About this property

Sterling Shores 609- Spectacular Views and Spacious Living

Sterling Shores is a gated resort community located in the heart of Destin. Spectacular views of the white sand beach and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico greet you as soon as you enter the open concept living area with floor to ceiling windows. Please be advised a painting project will begin June 1, 2025 - Labor Day 2025. Following Labor Day 2025, a balcony and walkway project will then begin and balconies will be closed. Once walkways begin to be coated, walkways will be closed. This construction is mandated for the safety of all staff and guests of Sterling Shores.


The 1392 sq ft spacious floor plan includes 2 bedrooms with king size beds, 2 bathrooms, a queen size sleeper sofa and a fully equipped kitchen. Smart TV's in the living room and bedrooms with premium cable and wi-fi provided. Comfortably appointed for up to 6 people. Recently updated with new paint, new furniture and décor to give you the ultimate beach vibe.

The expansive balcony is accessible from the main living area and the Gulf view primary bedroom. The private, fully furnished balcony provides an area to sit back, relax and enjoy the panoramic view of the Gulf and watch the waves roll in.

The resort includes 2 separate pools. Providing plenty of room for everyone is a large lagoon pool with walk in access to a kid's swim area with mushroom waterfall and conveniently located near the outdoor barbecue grills. The second pool is beachfront with access to our private beach area and, in season, a drink and snack bar. The well maintained grounds also provide plenty of areas to play catch or throw a frisbee.

This welcoming condo is conveniently located to restaurants, shopping and family fun activities. Whether you are looking to stay busy and explore Destin or just relax and unwind, this is the condo for your beach vacation!

It was good.

I always take my own cleaning products and wipe everything down before my family and I get settled on every trip. While this place looked clean to the naked eye, the master bathroom smelled like urine whenever I approached the toilet. It looked clean. Didn’t smell clean. Even after I cleaned the toilet I still smelled urine so it could have been the floor surrounding the toilet which made me question the actual cleanliness of the entire space. There was a tapping noise in the ceiling or walls every night once it was time to go to sleep. Although it did not keep my family from being able to sleep it was a bit odd. Outside of that everything was awesome. Perfect location. Well stocked with everything we need. Check in and check out process was a breeze. Overall we did enjoy our stay.

A great stay!

This was my 6th visit to the Sterling Shores property and my 1st time staying in this condo. The size was great for 4 people and the unit was very clean. Very nice view of the water from the balcony. We will be booking with this unit again in 2025. This unit is directly in front of the elevator which makes loading and unloading convenient. You won't hear the elevator at all from inside.

Beautiful view

I booked a last minutes weekend getaway for myself, 12 yr old son and husband. We just wanted to relax and we did just that. The view was absolutely beautiful. The beach and restaurant with delicious food was within walking distance. I loved the balcony because I could enter it from my bedroom or the front room. The place was very spacious, clean and neat. I would love to stay here again!

Awesome Resort and condo

This is our 6th time being in Destin and loved staying at Sterling shores. Great pool for kids and easy access to beach. Very nice and clean grounds. Only thing I would suggest is to have a few more dish towels and couldn’t find any pot holders, which really wasn’t a big deal just used a towel!! We will book this place again!

Overall ok. Just a few things that need improvement.

We enjoyed the condo. Just a couple of things could have really improved our stay. Basically all appliances seriously need upgrading. The televisions were not smart TVs and the remote didn’t work a lot in the den. All TVs need to be upgraded. The coffee maker was outdated and didn’t turn off automatically. And the iron leaked and needed to be replaced. Just overall the condo needs updating.

Very nice property

This property was very clean. Since we had 2 couples staying there, we enjoyed having both bedrooms with king size beds. There was plenty of toilet paper and 1 roll of paper towels that lasted our 4 night stay- although we did buy more because of the previous comments. 2 small dish cloths are provided (and a new sponge) but a larger kitchen hand towel or 2 would have been appreciated. A starter pack of coffee and filter would have been appreciated. No coffee or filters were provided. Although clean, there are some areas that could be updated with fresher furnishings. Our only real complaint was the strict check in time. Our flight arrived at 10am and even though no one was in our room the night before and it was clean & ready, we could not get access to our unit until 3.30. An email to the management to request earlier access was unanswered. Not sure how letting us in earlier could’ve hurt. We had a bit of a hard time finding the garbage chute as the instructions posted on the fridge are not accurate and the Parking pass info is outdated. Overall, we had a great stay in #609 The view is fabulous and we really enjoyed going to The Back Porch often. It is pricy but portions are huge and the food is good quality.

Always love Sterling Shores

We’ve stayed at Sterling Shores for many years when visiting Destin. I love that it has 2 separate pools, close to the beach, close to Back Porch, nice balcony for relaxing and feels like home. This specific unit had beach service (chairs and umbrella) included which was great. I highly recommend Sterling Shores to people visiting Destin. Very clean and well maintained.

Beautiful and Relaxing but Minimalistic

The condo was spacious and lovely. The view of the pool and the ocean was spectacular! There were 4 of us staying there and we were fortunate to have a car for part of the stay. That proved to be vital because the necessities such as toilet paper, paper towels, salt/pepper, dishwasher detergent and even garbage bags were very minimal. I would have to say this property would be more suited for people that plan to eat out, not use the cooking facilities, etc. There was nothing provided in way of beach towels, beach chairs, toys, etc. For guests flying in, this might be problematic. My daughter rented a condo in Sterling Shores at the same time, paid less per night, and the owners had thought of absolutely everything! I would definitely book at Sterling Shores again but will do a deeper dive into what is available when we get there. In full disclosure, the description did say that minimal supplies would be provided but I would have expected the basics, such as paper products(they don't spoil), adequate dishwasher detergent, dish liquid, and basic spices, such as salt and pepper, maybe some coffee for the first few cups, etc. The condo was outfitted with a wide variety of dishes, pots and pans, etc. I would also recommend having aluminum foil, maybe some plastic wrap...again, it doesn't go bad so why not? Also, the description of the beach service' that was supposedly included was unclear because it said 'included' but then listed the price/day for chair rental of $45/day. This property was still very nice just suited to adults without kids.
