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.

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.

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.

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!
