Thank you for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Sugar Sands A. We appreciate you taking the time to share feedback and hope to welcome you back in the future.
We were not aware that we would be having 14 people staying upstairs. It was terrible. It sounded like a herd of buffalo. Will not be staying here again. Would not recommend it to anyone. Yes beach, yes pool, yes noise.
We’ve stayed at this property numerous times over the last three or four years. We keep coming back because it is perfect for us! Pool just outside the door and then the Gulf beyond. Renovations look great and everything is fully functional!

Disliked: Communication, location
Condo was nice, just penthouse guests were unbelievably rude loud and had 10 or more people in the pool after midnight while grilling drinking and screaming.
Came down for a week long anniversary trip. Location was great! Pool could use an update, they were working on the deck while we were there but the actual pool looks older. Cindi was just the right size for us!
It was so great having a pool right outside your door and the beach jist a little ways past the pool.
The only issue we had was finding the place because it is between 2 large condos and the driveway entrance is pretty hard to find. We drove past it several times.
Left after day 1 of 3.
Sofa was filthy and stained (unlike listing photo). Pool contained layer of sand on bottom and leaves.
Compressed fiberglass bathroom door was leaking fiberglass onto bathroom floor.

Great location for an old condo
Pros: great location steps from the white sand and beautiful water. You can't get closer beach access unless you're camping in the sand. Madeira is a lovely beach town. Unit was a short walk to restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy. Cons: unit is older and a bit shabby. Supplies were basic. The advertised paddle boards and canoe were all damaged and unusable. All filled with water and should be replaced or removed. We constantly heard noise from the neighbors upstairs playing pool and dragging chairs across the floor. The pool was advertised as heated but too cold to swim in March. Overall, we enjoyed the great location but the unit could use some love and updating.
Sadly this property and the amenities were not well cared for clean. During our two week stay we were never contacted by the property manager even though we emailed twice with concerns. Trash on the grounds and by the pool was never picked up. The pool was not heated and you couldn’t enter it. The deck was still under construction. The towels were thin and stained. Toaster oven door didn’t close. And there was a huge stain on the couch. The place has potential due to the wonderful location, but not currently worth your money.
