Elegantly-appointed condo at the beach with Gulf views & pool

Sterling Sands 810

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Step out onto your furnished balcony and watch the beach come alive as the sun rises over the Gulf of Mexico. Prepare full meals in your well-equipped kitchen, or just cool off in the air conditioning in this elegantly-appointed rental. Pop on your pool bands and head down to the shared, heated pool, enjoy a soak in the pool spa, or work up a sweat in the fitness room. There's a little something for everyone at Sterling Sands!

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.

Things to Know

Location!

The location and pool were the best I can say. The condo itself is in need of many repairs and updates. The balcony overlooking the beach was nice but difficult to see through the glass railing.

gorgeous view

This property was amazing. we loved the location--close to family activities and feet away from the beach. it was super clean and looked exactly like the online pictures. only complaint is the checkin time and not being able to use your own beach umbrellas. It would be nice to include beach chairs/umbrellas with the stay. other than that it was a wonderful trip and we will definitely be back. Would even love to rent the same unit,

Love the complex

Nice, clean complex. Great views. This unit needs repairs and updates. The beds were very comfortable, but living room furniture was not. Most of the electrical outlets were loose or didn't work. None of the interior doors function properly.

Pick a different unit

Sterling Sands is a great small property with good amenities, however unit 810 needs some major work. If you're staying a couple nights it's probably acceptable, but for a long stay like mine, too many little things add up to make it unacceptable.

Great location

This condo is in a great location, gulf front and walking distance to the Back Porch restaurant, the Track, Big Kahunas. Beautiful views, larger balcony than other condos we've stayed in. Overall the condo was clean. The small things-light switches/plates, door knobs, etc could be cleaner. The master bed was comfy. The other beds, not as much. The pool was nice, as was the beach service. All Sterling Sands personnel were friendly and helpful. Vacasa is the rental managing company. They could communicate better with the actual property as there were some discrepancies. All were resolved by the HOA staff on site. It was a beautiful stay and we enjoyed it! We would stay at this location again.

Many issues with the management

Condo was clean and nice. Cabinet doors loose. Light shot in shower and kitchen while in shower contacted management. 5-6 total hours on the second day maintenance was in condo on second day. Maintenance stated it was wiring and needed to be fixed due to “water and electricity not good.” In addition they decided to change all lights over sinks in all bathrooms. He was insistent that he needed in my bathroom while I was getting ready for dinner. I felt rushed. When we returned from dinner at 7:00ish he told us it was done and there was a mess. There was dirt and Sheetrock all over our toothbrush, toiletries, and sink. They had no respect for our items at all. They left it dirty and who knows what all was on there. The floor had wires and dirt. Upon check-in they told us the pool was closed! Had I known that I’d went elsewhere. After the second day locked access that was close to the beach due to beached closed. Also there was no place to wash sand off once that was closed. Paint thinner and paint in the door which made my throat hurt. One chair had the rockers in the seat. Huge bug stuck to the ceiling dead! Had to be there a while in entry way. Condo and shower clean over all. Decent beds and couch. Roomy and great access to the beach. Beach quiet, clean, and beautiful. I will think twice before renting from Vacasa management property.

Absolutely Perfect

We loved everything about Destin, FL and the condo was everything we had hoped for. Very,very clean and spacious. Awesome location, steps from the pool and ocean. 8th floor was perfect for views. You can see the sunrise and sunsets from the balcony. Balcony furniture was comfortable. Jetted tub was amazing. Shower was big and nice. Vacasa was a pleasure to work through. They definitely exceeded any expectations. Would definitely go back to this exact location, love it!!

beautiful beach and property

The only problem we had was they were painting the building and it got all over our cars. The washed them once and we had to leave before we could get them washed and cleaned again. They did not do anything to keep our cars from getting paint on them.

Good location bad Condo

I’ve stayed at Sterling Sands multiple times and love the pool, location and proximity to the beach, but this condo was the worst I have ever stayed in. What kind of in general is clean but the rugs and couch were filthy, there was mold in the bathrooms and on the balcony and the kitchen was barely stocked.
