Welcome to Sugar Sands, a charming and intimate vacation treasure on the shores of beloved Madeira Beach. Sugar Sands offers a peaceful beachside experience with only three condos sharing a private pool and secluded beach. This lovely tropical oasis is just steps from the beautiful beach and laden with exotic and fragrant greenery, tropical huts, a BBQ grill, and an outdoor shower. Beach towels, beach chairs, two kayaks, and two paddleboards are available.

A unique blend of Florida fishing village, residential community and tourist destination contribute to an original vibe that is Madeira Beach. Mad Beach, as it's affectionately referred to, is that curious mixture of history, progress, and stability which, when paired with the perfect weather of Florida's Gulf Coast, makes for a delightful community. Measuring only two miles long, this small seaside gem draws beach lovers to its pristine white sandy beaches. Madeira Beach is home to John's Pass Village and with six public parks, boat-accessible restaurants, charter boats, and dolphin watch cruises, it has something for everyone. Dog-friendly beaches include Bicentennial Park, Fort Desoto Park, and Boca Ciega Millennium Park.

Sugar Sands C is on the second floor and offers 2,500 sq. ft. of homey beachside living penthouse style. This retreat offers fabulous views from the sunroom, dining area, and main suite, and all the comforts of home with a nicely appointed kitchen, wine refrigerator, and breakfast bar. Three bedrooms have private full bathrooms, TV, and king beds, a rare luxury. The magnificent main suite boasts a charming sitting area overlooking the glistening Gulf of Mexico. And last but not least, the fourth bedroom has two sets of full bunk beds, a TV, and a handy sink and refrigerator.

Loved the pool so close to the Gulf
Very nice place in a beautiful location. Very clean. Loved that there was a pool so close to the Gulf of Mexico. The two lower units were not being used so we enjoyed having the pool to ourselves. Only bonus would be a patio that we could be outside or communicate with the people in the pool without having to actually leave the unit.

Penthouse dated & needs TLC
The penthouse unit was spacious and the floorplan was perfect for our large family. It felt like we were in a quaint private villa. After we got settled the flaws began to show: - The master bedroom was infested with mating termites. There were termite wings on the floor as if no one had cleaned the floor. - The electrical outlets on the outside wall in the master bedroom didn't work. - The floors throughout the unit were dirty after supposedly being recently mopped. - The hot water in one of the bathrooms never got hot. - The exhaust fan on the cooktop didn't work. - The occupants in the unit below the penthouse reported having cockroaches.

It’s the little things
Location was perfect , unit is clean and functional. One fry pan that was old and dirty , stove top was old, beat up and did not function as it should, very few games, no extra blankets in the event someone was chilled . These are all small things that should have been attended to by the owner

Perfect Beach house
Very nice house, pool table is awesome and the house was comfortable and clean. The check in process was kind of a pain in the butt. We got in late and was expecting to get in and get comfortable. The code they gave us didn’t work and we were on the phone with property management trying many codes. It took us 45 min to get checked in after our 5 hour flight. The pool was cold and not heated as stated in the description. However the house was perfect and fun for all of us. The beach access was awesome and the house had everything you needed. Bedrooms were perfect and pool area was great. Very nice place to stay!!! You won’t be disappointed

Family Vacation
The condo is in a great location. We visited in November so we were the only ones at the condo. There is the penthouse uptop then two smaller units below. The pool was great to have. Its right on the beach. Johns Pass is about an 8-10 minute trolly ride. The Winn Dixie is a quick 10 minute walk across the street. I would visit this place again simply for its location. The condo itself was a bit run-down with rusty showers and faucets. The big room with four beds also did not have a door which was not advertised. But overall I'd recommend this condo for the location, pool, size of the property and access to the beach.

Be aware, if you contract via Vrbo you will be charged booking fees 2x (22% of rent in total), go direct to the property manager. GOOD: Unit is spacious, large kitchen, bathrooms upgraded, laundry on premises, outside cooking option, plus parking. Excellent location right on the beach! BAD: pool is NOT heated! Two smaller units on the 1st floor, amenities are shared. The pool deck (25% closest to beach) is under re-construction, and looks like it will be for a while. Pool table has seen better days. Unfortunately we experienced "red tide", windows had to be closed, very warm inside as we learned the A/C was iced over and didn't work until defrosted late in the week. Couldn't go in the ocean, pool very cold, everyone suffering from "red tide" allergy-type effects. Best feature, close to good restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. Weather was very good.

Steps to the beach, this was by far the best part about the house. We loved how quickly and easy we were able to walk straight out with all the kids. We had a group of 14 and there was plenty of room and sleeping accommodations were perfect. Close walking to restaurants and groceries which was great because we didn’t rent a car. They only thing we had a complaint about was that the deck was peeling paint and screws were sticking out, which explains why the deck was currently under construction to repair. We were not informed of this prior to arriving. Regardless, we had a great time.

Great family vacation home for all ages.
We had 11 of us staying here, 2 families with kids ranging from 4 to 19 years. All were thoroughly entertained from sun up to sun down and there was more than enough space for everyone. Everything needed for the beach was offered except for some sand toys however there was a Dollar Store just a few minutes away so it was an easy solution. We left them behind so maybe a few more groups will get some use out of them. When the kids needed a break from the beach the pool offered a nice reprieve rich with trees and greenery, for shade. Including coconut trees which got to partake of. Just minutes away from St. Johns Pass where we got all our souvenirs, and ice cream and went parasailing. Great house in a great location, we had a wonderful stay!

No one should stay at your property.
The location was superb, but that's about it. You mislead me on your listing. There is no pull out couch which your listing suggests there is. The heated pool and dryer were broken and unusable the whole time we were there. There was one wine glass in the kitchen cabinet, no blankets initially and insufficient towels for bathing. There was no top to the blender, the internet was terrible and the kitchen had insufficient cooking supplies.
