Great communication, condo as described. Great beach. Nicely stocked kitchen. all appliances new and perfect including ac and hot water heater. Nice balcony for morning coffee. Toilet had some mold under rim, took care of that myself, no need to get in a big fuss over it. Road noise a few of the nights. Pillows not my cup of tea. Thanks for stocking some Irish Spring soap. had not used that in years!

Robin went above and beyond to help me when I had to change from another condo at the last minute. I accidentally booked the wrong dates and I messaged her for help and she was more than willing to do everything she could to fix my error. She was able to add in the 2 days I needed and got me into the condo at 10pm. Asked me to message her so she knew the code worked and the condo was clean and ready for us. I cannot say enough good things about Robin as a host! The condo was brightly decorated and very cute. It was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The view was gorgeous, the property was clean, the pool was wonderful for the kids and adults. I have nothing but positive things to say about our week long stay at Sterling Sands and Robin!!! Thank you for making our vacation wonderful!

This place was just as described. It was very clean, beautiful and updated and had an amazing balcony overlooking the pool and ocean. It took just a couple minutes to walk down to the beach which was perfect. Host, Robin, was absolutely fantastic to work with. She reached out for any updates and was patient with me while I asked lots of questions about the location and the beach. Even when the tropical storm blew in, she reassured me of all the weather updates and what to expect. She was so quick to respond to all my questions and was so accommodating with us when we got in early and needed new codes. I would recommend this place and this host again and again. It was an amazing experience for my family of 4 and a great first beach experience for my girls who are 5 and 8. I always felt safe there, even with the girls out on the balcony. 100/10 experience!

Enjoyed our Stay

We liked this place because it didn’t have a lot of floors and people, which means not waiting long for elevators and having to be 3 rows back with the beach chairs/umbrellas, easy parking. Well maintained, family friendly.
