About this property

Sterling Sands 313 Gulf Front 2B/2B-Updated w/Free Beach Service/Covered Parking

Sterling Sands 313.
Popular rental that's not available year round, VERY CLEAN, fully stocked and recently updated with lots of extras included (Beach Service, beach towels, in unit ice machine, covered parking).

Beach Service included in all March through October rentals - 2 chairs and 1 umbrella setup daily (value of $36 per day / $224 per week). Personal umbrellas are not allowed by our HOA on the beach during this time so this is a great perk!

Well maintained - WIFI and covered garage parking space included.

Our view is absolutely amazing! The balcony runs the entire length of the unit and has glass and metal rails rather than spindles for an unobstructed view of the sugary sand beach and the emerald coast. In addition to the unbeatable view, this spacious Sterling Sands 2 bed/2 bath, 1,200 square foot condo provides visitors with a stunning interior filled with all of your needs and more!

The unit is located on the 3rd Floor of the building – the main level is covered parking and we have a dedicated parking space near the west side elevator included with the rental. There is plenty of additional parking in the front of the building.

Sterling Sands is a low-rise condo with only 110 units, making our property and beach less crowded than others in the area. There is onsite maintenance and security. In late 2022 and early 2023, several updates were made to the exterior of the property including new paint colors and updates to the pool and hot tub.

The heated pool and hot tub are Gulf Front, right next to the beach – there are no streets to cross and gates keep the property secure. Wrist bands are required to access the south side of the property. There is also a grilling area and a fitness center, each located on opposite ends of the pool/hot tub.

We have a fully stocked kitchen with full size appliances, a large dining area and a comfortable living room. We have a regular coffee pot and a Keurig. Off the kitchen is a full-size washer and dryer along with an ice machine - very convenient for filling up your cooler for the pool or the beach! In the living room is a wet bar with a mini fridge for added convenience. There’s also a new flat screen Smart TV with cable and movies for the family to enjoy. The couch opens up to a queen size sofa sleeper. The unit has been updated with new tile flooring, new furniture and bedding in both bedrooms, furnishings and artwork that capture the island charm that makes Destin an ideal vacation spot.

The roomy Gulf Front master suite also features a flat screen Smart TV and DVD player and large on-suite bathroom with a jetted tub and stand-alone shower. There are two separate sinks, one located inside the bathroom and one located outside the bathroom near the master closet. The 2nd bathroom is in the hallway, next to the 2nd bedroom which features a queen bed with 2 bunks so most families don’t need to hassle with the sofa sleeper. This bedroom also has a Smart TV and DVD player.

Our unit is fully stocked with linens and towels – including beach towels!

Sterling Sands is located in the heart of Destin and is within walking distance to many popular attractions. Directly across the street is the Track (go-karts, arcade games, bumper cars and mini-golf). We’re also near the popular Back Porch restaurant (just a short walk down the beach), Big Kahuna Water Park and Henderson Beach State Park. There are plenty of other family friendly restaurants, retail shops, the Silver Sands Shopping Outlet Mall, bowling alley and movie theaters nearby.

Destin is also known as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village”! Destin Harbor and the Okaloosa Island Pier are just a short drive from the condo. There are several places where you can rent water crafts, fishing gear and purchase bait.

No Pets are allowed (per our HOA) and Smoking or vaping is NOT permitted on the property other than the designated covered structure located near the entrance of the property on Highway 98. Smoking or vaping is NOT permitted inside the unit or on the balcony facing the pool/ocean or the breezeway (also per the HOA). Fines may be charged for smoking in areas other than the designated location.

The occupancy limit is 6 guests. Please note our HOA will only distribute 6 wristbands total for our unit upon payment of the Amenity Use Fee ($15 plus tax per guest 5 and older). All guests 5 and older must wear wristbands when using the pool. 

For added security, our unit has an external Ring Doorbell camera that faces out to the entryway and breezeway. This is not checked or monitored during a guest's stay unless a complaint is received.

The best!
This has been our 6th year at Sterling Sands and this unit is our favorite. The owners have thought of everything and we felt right at home. Everything from top to bottom was super clean and very nice! All beds were super comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and was well stocked. The stand alone ice maker was a huge bonus along with garage parking and complimentary beach service! The owner was so easy to work with and quick to respond. We will definitely be back!

Great place to stay!
We have never been to Destin before so I had no idea where to stay, etc. Fortunately, we LOVED this condo! it was spotlessly clean, felt very spacious, had an amazing view of the beach and was in a great location! We were no more than 10 min from anywhere we wanted to go. The proximity to parking/elevator/etc could not have been better. The beverage fridge was a nice bonus. The kitchen was well stocked. We spent a lot of time on the balcony in the mornings and late afternoons. The beach chairs/umbrella were really nice to have (note: if you want to rent additional chairs do it first thing in the morning because they run out). The beach never felt crowded, neither did the pool. The property was very clean and well maintained. The beach is amazing. Kori was very quick to respond to questions and very accommodating. My husband wants to book this again next year! I highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful condo with an amazing ocean view. The property was very clean and so comfortable. Kori was friendly and easy to work with and thought of everything needed for a week at the beach. The ice maker was an added bonus. Can't wait to come back in the Spring!!!

I think you will love Destin
First of all I stay here every year but not in the same unit , the property is older but nice , I have had some problems in the past with the units not being clean and the elevator not working but this visit the only problem I had was that the covered parking space was really tight and unless everyone parks just right it is hard to get in and out of your car but this is no really big deal for me . Lets talk about the unit 313 is a nice unit , it is not perfect but it was nice and clean and the ice machine was a big plus. I always enjoy my visit even with any problems that I have with the property and if I do have an issue it is taken care of ASAP . I usually like to stay up on the 5th floor but I wouldn't have a problem staying in this unit again .

Wonderful stay!
This unit was perfect for our family. So well and beautifully appointed and it included everything we needed! The beds and furniture were very comfortable for our evenings watching the Olympics together and hanging out! Having the second bedroom with three beds was perfect for us with three teenagers. The kitchen included all that we needed and more. The beach and water were top notch as was the view from our balcony. So many conveniences with this unit. And communication with the owner was fantastic. Very responsive and helpful. A great week!

Awesome Unit!!
This was our third time staying at Sterling Sands and this unit has been our favorite! Upon arrival, the unit was very clean and the owner, very accommodating, checking in to make sure everything was ok. The condo is beautifully decorated and very beachy, not to mention well stocked with everything you need. We loved all the extras (smart TVs for streaming, ice machine, extra outlets for phones/devices, beach towels, beach service, and more). Great condo, great unit, great view, great beach!!! We hope to return again next year!!

Wow! We just returned home and can’t wait to go back! In 9 years of visiting Destin, this is one of the nicest condo’s we’ve stayed in, very “beachy” and very comfortable. As far as owners go, Kori is the Best! Just a really great experience from start to finish! The check in and check out process was easy. The location is terrific...liquor store, pizza, subway and smoothie shop right across the street. Hope to visit again, sooner than later! Beautiful condo, great owners and amazing view right on the beach!!

Sterling Sands
What a wonderful property to stay in for a week. We're a family of 5 with kids ranging from 10-16 and every one of us would go back and stay here in a heartbeat. Pulling in to the covered parking and seeing the elevator so close was a welcome relief...but walking in the front door to a clean smell and a million dollar view was even better. This condo had never been rented by these owners prior to us arriving...so we were a bit nervous about what we'd find. I asked a few questions of the owner and she responded immediately, ensuring me that she had personally gone through everything and that they had been working for months to have it ready for people to stay in. She was accurate. The condo has obviously had a facelift. It felt like home from the second we walked in. The furniture was either new or extremely well cared for, the beds were new, sheets and bedding were clean, bathrooms were spotless...nothing felt outdated or old...it just felt right. The televisions are new, easy to operate, dvd player was available, HULU, Netflix, etc....and the wifi was strong and we never had any issues with communication. The view out to the gulf was incredible. It's a 3rd floor so it's not too high but still high enough that you don't get a ton of noise from the grounds below...and the best part is this condo is NOT above the pool, so you don't get the noise of kids playing or people talking...you get to year the roll of the ocean all day and night. The balcony has high chairs that we used every morning and night for coffee and drinks as we watched hundreds of dolphins throughout the week. The beach sand is so soft and white and the guys at the shed who put up the chairs were great to work with...making sure things were ready to go long before you were. The pool was immaculate and clean...and was a great place on the cooler days to spend some time and let the kids play. The location is about as good as you can get it if you want to be close to nearly everything. Restaurants are all over...but you can walk to a couple near Sterling Sands. Grocery store is less than a mile away, Target a couple...and the outlet malls 6-7 miles down the road...but the best part is all of that traffic is on the other side of the building so when you're in the condo, you have no idea anyone of all the people in town. The entire condo is the perfect size, the grounds are maintained VERY well and this particular condo is perfect.
