Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was great for my family’s 5 night stay. The view is great and it’s very clean and cute! The only issue I had was slow communication and the building was under construction at the time. Other than that, I’d definitely come back!

Overall good. Building exterior under renovation which was a nuisance; messy! Would have been nice to know ahead of time. We didn’t know where to go when we got there. The wayfinding for individual units was nonexistent. The kitchen was great - renovated. Rest of unit could stand to be painted/updated. View is awesome!!! Loved the gas grills. Pools are really nice!

Great stay!

Second time staying in Destin and at Sterling Shores. Location is great! Perfect property for our family of 4. The setup was great. Only challenge was trying to adjust check out times, which was eventually resolved after calling the company direct. We will be back!

This is in response to the request to submit a review of our stay at Destiny Beach Properties LLC from 2/1/26-2/28/26.The property and outdoor amenities were wonderful and the view was perfect. The parking lot, elevators and walkways were well kept and secure. The pool and outdoor seating were also clean, and the pool was always debris free. With that said, there were also many reasons we were displeased about spending our time there. The living room rug was very soiled, and the couch cover was absolutely disgusting. We had to purchase our own cover before we could even sit on it. We also had to replace ALL the tv remote batteries AND the smoke alarm battery, as it was chirping. The king bed box spring is so worn out and broken, every time you move it would make a crunchy sound. Beginning the week of 2/9, the unit above ours started to have what we assume was construction done every single day that would begin very early in the morning and last late into the night. A few times it was after 100am before the noise stopped. Constant pounding and dragging or scraping across the floor and slamming the patio door open and shut. Twice during our stay, we had to evacuate due to the fire alarms going off someplace in the building and the fire department showing up. We understand that safety is a priority, but this seemed to be something preventable instead of an actual emergency. In closing the location and outside amenities were perfect, but the condo and our stay were not.

Awful

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My stay was okay although I had bugs in my rooms, the living room table you couldn’t even touch without it almost falling apart. Then as we were leaving we realized we had left an iPad in our room and they told me they would grab it and ship it to me then they never spoke to me again!

Great location but no heated pool or hot tub

This was a great location but we were very disappointed that the 2 pools they had were not heated and they have no hot tub. Destin can be chilly so that is a must for our family. They have a wonderful big pool that no one swam in for the week we were there. If only they would have heated it it would have been a different story. Our room was spacious but they did not do a good job of cleaning it before we got there.

Everything was great. A little sticker shocked on $70 a day for beach service. We opted out, beach cart on deck had a broken wheel. The property was perfect for our needs and the location was great. Everything was good. I would return. Tks.

Not what I expected

Overrall, I would not stay here again. The condo has 3 sets of elevator and only one set worked which was a major inconvenience for July 4th weekend. If you had a large load you waited 20 plus minutes. Most of the time you had to take the stairs and the condo was on the 5th floor. Not an easy task with kids and lugging beach stuff/ice chest. The condo did not have the bands needed to get to the pool as we only received 3 (for a party of 4) and one was broken. It also is not appear any how to get to the beach which is a hike. The water is nice at Destin and having the restaurant The Back Porch being so close was convenient. You can see the gulf from the condo at a distance but that is it. The condo does not have an ice maker and the bathrooms could use some updating.

Excellent Location

Gorgeous view and excellent location. Not directly on the beach, but very close and easy to get to with the resorts personal walkway. The large pool is not heated, so very cold in March. Smaller pool was heated. The resort is beautiful and very well maintained. Several gas grills available by the pool for use. The unit was as described. Could use a good deep cleaning. Had a wagon for the beach but one of the wheels was broken. I had seen that in an earlier review and assumed it would have been addressed. The balcony table was breaking apart and is in definite need of being replaced. The kitchen was sufficiently stocked. Bathrooms are supplied with bath towels and travel size supplies. Bedrooms have no views. 2nd bedroom has bunkbed which could use some repair. The property management company sent us the codes for the main gate and when we arrived we couldn’t get in. Luckily there was a gentlemen behind us and he gave me a code to get in. When I went to the front desk area I explained that I was given this code and was told they had changed the gate code months ago. So not very happy with communication from the management company. Overall the unit fulfilled our needs and does have an awesome view.

Mini vaca

Property was descent, the issues we had were that there were only 2 pool access wrist bands instead of guaranteed 5. The help number could not get us anymore the entire stay, could not get in touch with management? Never called us back. After I sent an email, I got a response 2 days ago saying they could not get anyone. There was no tissue in the tissue box receptacles. The elevators work poorly and long waits due to only one working on our side. We were stuck in the elevator for at least 10 minutes yesterday with no air and it was so hot. My little one went into full blown panic and I almost passed out. Had to sit down in hall twice before I could get back to the room.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So happy to have rented a spot close to everything! The condo was very clean upon arrival and had great amenities. The condo had everything you would need to feel at home especially traveling with a small child. We didn’t need to buy any beach toys since they had a few available for play. The staff kept the pools and grills cleaned everyday. Such a nicely manicured landscaping and easy access to the beach. The beach was very clean and private. Our view from the balcony was the best!
