Great property and we will definitely stay again at Sterling Shores. The pool and grounds were amazing and easy access to the beach and good restaurants. It would have been nice if this unit provided a few more things like beach towels since not everyone is driving with these essentials and can bring them. Not a huge deal Overall it was an amazing unit and we had a great time, even with Tropical Storm Bertha!

This was our first time in Destin and our expectations of Sterling Shores was absolutely met. The building was kept (even during renovations), our condo was immaculate, the pool was clean and everything was exactly as it was advertised. Communication from Vacasa was excellent and they answered my questions via text in a prompt manner. We would definitely like to come back and even make this an annual vacation destination!

The property was quiet and well lit. It was not located directly on the beach but was just across the street. It could use more communication as to how to access pools and beach from property. Needs some hot pads for the kitchen. Overall a nice place stay for families.
