Sterling Shores has two pools for guests to use...one is a seasonally heated 4300 square feet pool with a gorgeous fountain kids will enjoy while the other is on the gulf and has a tiki bar for the big people and the little people to enjoy. You MUST try their hamburgers and rootbeer floats...They are the best!! A 42-seat surround sound full screen theatre is offered to guests as well as an exercise room.

You are within walking distance of both casual and fine dining restaurants, and lots of amusements parks, including water rides, bumper cars, minature golf, bungee jumping, and kiddie's rides. If you want walking/running trails, start at the front of the condo and go to your hearts desire. You are within a mile of all your shopping needs...from grocery, to discount, to retail malls..You are at the center of Destin's activities.

Our penthouse is the largest one in Sterling Shores and features 12 foot ceilings and crown moldings, beautiful furnishings and paintings, custom draperies and decorations, and even a marble top on the wet bar which has a separate refrigerator. The fully appointed kitchen features beautiful granite countertops, as well as the kitchenette in the 2nd master and all of the bathrooms!! All of the flooring is tiled throughout. It is the Biscayne model that features a separate lock out bedroom with it's own small kitchen,(including a sink, microwave, and refrigerator), and a private balcony. There are flat screen cable tv's with HBO and dvd players in each bedroom. And, the living area features a large screen HDTV with stereo speakers. The balcony also has speakers for enjoying soft music with that glass of wine before dinner. It is by far the most beautifully decorated condo in all of Sterling Shores, and most certainly no other unit has our incredible views!! We even have a large toy box right outside the front door for storing the kids beach toys, floats, etc. for your convenience.

There is a full size crib, plus a portacrib and a highchair for your convenience. The kitchen is equipped with all the items you would find at home. We try to think of everything you might need to make your vacation a truly special, fun filled memory!

You will love the ocean views from both balconies off of the master bedroom and living area as well as the 2rd King bedroom. You will have gorgeous beach views looking south, and incredible sunset views at dusk, and spectacular city night light views looking west! Gorgeous, gorgeous views!

Each bedroom has it's own private bath while the two master's have their own separate jacuzzi's and showers. All the bedrooms have large walk-in closets.

If you can't tear yourself away from your computer even while on vacation, you will enjoy a small office area complete with highspeed internet access. And, no other unit offers a wet bar with refrigerator and gorgeous marble top!

The owner's offer their private covered parking space for guests. The elevator is located just across from this parking spot, and when you arrive on the top floor, your front door is just steps away.

You will not find a more beautifully furnished penthouse that offers you the gulf and sunset views with the city lights of Destin for round the clock enjoyment. To make sure you enjoy your stay, we provide each guest with our own personal recommendations of restaurants and activities. And, since we live in Destin, we are just a phone call away if you need anything.

We offer only weekly or monthly rentals. Sorry, no short weeks offered. We are strict non smokers, so please do not smoke inside our unit!

Please email me for additional information or to view the virtual tour or additional photo's if you are unable to open the link on the vrbo web site, or to receive the rental agreement. (Please note: the virtual tour and photos are almost 3 seasons old. We completely refurnished, repainted, and redecorated the penthouse at the beginning of the 2008 season but won't be able to update the tour and photos until the first week it is vacant.. But, I promise it is far prettier than the photos currently on vrbo!!)

  • Thanks John and Bev for another great visit. This is the third year we have stayed here and it works just great for our family. This year we had our toddler granddaughter with us, and the baby accommodations (high chair, crib, and toys) were great. Each year I see changes that have been made to keep the condo in beautiful and functional shape. Bev called just before we left to see if there was a need to have anything repaired before the next guests arrived. Thanks again - we plan on returning next year.

  • Dear Bev, Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our visit to Destin. Your PH 19 condo is wonderful!! The view off the balcony was awesome. It was a great 25th Anniversary! We left everything very clean and hope to rent from you again in the future. Thanks for everything, Kim Rhodes

  • What a fantastic place. We love Sterling Shores, this penthouse is HUGE and wonderfully decorated. Amazing views from the balconies! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. My family was really impressed that I found such a great place to stay at a matching great price! My two toddler grandchildren also loved it, and the pool was tailor-made for little ones. Thanks to the Monacos for their hospitality, you have the best condo we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a LOT of them!)

  • JOHN & BEV, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL CONDO WITH ME & MY FAMILY. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. FROM THE TIME WE ENTERED THE DOOR THE VIEW OF THE OCEAN WAS AMAZING. THE CONDO WAS SO WELL MAINTAINED AND SPACIOUS. THE KITCHEN WAS FULLY EQUIPPED WITH EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. THE SET UP WITH THE BABY BED, HIGH CHAIR, AND PACK AND PLAY WAS AN ADDED BONUS FOR CHILDREN. ALSO THANKS FOR ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RESTAURANTS, SHOPPING, AND ACTIVITIES. IT WAS A GREAT HELP. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT VACATION. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

  • Bev and Jon, We absolutely loved your condo. It was our best vacation ever! The condo was superb, the beaches and views gorgeous, and the location was perfect. We also loved the pool for the children. It was also very nice that you gave us a list of places to go and restaurants to eat at. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your penthouse and we look forward to visiting again.

  • We had a great stay and really enjoyed your property at Sterling Shores. That was the second time we stayed there and liked your condo the best. Your helpful tips for restaurants and golf courses were great as well.

  • The Smith family had a fantastic vacation staying in this Penthouse condo. It has everything we needed and more. It was perfect for our family, young and older. The location can't be beat - we've stayed in several locations in Destin but this was the best by far! We hope to return soon. Thanks to the Monaco family for a lovely place to stay!

  • All of the great comments we read before our month of January stay at this lovely condo were delightfully proven to be true! From the sound/media system and oppulent bathrooms, to cozy lap throws for the leather sofas, comfort and luxury did abound! Magnificent views? Oh my, the enjoyment of seeing an eastbound Pod of a dozen playful dolphins, a huge golden/orange Moon after dinner through the Dining Room window, Sunrises over and Sunsets into the Gulf's horizons from the SAME balcony, planes landing and Destin's night skyline, oh yes, the views are quite magnificent! Thanks Bev and John! We so enjoyed our stay at your lovely condo, and the added finishing touches you provide are thoughtful, welcoming and appreciated! Bill & Janet Metzger Paducah, KY

  • The Monaco's Sterling Shores Penthouse is absolutely the best value I have ever seen in the Destin area. We stayed there in July 2008. The unit is impressive enough with it's fabulous furnishings and amazing Gulf and City views. But, when you add in the personal service that you receive from Bev & John, then it is simply unmatched. Bev took care of even our smallest concerns and requests immediately. Thanks for a GREAT week at the beach! The Amsler Family & Yockey Family

  • This unit is so nice. I knew from the pictures and from staying at another Penthouse unit that it would be good -- however, it still far surpassed my expectations. It's wonderfully decorated, spacious, and so functional. The view of Destin and beaches is amazing. Our family just loved it. We can't wait to go back. The Monaco's were a real pleasure to work with and you can easily tell that they love this place. You'll reap the rewards of their heartfelt efforts when you stay here!
