Sterling Resorts - Sterling Sands - Destin

We had an enjoyable stay in unit 306. The building has recently been renovated; so recent, that it is not quite finished. Their efforts were well worth it, as the pool area and landscaping are lovely; the newly tiled hallways are very attractive; the fresh paint in all areas is obvious; etc. Our unit was spacious, and the kitchen had nice glasses and […] plates ---- not cheap plastic stuff you so often find. While the king-size bed was comfortable, the living room furniture shows its age. We were pleased with our choice and would not hesitate to stay at Sterling Sands again. Read more

We were very pleased with unit 205. It was clean and well kept. The condo was fully supplied with everything we needed for our 4 night stay. We would definetly stay in this condo again.

This was our 1st stay at this hotel and we really enjoyed it. It was very nice and centrally located so it fit well for us. We may return next year.

Location great. Facilities, rooms and ammenities need to be updated.

Hotel is in a great location. I would advise flying to the Fort Sam Walton Airport which is 9.2 miles away unless you drive.

This is our 4th (or 5th) stay at Sterling Sands. LOVE this condo and location in Destin. Family of 4 and we rented the larger 2 BR unit. 2 sliding door (`1 in LR , 1 in Master BR) with glorious view of the Gulf. ON the beach. EZ access to Desin attractions, shopping. Across the street from Local Merlins Pizza - best hometown Pizza. Youowe it to yourself […] to check this place out! Read more

Size of beds in each room was not as I requested. Wi-Fii service was terrible. Trying to get in contact with office personnel was impossible. Left several messages due to washer/dryer & TV's not working, but never received return call. TV's did start working the next day. I found it odd that check-in time (6pm) is after the office closes at 5pm. Condo […] was a little dated. Great view, great parking, clean condo with great beach access. Read more

We stayed in unit 109 a large 2bdrm/2ba, which we paid to upgrade from the smaller "Nautalus" (sp) 2bdrm/2ba that we booked on this website. The unit was very clean, good parking, clean nice pool area and fabulous beach and views of pool/beach from balcony!! Very close to supermarket, restaurants and stores. Beds in this unit need to be updated, but […] we had a great stay and would stay again. Read more

Great location-beautiful view from our large balcony-only real complaint-floors were not clean-the bottom on our feet/socks would actually be black after walking around the room. Double bed in the small room squeaks everytime you move. We did enjoy our stay-and would probably stay again.

Loved this hotel. Will stay again!

After a horrible start to my vacation, the staff of Sterling Sands was more than happy to accommodate when I arrived. Rooms are spacious, not too many people party people and the location is amazing close to everything. Oh, and lets not forget. It's on the Beach!

The rental condo (not a hotel) is a good fit for families who want to have a peaceful staying place. The condo is located right at the white sand beach and clear blue water (need to have sunglasses to minimize too bright light). All rooms are facing the gulf. Each has full kitchen, laundry, dining, living rooms as well as separated bedrooms. Restaurants, […] markets, shops, beach rentals are just nearby. Meanwhile, the beach access is between 9AM - 5PM. Otherwise, you have to use the public beach access. The quiet time is between 10PM - 10AM. The check-out time is 10AM. Any 24 year old or younger must stay with an older person or leave. On the GPS, the street name is Emerald Coast Hwy, not Hwy 98 nor Scenic Hwy 98 etc. Read more

Service was great, requested early check-in and they were able to accommodate. The room was outdated, needed new furniture. The sofa was very uncomfortable, and the sofa bed would have been terrible had we needed to use it. The beach was well kept, however be prepared that you will have to pay an additional fee to use their beach chairs and umbrella […] (we were told $22/day). Read more

Beautiful condo. Property very well maintained

Genuine Expedia guest review

My family and I have stayed at this condo three times total. The first around 2006, second in 2010 and the most recent in June of 2011. Each of the past visits were more satisfying. We were disappointed in this visit b/c of the quality of the room. Apparently, over the past few years, the Sterlind Sands has updated some of the rooms. Our room in 2010 […] was redecorated and we enjoyed that one very much. This year, however, left more to be desired b/c of the room itself. The carpenting & upholstry were dirty (sad b/c my husband owns a cleaning company and we hated to be around dirty surroundings on our vacation). Mattress had huge depressions with the "great divide" in the center. Door to utility closet fell off. Ironing board broke. The hide-a-bed was broken-- good thing my 7 yr old doesn't weigh much. Overall I like the condo as a whole. Fabulous beach, kitchenette well stocked, excellent pool and location. Close to shopping and Destin sights. View was superb. Overall a very relaxing stay. But for the money I paid for the week that I was there, I expected to have accomodations at least as nice as my own home. But if I stay again, I will demand an updated room. Read more

This condo was very nice. It has all what a family would ever need during their vacation. Washer/Dryer and a full kitchen in the unit makes it very convinient for families with kids. The view from the terrace was gorgeous. The only thing that can be better is the size of the second bedroom (in the standard unit)which was very samll and could hardly […] fir our kids. The location is great. Right next to an amusement park and a go-carting racing track which makes it very entertaining for families with kids in the evenings after a long day on the beach. The umbrellas are very pricy and first row umbrellas run out very early in the morning. If you are staying for a week or so, it will be more economic to pay for 5 days at once and then you can book a first row umbrella for the whole 5 days and cheaper than if you pay indvidual days. We would definitely come back here again next year. Read more

The room was very nice and clean. It has a great view of the ocean and pool are. The couch folds out into a huge queen bed. The masterbedroom was roomy and has a private bath. The Track is across the street and Big Kahoonas Water Park is also very close.

Excellent! Sterling Sands is a quiet and peaceful resort on the busy strip in Destin. Easy access to everything... yet relaxing and comfortable accommodations. Plenty of space... never feeling overcrowded... beach, pool, pool chairs,parking, etc. Very nice accommodations at a nice price.

THINGS WE LOVED: after hours checked-in - it was a breeze! Keys that were good for only one night were left for us. This took less than 30 seconds. In the morning we had to do our "formal check in". Again, we did this in less than a minute as we were on our way to the beach. The condo - It was only 8 floors and elevators were quick. The two bedroom/bathroom […] condo was clean, tastefully decoarated, and was stocked better than my home when it came to utensils and cookware. Views - WOW, WOW, WOW! made any gripes that I did have go away. Loved the balcony space. movie rental system - great plus. THINGS WE DIDN'T LIKE: The second bedroom was tight to say the least. When the trundle bed was out, there was no room to walk. The kids were crawling over the bed to get to the door and the bathroom. Knowing what I know now, I'd rent the larger two bedroom. Read more

My Sterling Sands condo was near luxury. It was beautifully decorated, clean and spacious. I had several guests who were amazed at the size and the decor. When I told them my awesome Expedia price, they were speechless. I nearly fell onto the white sands of the beach as it was so close to their beautiful pool area. What made my trip even better was […] the helpful front desk. My phone was a victim to the Gulf and the oil...tanning oil. My phone was destroyed after the tide came up a little too close to my sunning spot. I had to contact my business associate who was coming to bring me to our conference. Because I didn't know his number, the front desk was gracious enough to help me contact him. If you want a luxury place to stay with an amazing price, this is it!!! Read more
