7th-floor beachfront condo with pool, hot tub & free beach service

Sterling Sands 702

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

Let the warm sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico (and the delicious ocean breeze) help you relax at Sterling Sands. This family-friendly condo is located on the seventh floor, and therefore grants marvelous and unparalleled ocean and beach views from all the windows and especially the furnished balcony. Wood-look tile is everywhere in this condo, allowing guests to stay cool with no carpet in sight. Central air conditioning will also help everyone stay comfortable. This balcony is the perfect place to enjoy your daily cup of steamy coffee or some snacks at night while you listen to the waves crash on the shore.

Back inside, this Gulf-front retreat boasts an open floor plan that combines the kitchen, living room, and dining area for even more togetherness with your group. The built-in wall desk is perfect for completing remote work or schooling before visiting the beautiful Emerald Coast. Let the group unwind in the living area and watch a fun movie on the mounted 65-inch flatscreen SmartTV while you treat them to delicious snacks or even a full-course meal thanks to the fully equipped kitchen - it features all modern stainless steel appliances (and beautiful granite countertops) you need to create memorable meals.

If you'd like to have a barbecue during your stay, you can use any of the several shared gas grills available in the complex. Guests will have unlimited access to great shared amenities, such as an outdoor heated pool (heated all year round), hot tub, and even a fitness center. There are two walkways that take you directly to the beach, and each has a shower and spray-off area for your body, feet, and toys.

With an unbeatable location right on the beach, the free beach service provided (two beach chairs and one umbrella) will work wonders for you! If cooking isn't really your forte, there's no need to worry - there are a plethora of nearby restaurants such as Merlins Pizza, The Back Porch, Waffle House, and so much more. A WalMart SuperCenter is less than a mile to the east, and both a Publix Grocery and a Whole Foods Market are within two-and-a-half miles to the east. The number one attraction here is the beach, of course. But roughly 150 yards north is The Track - Destin. This is the perfect place to go if you're traveling with kids; this amusement park offers go-karts, mini-golf, kiddie rides, bumper cars, and more. One and a half miles east is the Henderson Beach State Park, which is a great option if you'd like to try something other than swimming and sunbathing. Here you can ride bikes through scenic trails, try your luck at fishing, enjoy hiking, or treat your friends to a fun picnic experience.

Perfect spot on the beach

Clean property. Gorgeous view. Lived that beach service was included. The only snag we had was the codes we were provided to the beach and pool access gates were incorrect. The maintenance man ended up giving us his code since ours was incorrect. I wpuld 100% stay here again.

AWESOME BEACH VIEWS

This condo provides a comfortable place to stay on the beach and the owners are gracious enough to include the beach setup, which is much appreciated! Inside the condo you will find the basics with the kitchen appliances should you wish to stay home and cook - just bring your own spices/condiments! There is no underground parking provided for this unit but plenty of parking out front in the lot. There is a storage closet outside the unit next to the front door with some beach toys left from previous guests which came in very handy! If your goal in coming to Destin is to be on the beach with a nice place to stay, this is your place. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Favorite!

This is the second Sterling Sands condo we’ve stayed in and it’s an easy favorite! It was nice and clean and included all of the extras! This condo is sincerely a home away from home and doesn’t have all of the annoying beach decor that you typically get. We used the washer and dryer quite a bit and both worked very well. Unless we bring a large group next year, we hope to book this condo again. We had a great time and there was more than enough room for a family of four!

Perfect stay!

Our stay was perfect. The home was neat and clean and everything worked as it should. We had a problem getting the code for the door to work when we first arrived, but I called customer service and they reset the code immediately and we were able to get in! Location was also perfect!

Amazing view

I would come back in a heartbeat. The view alone is worth every penny. I found the unit clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. My only complaint is that I wished we could’ve stayed longer.

Late/unusable fitness

First of all I want to say I love the location and I have been staying at these condominiums for 11 years not the same units but the same condominiums and I will continue to come there . I expect everything to be done with the late check in and I seem to over look some issues like everything not being clean and I don’t want to be more inconvenienced by having someone come and clean while I am there, with that said The code to my unit did not work the condo was not clean as I expected the fitness center was not open the entire time I was there, mold in the shower, slow sink drain in the main bathroom, I had to use the other elevator on the other end of the property but only for one evening. However my wife and I enjoyed our anniversary as we do every year.
