Perfect Room. Perfect Location. Perfect Front Desk.
The condo smelled like fish when I walked in there was a big bug catcher on the kitchen counter
I was harassed by staff two days in a row for non payment I paid in full in January for a November trip.
Half the living room electric didn’t work and that included the tv found the fuse box in kitchen behind a mirror After I spent 30 mins searching
Had to throw the breaker two days in a row
Condo was very very out dated and the kitchen was lacking in utilities and dishes
The toilets did not flush well at all had to old the handle down for a long time
Needless to say I’ll book at a different location next trip and with a different management company
Good: The pool.
Bad: Many-----
- The electronic lock on the door was very old and didn't always work when the buttons were pushed. We got locked out because the code gets entered wrong when the buttons didn't register. I called property support and got a new code that didn't work also. We had to wait about 45 minutes for someone to show up with a physical key.
- The bedrooms are very small. The primary bedroom has a dresser in front of the bed and there is only about 9 inches of space to wiggle through to get to the other side of the bed. The bed in the second bedroom is like small daybed and doesn't sleep an adult very well.
- The fan in the primary bedroom did not work.
- The dishwasher drain got clogged somehow when we ran it and it leaked a lot of soapy water all over the kitchen floor.
- The patio furniture was pretty old and dilapidated and missing some hardware.

We stayed here in the past and enjoyed it. The lack of communication of the 8 am construction, and the multiple fire alarms was a big inconvenience. Not saying I won’t be back, just wish I knew about it beforehand. The noise was so bad, we couldn’t stay in the condo most of the time we were there the whole time.

Overall fine- no frills, just the basics
Overall a decent room- we had the basics, but dishwasher leaked, no beach towels, not enough hooks, and terrible pillows. The dishes were a weird mixture, with odd utensils- no pizza cutter but 2 blenders and 2 electric can openers. Pans for cooking & knife options were very mismatched also. The property amenties were what makes this place- pools, grills, lounge chairs, beach access, all amazing! Just the unit itself needs an upgrade.

Great trip
Great location, loved the unit, not the greatest views of the ocean from the unit, but you could see the ocean. Easy walk to the beach
i love this area but the particular unit is dated & a lil dusty! def could use an upgrade inside.
as far as being near everything, sterling shores is conveniently beside all the restaurants and attractions. didnt need to rent a car! we will definitely be back for sure (:

I highly recommend this property. It’s quiet, safe, and conveniently located near everything, which is especially helpful when traveling with children. If I return next year, I would definitely choose this property again.
This was our first time in Destin and our expectations of Sterling Shores was absolutely met. The building was kept (even during renovations), our condo was immaculate, the pool was clean and everything was exactly as it was advertised. Communication from Vacasa was excellent and they answered my questions via text in a prompt manner. We would definitely like to come back and even make this an annual vacation destination!
We didn't know that the property was under construction! The face of the property was being all redone, we have pictures of the construction zones taped off - didn't expect to pay 100% for something under construction :(
Very clean and unit was ready on time for check in. The furniture and decor were outdated. The only issue I had (which I did not report bc it really was not too serious) was that the utensil bin only had 4 forks, 4 large spoons and 4 tiny spoons. We are a family of 5

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We enjoyed our trip. The condo was very clean. However, the owner didn't put alot into decorating to give you that welcome or home feeling. In one of the bedrooms, the chester drawers was broken and the paint on the nightstand was peeling. Not enough seating in the living room for comfort and the dining room table and chairs were not comfortable.
