Sterling Beach 4BR 4BA 3rd floor end unit condo!!!

We told them about a smell in the middle bathroom upon arrival. On that Monday they came out and it was better that day. But by the end of the stay you could not stay in that bedroom or bathroom. Not sure they can do anything as its an overall property problem. Also the hoa team there is awful. NOT the management team I booked with. They were as helpful as they could be.

We really enjoying how spacious and beautiful this condo was. The ocean view was magnificent!!

Our stay was wonderful. The beach & heated pool were perfect. The property grounds were very nice & the elevators were quick & clean. Playing pool looking over the beach was a lot of fun in the evenings. That being said you could tell the condo was once amazing… but, it needs a serious cleaning. The furniture was covered in stains & the carpet turned our feet black with dirt. When we arrived after driving 13 hours our door lock battery was dead. So we had to wait for a maintenance man to arrive to fix it, which was taken care of in a decent time but it was frustrating. The condo entrance door locked on the outside but not the inside. So if you have small children be aware that they can easily open the door & leave even when it’s locked. There was no other safety mechanism like high chain or latch. We had to go buy a baby gate at Walmart to make sure our kids were secure by blocking the hall to the door. Also both locks to the patio were broken & couldn’t lock so we had to block those with chairs. The security guard was very friendly & helpful. We were given last years gate codes & he was thankfully nearby & able to give us the current beach gate codes. I would stay there again because we had such a fun time as a family. But spending so much money on something that was more stained up than a motel room didn’t feel right.

**Renters Beware**Our stay at this property was very up and down based on how this property management team operates. The actual unit was a disappointment as was their lack of communication and resolution to issues of in the unit. We traveled as a group of 14 people (7 adults/7 children) to a unit that was supposed to have a washing machine. Upon check in the washing machine was not functioning well as it would not spin the water from the clothes. This was notion the 2nd of 7 nights, and immediately communicated with the property manager. They did not send anyone for two days, and then the issue was not resolved. We ultimately had to spend hundreds of dollars to wash beach towels, swimsuits, clothes, bath towels etc. The property manager mentioned they were “looking into an amount of compensation to offer” but they have been radio silent since that message which was 5 days ago. The unit was cluttered in every closet with random (dirty) comforters, stained pillows, really dirty carpets. (If your kids wear white socks, prepare to throw them out). The couch’s in the living room needed to have bedsheets covering them due to how dirty they were. The air condition rattles loudly in the master bedroom and both the bathroom and bedroom doors do not lock/stay shut in the second master bedroom. There are two hot water heaters, one worked, the other side of the unit took cold showers all week. The Sterling Beach grounds are an amazing location & clean. Wish the unit was the same.

Condo was great, beautiful and spacious. Beach and hot tub were awesome.

Great location & easy check-in …needs updating cooking supplies(no crockpots & not enough forks for everyone) ..washer is super loud but works… beds & bedding was all very clean but couches were dirty…loved the pool table & pool & beach was fabulous!! Needs some TLC for price.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed here 2 years in a row with a large family including 7 children ranging from toddler to pre teen. And we don’t feel like we are on top of each other. Each master has a king bed which is great. And the 3rd floor can’t be beat- quick elevators and easy access to stairs. The pool is always quiet. Security is a bit nitpicky which is annoying at times. (Like scolding us for not writing the year on parking passes, or scolding adults for opening a candy wrapper over the trash can by the pool, etc). The room itself is great, but does need some attention to amenities like restocking cookware and sheets/pillowcases for pullout sofas which were not provided. A few light bulbs need replacing here and there. But all together a great space that accommodates us and we will likely return next year.

Bad: Carpet and Sofa's need replacing. It's time for a deep cleaning of the unit overall.Good: Location of property in PCB is good, closer to the state park and less busy area of the strip. I personally like lower level, this is 3rd floor which is nice.

A couple of suggestions - I do think the listing needs to include the rules for the building. They do not allow any food in the pool gate so no snacking what so ever is hard with kids. This condo specifically has terrible pots and pans. And the balcony door was broken but thankfully that got fixed during our stay. I would recommend this room to others. It has all the wear and tear of any place in a beach town, but at the same time was clean and just what our family needed.

We enjoyed the stay. We love the location on Thomas Drive and Sterling Beach is nice with plenty of parking onsite. As many have said the unit shows a good deal of wear- paint, carpet, tile, furniture etc. It truly didnt bother us much though. We had a group of 5 kids and were able to let them play. Everyone loved the pool table. With 4 br 4ba its great for large family. Windows, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms were very clean except for an issue with the shower heads that was corrected the morning after checkin. The fridge in the 4th br did not work. This was a big deal because it was mentioned in 2024 reviews but still not fixed. It was replaced with a brand new one on our 3 or4th day. The ice maker on main fridge seems to work periodically and doesnt make much ice but cools great. Kitchen has basics but thats about it. And minimal starter supplies but no different than a lot of rentals nowdays. The view was great. Lots of windows and a nice corner balcony. Beds were comfy, nothing fancy but no complaints. With it being an end unit you have a large corner outside of unit to keep beach toys. Ours stayed there and was never bothered. But be careful not to block the closet that's there, it would violate fire code- since my son and i are both facilities mgrs we know that but most wouldnt. The grounds are very well kept. Pool is large and heavily monitored. Good little grill area with 3 propane grills. Would stay again!!! But still waiting for my deposit return- said would b 2wks

Our family had an overall good experience on our vacation! The location was perfect and the views were beautiful. With that being said there are several issue that need to be addressed. The door to the balcony from the living room and the front bedroom were not lockable. This becomes a big issue and very unsafe when you have little kids traveling with you like we did. The living room furniture was very dirty and needs a really good deep cleaning. The carpet is also in need of a good shampooing. You can not walk around in the condo barefoot without your feet turning black. The code we were giving to get back and forth from the beach was incorrect, but thankfully there were other guest that were able to assist us! Like I stated in the beginning the condo is in a great location and has beautiful views but the up-keeping of this property needs to be attended to better then how it is currently.

The condo was easy to access on the 3rd floor of the building and to the beach. The pool was a perfect temperature. The guys who clean the site are always around and always watching. They were pretty on about only being in the hot tub for 15 min. As for the condo. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out and talk or play games. The kitchen was nice but

Tv hard to navigate….

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was conveniently located and very spacious! Loved how much room there was. The pool was nice but cold this time of year, a heated option would be nice. Any staff we ran into on the grounds was super nice and respectful. Loved having a pool table in the place, it got a lot of use! Great views out the windows. The side balcony was a bit small but big enough and this was the first time we stayed in a place that didn't have a front balcony, so was surprised how warm it got through the glass without the balcony being there to shade it. The carpet was nice to have although it could use a good cleaning for sure. Couple of the toilets made weird noises and a TV in one room that was tried did not work properly. Not a big deal on any of this as everything else was super nice and we really loved this condo.

Great except really needs a deep clean. My 1-year-old's feet were black from crawling around the inside floors within the first hour we were there. We all wore socks or shoes after that. I expected the black bits in the whirlpool tub, but other visible dirt would be the reason we shop around next time. Also beds were SUPER firm. I thought I liked a form bed, but even I was uncomfortable. For planning purposes: -had pepper but no other food (we left a little salt) -missing measuring spoons, batteries in remotes, oven mitts. Pots and pans were as expected at a rental; enough to get by. -One roll TP in each bathroom. For 6 adults, did not last all week. -One roll paper towels, one mini dish soap. Did not last all week. One washcloth and one dish towel. One used sponge under sink.. Not sure if used for cleaning or dishes. One dish brush that was fine. -Table had 4 chairs but would have fit more. We used the backless barstools that were too high for the table. -nice stock of beach gear in closet. Two chairs that weren't the best. -

Reviewer Comments: Nice unit, though like many, it could use some remodeling - carpet and furniture stains, some noisy bathroom fans and a commode that sounded haunted when flushed. We reported the commode but no one came out. Roomy, clean beds and bathrooms. There is mold on some shower heads that could use some bleach. Nice TV’s.
