Wonderful location!
The condo is in the best part of Panama City Beach. Lovely view from the large balcony of both the large pool & the ocean. Definite positive that 2 chairs + umbrella are included in the rental. Some small issues - shower heads in both bathrooms had mold around them as well as some around the caulking. We cleaned as best we could & notified the owners. The kitchen sink + one of the master sink's also leaked. Kudos to the owners who put in a maintenance request to get those fixed. I don't think the cleaning staff does a great job - sand was all over the floors - so we had to sweep/vacuum/mop to get it up. AndI don't think they ever clean on the balcony. We also spent time wiping down the table +chairs There are a lot of restrictions on the property, which was clearly detailed, I'm just not sure we enjoyed some of that. As an example, nothing can be hung from the balcony railings, no food at the pool & all drinks must be 4 feet away. My nieces wanted to decorate the railings for Memorial Day to honor my 24+ years service as an Air Force Veteran. But that wasn't allowed. I think allowing decorations for holidays for a short period should be allowed; just my opinion. The beach area is great & the fact that they don't let anyone put canopys/tents in front of the chairs is a real positive. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & definitely would return.

Beautiful condo!
Very nice unit in a beautiful small complex. This is our third time staying at Sterling Beach and our second time in this unit. The pool area with the large shallow end was perfect for small children, and I love that it comes with free beach chairs for the week. I would highly recommend this condo!

Beautiful condo and building grounds!
What a beautiful condo unit and overall facility! I’d say that the pictures don’t do it justice. Things that we absolutely loved: 1) there is a lot of real estate between you and the beach: the pool, some sand dunes and lots of beautiful palm trees. Looking out from the 3rd floor, it looks like a view of an exquisite resort. 2) it was quiet… only one row of beach chairs, and not all were full. We’ve been to some places with 3+ rows and tons of people everywhere. That is not our jam. This was pleasant and nicely quiet. 3) the kitchen and counter area is HUGE and was a pleasure to cook in. 4) the facility itself is very well maintained. We used it all: pool, hot tub, fitness center, rolling carts, grills, etc. All very nice. We enjoyed it all. Thank you!

Beautiful condo in very nice complex
This is our second time staying at Sterling Beach and we love this complex - very nice pool area, not very crowded even over Fall break due to the smaller size of the complex. The staff we encountered were all very friendly. We took advantage of the fitness facilities during our stay, and although kind of small, it has a beautiful view of the pool/ocean as you workout. This condo is very spacious and clean, the kitchen well stocked with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable, it feels more like a home than a vacation rental. The owner responded very quickly to any questions or needs we had. I would highly recommend this condo and plan to return for our next vacation to PCB if it is available.

The Bomb-Diggity
This place is fantastic!!! The pictures just don’t do the property or condo the justice deserved. Hosts are first rate all the way. Both property and condo were clean, comfortable and supported a fantastic first PCB experience for our family of 5. Couple do-betters from this Texas Banker because that’s just me/us… there was a shrimp in the north stairwell that had clearly fallen out of a takeout container which was there for the entire week. I considered picking it up but decided to leave it as a test that was, unfortunately, failed. Property maintenance/mgt visited our condo 4 times during our stay; once to change air filters, twice for a closet door repair (not an issue we had noted) and finally to tell us to write in dates on our parking pass (not info included in instructions). These things should be done when no one is present or notice should be given. Additionally, it was stated that there were to be 8 pool wristbands but there were only 7 in the basket. This wasn’t an issue for us as we only used 2 wristbands one time, preferring the beach to the pool, but is worth noting to either alter the description or grab an additional band. That said, if you are considering PCB for your next vacay/get-away, it’s hard to imagine how it could get better than this!

Family Vacation
The complex was very nice with a gated parking lot and gated access to the beach. The pool was very large and had ample amount of chairs. There were security cameras everywhere and security guards walking around 24/7. The condo itself was just OK. It was very outdated compared to another condo that another Family member rented during the same time frame for the same price. The TV’s were small, the oven and microwave were disgusting, the countertops and dining room table had cuts and scratches all over them, the beds were very uncomfortable, and the floors were stained. If your not staying in the room then this would be a good condo for you. If not, then rent 407 and you will have the same amount of room but tons of upgrades.

Nice place for the money
I'll start with the negative, which appears to be a problem with just about every rental review I looked at online, not just this rental. The cleaning of the unit before we got there. Unit was well appointed. One chair was broken when we got there, but no one would know this unless you sat in it. This unit was a very good size, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. The pool was very nice and never overly crowded. The included beach chairs and umbrella was a fantastic amenity! Location was nice, not congested and was easy to get in and out of. I would definitely stay here again. I can't imagine the troubles the owners have trying to find good crews to clean in such a short time frame between renters.

Great place for families
The view was fantastic and the property had plenty of space. Washer, dryer and dishwasher were a big help with a family of my size. The pool was kept very clean and the beach is just so convenient to get to. They have two beach chairs with umbrella for those wanting to just chill out there. The balcony is so big and gives a wonderful view of the pool and beach.

Great place to stay
The condo was very nice but When we got there it was absolutely filthy like nothing had been cleaned. Dirty showers, shower curtain was black with mold. Tolit was terrible with thowup on the side of it. Sand in the beds and floor. I wasn’t going to let this ruin my vacation so I went to Walmart and purchased cleaning supplies and we cleaned it ourselves. I did call the owner and he offered to send out someone else to clean but we were tired and just got there. It wasn’t the owners fault it was just some lazy cleaning people. After I got through cleaning it was very nice. I would definitely stay here again I just hope the next cleaning people do a better job.

Great Location
We had seen some reviews that weren't great. Our original unit we booked was sold, so we booked this one. Communication was great until I sent an email with concerns about the unit. I wasn't trying to cause trouble, just wanted to let the owners know we had to clean the unit. After sending the email, I never heard back. I had to borrow a broom and mop from another unit. The broom in the condo was in bad shape and the mop was broken. I'm hoping the cleaning crew bring their own to use. I loved the size of the unit and the layout. It definitely could use some updates, but it's a great location.

Condo was great
Everything was as listed. Kitchen was loaded. Linens clean. Nice washer n dryer. Plenty of room for our party of 8. Just remember to take your own garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid and dish washer detergent.. could have had more towels. We had 7 for 8 people and washed them every day. Also 1 dishrag and dish towel but I always take extra. So we were fine. Beds were comfortable, all TVs working with remotes.
