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 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.

Spring Break Vacay

Kim's condo made a wonderful home for my crew during Spring Break. Communication with her was great. The home was clean and had all the necessary items. We enjoyed cooking breakfast, then walking out to the beach to enjoy the beautiful blue water and white sand.. The complex was safe and secure and has pickleball, tennis and shuffleboard courts which helped keep my crew entertained. There was plenty other entertainment and food nearby, even within walking distance. I would definitely stay again!
