An adjacent, granite-topped kitchen bar with three saddle stools provides additional dining space. In addition to the breakfast bar, the coastal kitchen also has stainless-steel appliances, a tile backsplash, white cabinetry, and custom-made wall art.
Handsome, dark floors extend from the living area into the sleeping quarters, maintaining the beach casual, yet elegant feel throughout the rental.

2024 vacations
The location of the area was great it was nearby everything you need for a vacation. Stores, shops, restaurants and places for kids activities. Also a close walk from the beach with a designated beach area of where we were staying. Very family friendly.
Only remarks would be the sofa bed in the living had bed bugs. My daughter woke up with multiple bite marks all over her body.
Also shared bathroom had a broken doorknob which meant everyone had to pass through the bedroom to use the bathroom. Giving no privacy to the people in the room. Another thing we thought everything was going to be provided for us. We were provided with one set of toilet paper for each bathroom and that was it. We were also only given 2 trash bags for the 4 days we were there. No where on the reservation was it listed that we had to bring these things so we had to buy them while we there. Besides everything mentioned above my family enjoyed a little time away from home.

Beautiful!
This condo was beautiful and spacious. The furniture was all very comfortable and has plenty of seating. It does have a washer and dryer as well as a hair dryer, which I was unsure of prior to arrival. It’s on the second floor so there is only one flight of stairs. There are 2 elevators but they can take a while to get on. I loved the proximity to the pool area. The beach was a short walk and the ocean can be seen from the balcony. Overall, this has been the best condo we have stayed at this far.

We have previously stayed at Sterling Shores and it's great for kids, with pool and beach easily accessible. We will definitely return, but to another unit.
We had some problems in the unit but the property management company was very responsive. We were without a coffee maker for a morning but it was replaced in the afternoon. The clothes dryer broke five days into our stay and it was not available our last three days. Wet clothes and towels don't hang dry well in Florida so this was very inconvenient. The soap dispenser door in the dishwasher did not function correctly and only about half the soap dissolved. This was concerning from a health standpoint so we hand washed anything we used.
As we have stayed in several VRBO properties, we now travel with some of our own household items. If someone is planning on using this unit, plan on bringing a lot. The only things in the kitchen are cooking pans, flatware, silverware, and drinking ware. There wasn't even salt and pepper. There were plenty of towels provided but there were only two rolls of toilet paper for four people for eight days. It felt a little chintzy, especially for the amount of money we spent to stay for eight days.
This unit is located very near the elevator, which did not cause any issues. There is a plumbing system issue which is very loud in the master bedroom/bathroom. We were awakened every morning to rattling pipes as upstairs units flushed toilets.

2nd bedroom should only have one bed
Master bedroom & bath are wonderful. The 2nd bedroom has 2 beds, 1 is in front of the dresser so you can’t use it. The 2nd bed is in front of the closet so you can’t use it either.
The only other issue I had with the property is the private beach access. There are 3 rows of the umbrellas and chairs that you must sit behind unless you want to rent the umbrella and chairs.
