We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view, safe and family friendly. We did have a problem with water bugs in our room, but alerted managers and they said they would take care of it. It could just be that season in Florida. We are out of state visitors. That was the only negative I can think of. It’s right in the heart of Destin so everything is right at your fingertips. Would stay again.
This was our 1st trip to Destin and 1st time taking the 3 boys to Florida. The condo was the perfect size with the master suite being spacious and private. It was great to be on the 1st floor making it easy to run down to the beach and pool.
We loved being able to go back and forth to both. The property itself was private entry which set us more at ease with the kids there.
The only thing we wish is that they had spices for cooking and a bit more TP and Paper towels for our week long stay. But that was minor. We didn’t want to leave!

Disliked: Check-in, communication
Good location but needs some updates
Great location. However, hours before check in I had to request our check in information. Never received anything days before or day of. After I messaged through VRBO, an email was sent but didn't show check in info. Had to view in actual browser instead of email on phone. Didn't know that and called multiple times. Cell phone went to voicemail and office number was was discounted. The condo was clean for majority of the part. The small room needs bedding updated. Bedding looked nasty and big black spot on one of the pillow cases. Sheets didn't look clean. The blow dryer needs to be tossed. We flew so didn't pack one. Thankfully master bedroom has one of those attached to the wall. The view is perfect and easy access to the beach.
This was our second time staying at Sterling Sands and it was just as great as the first time! Great amenities, great location, and perfect for our family of 6!
This was the perfect place to stay. The location is convenient. The property is well-maintained. The condo is spacious, beautifully decorated & welcoming. It truly felt like a home away from home.
The unit was nicely decorated, clean and what you would expect for a coastal property. The beautiful view and perfect weather really made for a wonderful stay.
The place was perfect size for a family
of 4! Loved being able to just walk out to the beach chairs and come back to the room for lunch! We forgot to pack beach towels and Alvin’s was right across the street we stopped there many times for towels, beach toys and sun block. We definitely will come back.
We had a great time! Described perfect on the listing. Easy check in and out. Clean. Great pool. Great beach access. Everyone was so friendly. We had a great time and the condo was perfect!

Beautiful condo-gulf front
Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful condo for the week. We had a great time and the condo was equipped with everything we needed and then some. Everything was perfect. Loved the views from the balcony.
Wonderful Property. Perfect for Families with Small Children.
Unit is on the 1st floor with easy access to stair/elevator. The room overlooks the pool and beach so it's easy to keep an eye on the family.
My kids loved the bunk beds. Mom and dad enjoyed the main suite.
Would definitely stay here again (and probably will).

Great stay for our family of 5!
We truly enjoyed our stay in unit 109. The condo was clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the location was perfection. The owner was more than accommodating and available to answer any questions. Location was great, we walked to dinner more than once. The Back Porch was our favorite!! The pool and beach were perfect for our 3 little ones as they were both just steps away from our room! We will definitely return in the future!! Would recommend to anyone!!
The property was clean and well secured. All the pools, hot tub, fitness center and beach front were clean. My condo was well equipped with everything that we needed for our stay. My condo was so nice it's got me interested in buying one.

Minnesota Snowbirds
As snowbirds from Minnesota, we have enjoyed staying in this unit the past 3 years. The location is ideal, middle of first floor with a perfect view over the pool. Everything is clean, neat, and comfortable and the manager is very easy to work with. This would be a great unit for families. We will come back again.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first time to Destin and it was great! The condo was clean and perfect for a family of 6. The only negative thing was the living room furniture. It was not comfortable. The beach was not too crowded either! We will definitely keep Sterling Sands on our list of rentals!
