Everything was great except too many rules for me…I.e. must always wear wristbands, no smoking anywhere except far away near a very busy street, security (the female one) is just rude, and etc.

Great location!
Myself and my two teenage daughters enjoyed our recent trip to Destin. The condo was very clean and well appointed. The location couldn’t be better for both enjoying the beautiful beaches or shopping and dining around town. We will definitely consider it again for future stays.

Not very kid friendly
There was no plastic dining ware for children to use. I had a 1 and 3 year old with me. No single pool or beach amenity in the room to share/use. Outlet covers falling off walls, light switches that do nothing, ceiling fans that don’t work. Had to pay $50/day for beach umbrella/2 chairs. $10/person for a pool wristband and parking pass. So factor that into the cost.

would stay here again
this was a great location. didnt like that the garage was so dark from the pool to the elevators. Everythign is locked down with door codes which is great except for the garage area. One day we had someone strange man just walking around the garage and made you feel a little uncomfortable. Did not like that you to rent the chairs to site close the beach. I was told that I had to set up behind the chairs with my blanket. I do not like to have a chair and umbrella I use just my blanket. Makes it hard to watch the kids in the water if I have to be behind the chairs. Grounds were very well kept the tile floors in the unit can use a good cleaning. We really did enjoy our time and I would consider staying in this unit again. We like to come to Destin every oct.

Vacationer beware
As we walked into the unit, I saw stained sheets rolled and taped up (presumably for the fold out couch). It appeared to be a blood stain. This prompted me to look around. There was some sort of sticky read frozen liquid in the freezer left from the previous guest. There was no less than three different types of hair on the rug in the master bathroom. None of the matching ours. The sliding glass door did not lock and there was no board or stick to secure it. Even though it is on an upper floor it would be easy from someone next door to get to the unit. I brought all of these things to managements attention only to have them hand us a broom to break off our self. They offered to re-clean the room But I had already re-cleaned everything myself because at that point I didn’t trust their abilities. After I left I spoke with the Vacasa management team. He told me that he had been advised by his group that everything had been checked before I got there. Pretty much making it seem like I had lied about the issues. The location is beautiful! The beach is beautiful! We had a great time at the pool! But just be advised they don’t do a great job on cleaning and there’s a lot of rundown things about this unit. The master sink is loose, the shower doesn’t drain, And I already mentioned the sliding glass door.

False Advertising
This property is advertised as having two adult sized beds, a king and queen. Upon arriving, we found single bunk beds in one room instead of the queen. Nowhere in the photos or description does it mention having single sized bunk beds. This was extremely frustrating as we had two married couples in the condo. My husband and I could not even sleep in the same bed together on this vacation. Complete false advertising. Would NOT recommend.

Beautiful Clean Condo
The condo was amazing and very clean. I will definitely stay here again. I had a little problem getting in and at first the person at the desk was not very helpful. However after she called her manager they were able to figure it out and get me a code that worked. Overall I loved the condo.

Clean and very nice condo. The only downside is that you have to rent beach chairs at the beach. The rules of the HOA did not allow personal umbrellas.

Great location and amenities
Great location and nice to have pool/beach access. Master bath shower drain needs to be cleaned. Standing in water while showering is nasty. Also broken window blinds in master bedroom which allows anyone outside to see in which is unacceptable. Somewhat disappointed on how outdated unit was. Definitely could use some work.

Pros & cons…
We would stay at the facility again, but not in this u it again. There were way too many “cons” on the list. We were there over the long Thanksgiving weekend and it was fine for a short stay but wouldn’t have wanted that for a longer stay. We really wanted to be fair here, so this is a pretty comprehensive list. We travel a lot and are super familiar/comfortable with this type of rental. We had two adults and two grown kids (20 & 25.) Pros: Spectacular view Comfy couches Comfy beds Soft, comfy blankets, rugs and pillows Located near lots of restaurants and activities Nice outdoor patio furniture Outdoor area is well kept Cons: EVERY single wall needs to be painted and needs some type of repair! There are screws and nails coming out of the wall everywhere from changed/moved items on walls. Dated decor - mirrors everywhere, carpet feels icky in bedrooms The bed in the 2nd bedroom literally goes from one wall to the other (headboard to footboard). You cannot walk around the bed. You have to climb off of it from the far side, climbing over the other person. Should definitely be a bunk bed situation in there! Something smelled dead in the 2nd bathroom the entire time, like there was something dead in a vent. The ice maker makes almost no ice. So many of the outlets do not work in every room. Most of the top outlets in the master bedroom didn’t work and some in the 2nd bedroom as well. Tv in 2nd bedroom is the size of a laptop screen and has no remote so you have to control it using buttons on the back. Sliding bathroom door to 2nd bedroom sticks pretty badly. Glass doors out to patio are EXTREMELY difficult to open. One elevator wasn’t working a good portion of the time and both were super slow. Wi-Fi is very spotty. Don’t plan on working remotely or attending class while you’re there. Smoke detector dangling from the ceiling in hallway.

Beautiful view, but…
Overall, it was a good property for the money. There were issues with the first unit, as they never sent the door code before arrival, and once they did, it didn’t work-frustrating after a long ride. After being let in by security, we took a walk on the beach, we couldn’t get in, as the door code was still not working, and there was a locksmith there for sometime. Overall, we didn’t have access for 3-4 hours. We did get compensated by being given an extra night in another unit. The location was great, and the second unit was in better shape than the first.

What a beautiful view we had from the condo every day. It was always sad when the sun would set and take away the gorgeous view. No major complaints re the property. Only things I would recommend would be to update the master bathroom and add more cookware, etc to the kitchen. Other than that, all was perfect. We loved the beach! Renting umbrellas/chairs on property was added bonus plus the snow cones for sale. Was a great vacation!!!

Our Stay At Sterling
We love the room and the view. Our bed obviously had not been cleaned or the sheets changed. We discovered food crumbs and stains from the food in our bed. Reported our finding to the front desk. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves, however for the money paid we expect quality level of cleanliness for what we pay for.

Great Stay
Had a short get away trip and would stay at this property again. Easy in and out of the condo and I like the large parking lot being on the premises and not across the street. The condo itself needs minimal upkeep but in no way was an issue. The pool and workout room was nice but the view was the best!

Great views but noisy
A great patio set for beach/ocean views from the terrace. Interior style is a little dated but furnishings were in excellent condition and overall it was very clean with no odors. However, with the bedrooms being located on the street side there was a lot of traffic noise at night which we had to tolerate. It is conveniently located to many restaurants. We enjoyed our stay.

First and last stay with Sterling Sands
Where to begin.... 1. Condo interior....dated 2. Exposed electrical wiring 3. Elevators habitually not working 4. Blown light bulbs 5. Drain in master bath repaired by maintenance 6. Comforter in master bedroom belonged in a dog kennel...and may have been in one at one time. Appeared to have been chewed up by someone’s pet. 7. Missing shelf in master bathroom 8. Walls with paint peeling/damage 9. Non-matching carpet remnant thrown in master closet to cover most (not all) exposed concrete. Possibly the reason the closet door wouldn’t open without pulling a hernia 10. Dirty floors on arrival 11. HORRIBLE WIFI...super slow 12. One hot tub and you can forget it, always full of teens until pool area closed...and it wasn’t even peak season, building wasn’t filled. It was quite obvious to me that the priority is to rent units, regardless of condition, to pay the owner’s mortgage on the unit. The only reason I gave two stars was because of the view from the room. For the price paid, my family deserved much much better...live and learn.
