Great location, decent lodgings

This is the second time my mom and I have stayed at Sugar Sands in the fall. We love the quiet location and the open beach. The hotel is next to a long sand dune so the beach feels very private and secluded. The hotel is older and not well maintained (the walkway to the beach needs repair, there is lots of visible wear and tear on the premise), but the room feels clean, comfortable, and quiet. The staff is friendly and helpful. While I wouldn't give it 5 stars, I would gladly return here for another quiet beach vacation.

Family getaway

This was a nice quite place to stay. The rooms could have been a little bigger and they need to purchase more towels to have on hand. Other than that we have no complaints. The staff was very nice. Very easy check in and out. Nice beach location with private access and nice pool. Close to everything. Would stay again.

Stunning view

We had such a wonderful time staying at this rental. It is a little older, but for us, we didn’t mind at all when we considered the location on the beach in a quieter part of town, the incredible view and heated pool. We woke up to the sound of the ocean and just enjoyed every minute of our stay. Loved having a kitchen too. Would come back again!

Adequate beachside stay

Nothing fancy but totally fine. The room was clean, but hard to keep that way with a sandy balcony and no rugs or broom. No glasses at all—we had to go out and buy margarita glasses—but other basics were supplied. The pool seemed fun for kids and the beach access was awesome! Beware of the additional $81 resort fee, and be ready for a long check-in process. Don’t count on any restaurants within walking distance. Otherwise if you’re just looking for a place to sleep at a gorgeous beach, this place will work just fine!

Horrible stay

The sugar sands motel is old and out dated. We had no room service even after asking several times. We had to use the pool towels and change the dirty sheets on the beds ourselves after going to the office to get them. The ice and coke machine did not work. The staff was rude and did not help with anything and did not care to either.

Hotel not a condo

VRBO somehow switched our reservation to reservations@roompick.com and did not disclose this. Dealing with Roompick was a bit nebulous. Also, the sign outside states the facility is a hotel along with a vacancy sign, which indicates it is a hotel. The filters we set were condos, beach front, etc., and we were disappointed with the facility as a whole. The building on the left side of the office definitely needs upgrading, painting, etc., definitely dated.

Needs LOTS of improvements

The ceilings of balcony’s have huge holes and lots of missing concrete. Same goes for walls near staircases/elevators. Single ice machine for both buildings and did not work at all one day of our stay, drink machine not working and not stocked at all during the 5 day stay. The sinks are stopped up and not draining, WiFi in the room is non-existent. Was to have a single cleaning during the stay but never did and towels not changed, had to go to front desk and ask for new ones. Elevator is extremely hot, zero circulation and if someone were to get Stuck in it they would pass out. All fire equipment on the walls was held together by silicone adhesive. Things at this complex are way below par and safety standards.
