Overall, this condo was great for our family. The positives: check-in was easy, the location was great, size was perfect for a five-person family, and the price was reasonable. The negatives: the carpet and living room furniture badly needs replacing.

We really enjoyed our stay, had a wonderful time. Checking in and out was so simple. Loved that we were only on the second floor, and right in front of the elevators so confident! Nice place to stay!

If I owned this condo I would be ashamed to have my guests experience the disgusting carpeting! The carpet tack strip from the kitchen to the living room is so exposed when you walk on it your foot gets punctured! This is a safety hazard especially for small children not to mention the fact that it’s beyond being able to clean the stains. Also the ad didn’t mention there are no streaming services available on any of the 3 t.v.’s which all have HDMI slots to plug in streaming devices. Normally you don’t go to the beach to watch t.v. but we had 2 days of rain and couldn’t go to the beach. Had we known in advance to bring our streaming devices we would have.

The only complaint was, there were only 3 forks in entire condo and one very small frying pan which made it difficult to cook.

The location was absolutely perfect with a stunning view! The condo is dated which I knew but was very disappointed that I was assured the condo with be clean to meet my expectations. The smell was musty when we entered, but I bout my own plug in and we aired it out. Carpet is dirty, shower has what appears to be mold and shower curtain liner looks as if it has never been washed. I was extremely disappointed with the cleanliness being that a lot of reviews has this complaint and it continues to look this way. It’s worth every penny for the view. The property itself was clean with friendly staff. Whoever owns the condo could up the price if they just update and keep it cleaner!

Sterling sands as a whole is fantastic! We stayed here last year but through a different owner. This unit needs some renovation/upgrades. There is a lot of old wear and tear that needs work, that we didn’t experience in the previous unit. Location is great, pool and beach were perfect and clean. Overall we had a blast, just had some cosmetic issues.

The carpet looks horrible and needs to be replaced. Few things around the place were broken. Not a big deal but for the money I believe it should be better kept up

Great, comfortable condo to stay at with a beautiful view. Only complaint would be that there are a lot of stains on the carpet. But it was very nice and would definitely stay here again!

Nice location with easy access to pool and beach. Comfortable beds but furniture needs some fixing up / replacement. Carpet is warn and dirty needs to be replaced. Quite a few of cracked ceramic tile flooring. Dishwasher is not installed properly as it is literally falling over when door and bottom tray is out. Stingy on trash bags and toilet paper and hand soap. Poor quality dishwasher and washing machine soap with insufficient quantity..

This property wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Lots of black mold on shower curtain liner -very nasty and sticky floors in kitchen/bathroom. Condo is well worn-carpet fraying at thresholds, kitchen stove rusty, bathroom cabinets in need of repair, moldy caulking in master bathroom shower, light bulbs burned out, only one elevator for complex-didn’t always work properly, cushions in kitchen chair had absolutely no padding, front bathroom toilet was totally stopped up-had to have maintenance repair while we were there, no blackout curtains to block lights outside window in front bedroom, loose headboard in front bedroom. Would not recommend and absolutely will not stay there again.

The view, pool and beach were great. We had a minor shower issue which was promptly attended to without any inconvenience to us- thank you! Reviews mentioned the carpet and furniture were dirty and I thought it wouldn't bother us for a few days. The place needs a deep clean desperately- rugs especially need replacing and upholstered furniture is dirty. The halls, elevator, stairwells, exterior doors all pretty gross. We planned this trip last minute not realizing it was fall break in GA and TN so there were not many options. Glad we stayed but I hope this condo gets some attention soon.

The condo was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Slept 6 comfortably with more than enough room. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The views were impossible to beat with tremendous beach access. The company that sets up private chairs and umbrellas was awesome too! Highly recommend, we will be back next summer!

My parents and I stayed here with little ones and it was perfect. One of the most spacious two bedroom condo I’ve ever stayed at. In unit laundry and full size kitchen appliances. Huge balcony and easy walk to pool and the beach. Also the cleanest condo pool I’ve ever seen

This was my family and I's first time visiting Florida and it was absolutely beautiful! The unit we stayed in was very pretty and had an amazing view! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the carpet is very outdated and looks dirty and the couch cushions were also dirty. And then on every dresser or table they have a piece of glass covering the tops and they move and I cut my arm on the one on the TV stand. But I would definitely visit again and stay.

The location was perfect! Close to everything. I was worried with previous reviews saying the unit was outdated or needed updates but it just shows us how much it has been enjoyed! It was super cute and had all we needed! I could understand small areas needed a little paint brush up but there is no need to change decor it made you feel like you were where you are (at the beach)! I would definitely choose to come back and visit❤️

Sterling Sands unit 205 is in a great location and the Vacasa managers are very responsive, but this unit needs some TLC. Closet doors were missing or falling out of their tracks when opening/closing (laundry closet), the kitchen faucet would constantly leak/drip, the master bath vanity handles would come off in your hand, and certain sections of the carpet was torn exposing carpet tacks that were merely covered up with a small rug. All of these issues, I believe, fall onto the owner's of the unit and not Vacasa. We would stay at Sterling Sands again through Vacasa, but not at unit 205 until it's been renovated.
