The condo is beautiful. We had a beachfront view that was amazing. It was clean no issues, checkin process was simple. The kitchen & bathrooms are a nice size and had everything we needed & were very clean. Its located on a strip thats convenient to walmart & other restaurants. The outlet was 15 mins away.. perfect condo & location and will definitely be booking again.

Unit needs some TLC.

We love the location of the Sterling Sands building. You literally can’t beat it. This unit fell a bit flat for us - just needs some major updates and some TLC. It was fine, but just needs some details to make it really pack a punch! It’s got great potential. Get rid of cable and get a fire stick for each TV / smart TV, replace lightbulbs that are out, repaint in some areas, add some plugs that are in a convenient location, popcorn ceiling coming off in spots, update furniture (everything is upholstered and we were nervous wrecks about the sand and chlorine + having 2 kids stain something), l cabinet paint chipping off, etc. The insides of the cabinets were really icky in some spots - we cleaned quite a bit while we were there. Like I said, we love the location, but this unit needs a little love.

Spring Break 2020

Bedding and linens were clean. Room smelled fresh. Floors were clean and mopped. The condo in itself could use a good deep cleaning. Wooden blinds and window sill in master bedroom are pretty filthy. Inside of kitchen drawers and some utensils need cleaning. Kitchen cabinets are greasy on outside and need deep cleaning. Balcony needs a deep cleaning. Tv remotes in master bedroom don’t work and have to turn tv on manually on back of tv. Other than that it has good space for 5-6 people including sofa bed.

The outside was beautiful. Our room had busted floor tile covered by a rug。 the furniture was so dB

When asked to be moved to another room due to the condition of our room we were told if we booked direct they would have moved us to a better room. I wasn’t impressed with the amount of money we paid for tge room and the condition of the room!

We would not stay again.

Broken tiles covered with a rug that we kept tripping on, DIRTY George Forman skillet, not over all very clean. One elevator was broken and never repaired. The only working elevator smelled of beer, broken beer bottle glass in the elevator- never cleaned. Staff members were hard to find. I called twice to address our issues- they were never resolved.

Great condo with breathtaking views!!

My family of four stayed here for 3 nights. We loved it! The condo definitely needs some minor repairs, but does not have gross carpet like a previous review stated. There is a broken floor tile in the entry way (covered by a rug) that needs tending to, and the master shower comes unscrewed, but the views and convenience of the condo far surpass these minor problems. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds are comfortable, and cable is provided in the living room and both bedrooms. We even got to see dolphins from the balcony every morning. Overall, it was a great experience.

The condo was in disrepair.

The tiles in the hallway were broken and covered with a rug. The furniture was stained. The mattresses were uncomfortable. The ceiling fan in the living room would not go past low on the speed. have stayed in multiple condos in Destin and this was a big disappointment.

This was a great location. Right in the heart of Destin. Walking distance of shops and eating. Every

This condo was everything and more it presented to be in the pictures. Check in was a little confusing because we were given no instructions. I tried to check in at the front desk but you have to check in with ResortQuest down the road. Other than that there is nothing negative to say. Condo was clean and great access to the beach. Loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves. We were able to spot several dolphins from our condo. The lady that cleaned outside every morning was wonderful. She would spray down the entire pool area including lounge chairs every morning. It was terrific to have a washer and dryer to wash clothes. There are grills outside on the grounds if you want to grill out.(Just do it early because dinner time they get busy) . They leave a small packet of dishwashing soap and soap for the washing machine. So, if you plan on doing much laundry or dishes you may want to bring some of your own too. The pictures you see on this website are exactly as this condo is. We were so happy with the location and condo. I would recommend it to anyone!!
