Nice Condo
We enjoyed our stay in this condo with our two young kids. The condo was as pictured and was spacious, clean and the AC worked great. The property itself was nice with the large pool, beach access and security for the garage. Great communication with the owner when I had a few questions arise. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a handicap accessible unit. It is dated. It wasnt cleaned the best. The floor tiles are loose in different areas. The toilet rocks. The water pressure wasn't the best. The washer smelled of sewage. The fridge had a makeshift gasket and rust stains. The best thing about this unit is the location

Location-great. Cleanliness-great. Check in was a little stressful but the guard at the gate was AWESOME and very patient and helpful. The room is ADA - master bathroom is EXCEPTIONAL but access to the beach for a handicap person is not avaliable . There's about 20 steps to access the beach. Just a personal observation - there is no ceiling fan in the master bedroom but there's a floor fan provided in the room. Overall a great place to stay

Expected supplies were unavailable.
Property and beach were great. In-room supplies marginal at best. 3 adults for a week with dinner guests a few times. Provided with only 2 (trash bags, dish washer and laundry pods) an ounce of dish soap, no wine screw or glasses, just 4 large heavy glasses.
The condo hasn’t been cleaned in a while and was really stuffy. There were dead plants and dirt all over the artificial plants. The ac unit was not working correctly until the repair man came out. There was no filter in the ac unit as well.

Nice place to stay and great view
Condo was as seen in photos. Parking passes and wristbands were on island upon check in. Only issue we had was the bathroom in the hall the hot water needs some adjusting due to whistling the entire time while in the shower and water pressure wasn’t the best. Other than that it was a great place to stay for our visit and we would book with them again.

Summer vacation
It was a decent Condo but the access with one pair of elevators made the stay less enjoyable. I felt like I spent half of my vacation waiting on an elevator…long waits every time. Property needs to invest in another pair of elevators…this was a common complaint by all the guest we spoke with. Also parking places were really tight and if you parked on the yellow line then security would cite you a ticket to tow your vehicle. Our internet did not work for a day which posed challenges with work responsibilities. The air condition also went out for 24 hours which made the condo pretty unbearable, but the service man did add coolant which was a bandaid fix for a 10 year old unit in salt air…needs to be replaced. Overall, we would not choose to stay at Sterling Reef again.

Great location
The condo was nice, the location was great, my only issue was the cleanliness. The rug was clearly not vacuumed, behind the couch was loaded with debris, smears on the walls and baseboards. If it had been cleaned properly, it would be deserving of 5 stars.

They sent me the acces code the next day after I arrived. Was asking for help nobody answer.
I love, this place, but not the service.
Dirty, the maitenance service wants to work while I was there, and the most I have to pay an extra night somewhere else because I could not acces the arriving day.
