Comfortable Stay
The location was great. The walk to the beach was easy but highly recommend taking a wagon. The property was clean, water pressure great. The only things I would recommend are having a covering on the front door glass and update listing to note that there is not a direct connection from the house to the pool area. In other words, you have to go out the front door to the side gate to get to the pool. You cannot go discreetly from the pool area to inside the house. But it is not a deal breaker just wished we were advised ahead of time . Overall, property was excellent.

never enough time at the Sugar Shack
We loved this property. The home is so cozy, beautiful, and a short walk to the beach. We wished we would have booked longer because we were not ready to leave! The private pool was wonderful to chill out in after a long hot day in the sand

We had a great experience. The house was very nice and we loved the pool. However, the only problems we had was there was no light for the pool. After messaging them, nikki responded quickly and had a light up the very next day. Thank you nikki

Great family getaway
Check in was easy! Place was easy to find as well! We decided to extend our stay that was an easy process as well. Beds were comfy! Only thing i will say was the pool area at night was really dark! Easy access to the beach! Can't wait to come back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the Sugar Shack. Parking was our only problem. We did have an issue opening and closing the gate to the outside shower. The outside shower also had 3 boards that were right under the shower that could be an issue as it was a bit unstable.

Great property with amazingly close access to beach and couldn’t think of a single thing missing from this place. They did a great job making sure their guests wouldn’t need a single thing.

AC went out in middle of stay
From the start of this trip the AC was very loud. On day Friday we called maintenance. They sent the management company out. He couldn't fix so called the AC co. They said they would have to get a part. The following day, after a huge crash the entire AC blew. The management company would not answer the call even after 9am. When we went to the office after an hour and a half basically we were told they were sold out and we could just go home. She said they would reimburse us for our last night since we would not be staying there and continueally made a very disingenuous I'm sorry ther is nothing I can do. After several minutes of shear disbelief, out came an either a manager or owner who actually could tell our frustration and her employees poor response. She actually found us a nice home for the last night which was very nice, and we were grateful! Overall this home would have been good, but sleeping through 3 nights of extremely loud noise and extremely hot night and full day was unbearable.

Sugar Shack Not So Sweet
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was clean and neat with updated Kitchen and appliances. It has a private pool that was nice. There is construction next door that is literally on the property line. We had to keep blinds closed as construction workers could actually see in the windows. During the week it was loud and they were on ladders over the pool area. There were screws and nails all around the pool and in the pool. We were told there was a view of ponds and all we could see was a huge construction dumpster and piles of dirt. The rental staff was curt and not pleasant to deal with. For us it was also too far from the beach. We have traveled to this area for years and there are too many better locations to choose from.

Wonderful Mother's Day
My family and I stayed here to celebrate Mother's Day. The home was perfect for all five adults and three children. You can tell the home is well taken care of and stocked with everything we needed. There is easy access to the beach and the private pool was perfect! We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were a lot of masquitos and would have been great if the beach house had bug spray. We did bring OFF to spray on us, but there were a lot of masquitos in the home. There were also a lot of spiderwebs on the backyard furniture. The describtion on what to bring needs to be updated for this home. We brought a lot of extra stuff for our stay that we could have left at home:-). The home was very lovely! Great job on decor! It was nice to get away with family too.

Nice house- wouldn’t choose it again
The house was clean and beautifully decorated. It’s an easy walk to the beach, but the road noise from the highway made sitting outside uncomfortable. The second morning we were there we woke to find the kitchen counters covered in ants. Thankfully there were ant traps in a drawer we were able to use. Bring more towels if you have a large family. They provided a few but not enough for our group. Parking was difficult. The driveway was super narrow and if we pulled all the way up (so the back of our vehicle was out of the street) we blocked the entrance to the pool. Lots of little inconveniences make this rental one we wouldn’t choose again.

Already planning to stay there again!
Overall we loved the house! We want to stay there again! It’s perfect for a weekend away with family and friends! We weren’t expecting for the rooms to be as small as they were. The photos made them look a little bigger than they actually are. We traveled with our 12 month old, and only 1 room comfortably fit the pack-and-play. Past reviews stated cockroaches and poor outdoor lighting...I am happy to report no bugs and party lights have been added outside! You won’t regret booking this house! It was a very quick drive to the beach, and it wasn’t a hassle!

Sugar Shack Review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a decent stay. But honestly I wouldn’t recommend the home to anyone else unless things were fixed. The location isn’t terrible, but the road noise is less than desirable (more privacy plants might be helpful).The main issues were: Master bath shower handle broken and not fixed the entire week, mildew smell in master bath (growing outside deck wall), no heat in pool, no lighting in pool (to dark to swim at night), no beach gear provided to enjoy time on beach. Important when you fly from a far distance. Limited number of bathroom towels (problematic with larger family group), no laundry soap, no beach towels (again, inconvenient when you are traveling from afar). Inside was clean, but lint trap in the dryer had serious buildup (at least several months worth) = fire hazard. Outside looked nice but spiders etc. covered pool gate and area. Perhaps a pest control company would be helpful. The inside decor was adorable, but honestly you can ‘put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.’
