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!

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.

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.

Physician Ordered!!

Sugar Dunes was just what the doctor ordered!! 4 busy women getting away from it all! The condo is spacious, comfortable and private. Several of our friends have reserved the place for their families in 2015 because of our excited chatter about condo and its location. The decor encourages relaxation. The owners obviously like to cook and entertain. The kitchen is well appointed. Any cooking or serving utensil that you might have at home is available...a real plus with rental property. Appliances and ice maker are pristine and operate at full capacity. The area is great for bicycle riding. A lake just to the west of the condo looks like it would provide fun for small children and a great spot to learn how to paddle board before graduating to the ocean. I hope to return many more times!! The condo lists three bedrooms and a loft. I consider the loft to be a fourth bedroom. It is private with a Queen bed. All of the rooms are very comfortable.

Can’t beat it!

Everything was fantastic!! Betty is amazing with communication, and she goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are happy. Not all renters were as flexible during this time, and we Betty was flexible while taking full COVID-19 precautions. The condo it clean, beautiful, and amazing. You can’t beat the views and ease of walking down to the beach, chairs set up for you, plenty of beach items to use, and being able to go back and forth so easy. We have stayed at other places where you had to take your stuff down daily, find restrooms etc. You won’t have to worry about that here, and the beach is private so there aren’t canopies all over or crowds of people. We rented bikes and it was fun and easy to bike to Seaside or other areas. If you have any issues, Betty is a phone call or text away and replies quickly. We didn’t have issues, but one ceiling fan didn’t work, and she had it replaced within a day. That’s the service she provides and it was appreciated. This was the best unit we have ever stayed at and would gladly stay here again!! If you want a family perfect 30A condo, this is an amazing one.

A Perfect Vacation!

Our week at "Sugar Dunes 18 Southeast of Disorder" was perfect! The condo was as nice, if not better than it appears in the photos. The view is amazing, the condo is very comfortable, clean, beautiful and well stocked with everything needed from the kitchen to the chairs/umbrella for the beach. My sister and our spouses arrived with our 5 kids, including both teenagers as well as my sister's young kids. The condo is steps to the beach, with access directly from the balcony via outdoor steps strait to the beach. We could keep an eye on the kids as they ran back and forth from the condo to the beach. Just two days into our stay, I was already making our reservations for next summer! What a beautiful area! The beach is beautiful, the nearby towns of Seaside, Water Color, Rosemary Beach, Santa Rosa are minutes away and full of shops, restaurants, places to rent bikes, etc. I can't imagine going anywhere else in Florida. The owners Betty and Dean couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Betty and I corresponded many times before our trip and she was so helpful with restaurant ideas, things to do, etc. As of late June 2014, they are the new owners of Sugar Dunes #18 and immediately have begun making improvements with all new linens, towels, mattresses, etc. I know without a doubt that they will continue to maintain their home for future guests. Not only are we returning next year, I also have a close friend who just made reservations at Sugar Dunes #18 for Spring Break. Thank you so much Betty and Dean. It was a wonderful week!

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.

You won't regret it!!!

This was our 5th time staying on 30A and by far our favorite condo we've stayed in! Betty & Dean are amazing hosts and communication was amazing. We had some storms roll through and she checked on us to make sure we were ok and to let us know that she had already reported the power outage and wanted to make sure we didn't need anything else. This condo is immaculate and is just as you see in the pictures, if not better! We had our 25 yr old son, 16 yr old daughter, and our 4 yr old niece and were more than comfortable, and loved that everyone had their own bathroom! Our niece loved being able to use all the beach toys that were available in the closet on the balcony, and we didn't have to buy ANY beach toys or accessories. The beds were all super comfortable, and we loved playing games at the round dining table. Having a garage to actually park in and shut the door to keep our car clean and secure was also a huge plus! They have everything you could possibly need and want from a luggage cart in the garage to bring all your gear up on the elevator, to anything you could need in the kitchen, and of course those beach items! The Beach was NEVER overcrowded and amazing, and only a short 5 minute walk to the Eastern Lake that flows into the gulf. You are centrally located in the middle of everything being in between Seaside and Rosemary Beach. Just moments from all the great restaurants and shopping, and Publix! As the title says, You won't regret this stay! Book it!

Couldn't Be Better!

We LOVED our stay at Sugar Dunes! The condo had everything we needed- the most well stocked condo we've ever stayed in. You can't get any more beach front than Sugar Dunes and the view from our unit was beautiful! If you don't like fighting for a spot on the beach then this is the place for you- the private beach is truly PRIVATE and the chair service does a great job of patrolling it. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you, Mrs. Betty, for a great experience! We can't wait to come back.

A fantastic beach home, beautifully and tastefully decorated, with all of the comforts of home (maybe more!) and a front-row seat on the amazing Emerald Coast? It's all here. However the true stars of this show, in our opinion, are Betty and Dean. They're the vacation rental hosts you've always wanted, but thought you'd never find. This gracious couple works overtime to make sure your stay is as stress free and relaxing as possible, all while making you feel like family. Truly exceptional!

Host profile image
We are Dean and Betty Hancock and we currently live in Pelham, Alabama. We have lived and worked in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, but we have never felt more at home than when spending family time on the Florida Gulf Coast, particularly on 30A.

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.
