Destin Sterling Sands condo 701
Location was great. Close to good seafood restaurants, boat rentals. On arrival there was a fishy smell from the refrigerator and the ice maker did not work. The carpet in the twin bedroom was in dire need of replacement. Dirty and stained. Housekeeping had used a carpet fresher. It was so strong it stunk and gave me a headache. I texted Vacasa about the ice maker, washer, dryer not working and they apologized and told me someone would be there the next day. No update was sent so I assumed no one came. I’ve maker started working on its own. Texted them again and once again they apologized and told me they were going to contact the local manager and have someone come out. Next day no one came no update was text to me. At that point it is day 3 no clean towels. I went to call the lobby and of course the phone did not work. I called from my cell and talked to a nice lady who said they were never notified of any problems. She bought has fresh towels. I told her we never used the dishwasher because it also stank so not sure if it worked. Never connected to the Wi-Fi because the address was never found on my phone. The price I payed definitely did not match the condition of the condo or the service we did not get. Would not stay here again

Disappointed for sure.
Although we had a nice time, we were disappointed with the property, especially considering what we paid to stay there. While the condo was "clean", it was in need of some TLC for sure. The carpets were super worn and dirty, the mattresses were not comfortable and the fitted sheets did not fit the mattresses or stay on them while sleeping, we could not locate the remote control to the TV in the main living area so could not tell if it was a smart TV or not, and the parking garage space that was advertised/included as part of the rental was not usable as it was piled full of old appliances/furniture. Also, the "welcome" mat to enter the condo was super gross-and this was the first thing we saw when we arrived. I almost bought a $10 new door mat at Walmart to leave behind. While we enjoyed our stay with family, we unfortunately will not be back to this unit.

Relaxing Spring Break
We absolutely LOVED our view and location for the local restaurants and shops. We did find it a bit much to have to pay the additional $20 per vehicle for parking, as well as the $5 per person for wristbands. After spending all that money for the place, we would’ve hoped that would’ve been included. Otherwise the staff was very good about cleaning the elevators on a daily basis and keeping the grounds clean. We would definitely come here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. We needed 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and this was perfect. We stayed in a different unit last year. Both were great. The picture of the living area is not updated on the website. The couch and chairs have been changed to a couch and loveseat. I loved the blue color. The refrigerator water /ice dispenser panel was off so there was no water and the ice maker did not work. Door shelves were not there. Only had small skillets and no hot pads. Easy fixes.

This was a great choice for two families! Lots of space and we never felt crowded. Great views and location. Sure furniture is a tad outdated and worn but that did not bother us since we had young children that like to pick up things and play on furniture.

Condo is large and spacious with excellent views. Furniture is a bit stained and some minor damages to the walls and refrigerator (missing door shelves). Its a rental so some damages were expected. The beds were very clean and comfortable. Unit has two beverage refrigerators but only one worked. On day three of our stay we experienced low water pressure and reported it to the manager Tawnya. Tawnya was very responsive and had the problem addressed and corrected within minutes. Like other reviews we did experience one elevator was not working at the beginning of the week, but that too was corrected mid week. Would stay there again as the beach was very nice

Great complex, unit needs some TLC
The complex was perfect. Right on the beach, close to shops and entertainment. The heated pool was great for a Thanksgiving week trip and the hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great time. Our unit needs some updating. The carpets were old and dirty and the furniture was the same.
