Guest Reviews
- Terry (4/5): - No outdoor furniture on patio. Dryer did not work
- Dustin (8/5): - Excellent location
- Scott (4/5): - Good: The pool. Bad: Many----- - The electronic lock on the door was very old and didn't always work when the buttons were pushed. We got locked out because the code gets entered wrong when the buttons didn't register. I called property support and got a new code that didn't work also. We had to wait about 45 minutes for someone to show up with a physical key. - The bedrooms are very small. The primary bedroom has a dresser in front of the bed and there is only about 9 inches of space to wiggle through to get to the other side of the bed. The bed in the second bedroom is like small daybed and doesn't sleep an adult very well. - The fan in the primary bedroom did not work. - The dishwasher drain got clogged somehow when we ran it and it leaked a lot of soapy water all over the kitchen floor. - The patio furniture was pretty old and dilapidated and missing some hardware.
- David (6/5): - We stayed here in the past and enjoyed it. The lack of communication of the 8 am construction, and the multiple fire alarms was a big inconvenience. Not saying I won’t be back, just wish I knew about it beforehand. The noise was so bad, we couldn’t stay in the condo most of the time we were there the whole time.
- Donald (10/5): Destin 2025 - Clean property. Pools are incredible. Great stay!
- Jessica (8/5): Overall fine- no frills, just the basics - Overall a decent room- we had the basics, but dishwasher leaked, no beach towels, not enough hooks, and terrible pillows. The dishes were a weird mixture, with odd utensils- no pizza cutter but 2 blenders and 2 electric can openers. Pans for cooking & knife options were very mismatched also. The property amenties were what makes this place- pools, grills, lounge chairs, beach access, all amazing! Just the unit itself needs an upgrade.
- Mike (10/5): Great trip - Great location, loved the unit, not the greatest views of the ocean from the unit, but you could see the ocean. Easy walk to the beach
- Genesis (10/5): - This house has everything, is well equipped, the view is amazing, location was good . Very good experience.
- Brittany (8/5): - i love this area but the particular unit is dated & a lil dusty! def could use an upgrade inside. as far as being near everything, sterling shores is conveniently beside all the restaurants and attractions. didnt need to rent a car! we will definitely be back for sure (:
- Solanch (10/5): - I highly recommend this property. It’s quiet, safe, and conveniently located near everything, which is especially helpful when traveling with children. If I return next year, I would definitely choose this property again.
- Rebecca (10/5): - 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!
- Jesse (4/5): - We didn't know that the property was under construction! The face of the property was being all redone, we have pictures of the construction zones taped off - didn't expect to pay 100% for something under construction :(
- Paul (8/5): - Very clean and unit was ready on time for check in. The furniture and decor were outdated. The only issue I had (which I did not report bc it really was not too serious) was that the utensil bin only had 4 forks, 4 large spoons and 4 tiny spoons. We are a family of 5
- RHETTA (8/5): - We enjoyed our trip. The condo was very clean. However, the owner didn't put alot into decorating to give you that welcome or home feeling. In one of the bedrooms, the chester drawers was broken and the paint on the nightstand was peeling. Not enough seating in the living room for comfort and the dining room table and chairs were not comfortable.
- DeWitt (8/5): - Our stay was overall pleasant. The weather was beautiful, and the beach itself was stunning—with crystal-clear, turquoise-tinted waters and warm, white sand that felt like a dream. Our room was clean and well-stocked with towels and amenities. We appreciated the entertainment options, including games, reliable WiFi, and unlimited streaming TV—perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. However, I can’t give a full 5-star rating due to a few concerns. First, the room lacked curtains, which impacted our privacy. It was also smaller than expected, and the large mirrors, while stylish, created an illusion of more space than there actually was. It’s also important to note that the condo is not directly on the beach. To access it, you must walk past the pool, through multiple gates (including crossing a street), which can be a burden—especially when carrying beach gear. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend Sterling Shores for elderly guests or those with mobility or health concerns, as the trek to and from the beach can be tiring and take away from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the umbrella and chair rentals were overpriced. More troubling, though, was the behavior of some guests. We encountered several individuals who were rude, and at times, made inappropriate and racially insensitive remarks. These encounters cast a shadow over what should have been a fun, welcoming beach environment. Despite these issues, I still love Destin, FL, and would happily return.
- William (10/5): - Great
- Michelle (8/5): - Property was beautiful, pools were very well clean.
- Tally (10/5): - Great location! Our floor was low so we didn’t have the best view but otherwise a wonderful place!
- Joel L (10/5): - Muy bueno todo en ese hotel le doy 100
- Lynn (8/5): - 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.
- Jordan (8/5): - Overall amazing location clean private beach access was super nice. The bed and pillows were my only complaint.
- Jack (10/5): - We stay at Sterling shores every year in May. 2 Pools and easy walk to the beach across the street.
- Kayleigh (10/5): - Great location near the beach
- Daniel (10/5): - Love the stay. Family had an amazing time
- Derrick (10/5): - Great stay and very close to beach and private pool
- Phillip (8/5): - This was an awesome place to stay. I really enjoyed the full kitchen setup. We definitely utilized it and cooked some meals ourselves. The bed and couch were moderately comfortable. The shower was amazing. We were able to walk to the beach within minutes from our room. The grounds were very beautiful and there was a lovely lilac bush in bloom in front of the building that smelled intoxicating! There’s only 1 reason I’m not giving a 5 star rating! That’s because we were only provided 2 tiny rolls of toilet paper for a 4 day, 3 night stay. If you are a woman who is menstruating or someone experiencing diarrhea do yourself a favor and pack some extra tp!! We had to leave the room and run down to the outside bathroom and grab wads of toilet paper several times to get by during the last day/night of our stay. Given the price we paid it felt ridiculous to have to do this. I’m sure the property is able to buy in bulk for pennies given the quality of what was provided.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice Place - It was a nice place to stay.
- Liza (10/5): - Amazing property. Gated, safe, clean and quiet. Great communication. No issues. Highly recommend. Would stay here again, no hesitation.
- Ashley (8/5): - It was definitely NOT an ocean view. Paid for an upgrade and was disappointed in the view. The rest of the condo was wonderful.
- Joan (6/5): - There was construction going on the whole time we were there either in the room next door or room up above us! They started every morning at 7:00a.m. The coffee pot in the kitchen needed replaced! It would not send water up the reservoir! I replaced it!😊
