Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We understand how disappointing it can be to not have access to the balcony during your stay. The balcony closure is due to ongoing construction, and for safety reasons, it must remain off-limits at this time. All guests are notified of this construction and the temporary balcony restriction at the time of booking, so expectations are clear in advance. We appreciate your understanding and patience while this necessary work is being completed.

Great condo

This was very close to the beach and within walking distance of a ton of places including Walmart if you needed anything. The condo was super clean and we had one problem with the smoke detector batteries being low so it was beeping but the maintenance team came right out and fixed it quick. Super convenient and very clean place to stay at. No problems!

Nice but alittle small

The unit was clean and stocked ok. The bedrooms are alittle small. No where to put your luggage and get to it easily. The complex is nice and pools where good size. Beach access is ok. Will stay at complex again but in a bigger unit next time.

Visit to Destin

The property was great. As for unit 315, overall it was nice. The plastic shower curtain in the master should be disposed of and the bed in the master sinks & very uncomfortable. The unit could benefit from a deep cleaning & vacuum of the living room furniture which had plenty of sand on the sofa & recliner.

the good: very good location close to beach, AC worked great, grounds were nice, balcony had nice view of poolthe bad: master bed had box springs on platform so was way too high, had to climb up to bed nightly, secondary mattress was caving in, none of the 2 pools were heated, but, we made it work, there was a coffee maker, but, no filters or coffee, so, that was a bust. no outdoor patio furniture, there is a wonderful view out there, such a shame, ceiling fan in master couldn't adjust because was missing cordsummary, property can be a really great spot, but, needs to make some upgrades starting with bedding, TVs, furniture, basic coffee setup like filters, I would not stay here again as there are too many better options

Destin - June 2020

We really enjoyed our stay at Sterling Shores, it’s a beautiful property at a great and convenient location. Apartment 315 where we stayed is in great condition except for the mattress in the master bedroom. It is in bad shape and in need of replacement. It buckled and has a heavy drop in the middle and it made it uncomfortable for my wife and I to get a good night sleep. As soon as the mattress is replaced, I would definitely recommend it for a future stay. Thank you.

Beautiful condo but several minor complaints

There was not much of a "check in process". Nothing to familiarize yourself with the property. We had numerous things missing from our condo. We couldn't check in early because housekeeping was doing their "final inspection". I don't think that was the case as there was personal belongings left in bathroom drawers & a dirty patio with soda cans. Despite all the issues, we may consider returning. The location is great! Quick access to the beach.
