Having stayed at dozens of short term vacation rentals, Charlie stands out as probably the most communicative host I’ve encountered. He was great to deal with. Condo is clean, comfortable, and as-pictured. Plenty to do nearby and the condo itself seems well managed. My one gripe about this area has nothing to do with the hosts, but rather the Destin beach scene itself. Each morning at sunrise these chair/beach umbrella rental companies line the edge of the beach with their chairs and umbrellas that are available to rent for an added cost. If you wish to just lay out on the beach on a towel or your own chairs you’re stuck behind these rental company chairs which particularly early in the AM are largely unoccupied. Coming from the Tampa area this was off putting, but again has nothing to do with the hosts. If you’re coming to the Destin area I highly recommend this condo.

Spring Break stay

We visited for Spring Break in April. We had a health emergency that impacted our timeline and property manager Charlie was very accomodating in allowing us to shift our rental dates a few days.The location is great -- near enough to all the attractions without the huge crowds of other areas.Beach access is literally an elevator ride and steps away -- and so is the pool. The unit is on the 7th floor with a good balcony looking directly out to the beach and down to the pool. Fun stay!

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!

Beautifully appointed….gorgeous views from balcony. Ease of transporting luggage, etc.,carts/elevators. Awesome pool/hot-tub. 1 minute walk to beach. Each condo with own secure code for access to amenities. Very secure, safe environment. Owner quite unique in keeping us apprised of all the “wonderful things to do, places to see, visit including eateries”. Felt as though he had a genuine interest in our happiness. Great location offering vast array of dining experiences within few miles. Will definitely return and would be thrilled to real-visit this property!!
