Love the location

We love the location of these condos, however, number 7 does need a lot of work. There are broken tiles, mold in the window seals, some of the deck boards feel weak, the front door knob/lock needs replaced as well as the one going to the beach. Some of the drawers were broken. The people working the beach, chairs, etc., were extremely amazing and always helpful. The spaciousness of the condo itself is always a positive. With that said, we do plan on coming back next year.

Wonderful location!

We absolutely loved the location of this property. It is truly right on the beach and with windows across the whole wall the view is stunning. The beds were comfortable (which is super important) and overall it was great. The bathrooms could use a little sprucing up, but that didn't affect the stay at all.

Beautiful View and Perfect Condo

We loved this three bedroom/three bath condo! There was plenty of room for all guests and it is steps from the beach. We lingered on the porch for hours looking the beautiful green Gulf of Mexico. Great location for food and entertainment along Highway 30A. Would recommend to anyone!

The patio was extremely nasty. In need of a major update. The bathroom in one of the bedrooms was dirty when we arrived. The couches were dirty and stained. The parking situation was terrible. I would not recommend this complex to friends due to the HOA and shape of the condo.

Beautiful views from a beautiful condo

Sugar Dunes is a nice gated beachfront community convenient to Seaside and Santa Rosa Beach. Walk right off your deck to chairs and umbrellas setup for you at the beach. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Offers satellite tv, wifi, DVD, games and more. We had a very enjoyable week!

We love Sugar Dunes!

Sugar Dunes units can’t be best. We stay several times a year in various years. You walk right out to a private beach access. Outside closet was stocked with some sand toys and boards. We always rent chairs and umbrellas from Spyglass to avoid carrying too much to the beach. Property managers were excellent! Condo is a little outdated and not super clean but we came for the view and the 30A food and didn’t plan to stay inside much.

Great location and value, on the beach!

We were looking for a beach front condo along 30A that didn't break the budget. We found a very nicely furnished condo that was closer to the beach than you will find here. The property is a bit dated, but the association was making repairs, replacing wood with PVC, etc while we were here. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds very comfortable, with great touches provided by 30A cottages who managed the property. Check-in was easy, over the phone while 30A made sure we could get into the condo, great service. I don't think you will find a better value in this area. Please note that you need to drive from here to any restaurants or shopping and that there is no pool, but being on the beach beats walking to overpriced restaurants or hanging out at a condo pool for us! We will definitely be back!

Location great. Updating and cleanliness terrible.

We love the location. Generally staying in this area. Convenient to a lot of restaurants, etc. This particular condo is in desperate need of updating and supervision of the cleaning process. Master tub had dirty sand in the bottom of it, and in the window seal behind the bathtub there was a lot of filth. After wearing socks on floor for short period of time, they were gray and black. Thick, dust, standing on baseboards & outlets. Couch covers need washing or replacing.

GREAT PLACE, but property management was a bust

We loved the place and the accommodations were great! Footsteps down stairs and then you’re on the beach. That was a huge blessing! Everything about it was wonderful! Unfortunately the management group never responded to two inquiries while we were there. That’s a bummer. One was about a tropical storm and what we needed to do about extended our stay, and the other was about reserving chairs and umbrellas. It has concierge in their title and they were... well, not. But that has nothing to with the owners or the accommodations! So surely it’s fixable!!!

Perfect location!

Love the location and the private beach. Enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the porch every morning as well as watching the sunsets in the evening. Condo was comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. As others have said, only thing we’d recommend is that all the bathrooms really need updating. Especially at the price point we paid. Also, my husband and I couldn’t take a shower at the same time. The hot water would only work with us taking turns. If we showered at the same time, one of us would only have cold water. Made it a bit inconvenient if we planned on going out for the evening but it was manageable for just the two of us. If there are more staying in the unit, it would be a bit more difficult. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay!!

EXCELLENT LOCATION!

I had the pleasure of staying at this spacious oceanfront condo just a week ago. If you are looking for rest, relaxation, and an incredible view, look no further - you have found the place. I have been visiting 30A for many years now, and this location is hard to beat. Unlike most other rentals, this condo boasts an oceanfront balcony spanning the entire length of the living room. We had a group of 6 and the spacious balcony allowed for all of us to congregate in one spot to enjoy coffee or cocktails and of course lots of great conversations, without ever feeling overcrowded. Not only was the balcony spectacular, but you are literally a few steps away from the beach, with you own private access. The condo was also extremely clean and all of the bathrooms were equipped with L'Occtaine products, making the experience that much more enjoyable. We were a short drive away from both Rosemary and Seaside, without having to deal with the crowd. I will DEFINITELY stay at this condo again, if for no other reason than to wake up to the spectacular views in the morning.

This condo needs work

First, I’ll say the good things. We love Sugar Dunes. It’s an excellent location. The condos are right on a private beach, and you can access the beach from stairs on the balcony. We are spoiled to this place! This was our third stay at Sugar Dunes, and it won’t be our last. Having said that, the individual condo needs A LOT of work. I could look past the chipping paint and molding in the bathrooms (although it’s such a simple, inexpensive fix, why wouldn’t you spruce it up?), but there is mold around all the recessed lighting in the condo. Water constantly dripped on us from the ceiling vents. We could have literally pressed hard enough to put our foot through the rotted floor in one of the bathrooms. The dryer didn’t dry (which they came, and it was better, but still not great), and two of the shower heads only dripped water when turned on full blast (also fixed while we were there by them replacing those shower heads). They got it right on the beds. Super comfy. You can stay in a much nicer condo anywhere on this property for the exact same price. Don’t stay here!

Buyer Beware

Property Manager requires renter to sign multi-page agreement with lots of penalties up to $500 each. Property falling apart. No remodel. Disgusting rot everywhere. Black mold. Green mold everywhere. No curtains in master bath. Toilets were elementary child size. Great location and access to beach. I have pictures of mold and run down
