This condo had everything. Lots of pots and pans and casserole dishes. Awesome sheets and blank...

The view is outstanding. Also lots of viewing options on the tv, when it was needed. Overall stay was perfect. Also it came with a garage parking space right by the elevator. Would stay here again!

Great Little Place

For two adults and two young kids, this place was perfect. Very close easy access to the beach, and the pool was nice also. Amenities in the house were nice enough, everything worked well and suited our needs. This place may be a little cramped with 4 adults and all their belongings, but for us it was just right.

First trip to Destin Florida

This was our very first trip to Destin, this condo met our expectations! We absolutely loved the view from the condo, the pool was amazingly warm. The covered parking was so nice our vehicle was never hot. Having two bedrooms and two bathrooms was so nice. We can’t wait to go back!

Overall, a nice place to stay

The location is great and we had a great view. I was a little disappointed because I called before I booked and asked if the rooms included beach chairs and umbrellas and was told yes, but our room didn’t include them so I had to pay extra.

Awesome

The condo is beautiful. We had a beachfront view that was amazing. It was clean no issues, checkin process was simple. The kitchen & bathrooms are a nice size and had everything we needed & were very clean. Its located on a strip thats convenient to walmart & other restaurants. The outlet was 15 mins away.. perfect condo & location and will definitely be booking again.

Perfect for our needs

Two parents and one 8 year old. Could it use some updates? Yes. The dishwasher and clothing washer/dryer are VERY LOUD. If you’re looking for the latest greatest keep looking. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable quieter than some of those huge complexes place right on the beach with a garage parking spot? This is your number 1! Checks off a lot of boxes for a small family quick getaway

It was ok

The view was worth the trip! I love that you can walk off the property and onto the beach. The pool is an excellent size with adequate seating. The fitness center was tiny, so get in EARLY or late in the day! The beds were uncomfortable; my daughter slept on the couch, which was nice. You have all the bare necessities! Caution when using the washer: Leave the unit when you turn it on! It was so loud we couldn't talk and hear each other. Check-in and out is super easy and an excellent property for ALL the little kids and families

Misinformation

Didn't realize the property was so private.Didnt know we would have to rent chairs and umbrellas when we got there and then have to pay extra for brackets once there.Snakes were around the pool area.Water seaping in the kitchen floor.I guess it was too private for our life style.

Unit needs some TLC.

We love the location of the Sterling Sands building. You literally can’t beat it. This unit fell a bit flat for us - just needs some major updates and some TLC. It was fine, but just needs some details to make it really pack a punch! It’s got great potential. Get rid of cable and get a fire stick for each TV / smart TV, replace lightbulbs that are out, repaint in some areas, add some plugs that are in a convenient location, popcorn ceiling coming off in spots, update furniture (everything is upholstered and we were nervous wrecks about the sand and chlorine + having 2 kids stain something), l cabinet paint chipping off, etc. The insides of the cabinets were really icky in some spots - we cleaned quite a bit while we were there. Like I said, we love the location, but this unit needs a little love.
