Great location

Sterling Sands is well maintained and in a great location! We enoyed walking to the Back Porch for meals, Big Kahuna down the street, and the arcade/track for go karts. The location can't be beat with starbucks, chik-fil a, and alvins isalnd all within walking distance. The condo itself could use a deep cleaning as we noticed excessive sand in the unit upon arriving & the dishes in the pantry were often not cleaned.

Destin Vacation

This condo was perfect for our family of 4 with two teenage girls. The second bedroom is small but was fine for us. I loved all the little extras here like hooks over doors for wet swimsuits, drying rack on balcony and 4 chairs on the balcony. The balcony view is beautiful looking directly out to the ocean. You can hear traffic in the morning from the bedrooms but walk into kitchen and you don't hear it anymore and have a great open view of the ocean. My only disappointment was the beach service, you sign up the day you get there and 1st come get front row. So we never got moved to front row and watched empty chairs every day on the front. We was just used to going down early and getting our chairs. The second row wasn't bad but would have enjoyed being on the front row a day or two. The pool was perfect and heated which was very relaxing. The condo was extremely clean, great location and well stocked. Our family had an overall perfect stay. We would definitely stay here again.

We liked this place because it didn’t have a lot of floors and people, which means not waiting long for elevators and having to be 3 rows back with the beach chairs/umbrellas, easy parking. Well maintained, family friendly.

Convenient & Accessible Beachfront

If you are looking for a property with easy access to the beach, this is it! Although 2 beach chairs with an umbrella come included, we found we rarely used them. The chairs were a bit rickety and the ocean water at the time we were there was too rough to sit in the second row of chairs and watch our young ones in the water. The pool and hot tub, however, was pure perfection. Not sure we’ll ever visit another pool that compares to the bath like temperatures of this pool! We cooked dinner every night in the condo. It was well stocked, minus scissors. Seems like an odd thing to want, but having a pair would have come in handy to cut into thing. Couldn’t find any. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was a big bonus for us. The owner was quick to communicate and helpful. There is a Target and Walmart within minutes, which we found to be helpful for groceries. Add 15 extra minutes travel time when driving on the strip. Traffic was slow every single day, especially between 12-6ish. In all this unit treated us well and was a great fit for our family!

What a view!

Wonderful view over the gulf and the beautiful white sand beach. The apartment is very comfortable and well equiped. We had heavy rain in the first half of our stay and the whole week was red flagged which meant we didn't use the beach facility but the pool was fine when the sun came out. We would have given the property a 5 star review but the floors had not been cleaned as evidenced by the soles of our bare feet and we found an empty packet of chips in one bathroom and a used vape capsule in the other. The owner was very helpful and communicative. Can definitely recommend the property if the weather plays ball!
