Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Sterling Sands
I first visited Destin in 2002 after a friend told me about how nice the beaches are. I fell in love with the area because the sand and beach remind me of the the north shore of lake Michigan in late summer. Destin is about a 1,000 mile trip for me but I try to get to the condo several times a year. I enjoy the emerald gulf water, white sand beach, and the Destin relaxed way of life. I work hard to keep the condo updated so that my guests will relax and enjoy their vacation at the beach.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Fresh sea food is hard to get in Michgian so I always make sure to take in all I can while I'm in Destin. Harbor Docks is always good for a nice dinner or the Back Porch for a sandwich and tuna dip. Baytown Wharf is a great place to hear some music and let the kids have fun.
Owner's Map of Sterling Sands
Hello, my name is Steve. I’m the owner of Sterling Sands #409. I live in Michigan near the state capital. I’ve been in law enforcement for many years and am now working as the chief of police in a great resort community near Ann Arbor, Michigan. I purchased the condo in 2002 after I saw the beautiful white sandy beach and incredible palm landscaping at Sterling Sands. Destin is a great vacation get-a-way and I’m very grateful for all the wonderful memories I have with family and friends at the beach. I spend a great deal of time and money each year making sure that the condo is in top condition. I truly enjoy my time in Destin and I’m confident that you will not be disappointed when you stay at Sterling Sands #409.

A summer to remember!

Since this was our first visit to the beach in four years, we were hoping to have a good time with our 8-year-old granddaughter. Opening the door, our worries melted away and we knew we had the made the right choice. Clean, clean, clean!!! The magnificent view from the balcony gave us opportunities to see pelicans and dolphins go by each day while being high above the activity of the pool below. Plenty of space with lovely furnishings, amazingly comfortable beds and new appliances, the condo reminded me of being in a model home! We could not have asked for more...we even received a welcoming phone call from Steve to make sure we had arrived and all was in order!! Having multiple tv's allowed grandpa his daily news and financial talk shows and eliminated the conflict with "someone" wanting to see Disney or Nickelodeon. I especially enjoyed the convenience of having a washer/dryer in the unit and was amazed at how quiet the dishwasher was..The complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas allowed us the luxury of staying out on the beach a little longer with the shade they provided our little redhead. Our granddaughter said it "was the best vacation at the beach she ever had" and we all agreed! We look forward to many more summers at Destin and hope we will always be able to come back to Steve's condo! Thanks for an amazing stay!! PS For GREAT Italian food and huge portions, go west on Hwy 98 to La Famiglia!!! (Be warned - their kids' menu pizza is the size of a large Domino's or Papa John's). For 1/2 price, delicious dinners between 4 & 6pm try - The Lighthouse!!

As usual a perfect trip to paradise! One of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the perfect vacation spot. We love living in on our bathing suits and never having to put on our shoes because the beach is just steps from the condo. Having restaurants and the go cart track in walking distance is another plus!

Spring Break Vacation in Unit 180843
Guest: Karla
(Fenton, MO)
Date of Stay: 03/19/11
Review Submitted: 05/24/11
Our family has been going to Destin for many years, staying at various condos or rental houses. There is no question that this unit (180843) is our favorite so far. We loved having the master bedroom on the beach side and the overall floor plan for our family of 4. The unit was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable and is in a great location in town and on the beach. The pool is a perfect temperature at spring break time. The Track is across the street which offers lots of family entertainment. There are several good restaurants really close - the Back Porch being one of our favorite! We were offered complimentary beach chairs/umbrella usage the week we stayed and the gentleman managing the beach service took very good care of us each day. We hope to be able to stay here again next year!
Owner response:Jerry & Joyce It was great having you back at the condo again. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back again soon. Steve

This is the third time we have stayed in this condo and we love it. It is located in the heart of Destin so you are close to everything and the parking space is the best. Steve is a pleasure to work with. We go to Destin twice a year and we plan on making this our "go to condo".
Owner response:Jerry & Joyce, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you can return again soon. It looks like another great year at the beach in Destin. Steve

Fabulous Condo #409 Sterling Sands in Destin
Guest: Judy and Mark
(Minnesota)
Date of Stay: 11/01/10
Review Submitted: 01/24/11
We are winter guests from Minnesota and have rented from Steve for 5 years. The condo is just as beautiful as the pictures show it to be. Steve continues to update the unit every year and it is probably one of the nicest in the building! You can see both the sunrise and the sunset from the balcony and can hear the waves crashing from the master bedroom. We plan to continue to rent this unit for years to come and would highly recommend it for your family vacation or "get a way"!! You will want to come back every year as we do.....

Incredible ocean views and perfect location in Destin
Guest: Coach

Date of Stay: 05/28/10
Review Submitted: 01/17/11
We stayed in this condo last Memorial Day and had a fantastic time. The condo is right on the beach and only steps away from the ocean. There is also a beach service where you can rent umbrellas and chairs. Our son loved swimming in the pool every afternoon and visiting the go cart track across the street. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and the condo has recently been updated so everything is nice and new. We can't wait to go back this year and definitely recommend this unit!
Owner response:I'm glad you enjoyed your family vacation and hope that you return to Sterling Sands #409 for another great trip.

My family and I have stayed at this condo several times. The condo is beautifully decorated and well equiped. It has continued to exceed our expectatons in every way. We especially enjoy the view of ocean from the 4th floor balcony. Sunsets were amazing. The condo overlooks the heated pool and hot tub. It is an easy walk to the beach and close walk to the Back Porch Restaurant which is one of our favorites. The owner was very pleasant and easy to work with. We will be back again next year.

Review Submitted: 09/14/10
This condo is such a perfect place for a vacation! Everything about our experience was just perfect! The location of the condo in regards to the beach could not be any better - you are so close to the water here - it really is just a very short walk away. The condo itself was not only immaculate when we arrived for our one week trip but the furnishings in the whole unit made our stay very warm and homey. All of the furnishings were very upscale and yet comfortable. My favorite part was the spa tub in the master bath, along with the shower. Oh...and don't let me forget the TempurPedic mattress in the master bedroom.......... As for the condo unit, it was so nice to have that wonderful swimming pool with easy access and better yet was the parking spot! You can't appreciate that it is right in front of the elevator unless you've had to park and hike a long distance with all of your things in the past, which I have. You don't have to do that here!!! I could go on however I do believe I've covered the main points. My real statement is: Try It - You'll Love It !!!!!
