You are just a short 10 minute beach walk to the restaurant Back Porch, save room for the Candy Shop. Directly across the street you can find Pizza, Subs, large beverage store, and ice cream/yogurt.

Destin Commons has a huge movie theater complex, Hard Rock Cafe, Bass Pro Fishing shop, Johnnie Rockets, and all the mall shops you have come to know and love in a beautiful outdoor setting (don’t forget your sun block!).
Before Destin was a vacation and tourist spot, it was a fishing town. If you are interested in doing some fishing while in Destin, Fort Walton Beach has just built a new fishing pier, and deep sea fishing is right up the street!
If you like road trips, take a drive down 30-A to Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and see everything in between for some spectacular sightseeing. Also located eight miles east on the bay side of the Sandestin Resort is the newly erected Baytowne Wharf area. Here you will find more shopping and great restaurants overlooking the Choctowatchee Bay.

This was a beautiful condo and had a wonderful oceanfront view. The check-in process was easy and the room had a garage space for us to use. We would stay in the condo again in the future.
We had a great stay! Very clean and well furnished, had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable. The heated pool was great, and the beach was amazing!
Great location, great condo, and a fantastic vacation!! The condo is perfect for a small family and we loved the location (walking distance to The back Porch and mini golf)! The beach service was a big perk! Highly recommend!
The condo was clean and beautiful with all upgrades. The view is spectacular. Communications with owner and HOA very responsive. The beach service and parking are the cherry on top.
This is our 5th straight year staying in a Sterling Sands condo and this one did not disappoint. The condo is recently updated and very nice! Plenty of amenities in the condo and we loved the outdoor table and lounge chairs. The complex is getting new hurricane doors so there was some construction noise during the weekdays by the pool but that’s just a sign of a the complex taking care to update the properties. We will be booking this one again for our next stay!
Great location - lots of good restaurants . Great pool & beach. Would highly recommend. Have stayed at Sterling Sands lots of times & this unit is one of our favs!
THE VIEW Is everything! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It’s a very clean condo, that’s close to lots of food options and that has a ton of fun activities to do near by. The walk to the beach is less than 10 minutes. It was a perfect stay. Thank you for having us! And Thank you again for being such a responsive host.
Everything was great! Beach was nice and the room was exactly as described in pictures. Everything was clean and the location is near everything in Destin. We had a great end of summer family vacation.

Ac went out on Saturday and did not get fixed until Monday afternoon. I asked for a reimbursement for the two days because we could not sleep there. He has not responded.
The balcony alone was worth it! Love having access to the private beach area. The condo was very clean and the host was communicative. A few tips: bring extra TP, trash bags, Laundry and Dishwasher detergent. Bring your own beach towels and puzzles/games. There were some extra sand toys, boogie boards and even a little cooler at the time of our visit.
This condo and view of the Gulf was absolutely fabulous. Very clean and well stocked with tons of kitchen supplies! Easy access to pool, beach and on-site gym! AJ was an excellent host. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed this condo. The view was amazing and there were a lot of cooking utensils available. There was a washer and dryer, beach toys, floaties, chairs, a small cooler for the beach. We really had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.
