The room itself was great. Host was great. The issue is the condo itself. One of the elevators was broken the entire state. On cooler days, none of the pools are heated. The hallways looks like a prison. Parking is tight.Best thing is close beach access and the bar near the pool.

Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the room, the host communication, and the beach access and nearby amenities.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the building-wide issues such as the elevator, pool heating, and parking. These are managed by the HOA and are outside of our control, but we understand how they can impact a stay.
We appreciate you choosing us and hope to host you again in the future.
The beach view was beautiful. The room was very clean and organized to meet all of my needs. The instructions for getting check in and out were very clear. Will be booking again!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful beach view, found the room clean and well organized, and that check-in and check-out were smooth and easy.
We truly appreciate you staying with us and look forward to hosting you again soon!
Value for the location was great. Great beach access and pools. The bathroom sink was clogged and drained slowly. The bathroom vent fan was broke. The carbon monoxide detector was ancient. The garbage disposal was broken and when you run the dishwasher that side of the sink backs up and smell awful. Great location for the price.

Room was very clean, had everything you needed. Only negative I have for this room is it’s size. It states it sleeps 4. It does sleep 4. But if 4 people were up moving around at the same time, would be very crowded. There is nowhere to put your clothes, besides leaving them in a suitcase on the floor. Great room for 2 people.

Tonya, thank you for the feedback! WE always like to hear from our guests. This condo is actually advertised as an efficiency unit, so space is limited. Thank you for staying with us and if you need a bigger condo, we have many to choose from on our website! Check it out at
We enjoyed our stay at Sugar Beach, the bed was comfortable as well as the couch. We had no issues with the appliances. The amenities of the building were in good shape. They were working on remodeling during our stay. We were however disappointed in the cleanliness of our condo. The bathrooms were not properly cleaned, behind the toilet seat was dirty, the light fixture was dusty, as well as the fan in the bathroom. The light fixture and fan had lightbulbs to go out that were not replaced before our stay. The fridge had an odd smell as well as the room. Other than that we enjoyed our stay!

Last minute 3 night trip to the beach. Not many vacancies with short notice but I wish we’d paid the extra money for a nice condo. This particular one needed a thorough cleaning. Our socks were black after waking on floors. The sleeper sofa is very old and dirty. Has stains on cushions and on thin worn mattress. We only stayed 2 nights and headed home early because it just wasn’t comfortable. Pools were decent. Parking garage attendants were very nice. Good location.

Lack of air conditioning
Very poorly maintained unit (138). The first night there we decided to make frozen pizzas since we had been on the road the previous 2 days. Also decided to do a load of laundry. Here is where it all went down hill. The vent-a-hood vented into the inside of the unit, the dryer vented into the inside of the unit, on top of the air conditioner not blowing above a very low speed. At this time it was after 9pm, so there wasnt much anybody could do, so we did not contact the owner. The next morning I received a message from the owner asking if everything was ok. At this time I let them know about the a/c, and the next day was a hoilday. So again, nothing could be done until after the holiday. I at that time took matters in my own hands because the owner didn’t even offer a fan, I purchased a portable unit to keep us from having heart strokes. The heat index was over 100°. I do have pictures of the issues mentioned.

We regret the issues you had during your stay at Sugar Beach. This is certainly not the type of experience we want for our guests. We did maintain communication with you during this unfortunate incident and kept you updated on the technicians arrival. We hope for another opportunity to host you and provide you with a better experience.

This property is incredibly RUN DOWN. There are wires exposed ALL OVER, the balcony railing is made out of PVC PIPES and it is loose, broken and unsafe throughout. It rained, and the parking lot SEVERELY flooded. It was not passable. There are rusted pipes throughout the property, poor lighting, doors that literally do not have balconies and one can step out of and fall several stories. One pool was greenish, one pool was closed. The lighting throughout was weak and made the community look unsafe. This should be inspected by City Ordinance for LOTS of code violations. The unit itself HAD NO TOILET paper while other cleaning products were provided. The Dryer vent was a Woman's PANTYHOSE! It smelled like CONCENTRATED cigarette smoke. The bed was poorly made, the towels were OLD and everything was worn and in poor condition. The door lock was difficult to operate. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY TO ANYONE. I feel the City should inspect it for grounds of shutting it down!
The property itself wasn’t bad. The AC was not working properly so it was very uncomfortable, internet connection was terrible so I couldn’t watch TV or use my phone.

A lot of problems coffee pot broke, tv and internet would not work until 2nd day in then the service was terrible . Shower door was broke , elevator was broke until 5th day in . People were so loud and annoying, kept us up 3 nights in a row. Pools full of children The bed was horrible swished up against a closet , so I had to army crawl to the end of bed to get out . The washer sounded like a jet plan taking off , the dryer had no vent and using a women’s panty house to catch lint and stuff , absolutely fa fire hazard! The fire extinguisher was in the hot water heater room, my husband over 6 ft couldn’t hardly reach it . I’ve never been so disappointed in a studio. One year anniversary trip for me and my husband was terrible. I am requesting 750 back for the inconvenience and crappy condo everything smelled like weed, not happy not satisfied. And 2 major safety violations, that need to be reported

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your stay did not meet expectations, however many of the issues you mentioned were addressed immediately during your visit, including replacing items such as the coffee pot and providing a backup TV in case it was needed.
We also met with you in person during your stay and checked in to ensure everything was resolved, at which time we were told there were no additional concerns.
Regarding building-wide amenities such as the elevator and pools, these are managed by the HOA and not the individual unit owner; we have confirmed with building management that the elevator is currently operational, and the property is up to code and has passed all required inspections. Dryer venting configurations are consistent with other units in the complex and have been reviewed for compliance.
We do want to note this is a family-friendly, budget-conscious complex, and there will be families and children present. We understand it may not be the right fit for every guest.
We strive to respond quickly and resolve any issues brought to our attention, which we did throughout your stay. At this time, we are unable to offer a refund. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future travels.
This was perfect for our family of 4. The room was a little bigger than expected. The property as a whole is older, but exceptionally clean. Parking is tight, especially in a bigger truck, but the security guards were always very helpful to guide me to an open spot. Loved it!

Misrepresentation of accommodations
We signed the contract on this unit based on the premise that a sofa bed was included. Upon check-in we discovered that the sofa bed was broken, and my 19 year old 6 ft tall son had to spend our entire vacation trying to sleep on a cramped sofa. This greatly affected the enjoyment of our vacation, as my son was unable to rest comfortably the entire trip! I feel this was a complete misrepresentation of the accommodations , and will be pursuing compensation based on this false advertising.
