About this property

Stunning, waterfront home with Gulf views, pool & fitness room access

Summary:

Sterling Sands 205



The Space:

It's all about the view at this Gulf front rental on the Emerald Coast! Prepare meals in your full kitchen, put your feet up and breathe in the salty sea air from your private, furnished balcony, or head downstairs and experience all the on-site, resort amenities including a large, heated pool, fitness room, and an outdoor grilling area.



While the beach is just steps from your rental, you'll find even more opportunities for fun in the sun at places like the Track where you can hop in a go-kart, play mini-golf, or brave the SkyFlyer, located right across the street. Race down some incredible water slides at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, less than a mile west. Or head to Henderson Beach State Park, a mile-and-a-half east, where you can hike the nature trail, do a little fishing, or relax on the warm sands.

We got excellent service from the get go from the staff at Sterling Sands Resort. The maintenance man Tom was very helpful from the get go. He took us to Kayla who was more than helpful throughout our whole stay. That place rocks and the Staff were Rockstars. I will definitely recommend and we will be back. Thank again. It was all worth it. Every minute.

Destin condo - great family vacation spot

The view was the best part! East access to pool and beach was nice. Great location near everything we needed. Condo needs a skillet. I’ll bring one next time. Would definitely vacation here again.

The only complaint was, there were only 3 forks in entire condo and one very small frying pan which made it difficult to cook.

Amazing place!

My parents and I stayed here with little ones and it was perfect. One of the most spacious two bedroom condo I’ve ever stayed at. In unit laundry and full size kitchen appliances. Huge balcony and easy walk to pool and the beach. Also the cleanest condo pool I’ve ever seen

Great Beachfront Condo for a Family

Overall, this condo was great for our family. The positives: check-in was easy, the location was great, size was perfect for a five-person family, and the price was reasonable. The negatives: the carpet and living room furniture badly needs replacing.

Excellent location

Excellent location with beach access, well decorated. The only problem is "carpet" that is extremely dirty. It definitely needs a change for hard floors, having into consideration that this is a vacation wet condo.

Great view. Clean. Big place. Enjoyed it. Now sure why we had to take out the trash and start the dish washer, when we paid for a cleaning fee...not the biggest issue, but slightly annoying.

June 2018 Stay

Always enjoy our stay at Sterling Sands. We normally have A 3 bedroom on the side and really enjoy those on the East end. This year we had another couple join us and so we leased two 2 bedroom units. They were both excellent and there is not a bad view in the entire property. Love the small property and private beach.

Loved our trip and condo

The condo was awesome very clean, nice and the view was amazing. The pool was heated and had a hot tub. They had plenty of pool chairs and tables. The private beach access was awesome. The only things I thought that needed some improvements were the stove, and the dryer. The dryer took forever to dry clothes and the stove top burners were not level so cooking was a little difficult. Other than that we had a great time, made some memoriesand it was well worth every penny. We would definitely book this condo again!

Our stay was exceptional!! Condo was clean and spacious and decorated beautifully!!! (Better in person, pictures do not do justice. We were pleasantly surprised!) The condo also had everything we needed!!! Pool was clean and beautiful!! Beach was steps away! Everyone was so nice. Front desk receptionist was awesome too. We will be back next year!

Very nice condo

My only gripe was if you wanted to sit on the beach in your own chair, you had to rent a chair, and then they allowed you to sit in your own chair. They said it’s to not block the view of the chair renters, but they allowed it if you rented from them... just a way to make money.

I am so sorry for the issue you had while you were staying with us with the beach service. The Home Owner's Association are actually the ones that hire them so I will be sure to pass this along to the Manager so that he will be made aware. Other then the beach service issue I do hope you enjoyed yourself and will come back to see us again.
