Escape to the Emerald Coast for a well-deserved vacation and enjoy incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico from your private, furnished balcony. Stroll across the attached boardwalks to the adjacent beach for days of fun in the sun, stay close to home and take a dip in the heated pool, or work up a sweat in the on-site fitness center. There's a little something for everyone here at this sparkling, Sterling Sands condo.

You'll find a number of opportunities for fun at places like the Track where you can hop in a go-kart, play mini-golf, or brave the SkyFlyer, all right across the street. Race down some incredible water slides at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park, less than a mile west. Or visit 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.

My perfect getaway

Everything was perfect for me, only the balcony chairs were very old and I didn't like them to take some photos on the beautiful balcony.

Gorgeous, Spacious Condo

Wow! This place was really impressive. The Master bedroom, closet, and bathroom were HUGE. We had a wonderful family vacation and thought it worth every penny. On top of that, everyone we encountered in the elevators, at the beach, etc were all so friendly. Sterling Sands is a 10 out of 10!!

Unfulfilled Potential

Location, size and of the building our unit was all that we were looking for. The view from this eighth floor unit was beautiful. The unit was absolutely spotless, but could have been better maintained. The check-in process was very smooth from the property management standpoint. However, getting the parking pass and pool access wristbands from the HOA was a bit of a pain in the backside. The HOA also changed the pool / beach code without notifying the rental property manager, who had given us the old code. That was not the property manager’s fault. As much as we liked the unit the horrible mattresses on all beds were painful to sleep on an definitely hurt the overall score on this unit. The sofas were also very uncomfortable. Last little issue dealt with the lack of good pans and a slow cooker in the kitchen which we have come to expect from units in this price range. This unit is three mattresses, one sofa, one love seat, better balcony furniture, more comfortable dining chairs and better kitchen ware away from a solid 5 star rating. Sad to see such unfulfilled potential.

Second stay @Sterling Sands

Condo was exceptionally clean and check in and out was super easy. The air quit the first night we were there and they offered to have someone come out and look at it at 11pm! I can’t say enough good about our experience here!

Sterling Sands Vacation

Been staying at Sterling Sands Condo's for about 12 years and love the location and the quality of the condo's, however for the last 2 years that we have stayed there only one of the two elevators has worked with a constant wait in line to get on the elevator. Hopefully, management will correct this problem before people start looking elsewhere for a place to stay. There were many tenants unhappy about this as well as myself. I will ask if both elevators are working before I book another stay. TBJ

Nice Vacation

We had a really nice time, the condo was clean and spacious. The beds are horrible, hard and uncomfortable even the twin beds. Few things I wish someone would have gave us the heads up on. Bring a sleep mask if you want to sleep past 6am in the master bedroom. Bring your own knife and cutting board if you plan to cook. If you want frozen drinks bring a blender because theirs has mold growing in it. And while you do have access to the beach, if you want a descent spot you have to rent from a vender and pay $30 a day for their umbrellas and two chairs that give you boils. So if you rent from them make sure you sit on a towel, then disinfect it. Other wise you can bring your own umbrella and chairs you just have to have their permission where to sit up. It was very misleading and disappointing when we got there. You’re paying a lot of money to be on the beach and have access to it only to find out you have to pay more money if you want a good spot. Oh and they take the chairs and umbrellas down at 5pm. The pool is way too small and over crowded, it also smelled really bad down there. The smell even drifted up to the 8th floor balcony. The construction is a pain on the highway, getting out to go somewhere especially. And house keeping is pretty much ready to barge in on you before you get completely out even at 9am when check out is 10 am. I thought that was rude and unprofessional. They want to charge you $75 to check in early. We checked out an hour early but we didn’t get $75 back. Joke. I wouldn’t recommend this place for this price. I’m sure you can find a better vacation spot. We love Destin but we will not return to Sterling Sands.

Beautiful view! Beautiful Condo!

What a pretty place to stay! The condo was beautiful! The view was beautiful! The only complaint we had was a few panels of the vertical blinds were missing in the bedroom, hence the 4 star rating. This makes for quite an early wake up when the the sun comes up, especially reflecting off that gorgeous white sand! Otherwise, we were very pleased with the unit, the building and the location.

It's was perfect! The condo was exactly as the listing was described and photographed

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in 813. It was clean, elegantly furnished, and had new appliances. It was spacious. Also, the bedrooms had comfy mattresses, while the bathrooms had lots of counter space for the girls hair and makeup stuff. The view was just gorgeous from the balcony. We enjoyed being so close to The Track , Big Kahaunas and a variety of restaurants. Grocery stores and shopping places were close by too. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. They were great. The pool area was large and the beach was just steps away.
