked it for next year!

The condo is in a great location. Very clean & the complimentary chairs/beach umbrella were very much appreciated & convenient. Condo is well stocked with all the comforts of home & is close to the boardwalk that has shopping & several restaurants. My family would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the Destin area again.

This was the perfect getaway for my daughter and myself! Unit was steps from the beach…the included beach chairs and umbrella sealed the deal. Lazy River was nice, and Destin was just a short drive down the road. We hope to stay again!

Nice cute condo!

We had a fun time staying on the beach. Our condo was cute, clean and conveniently located. We used the walk over to go fishing on the bayside and we could easily walk right out to the beach from the condo! We loved how close it was to the Boardwalk and we took advantage of the free beachside chair service :) Everything about the condo was great for our family .
