About this property

Relax on your balcony with a stunning view of the gulf.

Sterling Sands is located directly on the Gulf with a beach that boasts 380 feet of sugar white sand. This complex features a heated pool, hot tub, barbecue grills with picnic area and fitness room.

This well appointed condo is decorated in a beach theme with fabulous 7th floor views from both the living area and the balcony. Morning coffee on the balcony is not only a relaxing start to your day, but also affords you a chance to watch the dolphins on their morning swim. Modern updates include granite countertops, tile flooring and new cabinetry in the kitchen and baths. Other updates include stainless steel appliances, and a full sized washer/dryer.

The 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo features a master bedroom with a king size bed and full bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and private access to the second full bath in the unit. The kitchen offers an oversized snack bar plus separate table and chairs. A new sectional has generous seating to enjoy views of the gulf, or your favorite TV shows on the 62” television. Also included at no additional fee is free WiFi and expanded cable.
Located in the heart of Destin you will find easy access to an endless array of activities. In addition to golf, kayaking, parasailing, bumper cars, miniature golf and more, Destin provides unlimited choices for casual and fine dining. You will find multiple shopping venues such as Harbor Walk, an expanded Destin Commons and the Silver Sands outlet mall all within a short drive. Opportunities for deep sea fishing and watercraft rental are abundant in the area.

Our complex is large enough to provide great amenities but small enough to provide a peaceful, family friendly vacation. Sterling Sands is one of the most sought after complexes in the area.
Our maintenance program has on site staff available daily for any service issues that may arise within the unit. A $15 per person amenity fee will be charged at registration. Book now while your dates are still available!* 10% discount on most fall and spring rates!

Having stayed at dozens of short term vacation rentals, Charlie stands out as probably the most communicative host I’ve encountered. He was great to deal with. Condo is clean, comfortable, and as-pictured. Plenty to do nearby and the condo itself seems well managed. My one gripe about this area has nothing to do with the hosts, but rather the Destin beach scene itself. Each morning at sunrise these chair/beach umbrella rental companies line the edge of the beach with their chairs and umbrellas that are available to rent for an added cost. If you wish to just lay out on the beach on a towel or your own chairs you’re stuck behind these rental company chairs which particularly early in the AM are largely unoccupied. Coming from the Tampa area this was off putting, but again has nothing to do with the hosts. If you’re coming to the Destin area I highly recommend this condo.
