Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re honored that you chose to stay with us for your third visit to Sterling Sands, and even more thrilled to hear this was your favorite condo yet!
It means a lot to know you found the unit beautiful and exceptionally clean. We truly believe the location and that heated pool make all the difference, and we’re so glad you were able to enjoy both.
We can’t wait to welcome you back again next year! 🌴☀️
This ocean from view was stunning. We truly enjoyed our stay. The host was very friendly and clear about instructions. We appreciated the starter supplies of paper towels, soaps, trash bags, etc. The host also provided 4 beach chairs. It cost 55 a day to rent beach chairs, huge cost savings. The condo was clean and updated! Everything worked as intended.

Great space recently remodeled and well done. Great being on a lower floor. The beach chair situation was difficult the first day being on the 3rd row and having to watch kids at the beach. Hopefully the rules around beach chairs change soon or it will impact our decisions on where we vacation.

Nice property. Easy to park. Easy to get to the pool. Easy to check-in. Easy to get to the beach. Nice condo and very clean. Fabulously decorated. Beautiful view. The only complaint I'd give is for the terrible beds. Other than that -- nice stay and would return for sure.
