A wonderful location! The property offers great amenities with easy access to the beach etc. As flying, it was nice to have the chairs/umbrellas set up everyday for us. Saw dolphins most days and loved waking up each morning to that view. Property was well maintained!

Condo was exactly as pictured, property was clean. Staff and security were very nice. Elevator was slow and had some issues. Condo was beautiful and very clean. Only issue we had was the jets in the master tub, they could definitely use a good cleaning. Everything was decorated beautifully and the owner was very easy to reach and helpful! Amazing view!!!

Having enough elevators is essential for a condominium complex I didn’t realize there were only 2 in this building, and one ended up being shut down for repair. Otherwise this was very nice

We booked this condo for our elopement in early May. Soda was a wonderful host! Upon arrival, he had arranged for flowers, a card, and a cake to be left in the condo for us which was such a nice touch! The location was perfect and right on the beach close to everything. We would definitely consider staying here again when we come back to Destin. Thank you Soda!

My sister, best friend and I rented unit #311 at Sterling Sands. From the moment we walked in, we were mesmerized by the view. The ocean front unit was perfect for our getaway. It was exactly as pictured and the owner was available via text, email and the VRBO site during our entire stay regarding anything we needed addressed. (Minor things that were fixed during our stay.) The location was perfect, close to anything and everything. The beach service was a nice bonus and the guys at the hut had our chairs and umbrella ready for us daily. It was a clean and quiet place and we'd love to return in the future!
