Kick back and take in the incredible beach and Gulf views from your furnished balcony at this corner condo on the Panhandle. Slip on your provided pool bands and head downstairs for a swim in the shared, heated pool, work up a sweat in the fitness room, fire up one of the shared grills and enjoy a family cookout, or take a stroll out to the adjacent beach. You'll find something for everyone here at Sterling Sands!

Perfect beach vacation

The property is in the perfect location, across the road from souvenir shops and places to eat and very convenient drive to the harbor. The condo was clean and nicely decorated and has easy access to pool and beach. The beach and pool were very clean and well maintained. There were only a few minor inconveniences, that did not hinder the wonderful time that we had, first one was the couch was broken and a little uncomfortable, but we weren't in the condo a lot so not a huge deal, the second being that the en suite bathroom needed water added to the toilet tank to flush completely, the 3rd being the 2 smaller chairs on the balcony were ripped. Those few small things were so small and we plan on making Destin an annual vacation!

Beautiful condo, minor fixes needed

This is a beautiful condo with nice decor, beautiful view of the ocean. Condo needs new furniture in the living room, current furniture dips down. Horrible smell in garbage disposal, leaking fridge, stain on cover in master bedroom, bedroom fans falling, and detached headboard in guest bathroom. All minor fixes, other than noted issues condo was great.

Great view, good looking unit, needs some functional updates.

The view was great, the unit was pretty but we had some issue's. Check in was very "hands off" and we had some challenges getting questions answered upon our arrival. Didnt know we had to visit HOA office for parking pass and wristbands. We're smokers and felt we were ostracized by having to smoke at "the bus stop" on 98. We called it "working the corner". Theyre VERY STRICT about it. The unit has a leak at the sink. We parked the sponge next to the faucet, that collected the water. The fridge developed a leek, that appeared occasionally. The couch was pretty worn out and ha exposed partical board on the left bottom front. The jets in the soaker tub never worked. The front bedroom faces the street and the hallway is alwats illimunated....so was tge bedroom! The shutters didn't block the light. You need black out curtains in that room. Also we received our check out instructions from Vacasa when we were 2 hours diwn the road. Hope they forgive us for not stripping the beds! The beach and chair service was great. The pool was clean and comfortable.

Beach getaway

I was impressed with the details sent through email that made me feel like I did not need to contact them during my stay. The rental was spacious and open. The short trip to the beach and pool was much appreciated by my kids. I also loved that the owners had a guest book for people to sign and games available for us to use.

Great property

We've stayed at multiple properties at Sterling Sands and have been happy with all of them. This room had complimentary beach chairs/umbrella included which was such a nice surprise. A little gesture that goes a long way! We would highly recommend!

Great place

Was clean, close to good restaurants, great veiw, pretty much everything you need in kitchen. Everything worked as it should. The chairs reserved on the beach was a nice touch to walk down and they would tell you where your chairs and umbrella was each day. Had a sink drain leak in kitchen called front desk and got it repaired promptly. My family wanted to book for next yr on the way home. We used the washer and dryer a couple times to clean swimsuits. We really enjoyed the stay for a week. There was some painting being done outside on the structure, had a little area of parking to separate for equipment there was still plenty of parking with no issues. Beach was beautiful, looking forward to going back.
