Wonderful!

The condo has beautiful view of pool and ocean! We were thrilled to see dolphins from the balcony! The condo is spacious, very clean and well stocked. The grounds are very pretty and we like the gated parking lot. This was our second stay at Sterling Shores and we are looking to book again in the spring.

Exceeded our expectations

Everything about this place exceeded our expectations! Condo was clean and set up well with plenty of amenities, such as the chairs & wagon to use at the beach (we used them every day!). Kitchen stocked and laundry was great to have. Proximity to elevators and getting around was easy! I was nervous about this condo building not being right on the beach, but across a street. The set up was way better than I ever anticipated! Easy walk down to the pool and also easy getting across to the beach. All private for owners & guests, including the beach. Pool/condo grounds were all gated. Crowd of people around us was good. No nonsense and just other people and families trying to enjoy Destin! There were always chairs by the pool and it was never more crowded than expected. Right next door to the best place to eat in town - The Back Porch. I give this 5 stars and would book Sterling Shores again #517 in a heart beat.

Christmas stay

We had a pretty good stay from Dec. 24-28. We could have used a little more info about the place beforehand since no one was there on 24th or 25th. The main pool is not heated, it's a small one across the street, beach access too.condo 517 was clean and has a good view. We went to the palms coffee house every morning for breakfast. Great food, drink and service. It's across the street. I will stay here again. Thanks!
