Kick back and take in the incredible beach and Gulf views from your furnished balcony at this comfortable, family-friendly 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 cookout, or take a stroll out to the adjacent beach. You'll find something for everyone here at Sterling Sands!

Beach getaway

Beach views are fantastic. Unit is missing a few necessities such as room darkening curtains or shades in bedrooms. Existing blinds do not block out exterior lights and it feels like daytime throughout the night. Also kitchen does not include pot holders which makes using the oven difficult. Our biggest problem was with the beach chair rental person. We understood beach chair rental was not included in our stay but we’re not aware our beach access is limited to being behind 3 rows of chairs if we didn’t choose to rent. We were told by the company we would be evicted from the property sitting at the waters edge in state owned property to watch our children in the water. He was very aggressive to our family and several others who decided not to support his company. We were told to sit at the waters edge in front of a neighboring condo or be evicted. He made several days of our trip very unpleasant and we will never stay at this condo building again. This property is managed by Vacasa and they did not help us or follow up on the beach problem or a broken dishwasher in the unit. We called 2 days in a row and were told someone was coming same day to fix it but they never arrived .Fortunately the beauty of Destin beaches made up for our unpleasant stay.

The property was as advertised. It was clean, with a few minor things that needed updating. The beds were not comfortable though. That would be my only suggestion to make the stay better!

Disappointed

I booked this location for a siblings trip due to the location. We were very pleased with the location but the unit itself fell short. There was rust on the fridge, light fixture in kitchen/master bedroom and closet railing, light in hallway bathroom flickered, doors to linen closet were broken, couch back pillow had large holes, blinds in small bedroom broken, and there were no curtains to keep the outside light out while trying to sleep at night. The balcony also had what looked like mold around the base of the doors. For the price per night on this unit, I expected better. I called about these issues and was even told someone from the property would come assess and fix the light. It was never addressed while we were there. If these issues were to be fixed I would recommend the unit, but not how it is. Do not plan on staying at this location again.

Florida Vacation

The views were great and the property was very well maintained. The only down fall we had was the security. One night after a full day I was eating a piece of pizza on the balcony enjoying the views when I noticed a guy staring at me for a substantial amount of time. Minutes later he was gone and there was a knock on our door. The security guard accused me of smoking on the balcony. I explained I was eating my pizza and he kept on. No one in my household smokes and he kept insisting that I was out there smoking. After that night I felt like he was constantly looking at us. I know he was doing his job but it definitely wasn’t coming from our balcony.

Wonderful Condo

Two of my friends, and I, stayed in 803 for our girl's way weekend. Even though it rained, everything was great. Only one elevator was working at this time, which made long waits some time for the 8th floor. The mattress in the king room needs to be updated soon, but was still manageable to sleep on. Room stayed good and cold, nice to have the small washer and dryer. The condo had everything you needed!! Would stay here again and again!

Counter tops need updating. HOA pressure on personal beach equipment seem unreasonable.

803 needs major updates

Upon checking in the kitchen counter was full of hair, ants and the countertops are coming up, the dry mat wasn’t cleaned and had a horrible smell to it, the dishwasher doesn’t stay closed unless it’s latched, the cabinets need an overhaul, bathroom in master ; cabinet is broken, mold around the door in the master bathroom. The views are stunning and the location is perfect, and enjoyed the amenities there. The unit could be much better with some renovations.

Great view

The apartment was clean. The kitchen was stocked, but would have been nice with touches like coffee filters, salt/pepper, etc. Upon arrival I found out we could not use the balcony. Great view, but hoped for this. This should have been made clear in the information.

Great view

We loved the view from the 8th floor ! The condo was pretty well equipped too. BUT - the curtain in the mater bedroom was a sheer, plastic shower curtain hot glued to the curtain rod!!! I reported it and the answer was - yeah, we need to fix that!! The blinds in the 2nd bedroom were broken.. There was a piece broken out of the vanity in the master bath, the shards of wood laying on the floor. The pots and pans were dirty and had to be scrubbed before using. The outside patio furniture was very dirty and turned a towel blacker after being wiped down after it rained. The condo wasn’t filthy but could have been cleaner. My white socks were black after walking in my stocking feet. Would we stay there again,? Yes, probably I hopes there get these issues fixed.

Good rest

Great proximity to beach, shopping, restaurants and activities. The Back Porch Restaurant is within a short walk. Nice pool. Negative is that the bedrooms are on the street side (Route 98) of the condo (instead of the water side) leading to alot of traffic noise.
