First time 30A

A refuge from biking on a highway. Great beach and the condo was perfect for our needs. Three empty nester couples looking for relaxation and good food options.

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!

Charming place. Certain things need updating like the hall bath cabinet moldy , 2nd bath floor (moldy) & trim in master bath. Probably overpriced for the of the condition/age of property, however excellent view.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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

Beautiful views from the deck

Note for future renters , make sure you get a gas golf cart if that is your option as there is not an area to charge an electric golf cart. Would be nice to have a rug on the inside near the patio door to pick up any extra sand from being tracked in. We could have used a pizza cutter and some pot holders. Other than these nit picky things the views and stay was amazing ;). Great time of year to go before the spring breakers arrived.

60th birthday trip

The back deck and access to the beach were amazing. The sliding glass door is very hard to open and close. The kitchen and living and dining areas were roomy and comfortable. You need a few more coffee mugs. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were ok. No problem for us since we only stayed 3 nights but they could use some updating. The unit was clean and airy. Overall a great place.

Sl;iding glass door

We have stayed here numerous times and love the unit and location. However the sliding glass door is badly in need of replacing. We could hardly open or close it and the maintenance man couldn't do anything with it. We had trouble with it the last time we stayed here and nothing has been done about it. We will select another property unless this gets fixed. Thanks Fran Crenshaw

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.
