Girl's Getaway
We had a wonderful time on our vacation and were very comfortable at Sterling Reef, unit 506. It was clean and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The keypunch made access to everything very simple and the check in was as well. Bonus was having two chairs and a beach umbrella from beach service available for our use. Could probably use a new iron, other than that we have no complaints whatsoever and will definitely come and stay here again.

Nice Views
We had a good stay here! The place was a good enough size for my husband and I, and my sister and brother-in-law. The place had awesome views, and was right in the middle of where everything is. The beach was not crowded whatsoever. I was worried about the elevators, but they weren’t as bad as what I have heard. It was a wait sometimes but nothing too awful. The only thing I will say is to make sure to get toilet paper on your grocery trip. There is one roll per bathroom, and you will run out before you know it. If you have an issue with anything I would try to contact customer service by phone - text does take quite a while to get a response. The only thing we needed to really contact them about was super noisy upstairs neighbors who were being really loud at night. Overall was a great stay and I’d stay again!

Disappointed
The worst experience! Vacasa would not post my comments. Virbo has always been wonderful, don't stay in a Vacasa property. Unclean, outdated, no customer service on the property, no local phone number to contact, smokers on patios making it impossible to sit outside, loud music all night. Pillows and mattresses old and worn out, furniture smelly, no admenities to speak of such as kleenex etc.. the smallest. 2 elevators requiring overload, unsafe and up to 2 hours waiting for one. Upon arrival, 4 pm office closed so no parking permit with security saying if no permit car will be towed. After spending an hour trying to contact a person associated with the condo/Vacasa we finally contacted a local Chamber of Commerce representative to help us so we could park our car in the garage for the night and unpack not fearing our car would be towed off. No other place to park. The entire stay was disaster and I cannot recommend this propety to anyone!!

Horrible service
The property manager and staff was awful. Only 1 elevator worked and you would have to wait 30 minutes at times. I have a dog that is Ada registered and had approval before for the dog to stay but when we arrived we was told no. Which cost $400 extra for my dog to stay at a kennel

Great location next to Pier Park with restaurants within walking distance. View was fantastic. Condo was spotlessly clean. The building is under renovation so there can be a huge wait for the elevator while the second elevator is being completed.

My husband and I enjoyed this vacating rental for 3 days. It was a perfect location on the beach. All the staff we encountered at the property were happy and friendly and made the experience all the better. The room itself had everything we needed and was just like the photos. Comfortable and clean. We would definitely book here again!

Beautiful place . Recommend
We enjoyed our stay . Condominium was clean, beautiful and just as described and show in pictures. Condominium owners don’t bother you with any text or emails as other condominium owner where we had stayed. Condominium elevator was down for a couple of hours but it was fixed fast enough to avoid canceling a day at the beach. We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to reserve again in the future.

We were pleased with our accommodations. The check-in process was a breeze and so was checking out, we were even offered a longer check-out time, only thing was, we couldn't tell how much it cost before hand, we wanted to stay longer but without knowing how much, we just decided to check-out in the original time frame.
We will definitely stay with Sterling Reef again! They have security that pays good attention to who is coming & going and if you belong there, so we felt safe!!
Thank you to all at Sterling Reef for a great & relaxing summer vacation!!

Great location not far from activities and parks. Beautiful and maintained beach. Concerns addressed quickly by management. Only issue was one of the two elevators being down.
