Traveled alone and felt comfortable there the entire time I was there. The room was really clean and had the food storage and iron cold I needed during my stay. The air worked great and I slept great every night! Would definitely stay again!

Scott, Thank you for the 4/5 star review of your stay with us in this great unit. Although this unit is small, it is capable of sleeping 4 and offers all things needed for a great stay. After all, since you are only an elevator ride away from sticking your toes in the sand, what else would you need but a shower and a place to sleep. This unit is very budget friendly and offers everything you would need at the beach. We hope you will come be our guest again soon. Thank you again for the great review!

Amanda, Thank you for your excellent rating and review of your recent stay with us in this great property. We will happily pass along the suggestion of implementing a/c in the elevators as this is a matter which is controlled by the association of the complex. Maybe by the next time you come, you may be surprised your voice was heard and your elevator ride is cool and comfortable. Be sure to mention being a returning guest when booking with us in the future so we can apply the discount we offer all of our loyal guests. Thank you again for the excellent rating!

Perfect for small family

First trip with just my kids and I. This condo was the perfect size for us. Just as the listing says it’s small, cozy, and just a short walk to the beach. You can see the ocean from the balcony which was a win for my daughter and I! Only thing I’d say is be mindful when you close the door because sometimes I noticed it wouldn’t close all the way for the lock to catch, otherwise great stay!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
In the downstairs bathroom of my condo, someone had smoked in the past so it smelled awful. I am allergic to cigarettes and have had a cough and congestion since the first night I was there. I thought it had a view of the ocean even if it were from the side of the condo. I paid for Ike’s beach chairs yet the people that didn’t pay for the chairs were not even a foot from me therefore I was unable to see the beach. The elevators either smelled like Fabuloso on steroids or it smelled sour and gross. The class of people on the beach was disappointing. I thought it was a family environment yet at least 3 different families were drinking heavily and using profanity. I’m glad I did not bring my grandkids here. My friend is post menopausal and we were unable to lower the AC to less than 70 degrees. Overall I was disappointed in the beach view, the cleanliness, and the type of families that come to Sugar Beach. I will not be back.

Austin, We are terribly saddened by your review as well as your comments regarding this property. This complex, as well as this unit, has been on our rental program for many years and has MANY, amazing guests that return to this unit year after year. Not only is the complex budget friendly, but they offer many amenities not offered by other older complexes. We worked with you as much as we could to make your stay all that it should be, but we guess that was not enough to make your stay what you expected. We are very apologetic for the situation but wish you well. Sincerely, Luna Beach Properties, LLC

Love Sugar Beach...but not this room

Both adults are 5'2"... couldn't reach microwave without a chair. No safety latch on entry door. No plug for tub drain...unable to bathe kids in tub. No blankets..but a very nice woman brought some when we called. THE SOFA BED WAS TERRIBLE..even the kids couldn't sleep. Needs a thicker mattress. No hair dryer...it actually wasn't listed as an item but I haven't stayed at any of the SB condos in the last 19 years that did not have one! Clean and we did love the beach♥️ Overall we still enjoyed our vacation. This unit just needs a little love and attention.

August 2022 Stay

Overall, would stay there again! First night we had some issues accessing our room. This was a complete fluke and no fault of anyone. The on-call were great in helping us! From my day of travel I know I was a little snippy in the beginning, but their attitude and willingness to help made the entire situation better. The building/property itself is older and could use some updating. I wasn’t expecting the cement walls in the interior and that took me back. It has a prison/old dorm feeling, but I’m sure very safe in hurricane weather. The condo itself is also a little outdated and could have used a little more cleaning (ceiling fans and shower liner specifically). We enjoyed the easy beach access and night time on the beach quickly became a favorite. The pools were also nice when wanting an escape from the sand. It truly became our cozy little home away from home and we enjoyed our stay. We did leave a few supplies for the next guests because truly there’s just never enough.

We hated the whole situation but your understanding made this easy to manage quickly and efficiently. We totally agree with you regarding the esthetic of the building and complex itself. It really does have that look and feeling about it but also seems to be a very safe complex that has weathered every hurricane without any substantial damage.

The property was nice. Good location. Beach was great. Pool was very nice. I didn’t realize that the bedroom was upstairs but we managed. Cozy but for the 2 of us it was nice. Limited view from balcony. The condo next door was power washing their parking deck so during the day it was terribly loud when sitting outside. (Nothing you could do about this). My problem began on Sunday when I tried to check in. I had received an email from you and it started off “this is every thing you need for your stay”. It told me about the parking, the pool, the beach, etc. What it didn’t give me was the entry code to the lock box on the door so I could get in. We arrived at the condo at 3pm hoping to get in early. We hung out until 4pm waiting on an email with the code. Starting at 5pm I called the onsite manager Austin to see if he had any contact. The text from VRbo said “if you have any questions contact the owner”. The only number I had gave me a recording “our business hours are Mon-Fri 8-5” I checked with the onsite security guard. He had a phone # for the unit but it was a non working number. I sent multiple texts. I checked my inbox after downloading the VRBO app. Nothing. After repeated attempts to contact someone I gave up and found me a hotel room at 8pm. The next morning someone finally answered me. She told me that I had received an email on Sept 4th with my door code. I checked my trash. I had 496 deleted messages but it only went back to Sept 7th. I did receive a 150 refund
Finally got to spend some time on the beach with my husband starting on Monday 9-15.

We are very saddened by your experience of your stay with us in this great property. Although we do not understand you not making sure you had all of the details for arrival ahead of time, we are sympathetic to the situation and that is why you received the refund. We send out the arrival information in plenty of time prior to arrival so that guests can read over the information and be prepared and hopefully understand the check in process of needing a code for entry. Our on call staff explained to you that none of your texts or messages were received on our 24 hour office line so we honestly do not know why we were unable to communicate with you while you were attempting to access the property. We hope you will accept our sincerest apology and learn from this experience to get in touch with the property manager ahead of time to make sure you have all you need for arrival. We do offer our returning guests a discount on all future bookings, and we hope to have you come stay with us again. Sincerely, Luna Beach Properties, LLC

Are we safe here?

This unit is a lot smaller than it looks in pictures! Shower curtain in lower bath had mold on it! Patio chairs had mold on them! One smoke detector located on 2nd level without a battery and no sprinkler system in unit! There was no bedding for pull out sofa bed and one of the pillows was stained! Mattress on pullout bed was very worn out! Microwave was on top of the fridge! We had to stand on top of our cooler in order to use it! Upstairs carpet was dirty, stained and not vacuumed! We had towels and no washcloths! Closet door hanging on one hinge! The unit is outdated and had a really unclean feel and smell to it! We asked for an accommodation (not a refund) but was told there’s was nothing that could be done until the next dAy. We ended up spending more money that night at a hotel!!! Next morning we went to Luna Beach Properties main office and further expressed our concerns. Once again, we were told that there was nothing that could be done! This lady was very cold and could care less about our concerns!! “Take the shower curtain down and another rest of your trip!” That’s what she told us, because there’s Belsen they could do! Out of all the properties that they have, we could not be accommodated! We also asked if someone would clean the unit for us because it wasn’t very clean! They later sent a very nice maintenance guy who fixed the closet replaced some light bulbs! We had to spend money again to buy cleaning products to clean the unit ourselves in order to try and enjoy the rest of our stay! This unit is not big enough for 4 adults! No privacy!

Vickie, So many of the statements made in this review are untrue! When you contacted our office at arrival, you demanded we move you to another property. You told us the photos you viewed online are not of this unit and that we were deceptive in our advertising. The listing clearly states this is a 1 bedroom unit that is only 700 square feet so how this is deceptive we do not understand. We also do not use any trick photography when taking the photos as you mentioned when calling our office. Our maintenance guy did go to the unit to replace the hinge on the door of a small storage closet at the base of the stairs. When he got there he had to move all of your luggage from in front of the door to repair it. We also sent a full housekeeping staff to the unit and you declined them cleaning anything! You were not very nice to any of our staff and your demanding attitude was not appreciated at all. We wish you the best, however we do not wish you return or book with us in the future as we could not do anything to satisfy you or your group. Sincerely, Luna Beach Properties, LLC
