About this property

Bright, Gulf view condo w balcony & shared lagoon pool&gym - steps to beach

Summary:

Sterling Shores 815



The Space:

You may notice some minor construction during your stay; however, it should not interfere with your experience You'll never forget the time you spend on Florida's breathtaking Emerald Coast at this open, updated condo in Destin! This condo offers a spacious balcony with a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as an open layout, a well-appointed kitchen, and decor that mirrors the blues of the water. Pass the time by soaking up the Florida sunshine at the lagoon-style community pool, lounging on the white sand beach, or barbecuing in the resort's grilling area. WHAT’S NEARBY This Gulf-facing condo is part of Sterling Shores, a complex that sits just across Scenic Highway 98 from the beach. You'll be only a mile west of great hiking, picnicking, and fishing at Henderson Beach State Park, and two miles west of fantastic shopping and dining at Destin Commons. Spend a day at Big Kahuna's Water & Adventure Park just one mile up the road, and come home to choose from a variety of dining options within a few minutes' drive. Please be advised that a roof replacement project is currently underway at Sterling Shores, with an anticipated completion date by the end of September 2026, and a walkway project through December 2026. Construction activity will occur Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with the possibility of Sunday work if weather delays are encountered. During morning hours (7:00 AM to approximately noon), guests may experience sawing and scraping noise, most notably in penthouse units. Afternoon work is expected to be considerably quieter. For the floor project, you may deal with noise, dust, and grinding sound. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as this necessary improvement is completed, and we regret any inconvenience this may cause during your stay.

Time to Update!

Not impressed with the decline in the property appearance. Furniture does not allow for any space to even walk around the bed in the room. Floor coverings and countertops dated and worn. Scratching this one from the list.

Family Get-Together July 2019

I would definitely stay on this property again but probably would not select #815 due to the queen bedroom. Pro: The view out the balcony was beautiful. #815 overlooks the large pool and the ocean. Pro: Kitchen was great-CLEAN, plenty of pots, pans, tools, dishes, ice maker. Pro: The bathrooms were nice-we had enough towels and they were in great shape. Pro: Washer/dryer were large and newer models. Pro: Everyone who works at this property were friendly. The maintenance staff was fast, thorough and solved all our problems. The beach staff was always helpful. The pool and beach area was always kept clean. Con: The bedroom with the queen bed was so small, you literally could not walk around the bed. To get in/out of bed, you had to crawl over the person on the outside. That was a horrible situation for us as we had a mature couple with a bad back and recent knee replacement. The 2nd couple is 8 months pregnant and the husband had both hips replaced. Also, this bedroom has no closet, so the suitcases had to be stored in the hall by the front door and clothes hung in the master closet. Con: The carpets in the bedroom are threadbare at the door. As a result, little nails are sticking up through the carpet. My granddaughter and I stepped on them. A maintenance man came and repaired it quickly and said they had recommended the owner replace the carpet. Con: In the living area, there is a small couch, a coffee table and a chair. The couch felt like it had seen better days! There was little support which made it very uncomfortable to sit on. We never pulled it out for sleeping. Note-Publix and some food delivery will not deliver to these condos. We were excited to hear the local grocery store, Publix, delivers for a nominal fee. Having to run to an always crowded grocery store after a long drive is not my idea of fun. And then trying to find a cart to get all the groceries up to the condo is always difficult. We found out Publix will not deliver to these condos. We did get pizza delivered.

Unit was clean, and available 2 hours before check in. Process to check in and out was easy. The view was great. I would like to see beach chairs and umbrellas for tenants included with the units. We will be back, great place!
