Great location to all things in Destin & Fort Walton. The 5th floor unit is wonderful. Easy check in with easy communication with property manager. Would book again when returning to Destin. October is a good time to book.

Absolutely loved the condo it exceeded expectations, however was disappointed that the umbrellas and chairs on the beach was not included in pricing, that is the reason for 4 stars.

509 needs updating. The carpet needs to be replaced. The couch and chairs are very uncomfortable (the pictures online show two couches, but the unit has only one). Sterling Sands is a great location, but this unit is not!!

Upon arriving we were pleased with the location, parking and accessibility of the unit. However, the unit is very outdated and the carpet throughout the living area and master bedroom was clearly old and stained and the kind you don’t want to walk on without shoes to be honest. The master bed was extremely uncomfortable and both myself and my husband (both 27 y/o) had to take ibuprofen daily bc our backs were aching and stiff. Also, the blankets were very thin and there weren’t enough for each of us to sleep comfortably and for my brother in law to have enough for the pull out couch. the extra pillows were nasty looking and the pillow cases didn’t fit? Anyway. The first beach day we tried to set up a tent for my 9 month old and were forced to take it down even though we had received nothing that said no tents were allowed. We were told we signed something acknowledging the beach rules even though I did not remember that and would not have booked a place had I know I couldn’t even have a tent to keep my baby cool and out of the sun. Turns out, the attachment with the beach rules were mistakenly left out of the welcome email but the vacasa representative quickly made things right when she realized their mistake which we were pleased with her kindness and ownership for the mistake. But nonetheless we did end up having to pay over $250 to for the beach chair and umbrella rentals for the week which was a pain but apparently most places are requiring that these days. On the 2nd day we were there the toilet in the master overflowed into the bathroom floor. I contacted the vacasa rep before 11am and was told someone from maintenance would contact me “shortly” to come check on the toilet and I asked if someone could come clean the floor so the bathroom would ag least be useable for showers and to get ready in. They responded they would notify them once maintenance was able to come out. At 5pm that day I contacted them again to let them know that i had not heard from maintenance or housekeeping and we were unable to use our bathroom or shower. Was told they were escalating the issue to HOA and we should hear from them soon. Well, we never heard from anyone and were forced to all use the small guest bathroom for the remainder of the trip for showers and to get ready in. At that point it was clear to us we had made a mistake in booking this place. I requested a late checkout since we were all having to share a bathroom and could’ve used the extra time for showers, was told I had missed the cut off time to request a late checkout and once again couldn’t find that information in anything I had received either but at that point we were ready to get out of there anyway. The location is great, the balcony was nice even though the floor was visibility dirty and sticky.

Loved the location and the Views are amazing. Close to supermarkets, restaurants, and Would have given 5 stars, but unit carpet is stained and older. Mini fridge has been out for months and you can see where it stained the carpet. Also need to rent chairs and umbrella on beach as early as possible, as they hold them for people who never show up, makes it difficult to get close to the water. Kitchen had everything to cook. Washer and dryer worked great too.

Condo was extremely clean. Updated appliances, nice decor, spacious rooms, superb layout allowing privacy for each bedroom. Beds were comfortable. Very large inviting balcony overlooking pool and beach. Our condo had a reserved parking space in the garage area next to elevator. Only drawback is the condo doesn’t automatically have a complimentary umbrella/chair setup so be prepared to rent one when going to the beach. We’ve stayed at several rentals throughout the years and enjoyed Sterling Sands the most. Vacasa and condo management continually checked co continuously to verify that everything was excellent with our stay, We plan a return trip within the next month or so, and will definitely book through Vacasa for Sterling Sands and request unit 509.

For having 2 under the age of 4 I can’t complain too much, the balcony was awesome because it was a glass which allowed the kids to see everything. The master bathroom has a huge tub, but there wasn’t enough hot water to be able to use the jets, which was a bummer. The mini fridge in the living room stopped working, we weren’t using it so it wasn’t a big deal, but it made the carpet soaked and it was wet the entire time we were there. The kitchen was pretty stocked we had everything we needed.

The condo was spotless, well equipped in bathrooms and kitchen ( although dishes were rather sparse; however we were not cooking), comfortable living room furniture, comfortable beds, fabulous large balcony with a magnificent view, no noisy neighbors, convenient well lit parking garage. This is a place we would stay again because it was so pleasing plus in a convenient location. 5 stars

Great location and proximity to the beautiful beach. Condo itself was ok, stocked well in the kitchen. No additional blankets and couch bed is not really even useable for an adult (we had to go buy an air mattress).
Overall, we were there for the beach and the views and they were great!

The condo could use some new furniture. The springs were coming out of the couch bed and my 10 year old was not able to sleep on it. The recliner was broken. The master bed needs a new mattress. No muffin tin or cookie sheet. No space In the pantry to store food because it had kitchen supplies in it. Other than that, the condo was nice and we had a great time. Large balcony with plenty of seats.
