The third bedroom has a bunk bend with a trundle bed and a twin bed all in one room. Perfect for kids, and we even had 3 adults sleeping there...use of the trundle bed would have been pretty tight!A fantastic spot and a great stay, even if you cram every bed!

WONDERFUL place, it has everything you want or need for your stay in Florida. It's a great place to stay with children, younger or older. It is so convenient to the ocean or the bay! And the owners are very kind and were so helpful with our extremely late check in. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends, especially ones with large families! It was such a blessing to be here!

Our stay at sugarshack was amazing!! The home has everything you need and then some. It is beautifully decorated and the location is perfect. We were steps from the beach and the bay. We had a wonderful time inside and outside of the home with so many areas to hangout and relax. We will definitely be back to this wonderful home!!

We had a fantastic stay and would absolutely return. The location is the standout — roughly 100 steps to the water, which puts it closer to the beach than most beach locations we've stayed. The house was stocked with everything you need for a beach day: boogie boards, kayaks, paddle boards, chairs, and wagons to haul it all down. Food options nearby made logistics easy. The hosts were responsive throughout and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend for families. A

The Gem of the Island

The Sugar Shack is the absolute best rental on the island. They think of everything you could possibly need and supply it for you. From chairs to relax in to paddle boards. We will be staying again for sure.
