Awesome Family Spring Break!

WI Family Ripon, WI, USA
Review Submitted: May 4, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We couldn't have asked for anything more! The condo was bright, comfy and cleaned to perfection. We were instantly at-home the minute we walked through the door...and then we saw the gulf! Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the surf was so tranquil. We couldn't have been closer to the beach, just a few stairs and our toes were in the most spectacular beach sand! The kitchen was unbelievably well stocked and everything in the condo worked exactly like it should. The balcony proved to be the favorite room in the condo. Having morning coffee while watching dolphins pass-by just can't be beat! The location is perfect: quiet, unpopulated beach right infront of the condo and more activities than you could wish for just within a couple miles of the condo. By far, this was the best vacation we've ever had! Our family will definitely be back, but before then a group of us girls are going to make a "girls-week-out"!
Owner's Response: We'd love to have you back for a relaxing "Girls Week". Late Summer or early Fall is perfect time to come as the beaches are almost empty.The large gulf facing porch/balcony is one of our favorite parts of the condo too! You really can't get any closer to the beach than this! Glad your family had fun during 09 spring break at Sugar Dunes #5!

Birthday Blast

BJ and JK DeFuniak Springs, FL
Review Submitted: July 19, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Barb was wonderful to work with in obtaining condo #5. From the moment we first spoke on the phone, I knew she took pride in making sure her guests' needs were met. We spent 3 nights celebrating our twin boys' 16th birthdays and our oldest sons' graduation from high school. The condo was spacious enough to accomodate my family and a few of their friends with room for more. Location was wonderful. Every morning we would place our chairs on the beach and able to walk back and forth between the condo and the water with ease. No packing up or worrying about your personal items being left for others to take. We could sit on the balcony and watch the boys playing and even hear their laughter and conversations - truly a blessing. Another feature we enjoyed was the spacious kitchen and dining. We are very family oriented and enjoy eating together as a family. There is seating for 11 in the dining room and 8 more on the balcony. There was plenty of linens and the kitchen was well stocked. It was truly "home away from home". Everyone had plenty of room to have their own space; therefore, we all enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing time. I would recommend this condo to anyone with a large family or even 2 families to share. The owners go above and beyond to make sure that your stay in really a vacation. Thanks Barb for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of paradise. BJ and JK.
Owner's Response: So glad your family had a wonderful time at our spacious beach front condo in quiet Seagrove Beach. Many of our family guests are two or three generations who enjoy vacationing together, and our condo is the perfect place for family relaxation.

just one more day...

KC's mom Jacksonville, Florida
Review Submitted: June 28, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We meet our friends “ half way” for a beach vacation in Seagrove every year and this is our second stay at this #5 condo. Location ideal, condo clean and well supplied for our enjoyment. Together, we laughed, ate, drank, sunned, read books, played cards, rented bikes, listened to music and relaxed. A perfect vacation was had by all. The beach is so gorgeous. We wanted to make our spring vacation last just one more day..but worked called us back
home :( . Until next year…..
Owner's Response: Sounds like you did a little bit of everything during your second visit to Sugar Dunes #5! Glad it was another good trip. We have many guests who are two families vacationing together since our condo is spacious and offers plenty of room for both kids and adults to enjoy their own activities, while not disturb others. Please be sure to contact us early for your next spring vacation as we usually fill up quickly.

Calfornia Crew - Our sweet life at Sugar Dunes

California Crew Rancho Cucamonga, California
Review Submitted: June 27, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Location location location!!! This vacation condo at Sugar Dunes was as sweet as it gets. From the spacious floor plan and the beautiful tropical Florida decor inside to the breathtaking white sand beach outside this place has it all.
We had a blast, from lazy days on the beach creating sand castles to our shrimp and crab boil dinner on the porch. Conveniently located, we enjoyed our shopping spree at the cute village of Seaside and enjoyed a boating and snorkeling day trip. Here you can do nothing but relax or you can keep busy continuously its up to the indivdual. We had days that we did both. Condo was a real treat, we feel very lucky to have come across this Florida gem. I think we have found our home away from home here.
Owner's Response: Location is one reason our guests return year after year. Our condo is designed and outfitted for family vacation enjoyment. Once in vacation mode, yes, one can be relaxed and do nothing or be active - you decide! Sounds like your family was busy most of the time on your first trip to Seagrove! Don't wait until your next reunion to come back to Sugar Dunes #5!

Great vacation condo on beautiful beach

CU Illini Champaign, IL USA
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We loved the gorgeous white sand beach! Great food nearby and this condo had everything we needed for a great time. We loved RELAXING on the porch watching the waves at sunset, a perfect way to "chill" each evening. Thanks for sharing your "piece of paradise" with us. We'll be back next year.
Owner's Response: So glad your family enjoyed your vacation at our condo. Our sugar white sand beach is the best in FL panhandle. Look forward to hearing from you next year!

Our home away from home

Class of Evansville, IN
Review Submitted: June 22, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2008
This December will be the start of our 3rd season as guests in this ex-ceptionally nice condo. We consider it our home away from home. The owners go out of their way to make us feel welcome and they make sure that everything is in good order and immaculately clean. The kitchen is very well equipped with nice dishes, good cooking utensils and plenty of space to cook if you so desire. The table in the dining room easily seats 10 and also serves my craft and sewing pro-jects. Being right on the beach is such a plus! Daily walks on the beach and watching the sunrise and sunset just can't be beat. There are plenty of good restaurants and a full service grocery store nearby. The beds are very comfortable as are the sofas in the living room. I really can't say enough about how nice this condo is. Friends who have visited us there have raved about how nice the condo is and how fortunate we are to have found such a great place to relax and enjoy our time away from home. It is our home away from home!!
Owner's Response: We're so thankful to have winter guests who love our condo, and the Seagrove area, as much as we do. It's difficult to imagine a better beach than ours or a place more comfortable than Seagrove. We very much appreciate the care you take of Sugar Dunes Condo #5, "your home away from home". Looking forward to your December arrival as we feel as though you're "family".

WOW -You really can almost touch the beach

Alabama Beachcombers Alabama & Georgia
Review Submitted: June 13, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
We stayed here in August last year, but wanted to come in Spring 08, so when late March was open, we grabbed it. This is such a great place since it's beach decor is very comfortable and is furnished with everything we could think of to make our week perfect! We like to cook, so it has many cooking items so we did not have to go out and buy any utensils. It was very clean when we arrived both times, has soft towels & sheets made up on the beds so we did not have to do that first thing, and owner was so friendly to deal with.

The great views from the windows across the LR, DR and Kitchen are just like the pictures on website-breath taking. Easy beach access from the porch makes the beach and ocean just a few steps away. We liked eatting our meals on the gulf porch and watching the dolphins swim by. Our grand kids loved seeing the dolphins swim in groups. After dinner each night, they loved chasing crabs with flashlights on the beach.

Seagrove area has great restaurants nearby (we like the Seagrove Market Cafe for lunch and Yiannis for dinner). This time we also went to Destin (20 mile) to eat a meal on the harbor front.

Our vision of the beach now is staying here, so we're thankful to have found this great place to stay, with affordable rates. We're planning our next trip back here this fall...See you then!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your feedback. We are happy our guests feel the same way we do about our wonderful Seagrove beachfront condo. Our written guest book contains many similar comments. Our condo is colorful, comfortable, family friendly and the perfect place to spend leisure time. We furnish and maintain it like the place we want to stay in while on our vacations.

We have been coming to the Destin/South Walton area for years. Last summer we were fortunate enough to stay in this fantastic townhome. It is BY FAR the best we have ever stayed. Absolutely loved it! My oldest daughter got engaged on the beach there. Unfortunately, our large group cannot go this summer....we are having a wedding! BUT,for sure plan on being there in the summer of '09!
Owner's Response: Kelly, Thanks so much for your kind words about our "piece of paradise" in Seagrove Beach. We're glad your family had such a great time and look forward to your return in 2009. Barb

Barb, your place is absolutely divine! It was perfect for 3 families and 2 little ones. We each had our own space and we were close enough to run in and out for lunch and naps. We went in to Detin one night for dinner and we were SO glad that we weren't staying there! We love the quiet and calm of Seagrove and hope to come back every year to your little slice of heaven! Thanks for sharing it with us! It was great to meet you too!
Owner's Response: Abra, Thanks for taking time to sign the guestbook with your feedback. We're pleased your family enjoyed your stay and hope you'll be back with us again soon. It was nice to meet you too!
Regards, Barb
