The Perfect Condo
This condo was perfect for our family. It was clean, right on the beach. Any questions I had were answered almost immediately. The couch is so comfortable that I need to know the brand! We will definitely plan on booking this exact condo again.

Great Stay in Destin
Sterling Sands is our favorite place to stay in Destin. The units are nice and have great views of the ocean. It has a great pool and its location is so close to all the action. We always feel so relaxed when we stay here!

Sterling Sands 306
Great location, great view from balcony, but patio sliding glass doors and balcony glass wall could have been cleaned better to get the best view they had a hazy film that covered them that comprised the view from inside out, great parking spot out of the heat, and great beach access!
The unit could use newer washer and dryer this unit has rusty older units that take forever to dry - using more electricity and waiting for your clothes to dry (yes, lint filter was clean).
Overall a nice place to stay.

Nice condo!
The location of the property is perfect. Having a covered parking space and complimentary chairs/umbrella is definitely a plus. The condo was clean and the furniture was nice.

Great location
Right on the beach which was awesome! Some of the dishes were put away dirty when we arrived and really needs a proper vacuum and broom/dustpan. So. Much. Sand. and nothing worth a crap to clean it up with. We were provided sheets for the fold out sofa but not an extra blanket to be had in the entire place. A doormat would have been great with all the wet sandy feet, but overall it worked for us and the location can’t be beat.
