Sterling Sands 401 is Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Rare things- the white quartz derived sand of Destin’s beaches, the extraordinary amount of sunny days in Florida and the variety of wildlife found in the Gulf’s waters- are precious jewels worth treasuring. So it goes with Sterling Sands 401. One of the few condos in Sterling Sands to have three bedrooms, as of 2022, it also boasts all new furniture, appliances, washer/dryer and accoutrements coordinated by a decorator.
Already a stunning gem of a beachfront vacation rental, the designer interior shines with a ‘light and bright’ ambience. It’s cool plank floors, shiplap accents, sea glass tinted wall tiles, clean white kitchen and tranquil beach decor give off a spa-like vibe. In fact, each bedroom has something tranquil to offer. The two Primary suites each have balconies with beach views, sitting areas, luxury bathrooms with oversized tubs and walk-in showers while the third bedroom features a queen size bunk bed and a playful nautical theme.
One of the sparkliest facets of Sterling Sands 401 is its beachfront balcony. It spans the southern side of the condo and features a glass wall railing so that nothing obscures the gorgeous beach views. A bistro table and fine outdoor furnishings make the balcony an ideal place to take in brilliant sunsets over the water. Guests of Sterling Sands are also privy to some very attractive amenities. The spacious pool deck, fitness center, and grill cabana are among the perks along with deeded beach access just for Sterling Sands renters. Plus, this Destin vacation condo is within walking distance of Big Kahuna’s Waterpark, The Track recreation center and plenty of beach shops and restaurants.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled your family had a wonderful time with us. Your satisfaction means everything to our team, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime.
We loved our stay here the condo was very nice the hosts were very accommodating and there was so much to do in the area!! We would definitely love to go back!!
This is a beautiful, well-stocked condo. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, the kitchen has everything we needed, the views were great and the property was extremely clean, smoke-free, and well-kept. One thing that made the stay difficult: The road noise at this condo was extremely loud. It’s an end-unit and you can hear all of the standard road noise plus the added bonus of motorcycles and street racing going by. One of the primary suites is difficult to sleep in for this reason. Overall a great value for a 3 bedroom on the beach.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the spaciousness, cleanliness, and kitchen amenities. Your point about the road noise is really valuable—we appreciate you bringing that to our attention. Since we're on a busy street, this is definitely something potential guests should know about when booking.
We'd love to have you back and hope you'll give us another chance. If you do return, we'd be happy to discuss room preferences that might minimize the noise impact.
Thank you for choosing us!
The property itself was great and nicely decorated. The minor problems were dull knives and lack of lids for cookware. This isn’t the condo owners fault, but had issues with elevator maintenance all week, construction noise, amenity fee payment request when I already paid. That has more to do with timing and the property manager.

We had some initial issues but ultimately a great stay! Had to move from our first condo due to construction in above unit. 2nd condo had beautiful view but maintenance had to address some issues and they were attentive. Destin in December is hit or miss with with the weather and it rained almost entire trip BUT the beach is so GORGEOUS that we enjoyed it despite the rain!

We had a great time and really enjoyed this condo. It was very spacious and had updated furniture and fixtures. The beach access was easy and the heated pool was perfect during the cold days between Christmas and New Years. We will definitely return to this place someday.

We had 2 families with children in our group and this condo fit us perfectly! Great location, short walk to beach, everything we needed for a great vacation. Condo was exactly as described.
My family booked this rental as an end of the Summer trip and we absolutely loved it! The front desk welcomed us with floating tubes for my kids, the condo was spotless with an amazing view and came with front row beach chairs that made our stay even better! Would definitely recommend and return!
Another successful trip to Destin. This is a great condo. There were minimal issues with the refrigerator, but everything else was great and as listed on VRBO. This was our 4th time at Sterling Sands (a different condo each year). It’s a great spot!

The place was incredible! It looked exactly as it did online. So wonderful to wake up on the beach every day. The place was clean, the pool was clean, and the beach was powdered sugar sand. Everything was amazing. We would definitely stay again. Grateful for a nice place like this to go to.

Beautiful condo with the perfect location! This was a new property for our annual Destin vacation. The condo was perfectly set up with two separate master bedrooms and a kid room. We had a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

I absolutely loved this beach condo! My sister and I took my two small boys to the beach for a few days and it was such a lovely condo, the atmosphere was peaceful and felt highend. The kitchen had everything we needed, the view is spectacular. Having two king bedroom suites felt amazing and the kids loved the bunk beds. The parking is easy and super close, luggage carts were easy to grab and the walk down to the beach is insanely close! My only suggestion to owners would be to brighten the bunk room up, the kids were feeling a bit left out once they saw the other two rooms haha. It was a special condo i felt lucky to have found and would definitely book again. We were there in Jan and the pool is HEATED to a super comfrtable temp (guessing it was about 92 degrees) and the hot tub is HOT. The snowbirds were all super friendly.

We loved the condo and everything was perfect in it but the management company not so much. The gym was closed and we weren’t aware and there was zero compensation or care about it. Also renting of the beach chairs should be mentioned because they show pics of them and we would’ve brought our own.

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review of your recent stay. We were happy to see that you enjoyed the condo and found it perfect but were not pleased with the Silver Sands property. The gym was closed for repairs by the building’s HomeOwner’s Associatiion… a completely separate entity from Newman-Dailey Resort Properties. As this was considered a complimentary amenity provided by the HOA there were no additional monies collected or available for compensation. Seasonal Beach Service was available during your stay. All that is required is to register with the HOA located on the property. Guests are advised of this several times by text before their stays begin, but we are genuinely sorry if this was miscommunicated in some way. We look forward to hosting you again at the Beach!
We had a great time. We arrived after hours and all the items we needed for our stay were on the counter. The condo was spacious for the 5 of us. The condo was on the end so we had a wrap around spacious deck. There was a small private deck off the spacious 2nd bedroom. We had 2 dedicated beach chairs of which we purchased 2 more since someone was always in the water. We had a dedicated parking space. In the morning we were able to see dolphins moving down the coastline. We were 0.4 miles from the Back Porch, one of our two favorite places to eat in Destin, so we were able to walk there one evening. The view was great, the condo was great and we all had a great time.
This room is insanely beautiful! Looks just like the pictures. Both king room suites were so spacious with huge closets and big bathrooms! The bunk room has bean bag chairs which the kids loved! Since it’s a corner room, you can see everything around you through the windows. It was right across the street from Alvin’s Island, Merlin’s Pizza which was pretty good, and also a Liquer store. It was located 5 min from Starbucks and the mall etc. the grocery stores were all really close - Publix, Walmart and whole foods. The beach was insanely beautiful. The room came with one umbrella and 2 chairs per day with the option to rent more. We had a blast and would def stay again! Don’t hesitate to book! Honestly the only downside was maybe the beds could have been a little more comfy but I’m spoiled with the one I have at home and also maybe I’m just getting older. It wouldn’t stop be from staying again.. that’s for sure! Loved our time here and will be back!
