About this property

Relax on your balcony with a stunning view of the gulf.

Sterling Sands is located directly on the Gulf with a beach that boasts 380 feet of sugar white sand. This complex features a heated pool, hot tub, barbecue grills with picnic area and fitness room.

This well appointed condo is decorated in a beach theme with fabulous 7th floor views from both the living area and the balcony. Morning coffee on the balcony is not only a relaxing start to your day, but also affords you a chance to watch the dolphins on their morning swim. Modern updates include granite countertops, tile flooring and new cabinetry in the kitchen and baths. Other updates include stainless steel appliances, and a full sized washer/dryer.

The 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo features a master bedroom with a king size bed and full bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and private access to the second full bath in the unit. The kitchen offers an oversized snack bar plus separate table and chairs. A new sectional has generous seating to enjoy views of the gulf, or your favorite TV shows on the 62” television. Also included at no additional fee is free WiFi and expanded cable.
Located in the heart of Destin you will find easy access to an endless array of activities. In addition to golf, kayaking, parasailing, bumper cars, miniature golf and more, Destin provides unlimited choices for casual and fine dining. You will find multiple shopping venues such as Harbor Walk, an expanded Destin Commons and the Silver Sands outlet mall all within a short drive.

Highly Recommend

Our family really enjoyed our experience at this Sterling Sands condo. The condo had everything we needed, very comfortable and right on the beach. The view was amazing and the spacious balcony offers plenty of space to sit out and take in the sights and sounds. The beds and couch felt new and everything in the condo was high quality. The pool and hot tub were nice as well and we appreciated the security staff on site that monitored noise levels and kept out the rift raft. Very easy walk out to the beach as well. And also wanted to mention many great restaurants and shops super close by which was really nice. 10/10 for us!

Comfortable condo right on the beach

Our stay at this condo was wonderful. Good size for 4 adults, with comfy beds & nice bathrooms. The living area was great with all the comfortable chairs & couches and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The best part was the easy walk to the beautiful beach and the included chairs & umbrella during our stay. Charlie was extremely easy to communicate with, reached out immediately to answer all of my questions, & gave us great recommendations for places to eat. For our 1st visit to Destin, this condo was perfect!

Wonderful place to stay!

This condo is amazing! Very spacious with the best views from the 7th floor. The location is very great as well. We loved that we had a spot in the parking garage for the nights that it was raining. This condo has everything you could possibly need. Beds are very comfy! The swimming pool was great as well as the complimentary beach chairs & umbrella. We didn’t want to leave this beautiful condo! We will FOR SURE be staying here again!

Wonderful condo!

Nice and clean. Easy check in process. Great location and short walk to the beach! We loved that beach chairs were included. Not as big as other condos so less crowded on the beach which is a big plus! Property manager was in contact the whole week. He even had sand toys for my little one after asking since we were flying in. He also mailed my older son’s backpack back to us that we left in the condo. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful beach property

We had an amazing time at Charlie's place. Charlie was the epitome of an excellent host from the moment we booked our stay all throughout our vacation. He answered all our questions promptly which we really appreciated! Now the beautiful condo! Simply stunning! Right on the beach, steps from the immaculate and clean outdoor pool. The ocean view from the living room was even better than the photos! The condo was very clean, spacious, and updated. We would definitely stay again. Thanks again Charlie!

Great vacation stay at Charlie's Retreat!

We really enjoyed our stay at Charlie's Retreat. The check in process was easy. The location is great! Right in the heart of Destin. I was travelling with two teenagers, so it was a great location for them to walk right out to the beach and be in a more energetic part of Destin. The condo was updated, very clean and well equipped - two coffee pots (one was a Keurig), plenty of kitchen supplies (plates, glass, pots/pans), updated appliances and games and books. I personally enjoyed the balcony a lot. It was great for morning coffee and reading with an ocean view and ocean sounds. The size of the condo was perfect for the three of us too. The access to the beach is easy and quick, so it was very nice to pop in and out of the beach without much planning required. Plus the condo came with two chairs and an umbrella which was great! Charlie was awesome to work with as a condo owner! He's very responsive and wanted to make sure everything was okay. I would definitely recommend Charlie's Retreat for your stay!

Vacay in Destin

The greatest things about the rental were the large kitchen, beach access and parking. The views of the beach from the porch were gorgeous. The check-in process was very easy and the owners sent 2 letters with information about the rental prior to arrival. It appears the HOA is VERY strict. You must aways remember to have your pool bracelet on you at all times, which is understandable to a point. While this is a 2 bedroom condo that sleeps 4, it does not sleep comfortably. I would hardly classify the second bedroom with a queen size bed pushed into the corner, a room. It was quite cramped. Dust was present and very noticeable on the wall over the TV and on ceiling fan. Pool noodles and another guests flip flops were left under the bed, noting that it had not been cleaned properly. One of the recliners in the living room was broken and tied down with a rope. Needs to be replaced. Shower curtains in both bathrooms were not clean, showing mildew. Overall it was a good place to stay but with the cost for rentals as high as they are right now, I’m not sure it was completely up to par.
