Our stay was everything we expected and more. We have everything we need. The condominium was just as listed. Second-floor view was absolutely excellent and one of our favorite parts of the property. The grounds were beautifully maintained and kept pristine throughout our visit, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable.A special thank you to Rhonda, who was a wonderful host. She communicated clearly before and during our stay and took the time to check on us to make sure everything was going well. Her attentiveness and hospitality were greatly appreciated.We had a fantastic experience and would not hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended! 10/10

Great location and awesome stay!Super easy walk to The Back Porch—either along the beach or the road—and the food was amazing! It’s right across from The Track, which was so much fun for the whole family. The condo is right on the beach with a nice view of the pool and hot tub. Everything felt really safe, and the place was super clean. Check-in was a breeze, and communication was easy. We ended up adding an extra night because we just weren’t ready to leave!

The condo is unbelievably clean and well appointed. Ocean front view from a great property that is all well maintained. This is our 2nd year coming to this condo and it is consistently great. The check in process is made extremely easy and accommodating from Miss Ronda. She is a wonderful person with a fantastic family. My family and I couldn’t be happier. All of the folks who stay here seem to come back year after year and are all very friendly. The building has a nice grilling area that lots of folks gather and visit while preparing dinner. We’ve been on many vacations, but none feel as welcoming and relaxing as the Sterling sands property. Thank you for everything!!

Incredible place

We had one of our best trips ever! This place is perfect for your family. This condo has everything you need. The murphy bed was perfect for my two littles. The process to book was smooth and seamless. I literally booked the day before and still had everything I needed for our check-in the next day. The condos location to the beach was absolutely perfect. The bonus for us were the beach chairs, especially with littles. You don't have to be out on the beach each morning to reserve your chairs because they already have your name on them. Communication with Rhonda was amazing. She was so sweet and beyond helpful. She had some beach toys and boards for the kids to use, too. We are already thinking of our next trip back!

About the host

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because as a child I used to vacation with my family in Destin and we stayed on this property, Silver Beach cottages. We made great memories and since purchasing in the new development have had the same wonderful experience with my family.

What makes this property unique

Unless you are sitting seaside in a Caribbean resort, it would be difficult to get a better view. The sand in Destin is unique. It is so white and fine that they call it "sugar" sand. Make sure you bring your sun glasses as the reflection off the beautiful sand is bright. Sunsets here paint a new and more beautiful picture each evening that will make for lasting memories. The balcony overlooks God's beauty at a single glance..a memory that you will take with you and will draw you back again and again. If you likes walks on the beach, it doesn't get any better...
