Reviewer Comments:
Sterling Sands has been my go-to vacation spot for decades and it never disappoints. The location is perfect and I love the lower unit count, which keeps the beach from feeling crowded. This was my first time in a 3 BR unit (on the top floor). The side windows added extra light and space and the views were absolutely STUNNING!! The balcony caught more wind being on the corner and the mattresses could use an upgrade (and beach service is no longer included!!), but those are relatively small trade offs for an otherwise fantastic stay. Already looking forward to returning next year.

Dear Brian,
Thank you for your continued loyalty to Sterling Sands and for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout and breathtaking views from the 3-bedroom top-floor unit. The added light from the corner windows is definitely a highlight!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the balcony breeze and mattresses—guest comfort is very important to us, and we’ll be sure to share your comments with the owner for future improvements. As for the beach service, you’re right—it’s no longer included with every unit, as each condo is individually owned and managed.
We’re so happy to hear you had another fantastic stay, and we can’t wait to welcome you back next year!
Sincerely,
Sterling Sands Vacation Rentals
