Time to Update!

Not impressed with the decline in the property appearance. Furniture does not allow for any space to even walk around the bed in the room. Floor coverings and countertops dated and worn. Scratching this one from the list.

I would definitely stay on this property again but probably would not select #815 due to the queen bedroom. Pro: The view out the balcony was beautiful. #815 overlooks the large pool and the ocean. Pro: Kitchen was great-CLEAN, plenty of pots, pans, tools, dishes, ice maker. Pro: The bathrooms were nice-we had enough towels and they were in great shape. Pro: Washer/dryer were large and newer models. Pro: Everyone who works at this property were friendly. The maintenance staff was fast, thorough and solved all our problems. The beach staff was always helpful. The pool and beach area was always kept clean. Con: The bedroom with the queen bed was so small, you literally could not walk around the bed. To get in/out of bed, you had to crawl over the person on the outside. That was a horrible situation for us as we had a mature couple with a bad back and recent knee replacement. The 2nd couple is 8 months pregnant and the husband had both hips replaced. Also, this bedroom has no closet, so the suitcases had to be stored in the hall by the front door and clothes hung in the master closet. Con: The carpets in the bedroom are threadbare at the door. As a result, little nails are sticking up through the carpet. My granddaughter and I stepped on them. A maintenance man came and repaired it quickly and said they had recommended the owner replace the carpet. Con: In the living area, there is a small couch, a coffee table and a chair. The couch felt like it had seen better days! There was little support which made it very uncomfortable to sit on. We never pulled it out for sleeping. Note-Publix and some food delivery will not deliver to these condos. We were excited to hear the local grocery store, Publix, delivers for a nominal fee. Having to run to an always crowded grocery store after a long drive is not my idea of fun. And then trying to find a cart to get all the groceries up to the condo is always difficult. We found out Publix will not deliver to these condos. We did get pizza delivered.

Best Condo In Destin

We love staying in this condo. It is beautifully decorated, has new mattresses, and a perfect view. I love grabbing one of the oversized mugs and sipping coffee on the deck. We have stayed there multiple times and everything is clean and homelike each time. Don’t forget to grab a drink from the Backporch restaurant located across the street and take it to the Sterling Shore wooden structure right on the beach. It is a great spot to see the sunset! I know this place books up quickly so don’t wait or you will miss your chance to stay in the best condo in Destin.

Great room and property but a tiny crowded beach

The room and the overall property was quite nice but it was overshadowed by the fact that it accommodates WAY more people than what can comfortably fit on the small narrow beach. The umbrellas are crammed in so tight they create a barrier between the water and the beach - only way to access the water is to squeeze under other people's umbrellas which is awkward and frustrating. And the whole front row was reserved in advance so we always ended up in the back where you really can't even see the beach very well. One night we went to enjoy the pool but no one had turned on the lights and there was a group with beer bottles lined along the pool edge, blasting mariachi music so loud we could not enjoy ourselves so we just went back to the room. One thing we did really like was the no smoking on property. Other places we've stayed we've had problems with second hand smoke in the pool, on the beach, or from neighboring balconies but we did not experience that here! We'd probably consider returning IF it weren't for the very disappointing overcrowded beach experience.

Decent condo

We have stayed at sterling shores before and loved the location it’s a. 3 min walk to the beach the pools are nice and it’s convenient to everything. This condo has everything u need but was a little run down in my opinion a lot of things were broken and half put back together but nothing was bad enough to cause a fuss about because the view from the condo was nice and we spent most of our time out anyways.

Nice Spot with Amazing View

We really enjoyed our stay here. The easy access to the beach and two swimming pools were main reasons we picked this. Wish the bigger pool was a bit more heated as it was very cold but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Rooms were fairly clean and modern. All appliances were in working order. Will recommend to others.

Better than expected

I don't know where to begin. The condo is as described. The beds were comfortable and the condo contained all the necessary items needed for my weekend trip. The view was fantastic. The condo is located within a very short distance to the beach. Within walking distance to many resturants. Short drive to many shops. Vacasa customer service called to check on us during our stay. Everything was great. We are planning another trip to destin soon and will be booking Sterling Shores.
