GULF VIEWS IN A PREMIER RESORT!! GREAT RATES!
Welcome to Sterling Shores Resort & Unit 518.
This platinum rated three bedroom –two full bath condominium, completely renovated, is located in a premier resort. Sterling Shores is located just off Highway 98East, offers more than any other resort development in Destin. And Unit 518 offers you the most luxurious experience.
The resort is doing a waterproofing project that will end on January 30th 2026, at some times there will be some noise and there will be workers present from 8 to 5 Monday through Friday
From the balcony you’ll see Sterling Shores’ many amenities that make it the perfect Family vacation spot. First, there are spectacular gulf views. You quickly see that you are closer to the world’s most beautiful beach than other Destin resorts. Next, you will see beautiful grounds surrounding the massive lagoon pool and the separate private beach front pool & gazebo with a terrific café that serves amazing burgers, sandwiches & a wide selection of drinks. You’ll also find nearby dining options for your entire Family. The Back Porch fronts the gulf and offers the best in local seafood dining in a Family friendly setting; or a take a short stroll to the Ruth’s Chris with its patio grill & bar that offers a more casual service & drinks. After dining, wander over for ice cream at the eclectic Candy Store located just down the street. Finally, take in a movie in the theater just off the Sterling Shores lobby. When you’re back just relax and enjoy the view from the balcony, furnished with beautiful teak loungers, tables and chairs. \
The living area is gorgeous. Stylish furniture, lamps & rugs were added, including a new sectional w/ a pull out queen sleeper. The new 55” Samsung SMART TV has 2 HDMI outlets and a cable box providing expanded channels and crisp HD picture quality. The décor is comfortable and elegant. The large mirror placed over the sofa adds dimension to the room and expanded views of the gulf.
The contemporary dining set comfortably seats six. And, it’s an easy step to the kitchen with everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. The kitchen has been completely upgraded with a Kenmore Elite Stainless Steel appliances and a new high speed blender. The tiled backsplash brings the look together.
The MASTER SUITE is stunning with new driftwood floor tile. It has a 1080p Flat Screen TV. From the KING bed, enjoy a wonderful gulf view or watch television while you’re relaxing. The driftwood tile carries through into the master bath which has both a jetted garden tub and a separate shower along with new granite counter tops and newly faux finish cabinets.
The 2ND MASTER has also been completely remodeled with a new TEMPERPEDIC QUEEN bed, new linens, drapery, and the driftwood tile flooring. There is also a flat screen TV.
The 3RD BEDROOM also has new décor with child friendly twin over full bunk beds and plenty of room for quiet playtime or viewing the flat screen TV w/ DVD player. The 2nd & 3rd bedrooms share a full bath that also has the new driftwood tile and new granite counters.
The brand new washer and dryer in the walk-in laundry room will keep your beach things clean and fresh.
These original Sterling Shores owners take pride in their beach home and have spared no expense to make sure your Family has a wonderful stay in Destin. The condo easily accommodates up to 8 people and is just the place for the best Family vacation ever.
