About this property

Highly rated 3 br family condo in the heart of Destin- NOW booking for 2026!

Note from the owner: To protect your vacation investment (and ours), we do not rent outside of a rental platform and VRBO handles all payments. Thank you! **Please note there are renovations taking place on the outside of the condo building until December 2025. There may be some noise between 8-5 and walkways marked off.***

This second floor 3 br 2 ba unit is family friendly- no need to wait on the elevator if you don’t want to. Because we are a family listing, we have a strict rental age policy and require individuals age 25 or older to be present at all times.

The master suite features a king sized bed, large closet, private bath and smart tv. It also has balcony access. You can wake up to the sound of the ocean waves! A second bedroom has a queen bed and a bathroom. It also has a smart tv. A third bedroom has a bunk bed with twin and double beds. This room is perfect for multiple children.

The stylish living room has a sleeper sofa, comfy chairs and a large smart tv.

The balcony offers chaise lounges, chairs and tables to allow you to watch the sunset, enjoy the sight of the palm trees and listen to the ocean waves! (Note: the exact view from the condo is provided in the listing pics- this is not an ocean view unit)

The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, blender, toaster and coffee maker. There are plenty of cooking supplies if you decide to eat in!

We also have several beach chairs and available for use or you can rent chairs on the beach (for a fee). Please note at Sterling Shores (much like other Destin condos), chairs will have to be set behind the rented chairs.

The unit includes a laundry room with a full washer and dryer- no need to go to a common space to wash clothes.

Wifi is included. There will be towels and bedding for the number of people on the reservation- up to the maximum of 9 people. We provide an initial supply of toiletries (except shampoo), soap, trash bags, etc for your stay!

Family gathering

Small family gathering space enough for 4 of us on the beach. Clean, affordable, plenty of extras for us to enjoy cooking or going out to eat and stuff to hit the beach for the afternoon. Don’t forget your beach towels and sunscreen that’s all you will need to enjoy your stay.

Best Stay at Sterling Shores

We have stayed at Sterling Shores complex several times and we always enjoy the complex amenities, pools, gorgeous beach close to nearby attractions. But this was by far our favorite unit. The lay out was perfect for our group and we could have comfortably fit a few more people in there without feeling cramped or on top of each others. The kitchen was nicely stocked with essentials and the bonus beach chairs and toys were great for going to the beach everyday!

Extended Family Vacation

We just left and had an amazing stay. My husband, myself, two toddlers and my parents all stayed and never once felt crowded. These hosts have thought of absolutely everything! Everyday my mom would notice something new and be so impressed they thought to include it. Ranging from beach toys &chairs, to a kitchen with Tupperware to pack beach snacks and even a mixer if you were planning on baking! There was a pack n play which worked perfect when my older son didn’t want to sleep in the big boy bunk beds anymore after a couple of nights. The in unit washer & dryer was awesome to help cut back on amount we packed and amount of dirty clothes coming home. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking to visit Destin!

Super clean and wonderful Hosts! :)

Erin was super helpful and quick to respond to questions. Check-in worked at exactly 4:00pm. The condo was very clean and well stocked… and well decorated. 🤗 The start-up supplies provided were also great.. and we actually made it through almost the entire week without needing to purchase more. We loved the convenience of the condo being a short walk to the elevator and near the stairs for a quick trip up/down the one floor instead. The beach chairs and beach toys were an added bonus… so save the space and leave yours at home!! 🙌🏼 We have been coming to SS for years and we feel the location is perfect. Easy and delicious Backporch lunches or dinners with nighttime ice cream, caramel apples or chocolate treats at Candy Maker are the best. Being across the street from Walmart makes it quick and easy to grab any needed supplies. The main pool is wonderful but the convenience of the beachside pool and bathroom is awesome!! We love the beach but it always feels so great to cool off with a quick, refreshing dip in the pool!! 🌴💛 Thank you, Erin, for sharing your space with us!! ☺️

Very convenient location

Great location. During peak season traffic can be a nightmare in the evenings while trying to get to dinner. This location is very convenient to most of the restaurants we typically dine at and just a short walk across the street to The Back Porch. The pools were nice and the landscaping around the resort was very well taken care of. The room was nice and clean. It had almost everything we needed to complete the stay including chairs, umbrellas, and toys for the kids.
