Clean condo-well equipped kitchen and plenty of hooks for hanging clothes, towels, etc and storage areas. They even have a bookshelf full of books to share! And the view is perfect!
Our family had a wonderful spring break here! The unit was exactly as seen in the pictures. The host was very responsive with all communication; we even received our welcome packet with all of our check in information weeks before our stay. We will definitely stay here again!
The room was very nice and very clean! Beach was beautiful as always! Our favorite vacation location!!!

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!

Thanks again, Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals
My family and I traveled to this condo for family vacation. The views of the beach were exquisite. Having the pool and the beach available was perfect for our younger family that would get too tired on the beach after a while.
