Life is surely sweet on floor four of Sea Sweet!

Nestled in the heart of Destin is the Sterling Shores Resort. This top-ranked Destin resort destination is situational right on the Emerald Coast, and the 3-bedroom, 2-bath Sea Sweet condominium has one of the best spots for views of the beautiful ocean blue. Located on the fourth floor, the recently updated Sea Sweet beach condo rental accommodates up to 9 guests.

Upon entering this beautiful condo, you won’t be able to resist being drawn to the balcony where the view goes on forever. Sea Sweet overlooks the condo’s decadent community pool and the sparkling Emerald Coast just behind it. Outdoor seating will make this your favorite area for coffee, dining, or cocktails. Of course, the Florida weather makes it easy to leave the wall-to-wall sliding doors open in both the main living are and the master bedroom. Let the gulf air nourish your lungs!

Indoors, there’s lots of seating in the living space. The dining area has seating for 5, and the kitchen counter bar seats 3. Your full kitchen has everything you need to whip up snacks and meals before heading out for the day.

The beachy master unit also grants balcony access (what a way to wake up!). Enjoy the comfort of the master’s king-size bed and the private bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and ironing board.

The second guest room has a queen bed and shares the full guest bathroom. The third bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk. If you need more space, the living room sofa is a queen sleeper.

This is a perfect condo destination for families or mature groups.* When you stay at Sea Sweet, you see how sweet the sea life really is!

Sisters’ get-away

The property and location were beautiful. The site for the property said it was 4 minutes from the airport, when it was 35 minutes from the airport. When we had a small issue with the living room TV, maintenance came and got it fixed, and also came back the next day to fix a bar stool. We wished there was a bit more information provided about the area, and felt a rental car would have been a good idea, as most places were not within a walking distance. Overall, we had a very nice, comfortable stay.

Perfect place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was in a perfect location for the conference I was attending and the beach. Access to every place we wanted or needed to go was easy. Location was perfect. The condo itself is really nice minus the fact that there is carpet. The rooms are large and comfortable. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of space. The balcony was so nice I even slept out there one night. Ocean view is spectacular. Beach access is super easy. The only negative I could say is that the coffee pot didn’t work and we couldn’t find a remote to one of the bedroom TVs. The sink leaked but we didn’t notice it until a few days into our stay but maintenance was there quickly to fix it once I reported it. Overall, we had a great experience

We really enjoyed the location of this property. It had easy access to the beach, pool, and good restaurants. The view was great from the room! My only complaint is that there are too many rental chairs/umbrellas and not enough open space for personal chairs.

Woven Threads

Positives…Great location, easy beach access, bonus pool next to beach was a plus. Unit was spacious and as described. Negatives … no pot holders, needs a true skillet (used the griddle in place of skillet but hard to cook eggs on it) and artificial plants were a negative. Overall experience was positive would stay again.

Awesome place

Girls trip. Other than an issue with gate code & a few maintenance issue, which were quickly resolved I highly recommend. Great view, great location, love The Back Porch, one of our favorites. Been coming to Destin for 25+ years but never have I stayed at Sterling Shores. We most definitely will stay again & again. Oh, loved the two pools.

Impressive location

Family fun trip with the kids. The kids and adults loved the super sized pool and the condo. Great location next to beach and restaurant! Master bathroom toilet handle needs jiggled so it won’t run and kids closet door needs some attention. Kitchen well equipped! Found the wifi code 2nd day of trip posted next to ground floor elevator. Thanks for the fun stay!

Wonderful condo!

This condo was in a great location, had wonderful view of the pool, which the kids loved. Comfortable king bed. Kids liked the bunk beds. Kitchen and bathrooms nicely updated. Would definitely stay again! For owners- there were some maintenance needs- master bathroom toilet handle was broken on arrival (we partially fixed it enough to work, but will need replaced), one of the side table lamps switch was broken, the second bathroom tub was not draining properly, and the second bathroom towel rod was coming off the wall.

Perfect seaside escape

Loved the house and location. Elevator was constantly broken so we had to walk up the stairs most of the time. Check in time was super late and would recommend an earlier check in for future. Other than that super clean, super modern, very beautiful ocean view!

Vacation ruined by baseball teams

Location ….Loved it , although a little high priced. Only one elevator worked, which was a major problem getting my in laws in an out but understood the situation. Unfortunately Also, multiple baseball teams were staying at the property and basically took over the pool area like it was their own back yard. Very loud and disrespectful. Will not be coming back due to that reason.
