About this property

HUGE POOL LAGOON!!Sterling Shores 303 - 189766

Welcome to Sterling Shores 303

Let me tell you about this beach beauty at Sterling Shores. First let me give you the “411” on Sterling Shores. When they call a pool a lagoon pool that means “BIG” and this one’s big and a half. It’s 4,300 square feet but that’s only the beginning. They’ve put all kinds of lush tropical plants and trees around the pool. There’s even a kids’ pool right there. But that’s only the start, look beyond the pool and you see what you came for in the first place. Gorgeous white sand beach that looks like sugar and emerald green waters that go on as far as the eye can see.

The great thing about Sterling Shores is that there’s a lot more than just the beach and the pool. There’s a fully equipped fitness room, a movie theater, DVD rentals, a Gas Barbecue grill by the pool, kid’s activities, and a whole lot more.

This place has got it going on right from the time you walk in the door. The entry’s big enough to park your beach toys, flip-flops and golf clubs. And the place is decorated really nicely. I’ve put some pictures in here so you can see. Just look at the dining area. Big table if you want to eat in. (with all the great restaurants you probably won’t) The living area’s really comfortable, too. Look at that entertainment center! It’s got a big TV, with a DVD you can watch your favorite movies if you’re kinda beached out. Or you can surf the internet because we’ve got high speed all over the place here.

The floor to ceiling sliders open out to the balcony. Step out there and you’re not gonna want to come back in. I took a couple of pictures of the pool and the beach. Really something

The MASTER BEDROOM’s got this great big king size bed. It’s a four poster and it’s a beauty. Plus there’s a private bath with a garden tub that’s all yours. The decor is really toned down so that you can relax in this room. It’s got plenty of closet space for all your stuff. You get the full cable package on the TV just like in the living room. You can even surf the web from here.

The SECOND MASTER has a really comfortable queen bed and plenty of space for everything you’ve brought to the beach. TV’s got the cable package too. The bathrooms a little smaller but it’s got everything you need. Surf the web from here too.

The THIRD BEDROOM is a kid-friendly suite with comfortable twin beds and enough area for the kids to get lost for awhile.

The KITCHEN has plenty of room to fix your meals and a diner bar so that you can grab a quick bite without messing up the Dining table

The DINING AREA’s got a nice big table so you can enjoy meals together when you’re not lying on your favorite pool chair down by the pool.

The LAUNDRY area is located to make keeping everyone in clean clothes a breeze.

This place will sleep 8 comfortably. It’s a good size for a couple of couples or a small family.

You must be at least 25 years of age to rent this property. During Spring Break , the minimum acceptable ratio is one (1) person 25 years of age for every two (2) persons under 25 years of age.

Comfortable Condo
The condo has three comfortable bedrooms that accommodated my family of six very nicely. The condo was clean with plenty of towels, pillows and the essentials to clean dishes. They even had a few games and books in the tv cabinet. The property has two pools and access to the beautiful emerald coast beach. We look forward to visiting again.

Nice place. Good location.
Check in was great, place was nice, but was given the wrong gate code, the garbage disposal didn’t work and the bathroom sink was clogged, but maintenance fixed those very quickly. Bring your own paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags. Overall, we were very happy and had a wonderful stay.

Pleased
Location is GREAT. There was a quaint, hominess to the condo. It was inviting and comfortable. View from the balcony was super. Especially during the morning and evening sunset. Looking out at the gulf was a wonderful experience. I only had one issue. In the bedroom with the full size bed...there were small ant like bugs crawling on the dresser. If that issue is taken care of...I would definitely rent there again.

Awesome unit for the price.
Overall this unit is a steal. The view is not bad for a third floor unit. Great size inside with a large balcony. The unit was clean and well cared for. There were approximately 12 remotes in the living room, only one seemed to do anything. Which more than anything comical, but frustrating the few times we did actually attempt to watch tv. (never could figure out living room t.v.). Would be an easy fix if addressed.

This condo was no was no what we expected
We expected a lazy river pool. The condo was very dirty. The master bathtub was gross. When I filled it up it had black stuff all it that came out of the vents. They didn’t have xtra toilet paper. Only had the one on rolls and not even new rolls. There was not a plunger. The couches smelt musty. The master closet smelt musty. I wouldn’t place my clothes in the closet. I travel all over the world and this is the worst experience I have stayed in. I much rather have stayed in a hotel.

Wonderful location
Great location and this unit is well-equipped with kitchen dishes. Communication prior to and for check-in was problematic. The man downstairs, who apparently wasn’t in charge of my booking, was rude and angry that I would even ask for help. It seems like there should be ONE management system for the property with an on-site representative. Once I finally got in contact with the right property manager, she was helpful and pleasant; however, how to contact needs to be clarified for visitors. We love the location and beach, but again information regarding chairs/umbrellas seemed unorganized and based on tips. There should be a number to call or streamlined online booking for chairs or perhaps included with the units. The unit itself is nice and the beach can’t be beat. Better organization and communication on site by management would make the experience more pleasant and consistent.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
We stayed here from 7/27 through 7/31. I sent the owner THREE MESSAGES leading up to our trip, yes THREE; never got a single response from them (have yet to hear from them). Had several questions regarding the facilities and accommodations. When we arrived (with a family of eight) the oven didn't work. The reason we rented a condo was so we could cook the majority of our meals there and not have to eat out mult times each day. Again, we could not get ahold of anybody. After day three we finally spoke to the property manager and were told we were essentially out of luck with getting the oven fixed/replaced. They refunded us two hundred dollars for meals. You can imagine how far two hundred dollars will feed a party of eight in a town like Destin. Needless to say, there are so many accommodations available on VRBO to choose from, KEEP LOOKING!! If you have an issue with the accommodations etc, you are not going to be able to get a response, will be out of pocket on additional expenses. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!! KEEP LOOKING!!!!!

Sterling Shores 303: Rumors of its demise are greatly exaggerated
I was a little apprehensive about 303 based on the (dated) reviews here but this place was great. the space was perfect for our family (4 kids). super easy access to the beach and the back porch, if that's your thing. There were plenty of dishes and towels for the stay and the in-unit w/d was pretty new and worked well. The space was great, but a few things brought the score to 4 stars: 1. little things just need to be addressed to be 5 star such as..there's no screen on the main screen door (from the living room) to the balcony so although the bugs aren't terrible, you can't leave the door open all the time and frankly the sliding glass door is heavy for kids. The unit also has a LOT of fake plants and these fake plants need to be dusted (or thrown away). the couch and leather seats are just old and the patio furniture is run down. there's also a lot of family photos in the house which is just odd, I think. as far as the resort goes. the big pool is impressive but obviously you can't swim there in the spring. Sterling Shores heated pool was fine for the afternoon swim as long as you got there before the meatheads started drinking too much and dancing, that's when it was time to get out. I think the security guy wanted to do something but he just let them party. Location was great if you needed to run out, very convenient to everything and also very close to the amusement park for bigger kids. we did see some dolphins so that was cool. Final Verdict: rent this place. for the value and location you can't beat it and we would stay here again if we come back to Destin.

Great Resort - Condo TERRIBLE
I have stayed at Sterling Resorts since it was opened - this is by far the WORST condo that we have ever stayed in. It's like the owners want to own a condo but they do not want to maintain it. it was dirty - not dirty like the housekeeping wasn't doing their job, just dirty like neglected - curtains, baseboards, shower tile - nasty and worn. No pot holders, no cookie sheets,- but there are at least 4 cork screws for wine - two back burners on the stove top don't work and all the burners are lopsided and heat unevenly luckily we had friends in 214 (WHICH WAS A BEAUTIFUL, WELL MAINTAINED CONDO) and we were able to use their stove when we all ate meals together the couch sags in the middle - I was told it had just been replaced, it was apparently replaced with a used couch. In the master bedroom the big walk-in closet is used as the owners old furniture storage - old dressers, shelves, etc. littered the whole closet. Beds are worn and uncomfortable - front bedroom has no ceiling fan and because it is so packed with furniture there is no circulation so you can't even use the room because it's so hot. The kitchen drawers are stained and dirty. Also there are about 5 remotes for the living room and NO BATTERIES or backs for any of them - I had to purchase batteries and then figure out which remote belonged to what - same for the master bedroom - I have never had to purchase batteries for a remote - also toilet stopped up at least once a day and the master bathroom sink drained so slow that every time I brushed my teeth I had to plunge and and all the black silt came up until it cleared. I would not recommend this condo to anyone - again, Sterling Shores is a great, great complex and most owners have pride and want to/are able to take care of their property, - these owners clearly just want rental income.
