Sterling Sands is an 80 unit newly upgraded beach front retreat located directly on the Gulf of Mexico in the heart of Destin. This platinum plus rated fifth floor condo unit sets a new standard for the building. It is 50% bigger than some of the other 'Two' bedroom condos in the building. You can relax and enjoy the panoramic view of the 380 foot stretch of beach from the spacious balcony. With only 80 units there is always easy access to and from the spacious beach front. Feel your stress and tension melt away into the cool calm water, or be kissed by the sun while laying on the pristine soft sands.

Sterling Sands is near attractions, shopping, fine restaurants, and right on the sugar white sands of Destin Beach, the perfect place to see dolphins frolic.
You are just a short 10 minute beach walk to the restaurant Back Porch, save room for the Candy Shop. Directly across the street you can find Pizza, Subs, large beverage store, and ice cream/yogurt. If you forget your toys or beach wear a large beach store is right across the street. Short walk and you are at 'The Track' a young & young at heart entertainment park. As you know good food , golf ,fishing, jet skis/boat rentals for gulf or bay and shopping abound in Destin.

Destin Commons is a 10 minute drive to the east with great shopping, and the Rave Theater with a great Bass Pro store. For food or your other needs there is a Walmart or Fresh Market and many other specialty stores within proximity. Be sure to take a drive along old 98 east and see the beaches.

Silver Sands, a large factory outlet mall, is located within a few miles. In addition, the brand new Destin Commons outdoor shopping mall is at the corner of the Mid Bay Bridge and Highway 98. Destin Commons has a huge movie theater complex, Hard Rock Cafe, Bass Pro Fishing shop, Johnnie Rockets, and all the mall shops you have come to know and love in a beautiful outdoor setting (don’t forget your sun block!).

Before Destin was a vacation and tourist spot, it was a fishing town. If you are interested in doing some fishing while in Destin, Fort Walton Beach has just built a new fishing pier, and deep sea fishing is right up the street!

If you like road trips, take a drive down 30-A to Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and see everything in between for some spectacular sightseeing. Also located eight miles east on the bay side of the Sandestin Resort is the newly erected Baytowne Wharf area. Here you will find more shopping and great restaurants overlooking the Choctowatchee Bay. For the kids, Baytowne Wharf offers bungee jumping, dune buggies, go carts, and a water park right across the street, or drive a couple miles east on Highway 98 and you’ll find a great amusement park. If you want to feel like you have really gotten your money's worth, and have never been to Destin, now is the time to go. No matter how long you stay, it is never enough.

The Emerald Coast was recently picked as the #1 Beach in America by USA Today readers and selected for the 12th year in a row as the “Best Beach in the South” and “Top Family Destination” by Southern Living readers!

    Overall our family of 4 had an enjoyable time staying in this 5th floor unit at Sterling Sands. The pros were the location directly on the beach and close to shops/restaurants, open layout design, comfortable beds, large terrace with amazing view, the pool, the well equipped kitchen with tons of utensils and cookware, the small cooler to bring down to the beach as well as a few chairs, Boagie boards and noodles. Also watching dolphins and turtles swim and air force jets fly by were highlights. We were also able to check in early which was a pleasant surprise and the ladies at the front desk were very nice and had our welcome packet all prepared. The Porch restaurant is only a quick 10 minute walk down the beach and was perfect for a lunch and cocktails. The cons were the cleanliness of the unit (hair in bathroom, dirty toilet, greasy fingerprints on cabinets in kitchen, bathing suits left in the closet, dirty glass on the terrace and a/c vents filled with dust.) The decor is nice but the furniture and carpets need a serious deep cleaning. Also I can't understand why a beach rental doesn't provide beach towels! Thankfully I asked before we arrived and we packed our own but it was a hassle fitting them in our luggage. Also, it would've been nice to have more than 1 roll of paper towel, 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom and at least salt and pepper in the kitchen.

    We really enjoyed this condo. The view was amazing and there were a lot of cooking utensils available. There was a washer and dryer, beach toys, floaties, chairs, a small cooler for the beach. We really had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.

    This is our 5th straight year staying in a Sterling Sands condo and this one did not disappoint. The condo is recently updated and very nice! Plenty of amenities in the condo and we loved the outdoor table and lounge chairs. The complex is getting new hurricane doors so there was some construction noise during the weekdays by the pool but that’s just a sign of a the complex taking care to update the properties. We will be booking this one again for our next stay!

    Great location, great condo, and a fantastic vacation!! The condo is perfect for a small family and we loved the location (walking distance to The back Porch and mini golf)! The beach service was a big perk! Highly recommend!

    The condo was right on the beach which was the selling point for us! The only downside was the cleaners didn’t do a great job. The cabinets in the kitchen and bathrooms looked like they had never been cleaned, I had to wipe off toothpaste splatters in the master bath, and the fingerprints on the fridge and kitchen cabinets. The glass on the balcony was foggy and dirty with footprints on it. It would have been nice to be able to see through that. The ice maker in the wet bar never worked and the one in the kitchen would melt the ice together in big chunks. We also couldn’t find the switch to the garbage disposal. The condo itself was very spacious and just like the pictures. The kitchen had everything you would need which was great. I just think the owner needs to double check the cleaners because it seems like they are lazy and half clean. The night time pool supervisor was rude the first day about the wristbands but he was the only one that seemed to care if you wore it or not. The guys at the beach chair rental were rude unless you tipped them and they only gave you a good spot if you tipped and they would verbally let you know.

    The condo was clean and beautiful with all upgrades. The view is spectacular. Communications with owner and HOA very responsive. The beach service and parking are the cherry on top.
