Our "home away from home" is carefully and thoughtfully decorated to make your stay memorable and comfortable. From the FREE BEACH SERVICE (2 chairs & an umbrella set up daily - a $50/day value) included with your stay, to the pool and children's pool, expansive beach, and exercise room, Sterling Reef 502 offers great comfort and amenities.

Enjoy your morning coffee or breakfast as you watch the dolphins, stingrays, turtles, and large schools of fish just off the beach and in the distance.

We had a Great Time in y’all’s GORGEOUS Condo! My Pen-Pal (Carol) & I stayed here from October 13th through October 17th.

They Both Immediately responded back to me on a question I had. They were Awesome!! Thanks, Amy & Brian!! We would Definitely stay here Again. Thank You! (Risa)

Just OK
The condo itself looks great when you walk in. Living room seating is uncomfortable. Both beds are hard but the guest room is so hard that neither of us could sleep on it. My mother who is elderly had to come sleep in my bed. She has back, hip and legs issues. No one really got any sleep. In the guest bedroom there was a pillow in the case that was really gross. Stains on it. From that point on we really felt like we weren’t staying in a clean place. If you can sleep on a hard bed then this condo is right for you! Need to do some updating on furniture and mattresses and pillows. The pillows except for the cloth one I spoke of are hospital pillows and are so flat.

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo is so clean and decorated so cute/beachy, which I absolutely love! The location is perfect! Walking distance to restaurants, stores, waterpark and the pier! The view from the balcony is beautiful and we used the reserved beach chairs everyday!! The pool was nice and not overly crowded. Doesn’t get much better than this! We will definitely stay here again!

Nice condo with great view.
We loved the condo itself. Kitchen had everything we needed. Patio was great. Having laundry in unit is always good. Only things that weren't so great, the drain in master bathtub was very slow and the bed in Master wasn't comfy at all. Of course I realize everyone has different preferences concerning beds. The main reason we probably wouldn't rent again is because of the elevator situation. It was always slow and crowded. Building is very noisy and rooms arent sound proof. But...the beach is awesome and that's where we spent most of our time.

Our vacation
This was our 2nd time at PCB and we really enjoyed the property. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Beds were comfy and the view was perfect. The beach was relaxing and we enjoyed jet skis, there were also other water activities to enjoy if you wanted. A grocery store is nearby as well as plenty of restaurants and entertainment if you choose. The property was a comfortable place to retreat to when we were done with our day in the beautiful Florida weather. Thanks to Amy for being an amazing host and very responsive to our questions when we checked in!

I would recommend this facility to anyone with children. It was very safe. Guards were seen at all times the cleanliness of the room was superb. Loved having the washer and dryer with Young adults. There was six of us ages 19 to 12 in children and then my husband and myself. It was all around a great time. The facility was so comfortable and so welcoming would recommend to any family and will return.

We liked the layout of the condo and the calm colors and beautiful deco. Everything we needed in the kitchen and spacious patio with enough chairs for all 6 of us. The only drawback would be the elevators,which were busy at certain times but full elevators led us to friendly conversation with the other occupants!

Wish I had stayed longer!
Loved staying here! The unit was exactly as described in the description, and was very clean all the way through. Master bedroom/bath was big enough to not feel cramped at all. Kitchen was well-equipped. The view was great, too. The unit faces right directly onto the Gulf, and not so high up that you can't see what's going on down on the beach. Everything is close by, including bars, restaurants, and grocery stores, so you don't spend too much time in the car driving places. Loved having the beach chair & umbrella service included with the unit! My biggest regret was not staying longer!!!

Awesome spot for 4 of July celebration
We were amazed about the property it was beautiful, I was in awe with all the kitchen things that were available, even a slow cooker was there. The views are the best and had a great time watching the fireworks from the balcony. The guest room had a bad smell for the whole first day, the owner was always trying to be helpful with anything. It was a little bit dusty under the beds but everything else was clean, lots of towels and extra sheets and pillows.
