The views were amazing, the condo was very clean and the bunk beds were by far a favorite for the young kiddos! It was perfect for our family. Feedback is every TV remote needs to be replaced or repaired as they were hard use/didn't work at all. Some outlets did not seem to work either. But overall worked very well for our family.

Great getaway that had it all

We were looking to get away from work and school and this vacation did the job. We were so happy to have a perfect view of the beach, including an angle that allowed us to watch the sunset from our balcony. The pool was just the right temperature, the hit tub was awesome. Thanks for a great place that matched the pictures and descriptions!

Amazing View

This location is beautiful and the view off the deck is spectacular! The size of the property is perfect because there are not too many units for the beach front space. Also, this property is central to everything! We loved being right in the middle of the best restaurants and locations! I would definitely bring our family back to this resort.

The condo is beautiful and has such a great view. We watched dolphins every morning having coffee. I do think the condo could have been a little bit more cleaner for the price to pay. I think they do a fast sweep for the next people staying. I did let the property know of issues on both bathroom ceilings and fans. I would stay here again for sure.

Great Condo But Needs Some Attention

This was our second time to stay at Sterling Sands and we love the property for several reasons. Its location is great for anything and everything on the Destin strip. This unit was very nice overall, however the couch is worn and very uncomfortable and some bed pillows were pitiful.
