Best condo we have stayed at

This condo was like staying at home. Plenty of room for everyone, appreciated the little touches like books, board games etc. plenty of room and kitchen appliances to eat in. And a beautiful short walk to beach. Also a nice extra was this condo owner reserved 2 chairs and an umbrella for our stay. Would stay here again just for that , Overall best condo in Destin by far

Perfect Beach Getaway

We loved the condo at Sterling Shores. We traveled as a family of 5 with our 3 children ages 12, 7, and 4. We felt right at home in the condo and it had everything we needed. The wagon and boogie boards in the closet were an added bonus for the beach. The beach was an easy 5 minute walk from the condo and we enjoyed renting chairs right on the beach. If you don't want to rent chairs you will want to bring your own as their arent any in the condo. Same for beach towels. When the kids were done in the ocean we loved the pool and spent hours there as well. The Back Porch restaurant is just across the street and there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. We did not rent a car and found Uber to be pretty conveneient for getting us where we wanted to go although we never went to far! Also, the couch in the living room does pull out into a bed (don't think that's noted) so that was an added bonus. There were lots of family games provided which made for a fun option when taking a break from the sun. All in all we'd definitely stay here again!!!

Comfy, clean stay

We loved our stay in this unit. Beds were very comfortable, & the unit was quiet and away from the elevators. You can tell the owners have really invested in this unit. Only wish there were towel rods or hooks in the main bathroom. Would definitely love to stay in the unit again.

Amazing!!

Everything about this place was wonderful! It felt like a home away from home with everything we needed to feel comfortable. The patio was so spacious and the view was absolutely beautiful. The two free beach chairs with an umbrella was a pleasant surprise! I would return in a heartbeat!

Family Vacay

From booking this property to leaving on the last day was a seamless, easy process. Plenty of room for all of us. The staff at the “front desk” were helpful, nice, and accommodating. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I could nit pick would be the shower in the master bath—not enough water pressure and hot water. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again! The beach was heavenly, and the pools were fantastic. We loved the beach, and the guys who provided the beach service were awesome!

Full of Charm

Had an amazing time. My baby girls were so happy and they would point something new out every day. They absolutely loved the room and my little one played with the blocks every morning in the living space. Thank you for putting your touch on it.

Stunning! Perfect condo

This condo was absolutely beautiful! It was roomy and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Our kids loved the double beds in the front room. The view of the pool and beach was gorgeous. It was clean, smelt nice and we will definitely be back again to stay in this exact condo. The location in Destin was central to everything. The property itself was well taken care of and the fact that everything was gated, including access to the pool and beach was very nice.

Fantastic stay

Everything was perfect. The kids loved the pool the most. The beach was a short walk but not too bad. The worst part about the whole stay was waiting in the elevators but honestly that wasn't horrible. The kitchen was stocked with all the needed utensils, pans, and even a crock pot. I would reccomend and stay again.

Nice place; great location; pretty pool!

The view was amazing; the sunsets were our favorite, looking out the balcony. The lagoon pool was nice to see. The balcony itself was very roomy, and one of the reasons I chose this Condo; it has plenty of seating and table to eat at. The inside of the Condo was very clean and nicely decorated, just a little Outdated in wall deco. The kitchen was very nice, but needed to have some of the household staples that usually any Condo has, whether left by others or Provided by the owner. We had to make too many trips to Walmart to get them: Saran Wrap, foil, more paper towels/napkins, more toilet paper, dish soap, coffee filters, seasoning, etc. When you're on vacation for 5 days, you don't want to Have to go buy all that stuff. We don't know if the maids take it all or the owner uses what's left by people, but there has to be some left! Or the owner should provide it for the Condo. The beaches are nice and clean; the sand is soft and white there. It's nice to have the extra pool by the beach, accessible via code, and the walk-up bar area. It was definately worth renting the umbrella and Chairs for The day. And the Sterling Shores renters get $10 off. I couldn't wait to eat at The Back Porch restaurant at the beach, walking distance from Condo. It was very good food! You have to try the smoked tuna dip for an appetizer! Check-in and check-out were very easy. Although the website says Sterling Shores has an on-site restaurant, we never saw one, except for the bar/grill out by beach pool. We had a Nice time. Can't wait to go back!
