My family and I stayed in Sterling Stay May 28 - June 5. It was the perfect place for our large group which consisted of my husband and I, our six children, my sister and brother-in-law, and my mom and dad. We could not have asked for a better lay out of the rooms. My husband and I took the safari suite which was located on the second floor. Also on the second floor was the rack room which had two sets of bunk beds perfect for our four boys and our two girls shared the other king suite with an en suite bath on the same floor. My sister and her husband took the king bedroom with ensuite bath on the first floor and my mom and dad took the pool house which was equipped with its own kitchenette/living area and full bath. The King rooms were all large rooms with private baths. The Safari Suite has an amazing bath with a whirlpool tub and a large separate shower. There is also a third full bath on the second floor and a half bath on the first floor next to the back door. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The third floor is a lookout tower type room. The kids loved it and the adults loved the balconies in the evenings. You can view fireworks from as far away as the Sandestin area. You could not have your meals there very easily, even though it is equipped with a table and chairs it is a long trek from the kitchen if you have your hands full. There is a really cold mini fridge in the tower that was great for chilling drinks. If you are traveling with children this house is great. The pool ranges from about 3 foot to around 5.5 feet. It was large enough that all of the children could play in it without being on top of one another. And for supervision there are plenty of lounge chairs around the pool area so you can relax while keeping an eye on the kiddos. Another bonus to the pool is that it is shaded in the morning and in the late afternoon so you do not worry about frying the kids in the sun.The house comes equipped with a room full of beach and pool toys. The sand castle making toys were plentiful along with boogy boards, beach chairs and beach umbrellas. There is also a cart that collapses which you can use to tote the things to the beach. When reading the description it is easy to wonder how far you actually are from the beach. As I have learned walking distance can mean many things depending on who is doing the walking. With Sterling Stay it truly is walking distance to the beach.

We are from the mountains of North Carolina and traveled to Sterling Stay for Spring Break. Your home was MUCH more fabulous than we could have hoped. Everything we needed (kitchen supplies, dishes, towels, wash cloths, soap, shampoo, pool toys, beach toys, cooler, grill, internet access, cable TV, iron, washer/dryer, pool, alarm for the pool, etc.) was readily available. Every square inch was immaculately clean. The beach was within walking distance from the property, in fact, our three and five year old had no trouble at all walking down to the ocean. Even though we thoroughly enjoyed the beach, words cannot describe how thrilled my children were when they got to swim in your pool! Thank you so much for all of your hard work in providing this Spring Break Wonderland. Precious memories at Sterling Stay will never be forgotten.
Owner response:Thank you for choosing Sterling Stay Beach House for your Spring Break. Every effort is made so that our guests have all they need for a comfortable and fun holiday. It is great to hear that our property met you expectations. We hope you will come again next year for another week of fun in the sun in beautiful Destin.

Review Submitted: 04/15/11
Our stay was pretty good. We found out that the place was a little small for four families, but we made it work. The only other issue we found, was the kids pulling cigarette butts out from the couch in a non smoking facility. We also had a table in the living room that was broken upon arrival. Janet did bring replacement stools immediately, and the table was removed. Overall I thought the stay was a good expierence. I would try to do a better job with the cleanliness of the house. Sun was shining, and the fish were biting. Jason Engstrom
Owner response:Thank you for your review. We have brought your concerns to the housekeepers. Please know that Sterling Stay Beach House offers only the best to our guests. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and that the fish were biting under Destin's sunny skies!

The property was as advertised. House was well equipped, and nicely decorated. Loved the separate guest facility. My mother-in-law stayed there, and we all had our privacy. The Destin area is very overbuilt, and the amount of buildings and retail was a little overwhelming. However, everything you would want was within easy distance.

We had a terrific time at Sterling Stay House October 21-24. We had a houseful of our close family including two young children. The location was perfect, as it was just steps from the beach. Every amenity that we needed was at our fingertips! Wi-fi, kitchen utensils and plenty of beach and pool toys. The artwork was amazing and we loved the general set up of the home. Thank you for allowing to stay at your home. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience!

Great House, Everything Was Exactly As Described

Our family loved the house. Within walking distance (2 Minutes) to the beach. How is very well equiped. Large kitchen for preparing meals. The pool is wonderful. It could use a larger area in the back for lounge chairs and such around the pool. Very close, convenient to Destin Commons and the local Walmart. I highly recommend the Sterling Stay if you plan on visiting the area!
Owner response:We appreciate your comments and are glad Sterling Stay Beach House was a nice holiday venue for your family. We are in complete agreement with your pool deck observation and have already scheduled a September date for installation of paving stones to extend the pool deck area. Thank you for choosing Sterling Stay Beach House. We hope you will come again.

Great property! Ideal for families with children, young and old. Ground floor bedroom a blessing for family member who has difficulty with stairs. Amenities were excellent and separate cabana was a neat concept. Less than 2 minute walk and you are in the sand. Lot's of stuff to walk to and infinite choices (both eating and entertainment) within short drive. 1st time visitor to the Florida panhandle. We will be back.
Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your holiday at Sterling Stay Beach House. I wonder what we could have provided or done that would have made your holiday better since yours is the only number 4 we have ever received. All the other 14 guest reviews have given Sterling Stay Beach House a rating of Excellent #5.

Review Submitted: 03/25/10
I just returned from a fabulous week staying at "Sterling Place" in beautiful Destin, Florida. We loved our accomodations!! We had 15 in our party and 10 of them were teenagers so the pool house/cabana was perfect for them to get away but still remain close by for supervision. In terms of equipment, household items, and beach ammenities, the house had everything we needed. Actually, we were a little surprised there was not one thing we ever needed that had not been provided. The house was beautifully furnished, clean and spacious. We never felt confined. I guess my only negative would have been the size of the dining room table. Even though I understand it would be quite impossible to get a table large enough to feed 15, I do think a better arranagement could be made to at least fit 8 comfortably. But if you think about it, that is an easy fix. I would highly recommend staying here. It's a close walk to the beach, they have all the chairs and toys you would ever want, and they have this great cart to haul them in. The pool was nice as well. Have fun!
Owner response:Thank you for the compliments on Sterling Stay Beach House. We are glad the property amenities exceeded your expectations and had all the items/equipment you needed. Thank you for your suggestion regarding the dining room table; we will try another arrangement. We hope you will come again to Sterling Stay Beach House for your next holiday at the beach.

I had the pleasure of staying at Sterling Stay for the month of February 2010 and had a wonderful time. This house is so beautiful, roomy and comfortable. This home is well maintained and the owner is a pleasure to work with. It has everything needed for home away from home. The fenced yard with the pool in back is a nice retreat for relaxing. I loved the Crystal Beach neighborhood because it is so close to everything, and a wonderful area for taking walks. The beach is right down the street and you can get there in no time. Destin beaches are the best. I highly recommend Sterling Stay for a beach vacation getaway.
Owner response:We are pleased that your month at Sterling Stay Beach House was pleasurable. Thank you for your kind compliments regarding the property and neighborhood of Crystal Beach. We, too, think it is a very special place. We hope you can visit again for a winter reprieve or for some summer fun! Thank you for choosing Sterling Stay Beach House.
