This charming beach retreat is at the Sterling Shores Resort. The soft white sand, clear turquoise water, and nearby activities will provide a vacation you will never forget. This condo has 2 bedrooms, each with an attached full bathroom and a queen sleeper sofa with a mattress topper for extra comfort. Vacasa staff are located in the ground-floor office to assist with any questions or issues during your visit.

The primary bedroom has a queen bed, an attached bathroom, and a large Jacuzzi tub/shower. The second bedroom has a full bed with its own attached full bathroom. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans, blackout curtains, TVs, and DVD players.
The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a blender, toaster, and Keurig duo coffee maker that uses K-Cups or ground coffee. Four large gas grills are located near the pool.

The living room has a smart TV with streaming apps (you must use your own account to access them), a queen sleeper sofa, two reclining chairs, and a ceiling fan.
The dining table has seating for six, but there are also three bar seats for extra space.

The balcony has a high-top table for unobstructed views of the white sand beach, Gulf, and sunsets. Plus, two patio chairs and a chaise lounge.
The hall closet has a folding wagon for guests to use, and there may be some chairs and beach/pool toys you can use. Please clean the sand off before returning them to the closet.

This property features a lagoon-style pool and a smaller pool by the beach (heated in the winter). Seasonal drink/snack shack by the small pool or an easy walk to the Sand Bar for great food/drinks and live music in the summer (located on the beach at the condo complex to the east). Take out food/drinks from the Back Porch and get sweet treats from the Candymaker.

Sterling Shores is located just off Highway 98, but the condo is well-insulated, so traffic noise is not a problem. It is a short walk to delicious restaurants like 790 Gulf and The Back Porch.

706 - must stay spot

Really appreciative of the wagon in the closet, as a mother of three little girls and a husband who was working, this was truly a life savor. HUGE washer and dryer, such a nice and appreciated commodity. since it is right by the elevator, i highly recommend including or bringing a sound machine, it gets loud at night, especially for little ones. definitely needs a pair of scissors.

Great Memorial Day weekend getaway

The condo was adequate. The hallway bathroom was a little disturbing for the kids because of the bedroom door not having a lock and all that kid stuff. AC was on spot and worked flawlessly. Nice to come into a cool condo after long hot days. We really enjoyed our stay. There was some disruption with only 1 of the 2 elevators working. Had to use the stairs several times which was a haul up to the 7th floor. Had to put a lil thought into when to try to go down.

Nice stay good views of the gulf

Overall a positive experience, short walk to the beach,close to groceries and restaurants. Resort is very well maintained and beautiful to walk around, feels safe and secure. Full marks to Vacasa. Only thing to note of you are an extremely light sleeper the condo is right across the elevator which is a bit noisy. Kitchen was fully stocked and we loved that as we cooked all our meals. Laundry machines seemed brand new and we had a very nice stay and will definitely come back it was good value for money overall and except the elevator noise no complaints at all.

#706 Needs updates

Both bathrooms shower water faucets needs to be replaced. They were very hard to turn on. The sliding door to bathroom in bed room #2 wouldn’t close all the way and you could see through door on both sides. I recommend replacing it with a different door for privacy between bedroom & bathroom. The washer machine made lots of thumping noise when I did small load of towels. It also smelled like mildew/mold. After finding that out with my first load I didn’t use it again. Washer machine may need to be replaced or repaired. Overall, the unit was clean & we enjoyed our stay at sterling shore.
