Stairs lead from the balcony directly to the beach where your two beach chairs and umbrella are set up for your each morning. You can add additional chairs from the beach service vendor or use chairs stored in our balcony closet.

18 Sugar Dunes is located on the top floor so it is quieter than the units on the bottom floors. No noisy neighbors upstairs! The newly renovated condo has cathedral ceilings that makes the condo feel more spacious.

Remember the sensation of your first trip to the beach? When you enter this unique property the stunning blues of the sky and the turquoise water combined with the white hues from the sugar-white sand stream through a wall of beach side windows to similarly become another 'happy place' memory—a place where you can truly relax and have a great time with family and friends.

Southeast of Disorder is a spectacularly remodeled top-floor condo with shiplap walls, custom cabinets, solid-surface counter tops and new appliances.

Venture east or west along 30A and you'll find 26 beach neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. Some architecture will remind you of exotic locations while others will cause you to start singing lyrics to a Jimmy Buffett song.

While here give your taste buds a vacation, too! Stop at Buddy's or Goatfeathers for fresh seafood to prepare in our well-equipped kitchen, or venture out to South Walton's amazing array of restaurants and eateries. Whether you crave prime cuts of steak and wine, burgers and hand-crafted beer, fresh fish, a warm grilled cheese sandwich, delicious pizza or freshly-made donuts, you'll find them all just a short distance away.

Beautiful spot!

We loved our stay! Can't beat the location right on the beach. Betty was great to work with before and during our vacation. The condo is lovely--so filled with light, beautiful views, and comfortable furnishings! Loved the beach chair service that set up reserved chairs and an umbrella for us each day. Thanks for sharing your special place, Betty!

Exceptional condo and location - listen to the surf all day

This property and the property owners are exceptional and friendly! The property is upscale with the view/location you are looking for to have the ideal beach trip. Plus, the kitchen is a cook's delight, seating to soak up the view is superb and upscale, bedding very comfortable, ample bathrooms, and a garage! Location is ideal as it's near Goatfeather's and Publix, yet out of the crowd. Beach is divine. Kayaking nearby too! The owners are a delight to work with and ensured our stay was just as we wanted.

Fabulous

We had the most absolutely fabulous time in this home last week! It was apparent the owners really love the place and spend a lot of time there. So many sweet thoughtful details at every turn! My boys adored the special bunks in the bunk bed room, my mother in law enjoyed the large guest bath, my husband loved reading on the loft bed and I adored the farm sink and drinking my coffee on the balcony every morning. We will definitely be returning in the future, such a wonderful place!

"Southeast of Disorder" was amazing! You can see the ocean from the time you walk in the front door. Betty was a pleasure to work with, very responsive to text during our stay. Betty checked in with us on the day we arrived to ensure everything was great. The condo was very clean and the attention to detail was amazing. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. Also, the beach access was right off the balcony. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful week with our family at the beach!

We greatly enjoyed staying in this condo for our family spring break. We live in Panama City Beach, but we love doing a "staycation" on 30a each year. Over the years we have stayed in 6 different properties and this is our favorite! Betty was very accommodating and we communicated via phone and text.. It was nice knowing that if we needed anything she was easily accessible. The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean! Perfect location and easy access to the beach! Loved having s garage to park in as well as access to beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys.

Our Favorite on 30A

This was our 2nd summer to stay at Southeast of Disorder! It was just as fabulous this summer! The beach views are amazing, as you walk in the front door you see the beautiful water and sugar white beaches! Betty and Dean have thought of everything! The beach decor and furnishings make you feel right at home and ready to have a relaxing beach vacation. Betty is very responsive to questions and one special detail is she checks on you on your arrival date to ensure everything is great. The condo is very clean and well taken care of. We look forward to our future trips!

Fabulous Find

My husband and I invited our two daughters and their husbands along with our 14 month old granddaughter AND my mother to vacation with us this summer. All four generations had a fantastic stay. Compliments to Betty and Dean for the beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The great weather and gorgeous water made our week perfect. I have been vacationing on 30A for many years and have stayed at Sugar Dunes before. This unit is by far my favorite accommodation. I really appreciate the hands-on approach in booking with the Hancock's. Every question I could think of was answered and Betty was available at all times. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Wonderful place for the entire family! Right on the beach and beautifully decorated!

August 16-23 Betty and Dean, Thank you for sharing your condo with our family this week. We had beautiful weather and loved it here so much that we rarely left the condo. All of the updated appliances, washer & dryer, and big open windows on the back made us never want to go home. We loved the direct access to the beach. It was perfect for our family with younger kids. I loved getting up early and sitting on the back deck with my coffee and listening to the ocean. The kids loved the bunk beds and club house in the front bedroom. Some highlights for the week were - watching dolphins swim up and down the coast, taking my 2 year old son into the ocean for the first time, and helping my brother get engaged!!! This week was full of fun and memories, Thank you again!!!

We found our "Happy Place"

This is our second year staying in Sugar Dunes 18 and we've already made our reservations again for next summer. We love this condo. It's beautiful, clean, well stocked, comfortable. The beach is literally just steps down from the balcony which is not only very convenient with kids, but we can also enjoy the beautiful view of the sunset, the dolphins, the white sand and the turquoise water right from the condo. Betty and Dean Hancock are wonderful to work with, so friendly, helpful and always available. It truly gives our vacation and even more personal touch getting to know the owners. We can't wait for next year...and the year after that.....Thank you Betty and Dean for this special get-away. It has become a very special place for our family to spend time just being together.

Beautiful Condo, GREAT owners, PERFECT LOCATION!!!

My family and I had the recent privilege of staying at Sugar Dunes 18. From the moment we booked our trip until the minute we left, everything went perfectly! Betty has a truly beautiful home and was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. She even checked on us the day we checked in! The house was so comfortable and clean and felt like home. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen. There was absolutely not ONE thing that we needed that Betty didn't already have! My daughter loved sitting at the bar while we cooked and loved drawing on the chalkboard! The views from the living room and the back porch were amazing. We spent so much time on the deck and loved curling up on the outdoor sectional every evening! All in all, this really is a wonderful home in a great location. We will absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to ANY of our friends and family!

PERFECTION

This immaculate, perfectly decorated, condo makes you say "ahhhhh" the second you walk through the front door. Restful colors, spacious/open great room & kitchen with the absolute best view of the beach, the lush beds, spa-like bathrooms, I could just go on and on... My favorite?! Starting each day curled up on the outdoor sofa, having coffee with my girlfriends, while watching the sun come up from the back patio!! Oh--and the cute little loft upstairs?! Do yourself a favor and call 'dibs' for that to be YOUR room so you can fall asleep to the sound of waves peacefully rolling onto the shore! I mean...This place is Heaven. on. Earth! Cannot wait to visit again!!

Sally B., Where do you live?

Welcome to Paradise

Stunning beachfront condo with vaulted ceilings could literally be the cover of Coastal Living magazine! We felt so pampered by the high-end decorator furnishings, gourmet kitchen, comfy bedding and beautiful teak flooring. The patio gives you an entire extra living area with a cozy sectional sofa perfect for cocktails, reading or sleeping to the sounds of the surf. We played lots of card games at night on the patio seated in swivel lifeguard chairs at the high-top picnic table. Walk down the private stairs from the patio right onto the beach--the last step is covered in sand! The beach service Betty recommended was fantastic--every morning when we woke up, Chris or Matt were already busy at work setting up the umbrellas and chairs on this private beach with super-soft sugary white sand. We will definitely return to this amazing condo. Thank you Betty and Dean for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Physician Ordered!!

Sugar Dunes was just what the doctor ordered!! 4 busy women getting away from it all! The condo is spacious, comfortable and private. Several of our friends have reserved the place for their families in 2015 because of our excited chatter about condo and its location. The decor encourages relaxation. The owners obviously like to cook and entertain. The kitchen is well appointed. Any cooking or serving utensil that you might have at home is available...a real plus with rental property. Appliances and ice maker are pristine and operate at full capacity. The area is great for bicycle riding. A lake just to the west of the condo looks like it would provide fun for small children and a great spot to learn how to paddle board before graduating to the ocean. I hope to return many more times!! The condo lists three bedrooms and a loft. I consider the loft to be a fourth bedroom. It is private with a Queen bed. All of the rooms are very comfortable.

Can’t beat it!

Everything was fantastic!! Betty is amazing with communication, and she goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are happy. Not all renters were as flexible during this time, and we Betty was flexible while taking full COVID-19 precautions. The condo it clean, beautiful, and amazing. You can’t beat the views and ease of walking down to the beach, chairs set up for you, plenty of beach items to use, and being able to go back and forth so easy. We have stayed at other places where you had to take your stuff down daily, find restrooms etc. You won’t have to worry about that here, and the beach is private so there aren’t canopies all over or crowds of people. We rented bikes and it was fun and easy to bike to Seaside or other areas. If you have any issues, Betty is a phone call or text away and replies quickly. We didn’t have issues, but one ceiling fan didn’t work, and she had it replaced within a day. That’s the service she provides and it was appreciated. This was the best unit we have ever stayed at and would gladly stay here again!! If you want a family perfect 30A condo, this is an amazing one.

You won't regret it!!!

This was our 5th time staying on 30A and by far our favorite condo we've stayed in! Betty & Dean are amazing hosts and communication was amazing. We had some storms roll through and she checked on us to make sure we were ok and to let us know that she had already reported the power outage and wanted to make sure we didn't need anything else. This condo is immaculate and is just as you see in the pictures, if not better! We had our 25 yr old son, 16 yr old daughter, and our 4 yr old niece and were more than comfortable, and loved that everyone had their own bathroom! Our niece loved being able to use all the beach toys that were available in the closet on the balcony, and we didn't have to buy ANY beach toys or accessories. The beds were all super comfortable, and we loved playing games at the round dining table. Having a garage to actually park in and shut the door to keep our car clean and secure was also a huge plus! They have everything you could possibly need and want from a luggage cart in the garage to bring all your gear up on the elevator, to anything you could need in the kitchen, and of course those beach items! The Beach was NEVER overcrowded and amazing, and only a short 5 minute walk to the Eastern Lake that flows into the gulf. You are centrally located in the middle of everything being in between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Just moments from all the great restaurants and shopping, and Publix! As the title says, You won't regret this stay! Book it!

A Perfect Vacation!

Our week at "Sugar Dunes 18 Southeast of Disorder" was perfect! The condo was as nice, if not better than it appears in the photos. The view is amazing, the condo is very comfortable, clean, beautiful and well stocked with everything needed from the kitchen to the chairs/umbrella for the beach. My sister and our spouses arrived with our 5 kids, including both teenagers as well as my sister's young kids. The condo is steps to the beach, with access directly from the balcony via outdoor steps strait to the beach. We could keep an eye on the kids as they ran back and forth from the condo to the beach. Just two days into our stay, I was already making our reservations for next summer! What a beautiful area! The beach is beautiful, the nearby towns of Seaside, Water Color, Rosemary Beach, Santa Rosa are minutes away and full of shops, restaurants, places to rent bikes, etc. I can't imagine going anywhere else in Florida. The owners Betty and Dean couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Betty and I corresponded many times before our trip and she was so helpful with restaurant ideas, things to do, etc. As of late June 2014, they are the new owners of Sugar Dunes #18 and immediately have begun making improvements with all new linens, towels, mattresses, etc. I know without a doubt that they will continue to maintain their home for future guests. Not only are we returning next year, I also have a close friend who just made reservations at Sugar Dunes #18 for Spring Break. Thank you so much Betty and Dean. It was a wonderful week!

Why they chose this property

We discovered Sugar Dunes on our 31st wedding anniversary and eventually was able to convince the previous owners of Southeast of Disorder that we would cherish and care for the property just as they did. It's our hope that you will have the same wonderful experience staying in our unit.

What makes this property unique

When you open the door and walk down the hall you will be amazed at the beauty of the white sand, the turquoise water and the blue sky. You won't find a better view than the one from the balcony of this top floor unit.
Sugar Dunes is a private beach offering less crowding in the peak summer season,
