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!

Great View!

The condo was very nice and clean. Loved that it had new patio furniture and several options to dine, sit, and relax on the balcony. We really liked the pools and private beach area. Great location to everything. The top floor definitely has the best views.

Awesome!

We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary and these guys really made us feel special. We received complimentary drink holders while at the beach with our beach chairs and umbrella. Our room was clean, updated, spectacular view of the beach and a VERY short walk to the beach. Pool area was great, the restaurant across the street was delicious and a short walk from us. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

Lovely Condo

Condo was very up to date and beautiful decor View was fantastic. Living room furniture was extremely comfortable. I would have given 5 stars but the king mattress has to be replaced, no support and sinking in the middle

Nice Property, with some attention needed

This was a very nice unit. It is decorated nicely, was clean, and has great views. As some of the other reviews noted, the sofa is worn and uncomfortable. Also we had difficulties with the TV and noted Roku remotes but no apparent Roku. The guest room ceiling fan could not be adjusted because there were no attached strings. Also, one skillet is not sufficient to accommodate guests in this unit. Please double check towels and ensure they are clean, I found lots of hair stuck in the “clean towels.”

Beautiful location, needs a few things

The view from this unit is beautiful. It’s an easy walk across the street to the beach. The pool is nice, there is not a hot tub at this property. On the beach the rental chairs and umbrellas take up all of the view and front spaces if you bring your own. There are no beach towels or chairs to use in this unit so you’ll need your own. We had to set up on the 3rd row of seating and it was hard to watch the kids in the water. The unit was fairly clean. I will say that inside the dishwasher was absolutely disgusting and the washer could be cleaner as well. Probably two things that get overlooked. I ended up hand washing any dishes we used to eat because the dishwasher was so dirty and it also did not clean well, probably because of all the build up. I do wish we had access to some type of vacuum to keep the sand up during the week. The TVs in the bedroom could be bigger but we didn’t spend much time watching tv. Most places we have stayed have smart TVs so the kids can watch Netflix or Disney+, these are not smart TVs but they did have a dvd player if you use dvds. The master bedroom mattress was not comfortable to us. Overall we had a great vacation and this was a nice property but a few things could be improved.

AMAZING!!!

Amazing staff, condo was beautiful, the view from the balcony was even better. Located right off the beach, across from a couple restaurants and a Go-cart place, within a mile of a Walmart. The Back porch is right behind the resort, the food was amazing. Very clean, pool was amazing. Need a designated smoking area for those that do smoke cigarettes other than that I have no complaints and can't wait to stay again

Everything was great but what we loved was the view, the private access to the beach, the private pool on the beach and the prime location with the closeness of restaurants, shops and entertainment. Can't wait to go back next year.

Early spring vacation

The view and the location is amazing. Love the updated kitchen and bathroom. As someone stated in a previous review, the sofa really does need to be replaced. The master bedroom mattress didn’t work for my husband’s back either.

Perfect for our Getaway!

This home was just what we wanted for our trip! Perfect amount of space, beautifully decorated, clean and very convenient location. Appliances were updated, everything was working perfectly. We had no issues with anything. The pool and beach are right there and were beautiful as well. Plus a great seafood restaurant right across the street on the beach. Will definitely stay again next time we come!

Not bad

Condo is nicely updated. The couch needs to be replaced, The coffee pot is very small. Definitely, not what you normally get in a condo. The fan in the master is very loud. Didn't sleep very well throughout our stay bc of noise..not sure if it was doors being shut or what. There was sand in the shower upon arrival. The view is fantastic.

Love it

This is our second time here. Our unit was very clean and ready for us. There were some things that were not working but we just let them go as they didn’t affect our stay. The only compliant I have is the unit is right by the elevator so you hear it ALL day and night and it might be time to upgrade the couch In the unit it is very broken in and hard to get out of.

Sterling shores is in a great location.

I think the grounds of the property could have been much cleaner. Also, the room i stayed in was okay, it needs an upgrade on living room sofas. Looks very dirty. Everything else is okay. With Covid still being a factor needs to be furniture you can wipe down. The sofas are very worn out the fabric.
