Great location with beautiful views

The condo was newly renovated so everything was nice, clean, and comfortable. The beach chairs were a plus. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

This was a very nice condo and beautiful beach - the people were very nice however the price given was not in fact the full amount. They increased it by 400.when they debuted my account and they charged each person a fee to use the pool. I would have selected another option if I had know that when pricing where to stay.

Ocean enjoyment

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It needed to be stocked better. No beach towels. No tissues. One roll of toilet paper per bathroom. A wine frig and no corkscrew. We purchased one. No spices of any kind. These things are items found in a rental normally. Otherwise, a very nice condo.

Great Condo

We used to live in Navarre beach. Came for a last minute trip and so glad this unit was available. This Condo was great with fantastic views of the Gulf and quick/easy access to the beach. Clean and beutiful decor and comfortable beds. Only complaints were not being able to access the outdoor closet with the extra beach chairs and beach toys, but the condo came with set-up of two chairs and umbrella so our girls just sat on towels. Internet was also out so we couldnt watch shows at night via our apps or take care of work-related stuff quickly, but we werent there for work ;) However, I will say our property manager, Elizabeth, was phenomonal and did everrythibg she could to assist us and make it an enjoyable visit.

Dear Kara, We thank you so much for sharing your experience in this amazing condo. It truly is a guest favaorite as the owner keeps it in pristine condition. The beach chairs are a huge plus also as not all condos come with beach service. It was unfortunate that we could not access the owner's closet. I am not sure we had the correct code that was given to us but we are efforting having this resolved. I appreciate the kind words about me as I try to resolve any issues as quickly as possible. Please note to that all returning guest to Sterling Sands Vacation Rentals will receive a repeat guest discount on any return visit. We hope to see you again in the near future. We thank you for choosing Sterling Sands On-Site vacation rental company. Regards, Elizabeth Love
