Sterling Shores Unit 416

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sterling Shores is under renovation for a beautification project in which they are working on all balconies and walkways to the condos. Due to this beautification process, one pool closest to the building may close in November very briefly. No other amenities will be affected. Renovations are currently in progress Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The renovation is set to be finished by 1/29/2026. If bad weather interferes with the beautification process, renovations could continue into February. If there are any updates, I will let you know. We have blocked down the units that are primarily affected by this construction. June-Labor Day is painting the exterior and should not cause much of a disturbance. After Labor Day, you may experience floor grinding noise and dust. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and we hope you enjoy your stay!

It was a great place to stay! We could easily walk to the beach and our favorite restaurant. The room itself could use a little TLC and the bed sheets were stained. The master tub had a crack that made me nervous and the jets did not work in the tub which was disappointing. Would stay there again though. Very quiet.

Great Location

The property was in a great location. Right by the stores we needed to go to. And we was right across the beach. The only thing I would say that need improvement was the painting. The condo that we stayed in need a serious paint job. The walls were peeling. Also one of the beds have a dip in it, they need to change the mattress. Other than that, we had a great stay!

Perfect Location

What a wonderful location! The condo was nice and had all the amenities mentioned. There is some peeling paint but if you're looking for brand new don't expect to pay such an awesome price for this location. The unit was cleaned and well stocked. Pools were extremely nice and the beach is literally a walk across the street. There is also a great restaurant right on the water next to the pool so that was great to go grab a quick drink or appetizer. Would definitely stay again

Could be so cute

This place could be so cute…the owners really need to step it up and do some TLC. The carpet needs to be replaced, the walls need to be painted and the cabinets need paint. The paint on the walls is peeling and it’s such an eye sore and makes the place look gross. The location is great!

Needs TLC

Driving up, we quickly realized we were in a very populated area. Several large buildings crammed into a small space. Checking in was a bit confusing but we figured it out. Check in was at 4. I got there right at 4, checked the place out then returned to the car for our luggage. Got back to the room and was startled by the cleaning super as she was there “checking things out.” The place was clean, I have no complaints there. The master, king bed, was very comfortable, pillows too. A full bath for each room was great. The kitchen was very outdated. The paint was peeling from the walls in the living area. The place could be beautiful with a little TLC. The patio furniture left a lot to be desired. It looked like the cheapest set they could find, very uncomfortable. My daughter couldn’t get over the TVs as they were small and not smart TVs. The view was spectacular! We were worried about the walk to the beach but it really wasn’t bad at all. BTW plan on buying an umbrella and chairs if you want to sit near the water. They had ropes dividing the beach in order for every condo to have room for their guests. If you brought your own chair, you had to be about two to three rows back. The main pool was very nice! It’s shape allowed several groups to swim at a time without being in each others way. ** wrist bands are left in a bowl on the table - count them right when you get there!! We were supposed to have 6 but only had 5. $25 each if not returned **

Very disappointing

We had a great stay. It was a little run down & I had no plans on leaving a bad review UNTIL VACASA called me to asked about “scratches” to a door, I did not notice anything out of the ordinary when we left. I told her the place was indeed run down & requested to see pictures. She then tells me I admitted to damages & I did not, she then says something about her manager saying that we purchased waiver protection, we will be charged, have a nice day. Hangs up the phone & now it seems as if my number is blocked & my call will not go through to get this issue resolved!

Weekend getaway

Apartment was clean, decorated nicely with a great view of the pool and water and spacious enough for 3 adults. My only negative is that the condo needs some tweaking, peeling paint in living room and kitchen draws, not enough coffee mugs. Small things that definitely didn’t effect our family time together. Great location. Would recommend!

Clean, nice property

We just stayed in this unit this week. Overall, this was a great unit. Everything we needed was there. It was clean. Kitchen was stocked with appropriate appliances. Wagon and beach ball + surf board was there for use which was very nice to have! You cannot beat this location. Sterling shores is our absolute favorite place. It is next to all local attractions and very easy beach access. Amazing pools! The condo was decorated cute and beachy! I’ll put my take in on what can better this unit. The beds were like sleeping on hard wood. With me being 7 months pregnant, it was extremely uncomfortable the entire week. No matter how I positioned myself, the bed was terrible. Family also complained about the double bed mattress feeling the same way. I would make this the first upgrade on list as people want a good nights rest on vacay! A firm bed is good, but these were entirely too firm. I believe the unit can use a few minor updates such as replacing carpets with hard wood floors and new kitchen cabinets and countertops. But those are really just things that would make a better show. Spare room could use more room for a dresser to store clothes, etc. Overall, well kept unit and we really enjoyed our week! Would stay again!

Condo was pretty clean but there could have been a couple spots that could have used a little more attention. The location is ok but it is very busy & crowded even on weekdays. I guess we were there at the height of busy season. I give it an 8/10 overall.

Great stay, great view

Condo was great. Spacious enough for my husband & myself plus 2 older teens and 1 infant. We still could have fit a couple more with room leftover. Ample dishes & appliances. Theatre posted on some Sterling Shores sites is no longer there. However we had no need for that anyway. The view was AMAZING! OH and there was boogie boards and a beach wagon that really came in handy!
