Saved from Hurricane Debby
Great! Went to Isle of Palm but needed to leave the property 36 hours after arrival due to Hurricane Debby approaching. Only week as a family we could take this time off before sending kids to college. Booking this on the spot for the rest of the week saved our vacation. It was a 10 hour drive past our original vacation spot and was worth it. Very responsive rental property team. Great location. Great amenities. Perfect vacation! Thank you!

Condo needs better cleaning staff. Floors were dirty and rugs in master bathroom smelled nasty. Probably would be better without them.

Great place. More info before checking would have been great
Very nice place but would have been nice to know that the chairs and umbrellas weren’t included, there’s water aerobics at 10am and construction was being done during our stay.
Location was great. Clean. Overall a great place to stay

Perfect home away from home
We enjoyed our stay at this condo, and at Sterling Sands overall! The condo was nicely put together, very clean, and had everything we needed. The bed in the master was extremely comfortable! Our two small kids enjoyed themselves, and slept great in the second bedroom. Sterling Sands was also well kept, and access to all amenities was easy. It was also walkable to a few nearby restaurants, which was a nice option. I would definitely stay again and recommend this condo. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Absolutely wonderful!
This amazing condo was absolutely perfect for our family of four! It was very clean and comfortable! You could not go wrong with the location and the views were second to none! The pictures displayed on the site were true - beautiful water and white sand beaches!
Don't worry about bringing beach chairs and umbrellas - you can rent them! Convenient for sure!
The only negative comment I have would be the gym. The equipment was good, but they need a dehumidifier, as it was musty and mold was visable in the corners. Otherwise, a delight!!

Great location. Clean and quiet.
This was a great condo. We really enjoyed our stay. The location is wonderful! We watched dolphins every morning from the balcony. It was very clean and stocked with essentials to start our trip. It is a bit outdated and the livingroom furniture could definitely stand to be replaced but it was clean. We have a family of 5 and had plenty of space.

Destin Spring Getaway
Property was clean. I felt that there should have been more supplies considering the price & lack of nearby stores to shop for toiletries, groceries etc. Beach Service was ridiculous. Guests should not have to pay for chairs & umbrellas!!!! Price for renting these items was OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE.
YOU CAN’T EVEN SIT CLOSE TO THE OCEAN BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SET YOUR TOWEL INFRONT OF RENTED CHAIRS!!!!!! Security on property was also bad. We were never able to use hot tub because there were constantly children playing in it. Vending machine was also EMPTY ALL THE TIME!!

Beautiful Unit, Great View, Terrible Elevator
This place lived up to the pictures and my family had a great time. The fact that there was only one elevator (working) for the entire property was frustrating but I guess taking the stairs worked off some of those beer calories.
