Good, not great
We loved the decor and view from the condo. There were lots of towels, and alot of small “hotel” like supplies. So that was nice. A few improvements are needed, the sliding door was very difficult to open. Another thing was that the fan in the master bathroom didn’t work so there was a lot of extra moisture that could potentially cause more damage. We also had some ants, not an infestation but enough to get into our leftovers on the counter. The door handles in the bathrooms need to be updated. We still had a great time. I would come back next year. The heated pool was nice.

Everything was great except too many rules for me…I.e. must always wear wristbands, no smoking anywhere except far away near a very busy street, security (the female one) is just rude, and etc.

Great location!
Myself and my two teenage daughters enjoyed our recent trip to Destin. The condo was very clean and well appointed. The location couldn’t be better for both enjoying the beautiful beaches or shopping and dining around town. We will definitely consider it again for future stays.

Not very kid friendly
There was no plastic dining ware for children to use. I had a 1 and 3 year old with me. No single pool or beach amenity in the room to share/use. Outlet covers falling off walls, light switches that do nothing, ceiling fans that don’t work. Had to pay $50/day for beach umbrella/2 chairs. $10/person for a pool wristband and parking pass. So factor that into the cost.

Great location
Condo itself was outdated. Many things didn't work. Internet, ceiling fan in main living area would not work at all. Contacted Vacassa twice without resolution. Had to use hot spot on our phones all week. Bed in master was sunk in on the left side. Very uncomfortable needs to be replaced. All of the fixtures both bathrooms are loose or are falling off. Needs to have better maintenance. View was incredible and location was excellent. Would stay in location again but not this unit, needs a lot of work.

would stay here again
this was a great location. didnt like that the garage was so dark from the pool to the elevators. Everythign is locked down with door codes which is great except for the garage area. One day we had someone strange man just walking around the garage and made you feel a little uncomfortable. Did not like that you to rent the chairs to site close the beach. I was told that I had to set up behind the chairs with my blanket. I do not like to have a chair and umbrella I use just my blanket. Makes it hard to watch the kids in the water if I have to be behind the chairs. Grounds were very well kept the tile floors in the unit can use a good cleaning. We really did enjoy our time and I would consider staying in this unit again. We like to come to Destin every oct.

Vacationer beware
As we walked into the unit, I saw stained sheets rolled and taped up (presumably for the fold out couch). It appeared to be a blood stain. This prompted me to look around. There was some sort of sticky read frozen liquid in the freezer left from the previous guest. There was no less than three different types of hair on the rug in the master bathroom. None of the matching ours. The sliding glass door did not lock and there was no board or stick to secure it. Even though it is on an upper floor it would be easy from someone next door to get to the unit. I brought all of these things to managements attention only to have them hand us a broom to break off our self. They offered to re-clean the room But I had already re-cleaned everything myself because at that point I didn’t trust their abilities. After I left I spoke with the Vacasa management team. He told me that he had been advised by his group that everything had been checked before I got there. Pretty much making it seem like I had lied about the issues. The location is beautiful! The beach is beautiful! We had a great time at the pool! But just be advised they don’t do a great job on cleaning and there’s a lot of rundown things about this unit. The master sink is loose, the shower doesn’t drain, And I already mentioned the sliding glass door.

False Advertising
This property is advertised as having two adult sized beds, a king and queen. Upon arriving, we found single bunk beds in one room instead of the queen. Nowhere in the photos or description does it mention having single sized bunk beds. This was extremely frustrating as we had two married couples in the condo. My husband and I could not even sleep in the same bed together on this vacation. Complete false advertising. Would NOT recommend.

Beautiful Clean Condo
The condo was amazing and very clean. I will definitely stay here again. I had a little problem getting in and at first the person at the desk was not very helpful. However after she called her manager they were able to figure it out and get me a code that worked. Overall I loved the condo.

Clean and very nice condo. The only downside is that you have to rent beach chairs at the beach. The rules of the HOA did not allow personal umbrellas.

Great location and amenities
Great location and nice to have pool/beach access. Master bath shower drain needs to be cleaned. Standing in water while showering is nasty. Also broken window blinds in master bedroom which allows anyone outside to see in which is unacceptable. Somewhat disappointed on how outdated unit was. Definitely could use some work.

Pros & cons…
We would stay at the facility again, but not in this u it again. There were way too many “cons” on the list. We were there over the long Thanksgiving weekend and it was fine for a short stay but wouldn’t have wanted that for a longer stay. We really wanted to be fair here, so this is a pretty comprehensive list. We travel a lot and are super familiar/comfortable with this type of rental. We had two adults and two grown kids (20 & 25.) Pros: Spectacular view Comfy couches Comfy beds Soft, comfy blankets, rugs and pillows Located near lots of restaurants and activities Nice outdoor patio furniture Outdoor area is well kept Cons: EVERY single wall needs to be painted and needs some type of repair! There are screws and nails coming out of the wall everywhere from changed/moved items on walls. Dated decor - mirrors everywhere, carpet feels icky in bedrooms The bed in the 2nd bedroom literally goes from one wall to the other (headboard to footboard). You cannot walk around the bed. You have to climb off of it from the far side, climbing over the other person. Should definitely be a bunk bed situation in there! Something smelled dead in the 2nd bathroom the entire time, like there was something dead in a vent. The ice maker makes almost no ice. So many of the outlets do not work in every room. Most of the top outlets in the master bedroom didn’t work and some in the 2nd bedroom as well. Tv in 2nd bedroom is the size of a laptop screen and has no remote so you have to control it using buttons on the back. Sliding bathroom door to 2nd bedroom sticks pretty badly. Glass doors out to patio are EXTREMELY difficult to open. One elevator wasn’t working a good portion of the time and both were super slow. Wi-Fi is very spotty. Don’t plan on working remotely or attending class while you’re there. Smoke detector dangling from the ceiling in hallway.

Beautiful view, but…
Overall, it was a good property for the money. There were issues with the first unit, as they never sent the door code before arrival, and once they did, it didn’t work-frustrating after a long ride. After being let in by security, we took a walk on the beach, we couldn’t get in, as the door code was still not working, and there was a locksmith there for sometime. Overall, we didn’t have access for 3-4 hours. We did get compensated by being given an extra night in another unit. The location was great, and the second unit was in better shape than the first.

Great location
Let me start by saying we loved our stay at Sterling Sands. Only a couple of things you should know about this particular property. It’s in a great location, close to the elevator, pool and beach access. Small problems would be that’s it’s very dated, carpets in the bedrooms need replacing, beds are hard as rocks and the street noise is pretty bad at night. Aside from those little things it was a okay place. Would stay at Sterling Sands again but would definitely pick a different condo for the money!
