This condo is great. Very short walk to beach and a great restaurant. Really enjoyed the two pools, grilling area and the wait service while on the beach. Only problem had the app did not give code for pool/beach gates and found out on last day that beach set up came with condo.

We lived our stay at Sterling Shores!

We have stayed at sterling shores for about 7 years and this has been our favorite 2 bedroom so far!! Everything was great. Comfortable beds and plenty of room. Just wish there had been a bigger skillet for cooking and a regular coffee pot. We had to use 2 small skillets to cook and bought a coffee pot at Walmart.

Love Sterling Shores. Second time staying here.

Only complaint was that the main pool was not being heated all week. Most of the guests spent time at the small pool by the beach. I heard many guest have issues with this.

Awesome!

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and these guys really made us feel special. We received complimentary drink holders while at the beach with our beach chairs and umbrella. Our room was clean, updated, spectacular view of the beach and a VERY short walk to the beach. Pool area was great, the restaurant across the street was delicious and a short walk from us. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

September 2018 Stay

This was our first stay in Destin and we absolutely loved it! The condo was immaculate and just as it was pictured. The staff here at Sterling Shores keep everything so well kept- we hardly ever saw them but you could tell everything was constantly addressed. The whole place is gorgeous- we will always choose Sterling Shores for our future stays in Destin and have already recommended to friends back home. Thank you for letting us stay- one of our favorite vacations thus far! Also, I can’t imagine there is a more beautiful condo than the one we stayed in.. we are sad to leave it.

Sterling shores is in a great location.

I think the grounds of the property could have been much cleaner. Also, the room i stayed in was okay, it needs an upgrade on living room sofas. Looks very dirty. Everything else is okay. With Covid still being a factor needs to be furniture you can wipe down. The sofas are very worn out the fabric.
