🏖Gulf and Pool Views~FAB Lagoon Pool~Steps2Beach~3BR Sterling Shores 818 Reviews

Sterling Shores

Liked the location and condos. Although I was disappointed in a couple of things. To spend over $4,000 for 4 nights. I expected better. The biggest downfall was.. only 1 elevator was working in the entire building. There was always a long line of people waiting for the elevator. Which would take 15-20 min. We started taking the stairs up to the 8th floor to avoid the long elevator waits. Also, no where in the description of the condominium bookings were we told no personal canopies on the beach. We bought a brand new canopy to take to the beach which we weren’t allowed to use. We came to the beach for a family reunion with 34 people. The shore area for sterling shores was all filled with private rental umbrellas. You are only allowed to rent umbrella and chairs, Or bring your own small size umbrella and put behind the last row of private rentals. So, if you don’t want to spend $54 for a rental umbrella and 2 chairs, you need to buy a umbrella and set it up at the last row of all rentals where you can barely see the water or your children. Disappointing and will not rent at Sterling Shores again.

Management Company 👎

We were in this rental from Saturday through Friday. The dryer did not work from day one. Long story short, I alerted the management company about the dryer on Sunday. A maintenance worker came out on Monday. We were told that the motor was broken and it needed new parts and if the repairs were not authorized by the owner that a loaaner dryer would be delivered on Tuesday. This never happened. We went without a dryer for the entire week. We drove 9 hours with 5 people so we packed lightly because I purposely rented a condo with laundry facilities. We ran out of clean laundry, our beach towels were dirty since day 1. We were finally offered clean towels and wash clothes for the condo, but these coukd not be used on the beach or pool area. I have messages were I am told that maintenance was at our condo at that very moment repairing, but we were there and no worker was in the condo with us. I was told by message that a loaner had been delivered and that was the best that they could do. The problem was that a loaner HAD NOT been dropped off. The original dryer was still in pieces in the laundry room. We had to bag up towels and bathing suits from our last day that had not dried and by the time we traveled home they smelled terrible. Poor communication and follow through. The pots and pans were hardly usable due to the teflon flaking off on practically every pan. For the price of the rental I would think that the pans would have been usable.
