Family vacation
This was an overdue family vacation. We enjoyed the fact it was gated and in close proximity to food and fun. The unit was perfect for our 4 kids and me and my husband. Plenty of room to relax. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms were separate from living area which was a plus for us. Just a few hundred feet to the beach. Cannot wait to book our next stay. The owner was easy to get in touch with.

Worst Stay I've Experienced in Years!
The location is great (more private beach area) and the unit had decent enough furnishings but the gate code did not work for entrance to property or re-entry from beach. Luckily another guess was kind enough to assist. Both bed sheets had dog hair all over. We had to strip beds and wash multiple times b4 sleeping. Washer/dryer single unit has dog hair. We tried to clean it too...to no avail. Wifi was out of range so we could not connect TV or personal devices. The floors were sandy so we had to sweep. The hall light was out as well as a couple of lamps. There was no trash bag in kitchen or cabinets. We really could not enjoy the stay. I really hope the owner finds better cleaning and maintenance staff. These are all minor infringements so I hope they get it together. We vacation a lot and this is the worst experience I can remember.

Memorial day weekend
Our stay could not have been better. Weather was perfect. Our condo was great. Kim had told us about the construction, but it was no problem at all. Couldn't tell there was any going on. The condo was clean, well maintained and just what we needed. I would highly recommend it.

It was ok for last minute.
Decided on a whim to go to Florida for Memorial Day. This property has an excellent location. You could literally walk out the back gate and be in the beach. The amenities were great. The pool was right next to the beach. There was a tennis court, shuffle board and bridge overlooking the koi pond. However, there was a lot of construction which the owner had made me aware of. I don’t know if there was any construction outside, but someone had an irritatingly loud air conditioning unit, right outside of the master bedroom….and was EXTREMELY loud…not the fault of the owner. The two bathrooms smelled kinda bad. Not sure if it was a sewage issue, but if someone used the other bathroom, there was a smell that seeped through the master bath. Smelled pretty horrible. We use a lot of internet, especially my son, but for our entire trip, the WiFi wasn’t accessible. On the property website it says one password and username, while the owner provided another username. We used the one provided by on the website first…didn’t work. Then I notified the owner and she provided another password and username. That one still didn’t work. We all ended up using our phones for hotspots to access WiFi…not good. All in all, I give the property 6.5 out of 10.

Clean & roomy
This is a very clean spacious condo. My daughter & I stayed in September and it was very relaxing. The bedrooms are big however the mattress in the front bedroom off the parking lot needs to be replaced IMO. It is creaky and sags to the middle. The other mattress was very comfortable. The kitchen is not well lighted. There was a stick up light above the sink but the batteries were dead. Overall we a great time and would stay here again. Also Kim the owner was easy to communicate with.

Not a bad spot
As stated on the listing, no beach view but a short walk. The condo was in a good spot for us. Easy entry and exit from the street. A couple good restaurants just across the street. Beach was very nice. Didn’t use the pool but looked nice. Nothing was crowded. Though the kitchen has been updated, the rest of the condo is dated and needs a little work but ok. Before booking I would suggest looking at all fees included. This adds near $100/night onto advertised price.

Beach Easy!
The location was great for us. We were able to get on/off the beach easy and rinse our feet/gear before heading back into the condo. We were close to great restaurants, entertainment(mini golf, go cart racing, arcades) and the marina to launch our small fishing boat. I loved the atmosphere of a garden to walk our dogs around. Nice artwork and smart tvs were on point for our lounge ac time. My daughter in law from Greece would like to come back which is a credible point of reference! Owner, Kim, was responsive with the broken dryer alternative too, so it wasn't a problem.

Needs updating and cleaning
The condo had a water leak before we came. We were made aware right before going in. This was not a big deal, things happen. After driving 12 hours and arriving on Saturday evening we were unable to shower until Monday evening due to water coming up in both bathtubs that smelled like sewage. Once again things happen, but the response time was not great. The condo was dirty and we had to wash our sheets before we could sleep in the beds. The patio door is broken and the glass is about to fall out of the frame. There were some outlets that did not have covers, not safe for small children. It definitely put a damper on our stay in the beginning but Sugar Beach is a wonderful place overall and would recommend it, just not this condo until it is all taken care of.

Great short walk to beach. Beautiful beaches! Great pool, grill area and nice green grounds and pond. Nice younger family vibe in the condos. Condo was perfect to get out of the heat.

Good couples trip
We stayed here 3 nights. The location was close to walk to alot of places. We felt safe because everything was gated and asked for a passcode. It was so convenient how close the beach was. Mostly everything was a little outdated but it wasn’t a problem to us. Unit had a wagon and other beach stuff which we enjoyed. For a couples trip it was a good place to stay.

Sugar Beach offers a beautiful setting and opportunity to meet new friends. Our condo was more than adequate. Bottom floor so walked right out to feed the fish and turtles, walk to the beach or just sit on patio and enjoy the surroundings. A few renovations might help but nothing interfered with us and our enjoyment. Great condo and great complex.
