We did enjoy our 11 night stay, the views are breath taking and the location is excellent. Property seems managed well-parking lot clean and on site security is a plus. The unit could use some improvements. The master bed is in serious need of replacement - very uncomfortable. There were stains on the master sheet. The master bath tub does not drain well. The washer was dirty and could not do laundry as it got black yuck on the clothes. Floor rugs are dirty. The balcony glass was dirty and had foot prints from previous rents all over.
That said, the kitchen and appliances were very clean and well stocked.
We did enjoy our stay - location and views can not be beat in Destin!

My husband and I loved this condo. it was clean, nice, comfortable with a wonderful view! It is however an HOA, which I didn't realize when I booked, so there are some strict rules. I would reccomend reading the HOA rules before booking. I would reccomend this condo

Overall condo was nice except jetted tub was grungy and didn’t drain properly, kitchen needs pizza and baking sheet pans. I would not recommend Sterling Sands because of their beach situation. We were not allowed to sit near the water and were moved like second class guests to behind the rentable umbrellas and chairs. No one mentioned the requirement to rent umbrellas and tables in order to sit beachfront either when we booked or checked in.

We loved the view and location but the condo was not worth the money. The staff was quick to handle a few concerns but wasn’t worth going through everything we were disappointed in. No cutting board, nasty pots, no skillet, no broom and pan, no spatula, front stove top didn’t work, AC would stay at 70 even though it was set to 68. Others in the beach, had the same issues. Time to update.

Unit is very dated. King bed mattress was old and mushy. A number of the electrical outlets did not function. Toaster did not work properly. View was great.

This single condo unit needs updating badly. There was so much rust, dry rot, and mold.
We normally love staying at Sterling Sands- but this condo unit was a stark difference in quality compared to the other ones in it. We would not stay in this room again.

Property was clean furnished well and for the most part pretty well stocked. However, could replace refrigerator all rusted on side next to the cooking surface.
Maintenance, left a lot to be desired. Called front office upon arrival to complain about a couple of issues that could have been easily resolved. Seven days later, no one bothered to call or show up.
WE WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN! MAY NOT STAY AT ANOHER VACASA MANAGED PRPOPERTY!

This was a great location- right in the center of everything in Destin. (If you’re wanting secluded this is not the place for you) But we enjoyed being able to walk across the street to Alvin’s and to play putt putt.
The view from the balcony was perfect! Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony.
Beds were comfortable. Beach area was nice. Bad seaweed the first day, but clear and beautiful the rest. Top 8th floor so nobody making noise above you.
Would stay here again!
Areas of refinement:
Pull out sofa is not comfortable at all. But we didn’t need it. If a kiddo is on it, prob fine. An adult- would have backache.
Some important basics were missing from the kitchen: no Skillet, no spatula, no butter knives, no potholders
We made do with what we had. But might consider adding those items.
We had a great time and would return!

A breathtaking view as soon as you walk in . Beds were comfy . Condo was very clean. If I had anything negative I’d say a few more amenities for your guest. More towels and a bit of your personal touch. It didn’t seem to have that . Overall it was a very nice stay and I would stay there again. Also my son and his girlfriend got engaged at the beach so it’s special to us now .

The view from this unit is stunning. Lots of space. Kitchen and beds could use a little refresh but everything was clean and functional. The condos were nice and quiet and check in/out was smooth. No complaints-lovely vacation.

Stayed here for a workcation. The property and location was good. The condo could use some maintenance. The electrical was not good. Some of the outlets wouldn’t work and the lights would dim up and down on their own. The place was clean however their was some staining in the showers (prob just from age) and rust on some areas throughout the condo.

When we got to the condo the floors were sticky and any time you were bare foot you’d end up with the bottom of your feet being black only an hour after arrival. Some of the cooking utensils were stained yellow and very badly needed to be replaced on top of not having any spatulas at all which made cooking very difficult. The shower didn’t drain in the master bedroom. And the jets were gross. I wasn’t comfortable bathing my two year old in the tub at all. In the second bedroom we scooted the bed over a tad bit and there was trash left from previous guest. Empty sprite bottle, etc. Also did a load of laundry while we were there and ended up with clothes in my pile that were not ours. Need to do a better job cleaning.

The view from the 8th floor is perfect, just the beach and the ocean. Sunrise to the left, sunset to the right, and the moon reflected over the water all night. This property was clean, with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen (remember to bring your own salt and pepper, coffee and coffee filters). One note, the property is right off of I-98, so there is significant road noise, from motorcycles to semi-trucks that can be heard in the bedroom. We always have a fan, so the noise doesn't bother us, but a sensitive sleeper would want to bring a white noise machine or a fan.

Overall our experience was good. We met some very nice people during our stay, staff was extremely helpful. The set up, the organization of the room was easily to find everything that we needed for our stay. We did have some difficulties with the front tv as to where the box was located or if it was the remote to change the channels or the volume.
Downside: the master bath was either not mopped or the bottom of the trash can was not clean, because there was urine on the floor from the toilet to the cabinet side. Which when I had to change out the bag I put the can on the sink to change and noticed the urine. Then I had to disinfect the counter area. The second room was a bit of a challenge, either the bed or the tv should be changed on the set up, possibly change the mounting to be more flexible/motion-able because when laying in bed it was a bit strenuous to watch. Fortunately our daughter had her laptop to watch movies. Since families stay it would be nice to have a four toaster vs a two slicer. The glass table used near the sofas move, I would be a bit worried to have toddlers stay since it was not stable. Lastly the vents could use a cleaning.
