Great condo in pcb

We’ve stayed at en soleil for many years but they’ve gotten too expensive. We took a chance on this condo with high previous expectations. We were pleasantly surprised!! All was very nice. Things we enjoyed the most: large family room space, the two beach chairs and umbrella service (Michael and his son were amazing - be sure to tip them well), kitchen space, new washer and dryer, location on the QUIET END OF PCB, nice pool, quiet beach, family oriented, wasn’t crowded, clean grounds. The grill area was nice also. As was the beach shower hose area. Really nice place - we all enjoyed. A couple small suggestions - an owners closet with a few beach items would have been nice to have. We had to buy a couple boogie boards and floaties. We also liked being on the third floor on the end by the stairs and trash area for easy dumping of trash. We could take the stairs rather than the elevator and did most times. We really had a great week at your condo. One of our best weeks in pcb and we’ve been vacationing here foe 20 years. We would highly recommend this unit. We will be back! Thank you.

Beautiful condo!

Very nice unit in a beautiful small complex. This is our third time staying at Sterling Beach and our second time in this unit. The pool area with the large shallow end was perfect for small children, and I love that it comes with free beach chairs for the week. I would highly recommend this condo!

Beautiful condo and building grounds!

What a beautiful condo unit and overall facility! I’d say that the pictures don’t do it justice. Things that we absolutely loved: 1) there is a lot of real estate between you and the beach: the pool, some sand dunes and lots of beautiful palm trees. Looking out from the 3rd floor, it looks like a view of an exquisite resort. 2) it was quiet… only one row of beach chairs, and not all were full. We’ve been to some places with 3+ rows and tons of people everywhere. That is not our jam. This was pleasant and nicely quiet. 3) the kitchen and counter area is HUGE and was a pleasure to cook in. 4) the facility itself is very well maintained. We used it all: pool, hot tub, fitness center, rolling carts, grills, etc. All very nice. We enjoyed it all. Thank you!

Beautiful condo in very nice complex

This is our second time staying at Sterling Beach and we love this complex - very nice pool area, not very crowded even over Fall break due to the smaller size of the complex. The staff we encountered were all very friendly. We took advantage of the fitness facilities during our stay, and although kind of small, it has a beautiful view of the pool/ocean as you workout. This condo is very spacious and clean, the kitchen well stocked with everything you need. The beds are very comfortable, it feels more like a home than a vacation rental. The owner responded very quickly to any questions or needs we had. I would highly recommend this condo and plan to return for our next vacation to PCB if it is available.

The Bomb-Diggity

This place is fantastic!!! The pictures just don’t do the property or condo the justice deserved. Hosts are first rate all the way. Both property and condo were clean, comfortable and supported a fantastic first PCB experience for our family of 5. Couple do-betters from this Texas Banker because that’s just me/us… there was a shrimp in the north stairwell that had clearly fallen out of a takeout container which was there for the entire week. I considered picking it up but decided to leave it as a test that was, unfortunately, failed. Property maintenance/mgt visited our condo 4 times during our stay; once to change air filters, twice for a closet door repair (not an issue we had noted) and finally to tell us to write in dates on our parking pass (not info included in instructions). These things should be done when no one is present or notice should be given. Additionally, it was stated that there were to be 8 pool wristbands but there were only 7 in the basket. This wasn’t an issue for us as we only used 2 wristbands one time, preferring the beach to the pool, but is worth noting to either alter the description or grab an additional band. That said, if you are considering PCB for your next vacay/get-away, it’s hard to imagine how it could get better than this!

Family Vacation

The complex was very nice with a gated parking lot and gated access to the beach. The pool was very large and had ample amount of chairs. There were security cameras everywhere and security guards walking around 24/7. The condo itself was just OK. It was very outdated compared to another condo that another Family member rented during the same time frame for the same price. The TV’s were small, the oven and microwave were disgusting, the countertops and dining room table had cuts and scratches all over them, the beds were very uncomfortable, and the floors were stained. If your not staying in the room then this would be a good condo for you. If not, then rent 407 and you will have the same amount of room but tons of upgrades.

Nice place for the money

I'll start with the negative, which appears to be a problem with just about every rental review I looked at online, not just this rental. The cleaning of the unit before we got there. Unit was well appointed. One chair was broken when we got there, but no one would know this unless you sat in it. This unit was a very good size, we never felt cramped or on top of each other. The pool was very nice and never overly crowded. The included beach chairs and umbrella was a fantastic amenity! Location was nice, not congested and was easy to get in and out of. I would definitely stay here again. I can't imagine the troubles the owners have trying to find good crews to clean in such a short time frame between renters.

Great place for families

The view was fantastic and the property had plenty of space. Washer, dryer and dishwasher were a big help with a family of my size. The pool was kept very clean and the beach is just so convenient to get to. They have two beach chairs with umbrella for those wanting to just chill out there.

Great place to stay

The condo was very nice but When we got there it was absolutely filthy like nothing had been cleaned. Dirty showers, shower curtain was black with mold. Tolit was terrible with thowup on the side of it. Sand in the beds and floor. I wasn’t going to let this ruin my vacation so I went to Walmart and purchased cleaning supplies and we cleaned it ourselves. I did call the owner and he offered to send out someone else to clean but we were tired and just got there. It wasn’t the owners fault it was just some lazy cleaning people. After I got through cleaning it was very nice. I would definitely stay here again I just hope the next cleaning people do a better job.
