Too pricy

Be sure to read the fine print. We had an additional $60 to pay for resort fee in addition to the rental. Not a good value for the money.

Breath Taking Views! Excellent Location - But...

We did enjoy our 11 night stay, the views are breath taking and the location is excellent. Property seems managed well-parking lot clean and on site security is a plus. The unit could use some improvements. The master bed is in serious need of replacement - very uncomfortable. There were stains on the master sheet. The master bath tub does not drain well. The washer was dirty and could not do laundry as it got black yuck on the clothes. Floor rugs are dirty. The balcony glass was dirty and had foot prints from previous rents all over. That said, the kitchen and appliances were very clean and well stocked. We did enjoy our stay - location and views can not be beat in Destin!

Don’t go

Overall condo was nice except jetted tub was grungy and didn’t drain properly, kitchen needs pizza and baking sheet pans. I would not recommend Sterling Sands because of their beach situation. We were not allowed to sit near the water and were moved like second class guests to behind the rentable umbrellas and chairs. No one mentioned the requirement to rent umbrellas and tables in order to sit beachfront either when we booked or checked in.

Good Location and Clean

Stayed here for a workcation. The property and location was good. The condo could use some maintenance. The electrical was not good. Some of the outlets wouldn’t work and the lights would dim up and down on their own. The place was clean however their was some staining in the showers (prob just from age) and rust on some areas throughout the condo.

Not very clean.

When we got to the condo the floors were sticky and any time you were bare foot you’d end up with the bottom of your feet being black only an hour after arrival. Some of the cooking utensils were stained yellow and very badly needed to be replaced on top of not having any spatulas at all which made cooking very difficult. The shower didn’t drain in the master bedroom. And the jets were gross. I wasn’t comfortable bathing my two year old in the tub at all. In the second bedroom we scooted the bed over a tad bit and there was trash left from previous guest. Empty sprite bottle, etc. Also did a load of laundry while we were there and ended up with clothes in my pile that were not ours. Need to do a better job cleaning.

Beautiful view, clean condo

The view from the 8th floor is perfect, just the beach and the ocean. Sunrise to the left, sunset to the right, and the moon reflected over the water all night. This property was clean, with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen (remember to bring your own salt and pepper, coffee and coffee filters). One note, the property is right off of I-98, so there is significant road noise, from motorcycles to semi-trucks that can be heard in the bedroom. We always have a fan, so the noise doesn't bother us, but a sensitive sleeper would want to bring a white noise machine or a fan.

Life is best by the beach

Overall our experience was good. We met some very nice people during our stay, staff was extremely helpful. The set up, the organization of the room was easily to find everything that we needed for our stay. We did have some difficulties with the front tv as to where the box was located or if it was the remote to change the channels or the volume. Downside: the master bath was either not mopped or the bottom of the trash can was not clean, because there was urine on the floor from the toilet to the cabinet side. Which when I had to change out the bag I put the can on the sink to change and noticed the urine. Then I had to disinfect the counter area. The second room was a bit of a challenge, either the bed or the tv should be changed on the set up, possibly change the mounting to be more flexible/motion-able because when laying in bed it was a bit strenuous to watch. Fortunately our daughter had her laptop to watch movies. Since families stay it would be nice to have a four toaster vs a two slicer. The glass table used near the sofas move, I would be a bit worried to have toddlers stay since it was not stable. Lastly the vents could use a cleaning.

Week of Hurricane Sally

The condo was exactly as pictured. Everything we expected was provided. I emailed Vacasa about a small maintenance issue early on Sunday that was resolved before 10 am the same day. They also checked in on us during the storm which was very nice. The only downside was bad beach service-this was in no way related to Vacasa.

Great view but mediocre condo

For the money, this condo should sparkle. Main areas are clean but your met with areas that haven’t been touched in a year. Sofa and guest bed are astoundingly poor and extremely old with no cushion. Otherwise, everything else was fine. Best part was the view / balcony.

The condos location was great. The unit was not somewhere you can comfortably spend several days

The location of the condo was great! Perfect view of the beach. The downfall to this unit was there was no drawer space for clothes so you have to live out of suitcases and that causes it to be messy. There was one closet in the master but it was full of old wall decor that needed to be removed. It left no space in the closet for anything. Also, the balcony did not have the chairs and table that are shown in the pic. It had 4 small plastic chairs and 2 small plastic end tables.

Great Location. Property needs some work and updating

The room was clean and served our purpose for a long weekend. It would have been hard to stay there any longer because there was not a drawer for clothes in either bedroom. The elevator had on very dirty rug that did not even cover they plywood floor. We were disappointed they chose to power wash the pool deck in the middle of the day instead of earlier in the morning when no one was using the pool
