Escape to the Emerald Coast at this family-friendly condo at the beach. Relax and enjoy the view from your furnished balcony, prepare meals in your well-equipped kitchen, or just kick back and watch your favorite movies or TV shows on one of the flat screen TVs. Guests of this rental will also enjoy access to a shared pool, pool spa, fitness room, and an outdoor dining area, just perfect for family cookouts!

While the beach is just steps from your rental, you'll find even more opportunities for fun in the sun at places like the Track where you can hop in a go-kart, play mini-golf, or brave the SkyFlyer, located right across the street. Race down some incredible water slides at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, less than a mile west. Or head to Henderson Beach State Park, a mile-and-a-half east, where you can hike the nature trail, do a little fishing, or relax on the warm sands.

Girls retreat!

I loved the view and the balcony. If we wasn't on the beach, we were sitting on the balcony watching the ocean tides. The condo was roomy for 2 and the kitchen was well stocked and roomy as well. The decor was a beachy theme and was cute. The 2nd bedroom was a little small and would have been a little cramp for 2 people to share. The condo is a short drive to the stores ( walmart, target, etc.) I would come and stay at this unit again. I so loved the view!

Too pricy

Be sure to read the fine print. We had an additional $60 to pay for resort fee in addition to the rental. Not a good value for the money.

Breath Taking Views! Excellent Location - But...

We did enjoy our 11 night stay, the views are breath taking and the location is excellent. Property seems managed well-parking lot clean and on site security is a plus. The unit could use some improvements. The master bed is in serious need of replacement - very uncomfortable. There were stains on the master sheet. The master bath tub does not drain well. The washer was dirty and could not do laundry as it got black yuck on the clothes. Floor rugs are dirty. The balcony glass was dirty and had foot prints from previous rents all over. That said, the kitchen and appliances were very clean and well stocked. We did enjoy our stay - location and views can not be beat in Destin!

Beautiful condo!!

My husband and I loved this condo. it was clean, nice, comfortable with a wonderful view! It is however an HOA, which I didn't realize when I booked, so there are some strict rules. I would reccomend reading the HOA rules before booking. I would reccomend this condo

Don’t go

Overall condo was nice except jetted tub was grungy and didn’t drain properly, kitchen needs pizza and baking sheet pans. I would not recommend Sterling Sands because of their beach situation. We were not allowed to sit near the water and were moved like second class guests to behind the rentable umbrellas and chairs. No one mentioned the requirement to rent umbrellas and tables in order to sit beachfront either when we booked or checked in.

Room 804

We loved the view and location but the condo was not worth the money. The staff was quick to handle a few concerns but wasn’t worth going through everything we were disappointed in. No cutting board, nasty pots, no skillet, no broom and pan, no spatula, front stove top didn’t work, AC would stay at 70 even though it was set to 68. Others in the beach, had the same issues. Time to update.

Great located - Not great room

This single condo unit needs updating badly. There was so much rust, dry rot, and mold. We normally love staying at Sterling Sands- but this condo unit was a stark difference in quality compared to the other ones in it. We would not stay in this room again.

okay

Property was clean furnished well and for the most part pretty well stocked. However, could replace refrigerator all rusted on side next to the cooking surface. Maintenance, left a lot to be desired. Called front office upon arrival to complain about a couple of issues that could have been easily resolved. Seven days later, no one bothered to call or show up. WE WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN! MAY NOT STAY AT ANOHER VACASA MANAGED PRPOPERTY!

Great location! Great Views! Comfortable bed! Top floor!

This was a great location- right in the center of everything in Destin. (If you’re wanting secluded this is not the place for you) But we enjoyed being able to walk across the street to Alvin’s and to play putt putt. The view from the balcony was perfect! Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. Beds were comfortable. Beach area was nice. Bad seaweed the first day, but clear and beautiful the rest. Top 8th floor so nobody making noise above you. Would stay here again! Areas of refinement: Pull out sofa is not comfortable at all. But we didn’t need it. If a kiddo is on it, prob fine. An adult- would have backache. Some important basics were missing from the kitchen: no Skillet, no spatula, no butter knives, no potholders We made do with what we had. But might consider adding those items. We had a great time and would return!

A lovely view

A breathtaking view as soon as you walk in . Beds were comfy . Condo was very clean. If I had anything negative I’d say a few more amenities for your guest. More towels and a bit of your personal touch. It didn’t seem to have that . Overall it was a very nice stay and I would stay there again. Also my son and his girlfriend got engaged at the beach so it’s special to us now .

Nice location, easy to work with

The view from this unit is stunning. Lots of space. Kitchen and beds could use a little refresh but everything was clean and functional. The condos were nice and quiet and check in/out was smooth. No complaints-lovely vacation.

Good Location and Clean

Stayed here for a workcation. The property and location was good. The condo could use some maintenance. The electrical was not good. Some of the outlets wouldn’t work and the lights would dim up and down on their own. The place was clean however their was some staining in the showers (prob just from age) and rust on some areas throughout the condo.
