This charming beach retreat is at the Sterling Shores Resort. The soft white sand, clear turquoise water, and nearby activities will provide a vacation you will never forget. This condo has 2 bedrooms, each with an attached full bathroom and a queen sleeper sofa with a mattress topper for extra comfort. Vacasa staff are located in the ground-floor office to assist with any questions or issues during your visit.

The primary bedroom has a queen bed, an attached bathroom, and a large Jacuzzi tub/shower. The second bedroom has a full bed with its own attached full bathroom. Both bedrooms have ceiling fans, blackout curtains, TVs, and DVD players.
The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a blender, toaster, and Keurig duo coffee maker that uses K-Cups or ground coffee. Four large gas grills are located near the pool.

The living room has a smart TV with streaming apps (you must use your own account to access them), a queen sleeper sofa, two reclining chairs, and a ceiling fan.
The dining table has seating for six, but there are also three bar seats for extra space.

The balcony has a high-top table for unobstructed views of the white sand beach, Gulf, and sunsets. Plus, two patio chairs and a chaise lounge.
The hall closet has a folding wagon for guests to use, and there may be some chairs and beach/pool toys you can use. Please clean the sand off before returning them to the closet.

This property features a lagoon-style pool and a smaller pool by the beach (heated in the winter). Seasonal drink/snack shack by the small pool or an easy walk to the Sand Bar for great food/drinks and live music in the summer (located on the beach at the condo complex to the east). Take out food/drinks from the Back Porch and get sweet treats from the Candymaker.

Sterling Shores is located just off Highway 98, but the condo is well-insulated, so traffic noise is not a problem. It is a short walk to delicious restaurants like 790 Gulf and The Back Porch.

Nice stay good views of the gulf
Overall a positive experience, short walk to the beach,close to groceries and restaurants. Resort is very well maintained and beautiful to walk around, feels safe and secure. Full marks to Vacasa. Only thing to note of you are an extremely light sleeper the condo is right across the elevator which is a bit noisy. Kitchen was fully stocked and we loved that as we cooked all our meals. Laundry machines seemed brand new and we had a very nice stay and will definitely come back it was good value for money overall and except the elevator noise no complaints at all.

Perfect get away
This condo was great for 3 adults. Very clean and tidy and simple,relaxing decor. Starter supplies were a nice touch. We enjoyed the private beach area and pools on the premise. Everyone was very helpful. The washer in our condo needed a cleaning cycle and the liquid detergent cup was missing as we were not prepared to use powdered HE detergent. Overall we were greatly pleased

Great view!
706 is a really pretty condo. The kitchen had dishes and cookware, so that made it feel like home. The view was amazing! I love that it had 2 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms. Plenty of room for 4 people. We definitely enjoyed our stay.
