Sterling Shores is under renovation for a beautification project in which they are working on all balconies and walkways to the condos. Due to this beautification process, one pool closest to the building may close in November very briefly. No other amenities will be affected. Renovations are currently in progress Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The renovation is set to be finished by 1/29/2026. If bad weather interferes with the beautification process, renovations could continue into February. If there are any updates, I will let you know. We have blocked down the units that are primarily affected by this construction. June-Labor Day is painting the exterior and should not cause much of a disturbance. After Labor Day, you may experience floor grinding noise and dust. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Perfect family-friendly condo! The view was wonderful and the condo was so comfy! The bathrooms were huge and updated. We loved using the large pool and then coming upstairs for a late lunch and nap. So peaceful. The walk to the beach was no big deal at all. It was more like crossing a one-way street, the street was so narrow, and the facility paved the way nicely. You enter through gates with a code to another small pool with a bar and then you can walk out to the beach. It was a non-issue and well worth it to have the really big pool that most condos directly on the beach do not have. The Walmart is only a mile away and there is a fantastic local fresh fish market in the same shopping center. It could not have been more convenient! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Perfect family-friendly condo!

We loved it! The view was wonderful and the condo was very comfortable. The bathrooms were huge and the couch was comfy. We made great use of the pool and the walk to the beach was easy-peasy. The washer-dryer was very appreciated too. The Walmart is only one mile down the road. Could not have been more convenient!

Best condo we have stayed at

This condo was like staying at home. Plenty of room for everyone, appreciated the little touches like books, board games etc. plenty of room and kitchen appliances to eat in. And a beautiful short walk to beach. Also a nice extra was this condo owner reserved 2 chairs and an umbrella for our stay. Would stay here again just for that , Overall best condo in Destin by far

Perfect Beach Getaway

We loved the condo at Sterling Shores. We traveled as a family of 5 with our 3 children ages 12, 7, and 4. We felt right at home in the condo and it had everything we needed. The wagon and boogie boards in the closet were an added bonus for the beach. The beach was an easy 5 minute walk from the condo and we enjoyed renting chairs right on the beach. If you don't want to rent chairs you will want to bring your own as their arent any in the condo. Same for beach towels. When the kids were done in the ocean we loved the pool and spent hours there as well. The Back Porch restaurant is just across the street and there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. We did not rent a car and found Uber to be pretty conveneient for getting us where we wanted to go although we never went to far! Also, the couch in the living room does pull out into a bed (don't think that's noted) so that was an added bonus. There were lots of family games provided which made for a fun option when taking a break from the sun. All in all we'd definitely stay here again!!!

Comfy, clean stay

We loved our stay in this unit. Beds were very comfortable, & the unit was quiet and away from the elevators. You can tell the owners have really invested in this unit. Only wish there were towel rods or hooks in the main bathroom. Would definitely love to stay in the unit again.

Everything about this place was wonderful! It felt like a home away from home with everything we needed to feel comfortable. The patio was so spacious and the view was absolutely beautiful. The two free beach chairs with an umbrella was a pleasant surprise! I would return in a heartbeat!

Family Vacay

From booking this property to leaving on the last day was a seamless, easy process. Plenty of room for all of us. The staff at the “front desk” were helpful, nice, and accommodating. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. The only thing I could nit pick would be the shower in the master bath—not enough water pressure and hot water. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again! The beach was heavenly, and the pools were fantastic. We loved the beach, and the guys who provided the beach service were awesome!

Stunning! Perfect condo

This condo was absolutely beautiful! It was roomy and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Our kids loved the double beds in the front room. The view of the pool and beach was gorgeous. It was clean, smelt nice and we will definitely be back again to stay in this exact condo. The location in Destin was central to everything. The property itself was well taken care of and the fact that everything was gated, including access to the pool and beach was very nice.
