The property and grounds are fantastic! Excellent location with easy and very convenient access to the beach. The seating on the porch was the best we have had at the Sugar Dunes complex, and we enjoyed many mornings and evenings there. Although we don't have little ones, the bunk room in the loft is the perfect place for them to spend a beach week.
Great location right on the beach with chair service. Close to great dining options and condo was in excellent condition and very clean. We will definitely be back!
Property was in great shape and location. The views if the beach were stunning. Highly recommend this property.

Thank you for being excellent guests. We love hearing from our guests that our condo is "fantastic"! We work hard to make sure we give our guests a 5 star experience.
We had the best family vacation at this condo! The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach, so getting the kids out to play in the sand or take a swim was super easy. The condo was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach toys.There was plenty of space for our whole family, and the loft space with bunk beds worked great for our kids. The view from the balcony was stunning—we loved having coffee out there in the mornings and watching the sunset at night.We’ve been to this area many times before and this was hands down the best place we’ve stayed.We’ll absolutely be back and would recommend this place to any family looking for a relaxing, fun-filled beach getaway!

Beautiful spot!
We loved our stay! Can't beat the location right on the beach. Betty was great to work with before and during our vacation. The condo is lovely--so filled with light, beautiful views, and comfortable furnishings! Loved the beach chair service that set up reserved chairs and an umbrella for us each day. Thanks for sharing your special place, Betty!

We had an amazing vacation at this condo! The owners of the condo are amazing to work with and great at communication. The condo is exactly how its portrayed online in the photos. Newly renovated, very clean and right on the water. We will be coming back every summer!
Most amazing place! Perfect place, perfect location!
By far our favorite place we’ve stayed. We had 4 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 10 year old. There was plenty of space. Betty was amazing quick to respond to any questions.
We can’t wait to go back.

Thank you Heather for the wonderful review.
We absolutely love sharing our beach home with great families like yours. Please come back!
Exceptional condo and location - listen to the surf all day
This property and the property owners are exceptional and friendly! The property is upscale with the view/location you are looking for to have the ideal beach trip. Plus, the kitchen is a cook's delight, seating to soak up the view is superb and upscale, bedding very comfortable, ample bathrooms, and a garage! Location is ideal as it's near Goatfeather's and Publix, yet out of the crowd. Beach is divine. Kayaking nearby too! The owners are a delight to work with and ensured our stay was just as we wanted.

Fabulous
We had the most absolutely fabulous time in this home last week! It was apparent the owners really love the place and spend a lot of time there. So many sweet thoughtful details at every turn! My boys adored the special bunks in the bunk bed room, my mother in law enjoyed the large guest bath, my husband loved reading on the loft bed and I adored the farm sink and drinking my coffee on the balcony every morning. We will definitely be returning in the future, such a wonderful place!

"Southeast of Disorder" was amazing! You can see the ocean from the time you walk in the front door. Betty was a pleasure to work with, very responsive to text during our stay. Betty checked in with us on the day we arrived to ensure everything was great. The condo was very clean and the attention to detail was amazing. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. Also, the beach access was right off the balcony. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful week with our family at the beach!
We greatly enjoyed staying in this condo for our family spring break. We live in Panama City Beach, but we love doing a "staycation" on 30a each year. Over the years we have stayed in 6 different properties and this is our favorite!
Betty was very accommodating and we communicated via phone and text.. It was nice knowing that if we needed anything she was easily accessible.
The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean! Perfect location and easy access to the beach! Loved having s garage to park in as well as access to beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys.

This was our 2nd summer to stay at Southeast of Disorder! It was just as fabulous this summer! The beach views are amazing, as you walk in the front door you see the beautiful water and sugar white beaches! Betty and Dean have thought of everything! The beach decor and furnishings make you feel right at home and ready to have a relaxing beach vacation. Betty is very responsive to questions and one special detail is she checks on you on your arrival date to ensure everything is great. The condo is very clean and well taken care of. We look forward to our future trips!

Fabulous Find
My husband and I invited our two daughters and their husbands along with our 14 month old granddaughter AND my mother to vacation with us this summer. All four generations had a fantastic stay. Compliments to Betty and Dean for the beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The great weather and gorgeous water made our week perfect. I have been vacationing on 30A for many years and have stayed at Sugar Dunes before. This unit is by far my favorite accommodation. I really appreciate the hands-on approach in booking with the Hancock's. Every question I could think of was answered and Betty was available at all times. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

Betty and Dean,
Thank you for sharing your condo with our family this week. We had beautiful weather and loved it here so much that we rarely left the condo. All of the updated appliances, washer & dryer, and big open windows on the back made us never want to go home. We loved the direct access to the beach. It was perfect for our family with younger kids. I loved getting up early and sitting on the back deck with my coffee and listening to the ocean. The kids loved the bunk beds and club house in the front bedroom.
Some highlights for the week were - watching dolphins swim up and down the coast, taking my 2 year old son into the ocean for the first time, and helping my brother get engaged!!! This week was full of fun and memories, Thank you again!!!

We found our "Happy Place"
This is our second year staying in Sugar Dunes 18 and we've already made our reservations again for next summer. We love this condo. It's beautiful, clean, well stocked, comfortable. The beach is literally just steps down from the balcony which is not only very convenient with kids, but we can also enjoy the beautiful view of the sunset, the dolphins, the white sand and the turquoise water right from the condo. Betty and Dean Hancock are wonderful to work with, so friendly, helpful and always available. It truly gives our vacation and even more personal touch getting to know the owners. We can't wait for next year...and the year after that.....Thank you Betty and Dean for this special get-away. It has become a very special place for our family to spend time just being together.

Beautiful Condo, GREAT owners, PERFECT LOCATION!!!
My family and I had the recent privilege of staying at Sugar Dunes 18. From the moment we booked our trip until the minute we left, everything went perfectly! Betty has a truly beautiful home and was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. She even checked on us the day we checked in!
The house was so comfortable and clean and felt like home. We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen. There was absolutely not ONE thing that we needed that Betty didn't already have! My daughter loved sitting at the bar while we cooked and loved drawing on the chalkboard!
The views from the living room and the back porch were amazing. We spent so much time on the deck and loved curling up on the outdoor sectional every evening! All in all, this really is a wonderful home in a great location. We will absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to ANY of our friends and family!

We want to make sure that everyone has a great vacation when they come to 18 Sugar Dunes "Southeast of Disorder". We want you to feel like you are in your own beach home with all the amenities that you need to enjoy your vacation whether that is cooking in the gourmet kitchen or eating out in the many wonderful restaurants that 30A has to offer. Our beach access and the balcony offer an experience that you can not find in any other condo. The private garage parking and a place to store your beach toys is an additional perk.

PERFECTION
This immaculate, perfectly decorated, condo makes you say "ahhhhh" the second you walk through the front door. Restful colors, spacious/open great room & kitchen with the absolute best view of the beach, the lush beds, spa-like bathrooms, I could just go on and on... My favorite?! Starting each day curled up on the outdoor sofa, having coffee with my girlfriends, while watching the sun come up from the back patio!! Oh--and the cute little loft upstairs?! Do yourself a favor and call 'dibs' for that to be YOUR room so you can fall asleep to the sound of waves peacefully rolling onto the shore! I mean...This place is Heaven. on. Earth! Cannot wait to visit again!!

Thanks for reminding us that the loft is another special place for enjoying the sounds of the waves while inside the condo. One guest told me that she didn't need to use her sound machine to sleep in the loft. The sound of the surf can also put you to sleep in the master bedroom.
Looking forward to your return trip.

Welcome to Paradise
Stunning beachfront condo with vaulted ceilings could literally be the cover of Coastal Living magazine! We felt so pampered by the high-end decorator furnishings, gourmet kitchen, comfy bedding and beautiful teak flooring. The patio gives you an entire extra living area with a cozy sectional sofa perfect for cocktails, reading or sleeping to the sounds of the surf. We played lots of card games at night on the patio seated in swivel lifeguard chairs at the high-top picnic table. Walk down the private stairs from the patio right onto the beach--the last step is covered in sand! The beach service Betty recommended was fantastic--every morning when we woke up, Chris or Matt were already busy at work setting up the umbrellas and chairs on this private beach with super-soft sugary white sand. We will definitely return to this amazing condo. Thank you Betty and Dean for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
We agree that the new balcony furniture creates an additional living area for the condo. It is wonderful for dining, playing cards, reading, napping and watching the sunset without having to step foot onto the sand. One guest told us that she slept every night on the sectional enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the sand and then waking up to the gorgeous sunrise.
We are so happy that you have chosen to return next year for another vacation in Paradise at 18 Sugar Dunes “Southeast of Disorder”.

Why they chose this property
We discovered Sugar Dunes on our 31st wedding anniversary and eventually was able to convince the previous owners of Southeast of Disorder that we would cherish and care for the property just as they did. It's our hope that you will have the same wonderful experience staying in our unit.
What makes this property unique
When you open the door and walk down the hall you will be amazed at the beauty of the white sand, the turquoise water and the blue sky. You won't find a better view than the one from the balcony of this top floor unit. Sugar Dunes is a private beach offering less crowding in the peak summer season,
