Beautiful View

This is pretty large rental property with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and almost 1500 sq. ft. It allowed seven of us plenty of room to relax. It also has beautiful views of the ocean. That being said, it could use some updating. The bathrooms and kitchen cabinets are well-loved and could use some replacing, along with the finishes and caulking in the baths as it is moldy in places. The space could also use a repaint or touch up at the front.door and master bath as there are peeling spots. The only other bummer is the water heater. It can’t keep up with the eight person capacity of the unit or jacuzzi tub. It would be awesome if it was updated to a “on-demand” water heater. The location, pools and beach service was exceptional!

Sterling Shores Fall Break 2024

In general the property was beautiful, well maintained, and well suited to our family. Everything we needed was always found and the condo appliances were amazing. However I was a bit surprised at how outdated the bathrooms were in comparison to everything else. No big deal overall, but still surprised and I felt that although they were obviously clean, they didn’t always look clean based on the age. Also, the property and views were beautiful, but the view shown in the pictures was not the view we had. We were not overtop of the pool as I felt was indicated but very much to the side without a good view. Therefore I was not comfortable letting the young teens go to the pool without supervision since I had no real visibility.from the balcony.

Great time at the beech

We loved this condo, the property. And all the amenities that came with it. We would definitely stay here again. There was one small issue but I would not let it keep me from coming back. There was not enough hot water to fill the jacuzzi tub. But we loved that it came with beach chairs and an umbrella.

Amazing views!

We had an amazing time. The condo was extremely clean and comfy, and super close to the beach. Wal-Mart is only about 5 minutes away to grab all of those beach necessities. The best part for us, was waking up and sitting on the deck with a morning cup of coffee. It doesn't get better than this!

Dreamy vacation

We had the best vacation! My family of six (with kids ranging from 2 yr to 15 yr old) all enjoyed the property! It was so clean and comfortable. We loved the pools and the easy, short walk to the private beach! It was easy to go back home if we forgot something, needed to make lunch, or put the baby down for a nap. It was also conveniently located to several restaurants and stores! We've already told several friends about the property and would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable bedding. Elevator access sucks! Everyone we talked to- said NEVER AGAIN, AND THIS INCLUDES OUR FAMILY. Elevators took forever. At least an hour getting to our room and an hour trying to get an elevator down. Pathetic!

Nice condo, only one elevator working

The condo was nice and clean. Beds were comfortable. I liked how the trash chute was right across from the condo. Our only complaint is only one elevator was working for the entire unit. This meant long wait lines for the elevator. As far as I know only one operational elevator the entire week. We were also supposed to have parking passes left in our condo, however no parking passes were found. Luckily we ended up no needing them after all. Condo is across the street from a great restaurant and beach.
