Pleasure to work with Sugar Sands rentals

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 have booked with Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals many times over the years. Always a pleasure to work with. We were approved for an early check in time. Not sure if a party checked out on the day we checked in but a big thank you to house keeping for having the condo ready for our stay.

Perfect location

This condo was the perfect location to enjoy the beach, pool and local amenities! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils and the beds were comfy. The pools were clean and we had plenty to choose from! The kids loved the lazy river. Complimentary beach chairs were included with this condo, and additional beach chairs were available on the lanai. The condo could use a little renovating here and there- but nothing that effects the over all stay- Condo was very clean and tidy. We’d recommend this condo to everyone.

Great room.

We really enjoyed our stay. This is our 21st year staying at the Destin Westin. This has been my favorite condo so far. The only downside was losing power multiple times and the loss of television many times for long periods of time. At one point we lost for over 24 hours

Spring Break/Dance competition

We really enjoyed ourselves and would love to have the same unit in the future. The owners left everything you can think for convenience. There was plenty of towels for showers and extra blankets and linens. The kitchen was fully stocked. There was even water toys and floats. It was so convenient to walk right out to the pool. It was so nice and big! The sunsets were just beautiful. The boardwalk to the beach was so close. We also went to the bayside to get in the lazy river. The pools are nice over there as well. Overall Amazing trip!

Fort Walton Beach condo

The office management folks are terrific at Destin West(Thanks, Jodie!). The location to the beach is perfect. We were in a pool-side unit, but we were disappointed that the pool in front of our unit wasn't heated. We were also disappointed in that many activities in the area were closed until April or May. This is not a place to be January-February. The furnishings in this unit were awful- very worn, uncomfortable, and dated. The bunk beds are like a cot. Only a young child could sleep comfortably on it. We would not recommend this unit unless it was brought up to a quality one would expect for that price.

Great Location!

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: 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.

Frustrated

Before I booked this condo, I called to make sure the pool just outside the patio would be heated. The lady I talked to said it would be heated through march - we were going for spring break, so you can never count on warm weather. This pool was like ice water! The entire stay! There was a warm pool on site and more on the bay side, but I specifically booked this counting on the big pool being heated. Disappointed! The pullout couch was Awful!! All you could feel were the bars.. we called the office after the first night and they said a new couch was coming. They brought a twin inflatable mattress - which was great. But now we have a mattress for the 6 of us to get around in a small condo. Again Disappointed. The urine ring around the base of the toiled was unacceptable & so were the boogies that I had to wipe from the bathroom door frame. Bottom line - my booking counted on the heated pool. I would’ve booked bay side or at another property had I not been Assured it was heated. Hopefully the new couch comes before anyone else books this condo

Great family trip!

We loved our stay here. The kitchen had everything we need, the beds were comfortable, and the place was super clean. What sold us with this place was level ground, right at the pool, and easy access to the beach. They had some beach toys and chairs for us to use also, so we didn’t have to bring anything but beach towels and our cooler down there. We even had the master bathroom faucet break on us and they sent maintenance immediately to replace it. The location was great and we felt safe the whole time. It was a great trip! We will definitely be back. Thanks for the memories we created

We loved it

We enjoy this condo so much that we are planning on coming again next year. It was so convenient that the pool was right outside your back door. The beach was so close. It was so nice that the pool and your patio was just a gate away. We would just roll the wagon onto the patio and just leave all the stuff there, there was no need for sand to come in the condo by dragging your wagon in. We kept all the sand toys outside. They had chairs on the beach for you, however, they are only there from 9 to 5. But the condo had chairs that you could use, which was amazing. They also had boogie boards and sand toys. Which we brought our own so we didn’t need to use them. They had games in the condo that you could play . It was well stocked with dishes, pots pans, silverware, and utensils nothing was outdated or rusted like I’ve seen other condos. Everything was very clean.we will definitely stay there again.
