About this property

Gulf-front directly on beach, '25 beach service included--Autumn Flash Sale Now!

This condo has an ultra-private lanai overlooking our private beach and Gulf of Mexico--each photo has been taken from the actual unit you'd be renting, #408. This beachfront is one of the nicest, widest fine-sand beaches in all of Destin and the pool and sauna are always perfectly heated.

The nightly rate includes free daily reserved beach chair/umbrella service March 1-Oct. 31, 2025 only (management is eliminating prepaid beach service as of 1/1/26 when there will be daily/weekly rates only, paid by each guest.) The nightly rate will always include all occupancy, amenity usage and parking fees (all paid by the owner and included in your nightly rate--no hidden fees upon arrival). Sterling Sands is not only directly on the Gulf of Mexico, we are known for our beautiful, nicely heated pool and sauna overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

King bed in primary bedroom with bunk beds in second bedroom, all ceramic tile and carpeting in the bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with granite counter-tops and stainless steel appliances and full bathrooms with tubs, a Jacuzzi & granite sink-tops.

There are 3 large flat screen TV's, and the LR has a sleeper couch that has an awesome thick mattress when pulled out (it's a Cozy Mattress®), which allows for comfortable sleeping quarters for up to 4 adults or children in total. Open-style breezeway halls and 2 elevators and stairs if you prefer.

Watch dolphins on the comfortable, easy to move around lanai furniture (can even put portable table on Lanai for breakfast!) from this beautiful 4th floor perspective-not too high so you can't see the beach, not too low so people can see in. There is a fitness center and the pool is heated to 87 degrees year-round. You can have family gatherings using the gas grills provided by the building in the gazebo or just enjoy the widest, powder-soft sand beach Destin has to offer.

When you compare our 380 feet of beach and 110 unit building to others, you'll see you get much more beach for your own quiet enjoyment than anywhere else.

Absolutely no pets of any size, sorry. Also, "no emotional support animals". With advanced documentation we happily accept "service dogs", which I can clear with management ahead of time.

I've arranged for professional cleaning by a local company and please keep in mind this is a private condo building and not a hotel---there is no room service, additional towels, or bell-hop.

Prices and minimum nights' stay requirements are subject to change for future dates, prior to a firm reservation. Once your reservation is in place, nothing changes and your reservation is secure. If you have specific dates in mind please don't hesitate to use the "instant book" feature on this website so your dates don't get shut out.

Max Occupancy: 4 Humans (meaning, 4 adults OR children/babies, as per fire code) Please note: There is absolutely no way to add any more guests than 4 humans in total; there is a physical check-in process, security, and resort wristbands required (all included in the room rate) and you will forfeit your payments if you attempt to have more than 4 guests.

Parking is off street, free and more than ample with 240 spaces!

About the host

Hosted by Liz Harris

Host profile image
I'm the ultimate beach lover. Anything 'beach' as long as I'm facing directly to the ocean or Gulf and I can hear the surf. I like fun activities nearby too and fabulous restaurants and pubs. I'm a native New Yorker living in Kentucky for the last 30 years, but you can bet I'm visiting one of my beach places...Destin, Naples, Montauk or Isle of Palms...as often as possible.

Why they chose this property

Destin offers more than just the beach. It's easy to fly into or drive to, and has everything you need either a short walk or drive away, including the incredibly unique Harborwalk Village. Where else can you get world-class fishing, restaurants, shopping, golfing and powder-white sand steps away? You can catch the sunrise AND sunset from my private lanai. A very short beach walk away is famous and delicious 'The Back Porch'. Across the street is a totally stocked liquor store and next door to the liquor store is Merlin's Pizza. To vacation here is to have the best beach, the most gorgeous 4th floor views, while having the necessities nearby and convenient.

What makes this property unique

When I walked onto the Sterling Sands private beach and saw the dazzling turquoise surf, I knew I'd found the ultimate beach get-away. The updated kitchen and baths cinched it for me and the kids couldn't wait to sleep in the bunk beds made up just for them. There is also a fitness center, a meeting room with a kitchen for parties, outdoor grilling area, beautiful grounds and I have a maintenance team on-site for your needs. Also, I am always very easy to reach and will strive to make your vacation wonderful and memorable.
