About this property

Welcome to Sterling Beach corner Penthouse unit 1701!! A completely updated, beautifully redecorated, 3 bedroom 3 bathroom 2500sqft condo with 12 foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows spanning the entire living space corner to corner allowing for absolutely stunning views of the beautiful emerald waters and white sand beach. You could spend the entire day sitting in front of the windows if you choose and won’t regret it! There is a fantastic vantage point from the top to spot dolphins, stingrays, manatees and yes sharks. My husband and I truly enjoy sitting in those window chairs for hours as does our 15 and 12 yo kids. When a storm rolls through its pretty incredible to watch that too. There are two balcony’s with the larger accessible off the living room as well as from one of the two primary bedrooms that includes a table and chairs for dining or relaxing in the shade. It’s an excellent option to watch those amazing Florida sunsets. The second balcony has its own private access via the second primary bedroom with set of chairs and side table. Our unit includes a set of beach chairs and umbrella down at beach in season. This luxurious beachfront condo sleeps MAX of 8 and offers heated pool (in cooler months) hot tub, fitness center, WiFi, and smart TVs in every room. **Please note the complex does not allow golf carts on property. Take moment to scroll through all the photos to really get a feel of how spacious, comfortable and the details that set us apart. We aren’t absentee owners as we also visit as much as possible from our hometown of Houston. With the kids getting older and more commitments those visit have been getting shorter and shorter. We are happy to be able to share our incredible home away from home with others so that they too can make lasting memories.

Absolutely breathtaking, beyond words

Everything was in pristine condition. All of our expectations were met at every angle. From the amazing floor to ceiling window views down to the tiny details that most wouldn't even think of. Hands-down the very best day we could have ever imagined. Jen covered every bit of information that we needed, plus! She said that we wouldn’t be disappointed, and she was not kidding. We were way beyond pleased. See you again real soon!

We enjoyed spacious pool and had no trouble with easy parking. Jen was amazing to work with and communicated and answered all of our questions. We only wished we could’ve stayed longer!

Best Condo on the Beach

We have been coming to PCB for over 40 years and this by far was the absolute best condo we ever stayed in. The condo was absolutely gorgeous! We had so much room for all of our family and it was so open and clean! The owners were the absolute best to work with…communicated with us about everything from the moment we booked! We will definitely be back!

Even better than it seems

Sometimes with pictures, you aren't sure what you are going to get. This property far exceeded expectations in all ways. It was spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything you needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The host was amazing to work with as well providing some really great recommendations in the area for families. The pool and beach areas were flawless as well and the residents and other guests were very courteous. You can book this property and then relax knowing that everything is going to be great.

Beautiful Condo

My family and I stayed 6 nights in Jen's beautiful condo March 2023. From the moment you walk in, you will never want to leave. Everything is gorgeous: the view, the decor, the comfortable couch and beds, the showers in the masters, the cute bowls, plates and coffee mugs, the pool and private access to the beach.. I could go on and on but find out for yourself. We also were very lucky the weather was 70's and sunny most of our stay. Jen's communication is top notch. We cannot wait to come back.

Great views of the gulf

We stayed in this unit in December, so it was pretty low key which is what we wanted. The unit is decorated and updated nicely. The views of the gulf are amazing. The owner was very easy to work with and checked into to see if everything was going ok. We have no complaints and would stay again.

We will be back!

Jen’s place was awesome. The condo is very well described on the website and I highly recommend this place for families or even a few couples. The 3 large bedrooms each with a bathroom and TV in them makes this a very comfy place. The decor was light/bright and the views were stunning. We had one minor issue when we were there with the floors but Jen addressed it ASAP. 5 stars overall for this condo The chair rental service that comes with the condo is very nice, also. It helps not having to lug chairs/umbrellas to beach….a very nice perk.

5 stars isn’t enough. AMAZING!!

Everything about this listing is perfect. Immaculate condo that looks exactly like it does in the pictures. Although the images don’t fully do justice to the view from the full wall of windows looking out over the gulf. Owner is very quick to respond to any questions, even suggested local favorites to eat. We are already planning our return trip and can’t imagine staying anywhere else.

Luxury Condo with Amazing Views!!!!

When we first stumbled on this condo on VRBO, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But, everything was as perfect as it seemed online. The luxury condo was the perfect place to stay with the most amazing views of the ocean. Jen, the host is the most thoughtful, helpful, and gracious host ever! She provided us with all the information we needed to make our trip wonderful! She went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We will definitely book this condo for our next vacation...which will be soon!!!

Beautiful condo with amazing views!

Wow! First impressions say a lot. The first impression you get when you open the door for the first time will blow you away! We have been vacationing in PCB for many years and have never stayed in a more beautiful and well appointed condo than this one. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed and plenty of space for food prep, a large refrigerator and pantry, super comfortable beds, extra large closets with tons of space for storage, and plenty of comfortable seating in the living area. And I can’t forget to mention the amazing views from the floor to ceiling windows! Jen was amazing to work with, very easy to get in touch with and communicate with. We cannot wait to plan our next trip here!

Amazing property, stunning views and gorgeous interiors!

This condo did not disappoint! The full oceanfront view from the 17th floor is simply breathtaking. As an interior designer, I appreciate the interior aspect of the condo as well. Expertly pulled together interior that brings the ocean inside with shades of blue, green and white sandy beaches. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for food and prep. We loved the rainfall shower to wash off the day and get ready for an evening out. The pool and grill area was very well manicured and we loved having private access to the beach. Communication with the owner was excellent. Overall we highly recommend this condo. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Truly wish we could live here!

A+++++ Out of 5 stars I give this place 100 stars! People who go to PCB already know the sand and water are beautiful. In the past I used to say, I go to the beach to go to the beach-not to sit indoors..,, so what do the looks of a condo matter as long as it’s clean and you have enough room for everyone to sleep and eat a few meals in there……UNTIL we went to Jenn’s condo. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a place that I was just as happy inside as outside. The fact that you can have that view from the inside was relaxing in and of itself! Imagine for families with someone who is an elder or someone who doesn’t like to spend hours on the beach… They can still enjoy the beach from the inside and still feel like they are there! The view gives you the feeling like you are on the top deck of a cruise ship with FULL view of the world out at sea! The Beds…Sooooo comfortable! The showers and tub…..AMAZING! Kitchen had everything we needed and washer/dryer worked perfectly! Plenty of space for our group and loved having 3 bathrooms!! Decor…..Gorgeous! I mean it when I say….so could live in this condo forever! Ahhhhh, this was a vacation we’ll never forget!

Amazing weekend!

This property was everything we wanted and needed and more!! Everything was extremely clean and comfy! With 7 adults, you could easily feel cramped, but not in this space. Plenty of seating for everyone (inside and out!). The view of the beach is worth the whole trip! The owner is extremely easy to get in touch with and is quick to answer any questions that arise. Hope to be back sooner rather than later!

The view makes it hard to leave!

From the moment you open the door to this condo located on the top floor of the building, you are immediately drawn to the view. Wow. It's even worthy of our teenagers doing a tik tok dance with that as their background! We were all very comfortable (3 adults, 3 kids); enjoyed the condo for cooking and eating in one night, spent time in the heated community pool and hot tub, and it's close to lots of activities and restaurants. You will enjoy your stay here too.

This is hands down the nicest condo we’ve stayed in! The huge windows offering an ocean view are spectacular. I spent a lot of the vacation just looking out at the view. The penthouse is immaculately clean. The furnishings are new and luxurious. The beds are comfortable. The linens very clean. Jen is so nice and easy to communicate with.

About the host

Hosted by Jen Gerdes

We are a beach and water loving family of 4 from a small suburb just south of Houston Texas near the coast. My husband and I have been married 18 years with an 15 year old son who enjoys football, wakeboarding, fishing and snowboarding as well as an 11yo daughter that loves to be the center of attention wherever she goes and is on a successful competitive dance team. We enjoy all things surf and sand; boating, fishing, swimming, jet skiing and more! We’ve also recently purchased a vacation property in Aspen so we are trying to split our time between sand and snow which is incredibly difficult with a workaholic husband and busy teen/tween.

Why they chose this property

We previously purchased and owned 1103 for over 5 years. We sold that unit and purchased 1701! We loved the high ceilings and openness of this unit. Since we visit often our condo is kept up to date with amenities we as owners prefer and not just a “rental property” Sterling Beach is on the far less crowded end of the beach near St Andrew’s Park and because we are surrounded by lower density condos and beach homes sprinkled in its WAY less crowded and rowdy. We also like being close to the marina and water sports.

What makes this property unique

Completed renovated and re decorated, floor to ceiling windows, high ceilings, high quality furnishings, corner penthouse, 2 balcony’s and lots of space.
