Not what I expected
Overrall, I would not stay here again. The condo has 3 sets of elevator and only one set worked which was a major inconvenience for July 4th weekend. If you had a large load you waited 20 plus minutes. Most of the time you had to take the stairs and the condo was on the 5th floor. Not an easy task with kids and lugging beach stuff/ice chest. The condo did not have the bands needed to get to the pool as we only received 3 (for a party of 4) and one was broken. It also is not appear any how to get to the beach which is a hike. The water is nice at Destin and having the restaurant The Back Porch being so close was convenient. You can see the gulf from the condo at a distance but that is it. The condo does not have an ice maker and the bathrooms could use some updating.

Property was descent, the issues we had were that there were only 2 pool access wrist bands instead of guaranteed 5. The help number could not get us anymore the entire stay, could not get in touch with management? Never called us back. After I sent an email, I got a response 2 days ago saying they could not get anyone. There was no tissue in the tissue box receptacles. The elevators work poorly and long waits due to only one working on our side. We were stuck in the elevator for at least 10 minutes yesterday with no air and it was so hot. My little one went into full blown panic and I almost passed out. Had to sit down in hall twice before I could get back to the room.

Second time staying in Destin and at Sterling Shores. Location is great! Perfect property for our family of 4. The setup was great. Only challenge was trying to adjust check out times, which was eventually resolved after calling the company direct. We will be back!

Everything was great. A little sticker shocked on $70 a day for beach service. We opted out, beach cart on deck had a broken wheel. The property was perfect for our needs and the location was great. Everything was good. I would return. Tks.

Great Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: So happy to have rented a spot close to everything! The condo was very clean upon arrival and had great amenities. The condo had everything you would need to feel at home especially traveling with a small child. We didn’t need to buy any beach toys since they had a few available for play. The staff kept the pools and grills cleaned everyday. Such a nicely manicured landscaping and easy access to the beach. The beach was very clean and private. Our view from the balcony was the best!

My GPS kept leading me to the wrong location. After I left a message with the property manager, she returned my call in about 10 minutes and helped me find it. The same thing happened before with other guests so apparently there is an issue with Google that needs to be resolved. Other than that it was fabulous.

Convenient location but could use some upgrades
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The complex is conveniently located to the beach, Back Porch restaurant, and a central location within Destin. There was some moldy spots around the air vents, and the balcony furniture was very worn. If you need a descent priced location in the middle of Destin, this is an okay option.

Perfect location, Needs Updates
The view and property is gorgeous! The private beach access was great and the pool was a hit! We loved being so close to so many great restaurants. The condo needs some work, it is definitely time to get some new rugs, they were filthy when we arrived, and the sofa and chair are filled with stains. The vents are black and dusty. And some of the balcony furniture was coming apart, the chairs were not usable. But overall the rest of the condo was clean and we were happy with our stay!

Enjoyed our stay at Sterling Shores. Property was good. Comfortable stay for the most part. The pull out coach was definitely not comfortable but that wasn’t a make or break for us because we had other sleeping options. Cute little place.

Great location; complex and condo were as expected
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon arrival the gated features are nice. The pool was very well maintained, and the beach chair rental guys were great. The location is top notch.The condo itself is fine. Several reviews point to the living area rug and furniture and I 100% agree. It shouldn’t take much to listen to customers and either don’t keep the dingy area rug there and to also to get furniture that won’t dirty/stain as well. I mean even faux leather would be a huge upgrade and much easier to maintain.Finally, the communication was a bit odd with the property company. A few days before leaving I asked a question that went unanswered on VRBO. When I finally reached someone I was told “the guy that does this had to go out of town.” While I certainly understand things come up ... how can one person be the only one reviewing questions on the platform? The lady was nice, however, and did answer my inquiry.All in all ... it met expectations but could be better with a few adjustments and attention to detail with the mngt co.

Wonderful property, condo could’ve been cleaner
We have stayed in the pent house before so we chose to stay at Sterling Shores again, just in a two bedroom condo (#516). The bunk bedroom was very very small with no closet, but it did have its own bathroom and tv. The king bedroom was a decent size with a closet and big bathroom, but the bed was very noisy and sounded like it could break any moment). Kitchen and living room was a good size and dishes were nice and clean. Great view for sure! We love the location with a short walk to the beach and large pool to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our stay but it could’ve been cleaner (ex. dirty baseboards, sand to greet us at the front door, a napkin stuck between the sheets…???…I didn’t see that until I pulled off the linens right before we left). Also the sliding glass door wouldn’t lock.

Enjoyed our stay!
The condo was clean, and great view. Everything was as expected. Master bed was very comfortable. The bunk beds in the other room were not very sturdy, especially the top bunk. A/C made a weird noise when it was running. We would stay at this property again but not this condo. Preferred to have no bunk beds.
