Kick back and take in the incredible beach and gulf views from your furnished balcony at this comfortable condo on the Panhandle. Inside, luxurious furniture and attractive wall art, floors, and decor combine to bring a welcoming ambiance to the living space, and the mirrored wall helps to increase the feeling of space. Watch a good movie on the TV then hop into the full kitchen and take advantage of the stainless steel appliances to prepare a wonderful meal. The dining table has seating for guests and you can enjoy al-fresco meals out on the private balcony. Work up a good sweat in the fitness room then head downstairs for a cool-down swim in the shared, heated pool. Fire up one of the shared grills to enjoy a family cookout or take a stroll out to the adjacent beach. You'll find something for everyone here at Sterling Sands!

While the beach is just steps from your rental, you'll find even more opportunities for fun in the sun at places like the Track where you can hop in a go-kart, play mini-golf, or brave the SkyFlyer, located right across the street. Race down some incredible water slides at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, less than a mile west. Or head to Henderson Beach State Park, a mile-and-a-half east, where you can hike the nature trail, do a little fishing, or relax on the warm sands.

Keep Looking
Great view, but several things in the unit do not work at all or not well such as guest bedroom ceiling fan and closet door; guest bathroom water pressure; and hot water heater.

Beautiful location, interior decorated nicely, almost perfect, but in need of a few minor updates
Location in the ease and convenience of this property is not to be understated. The six floor balcony is amazing. It is the perfect size for a family. The additional bunkbeds are very desirable. And the furnishings for the most part or ideal and durable for a group. Finishes in the kitchen updated and appliances were clean. That being said the furnishings are good, although some of them a little older. Specifically very minor changes would make this an A+ or five rating. The throw pillows on the sofa need to go. They look like they’re 10 years old and a new batch would serve the decor well. Likewise, the cushions on the dining chairs need to be replaced. In the primary bedroom, I’m not sure that the sheets were actually replaced after a little last person stayed; We had a little smudging and staining on some of the blankets and sheets. The woodgrain floors are lovely and updated, however, I have a feeling they don’t get mopped very often if ever. Within minutes, our socks and bare feet were black. The showers and bathrooms were clean and tidy, but there was a bit of peeling paint on some of the trim wor and doors, The bathroom faucets could use an update. All in all, with those very minor changes this would be a five star rating and we would stay again.

Needs some work
We actually love Sterling Sands and hope to continue coming back for years. The Gulf view is wonderful. And the pool is exceptionally clean. And Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We love it. Our condo was great. It just needs some work on the walls like painting over the patchwork in the bathrooms.. All in all we loved our stay as usual.

Can’t wait to go back.
We loved our stay. This condo is spacious and has all the necesites. The entire property is very clean and peaceful. The pool water is always warm and the sand at the beach is so clean. My only regret is not staying longer!

Great girls getaway
We enjoyed our stay but a few things need addressed in the condo. Drawers are broken in the master bedroom furniture, dead batteries in the remotes, and it needed better cleaning. Overall fantastic condo and I would stay here again. We had the best view of the beach and by far the quietest property we’ve ever stayed at. Very relaxing and we will be back!

Horrible
Horrible stay. Received notification through email about construction after I arrived. I tried Repeatedly to reach mgmt. No one has reached out to me as of this day. Condo was dated and had roaches. Beds had worn springs in them which hurt our backs. There was a promise to move us, but nothing happened. I will not stay with Vacassa again. I've visited Destin many times, but this trip was horrible. Wouldn't recommend Sterling Sands...period!!

Pros/cons and pool Closure notice
I booked on 12/20/22. There was no mention of heated pool closure for resurfacing beginning early Dec. We learned of it on the day of check-in. 12/23/22. Good location on the beach, restaurants, activities. Overall clean. (Needs some minor cleaning near dryer and living room area rug needs some deep cleaning or replaced). Kitchen appears to be upgraded. Good startup supplies. Appears the ceiling is recently painted/upgraded. Kids slept well. Plenty of room!! Master bedroom has a lot of room. Mattress is a bit worn, moderately comfortable for my preference. Bathroom has garden tub with whirlpool. Cabinets appear upgraded. Ceiling over shower appears to have water stains. Would recommend towel hooks/bar to hang wet towels in master bath. It has none. We hung them over shower door. Excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. Perfect view of the Gulf!! Balcony has plenty of room and chairs for our family of 5. Beach acces is very easy with the codes given. Vacuum, dishwasher, washer and dryer all worked well. Heat worked well for the sudden cold front that joined us on our vacation. Entrance door had no seal, so the cold wind came in all around the door. We attempted to block it with blanket. (Hence the increased need for heat). Ice maker made one big block of ice instead of cubes (explains the ice trays filled for us.). We only used the crock pot, coffee maker, toaster, and microwave. They all worked well. (No clue about stove but it looks fairly new). Plenty of COMFORTABLE seating in living room and kitchen. This all may be too much info, but I wished I had more info on some of the reviews. Overall I RECOMMEND this unit, especially if pool is reopened.

Great location.
Although this condo was older it was in good condition. It is in need of painting and definitely new mattresses, but other than that I would definitely stay there again.

Nice view of the beach
We loved the view of the beach and the cool breeze blowing in. The apartment had plenty of room for my family to relax and enjoy our time away from home in comfort. It was in a good location close to plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. The apartment was clean and had plenty of dishes for our use.

Cute Space, but...
My friends and I loved this space. It's conveniently located to virtually everything you could want or need in the Destin area. However, the space is a tad dated for example: rust in the door grooves (where the screws are to open and close the door), deteriorating paint and, dated appliances. The best example of the dated appliance is the main TV which is SUPER slow and does not allow for streaming; something that nearly every hotel or vacation rental has in 2021. By investing in this property a bit more, it will show the renters how much you value their business. P.S. I also did not care for how right at 10 a.m. (EXTREMELY EARLY CHECK OUT TIME, CONSIDERING THAT WE CAN'T CHECK IN UNTIL 4 P.M.) the cleaning person was right outside the door as we struggled to wheel bags out. Not cool.
