GATED walkable area~SnowBird rates ~Pet friendly with approval (404) 435 9940

Great location on Thomas Drive. Walking distance to several popular bars and restaurants. Park right at your front door and no waiting on elevators at this family friendly complex. Sugar Beach condos are beachside so no crossing Thomas drive to enjoy the sugar white sands. This is a ground floor unit with a lush lawn right outside to enjoy games. You can relax here and sit on your patio overlooking the freshwater pond. Feed the Koi fish or stroll along the short path to the beach and enjoy the courtyard. Just 250 steps according to my pedometer to the sugar white sands. Sugar Beach is a low rise property that features tennis/ pickleball courts a swimming pool, grilling area, and a wonderful clubhouse with ping pong table and kitchen/meeting area. Beach loungers (1 pair) and umbrella service included with rental in season (March to October) so no need to lug much to beach.

Panama beach
I felt very safe staying at this property. The location was was close to the beach and not far from the dog beach . The apartment was dirty when we arrived and contacted the owner and she sent someone over right away. The beds need new mattresses but overall things were good

our stay
There was some upgrades and maintenance going on but the property owner did let us know in advance. The location is great. We walked almost everywhere we needed to go and the access to the water was just steps away. Would love to stay again.

Clean & roomy
This is a very clean spacious condo. My daughter & I stayed in September and it was very relaxing. The bedrooms are big however the mattress in the front bedroom off the parking lot needs to be replaced IMO. It is creaky and sags to the middle. The other mattress was very comfortable. The kitchen is not well lighted. There was a stick up light above the sink but the batteries were dead. Overall we a great time and would stay here again. Also Kim the owner was easy to communicate with.

Not a bad spot
As stated on the listing, no beach view but a short walk. The condo was in a good spot for us. Easy entry and exit from the street. A couple good restaurants just across the street. Beach was very nice. Didn’t use the pool but looked nice. Nothing was crowded. Though the kitchen has been updated, the rest of the condo is dated and needs a little work but ok. Before booking I would suggest looking at all fees included. This adds near $100/night onto advertised price.

Beach Easy!
The location was great for us. We were able to get on/off the beach easy and rinse our feet/gear before heading back into the condo. We were close to great restaurants, entertainment(mini golf, go cart racing, arcades) and the marina to launch our small fishing boat. I loved the atmosphere of a garden to walk our dogs around. Nice artwork and smart tvs were on point for our lounge ac time. My daughter in law from Greece would like to come back which is a credible point of reference! Owner, Kim, was responsive with the broken dryer alternative too, so it wasn't a problem.

This was a great place.
This was by far the easiest vacation we have had. From parking right outside our door to checking in. The property was very nice. The owner was very good at communicating with us . We would definitely stay here again.

Needs updating and cleaning
The condo had a water leak before we came. We were made aware right before going in. This was not a big deal, things happen. After driving 12 hours and arriving on Saturday evening we were unable to shower until Monday evening due to water coming up in both bathtubs that smelled like sewage. Once again things happen, but the response time was not great. The condo was dirty and we had to wash our sheets before we could sleep in the beds. The patio door is broken and the glass is about to fall out of the frame. There were some outlets that did not have covers, not safe for small children. It definitely put a damper on our stay in the beginning but Sugar Beach is a wonderful place overall and would recommend it, just not this condo until it is all taken care of.
