Welcome to Sugar Sands, a charming and intimate vacation treasure on the shores of beloved Madeira Beach. Sugar Sands offers a peaceful beachside experience with only three condos sharing a private pool and secluded beach. This lovely tropical oasis is just steps from the beautiful beach and laden with exotic and fragrant greenery, tropical huts, a BBQ grill, and an outdoor shower. Beach towels, beach chairs, two kayaks, and two paddleboards are available.

A unique blend of Florida fishing village, residential community and tourist destination contribute to an original vibe that is Madeira Beach. Mad Beach, as it's affectionately referred to, is that curious mixture of history, progress, and stability which, when paired with the perfect weather of Florida's Gulf Coast, makes for a delightful community. Measuring only two miles long, this small seaside gem draws beach lovers to its pristine white sandy beaches. Madeira Beach is home to John's Pass Village and with six public parks, boat-accessible restaurants, charter boats, and dolphin watch cruises, it has something for everyone. Dog-friendly beaches include Bicentennial Park, Fort Desoto Park, and Boca Ciega Millennium Park.

Sugar Sands C is on the second floor and offers 2,500 sq. ft. of homey beachside living penthouse style. This retreat offers fabulous views from the sunroom, dining area, and main suite, and all the comforts of home with a nicely appointed kitchen, wine refrigerator, and breakfast bar. Three bedrooms have private full bathrooms, TV, and king beds, a rare luxury. The magnificent main suite boasts a charming sitting area overlooking the glistening Gulf of Mexico. And last but not least, the fourth bedroom has two sets of full bunk beds, a TV, and a handy sink and refrigerator.

Great Place

Perfect location and a nice place to stay. We had a great time. I stay in 20+ rentals a year and wouldn’t hesitate to book this again. Good cookware, beach towels, beds, pool, patio, grills, grocery stores and restaurants.

Loved the pool so close to the Gulf

Very nice place in a beautiful location. Very clean. Loved that there was a pool so close to the Gulf of Mexico. The two lower units were not being used so we enjoyed having the pool to ourselves. Only bonus would be a patio that we could be outside or communicate with the people in the pool without having to actually leave the unit.

Great place to stay for larger groups

Wonderful spot on private side of Madeira beach. Nice large space with 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms. So hard to find places for larger groups. Pool was wonderful. Kitchen could use better cookware. Nice that some beach towels are supplied.

Great Location

I brought some customers on a little beach getaway and this was the perfect spot. We had plenty of comfortable beds for 7 adults. The pool area is great with the beach right out the back door. This spot is located very close to some cool bars and restaurants so you can easily walk from place to place, and their is a grocery store a block or so away. We loved this place as the location.

Awesome location! Awesome pool space!!!

This home has such a great feel to it and location can’t be beat ! The most ideal vacation would be to rent all the units for your family though so you have complaint privacy. My favorite was the beautiful pool! Beach was clean and private. The pool toys and float were very helpful! Complaints were few but if I had to choose it would be: Kitchen needing to be better equipped A door on bunk room Staff was super responsive to our requests! Loved pool table and all the space! Providing beach towels was a nice amenity! Thank you for a great time !

Spacious for 50th birthday celebration

Checkin code did not work, so we had to call and get a new one, which did work. A few other items at and before checkin so 3 stars for that, but after day one, everything ran smoothly. Place was spacious and served our needs well. Loved having the pool right there. Location was perfect.

3 family vacation

We stayed here with 3 small families. There was plenty of room to everyone. 6 adults, 4 Young kids, and 2 babies. The pool was great for the kids and the ocean is super close. Lots of toys for the kids to play with. We basically had the beach to ourselves the whole week. The exterior of the property is starting to show its age but the inside is nice. Overall it was a great place to stay for our group.

Fantastic for family vacation

We loved our stay. The location cannot be beat and having our own pool was amazing. Most of the beach chairs provided were broken and not in good shape as was the pool furniture. The other units below the penthouse had more than the maximum amount of people staying so it made it pretty crowded if the units were all full. Roofers were on our roof every single morning but one. We mentioned these things to Vacasa but we just checked out so they haven’t had time to respond. Those were minor inconveniences as we loved the location, the house in general (a little outdated but still great for a beach vacation) and the view is amazing. Would stay here again.

We had a great time on Sugar Sands C.

Loved the roominess, wonderful location. Definitely a few up grades needed- decent beach chairs and a new frying pan. The middle bathroom did not have hot water. Cold swimming pool. Our biggest problem was lack of flexibility with an early check in. We had 3 hours , 5 kids and pouring rain when we arrived in Madeira beach. Loved the laundry facilities and the outdoor shower. All in all we had an awesome vacation here and would definitely book again.

It’s the little things

Location was perfect , unit is clean and functional. One fry pan that was old and dirty , stove top was old, beat up and did not function as it should, very few games, no extra blankets in the event someone was chilled . These are all small things that should have been attended to by the owner

View was spectacular! Penthouse was decorated nicely. Fourth bedroom needed door for privacy.

We stayed with family, 11 of us. A little tricky with fourth bedroom. No door for privacy and sink was not working. But all in all a great trip with lots of wonderful memories. I would definitely rent this again but maybe only with three families. The penthouse was decorated beautifully. A lot of personal touches. Can’t say enough about the view!

Brief Stay - Great Spot!

The space is very spacious and great for larger groups. The bunk room is open to the hallway, so as long as guests don't mind the lack of a door, its perfect. The pool sticks are in need of replacing, but we managed to grab a few that did the job. For cooking, plan to visit the Dollar Store / Winn Dixie nearby for prep utensils (sharp knife, probably a cookie sheet, etc.). Would advise taking inventory of what is there when you arrive. Access to the beach was a breeze! (No pun intended) Overall, the operations for the condo were simple and the instructions were easy to follow.

Perfect Beach house

Very nice house, pool table is awesome and the house was comfortable and clean. The check in process was kind of a pain in the butt. We got in late and was expecting to get in and get comfortable. The code they gave us didn’t work and we were on the phone with property management trying many codes. It took us 45 min to get checked in after our 5 hour flight. The pool was cold and not heated as stated in the description. However the house was perfect and fun for all of us. The beach access was awesome and the house had everything you needed. Bedrooms were perfect and pool area was great. Very nice place to stay!!! You won’t be disappointed

Great location, needs repairs

Great location and view. Spacious for our large family. However the home could use a lot of repairs and be better stocked, stone top doesn’t work properly, stove vent doesn’t work at all. Most bedroom and bathroom didn’t lock. Washing machine was broke, dryer takes extra time. Not enough bath towels/wash cloths were supplied for the house. Ice machine kept freezing up. Not enough cook ware. Over all a great stay and location. Just needs updates/repairs, and to be better equipped especially for large groups.

5 STAR CoVid Safe beach retreat!!

I took my family of 8 here for Spring Break. The ONLY disparaging remark I have is that the temps were low 70's and I would have preferred low 80's haha. This place has EVERYTHING you need and you can be as isolated or integrated with the public as you want. For us, we went out to dinner one night and prepared the rest of our meals inside. We never ran out of things to do from watching March Madness on the big screen TV's, to swimming in the ocean on the paddle boards or making sand castles (had the beach outside almost to ourselves, other than people walking around), to swimming in the heated pool, to playing billiards with the large windows open to the ocean. We would love to come back. Great vacation, all smiles from this crew. Thanks Teeming for sharing this spot with us!

Penthouse dated & needs TLC

The penthouse unit was spacious and the floorplan was perfect for our large family. It felt like we were in a quaint private villa. After we got settled the flaws began to show: - The master bedroom was infested with mating termites. There were termite wings on the floor as if no one had cleaned the floor. - The electrical outlets on the outside wall in the master bedroom didn't work. - The floors throughout the unit were dirty after supposedly being recently mopped. - The hot water in one of the bathrooms never got hot. - The exhaust fan on the cooktop didn't work. - The occupants in the unit below the penthouse reported having cockroaches.

Be aware, if you contract via Vrbo you will be charged booking fees 2x (22% of rent in total), go direct to the property manager. GOOD: Unit is spacious, large kitchen, bathrooms upgraded, laundry on premises, outside cooking option, plus parking. Excellent location right on the beach! BAD: pool is NOT heated! Two smaller units on the 1st floor, amenities are shared. The pool deck (25% closest to beach) is under re-construction, and looks like it will be for a while. Pool table has seen better days. Unfortunately we experienced "red tide", windows had to be closed, very warm inside as we learned the A/C was iced over and didn't work until defrosted late in the week. Couldn't go in the ocean, pool very cold, everyone suffering from "red tide" allergy-type effects. Best feature, close to good restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. Weather was very good.
