Important Notice: Take advantage of special adjusted rates during Sterling Shores’ temporary property enhancements, still the same great experience, now at an even better value!

Sterling Shores is currently undergoing a beautification project focused on enhancing all balconies and walkways. Renovations are taking place Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Starting after Labor Day, guests may notice construction and dust during work hours. The balcony for this unit will be closed from October 6 through December 1, 2025, for upgrades. You’ll still be able to enjoy the views through the windows, but the balcony itself will not be accessible during this time. Due to this beautification process, the resort’s lagoon pool will be closed for renovations from October 20 through November 10, 2025. During this time, guests can still enjoy the beachfront pool, which will remain open. We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the property.

The nicest place we have ever stayed. We arrived in Destin earlier than our check in time, I contacted Shelly and she was more than accommodating on making sure we could get in our condo early. She was an amazing host, helping us with decisions on dinner and what to do during our stay. Everything we need was in the condo. There were two beach chairs, a small cooler and even a beach bag with 4 beach towels. I can’t say enough good things about the condo and about Shelly. We will definitely stay at Sterling Shores again. and when we do, we will use Shelly

Great location and view

The condo was great! The weather not so much. Didn't go to the beach or pool. Only complaints are there is no cable, just streaming so we couldn't watch the World Cup or football on Sat. At night, I brought DVDs but the player wasn't reading them and the remote didn't have batteries. My girlfriend was cold so I had to ask for a blanket the first night and then we ran out of TP on the second day. Housekeeping didn't leave any extra rolls so we had to use the pool bathroom. All minor stuff so no big deal. We would stay there again. Loved the back porch! Thank you!

We always refer to the reviews of a property and they correct in telling you what to expect. The king size mattress some what uncomfortable. And you couldn't turn the light off the ceiling fan in the living room. Strange!

Good location with a beautiful pool for the kids

This unit was nice and we were happy with our choice. There were some small items that needed to be addressed in the unit, but nothing that wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. The pool is gorgeous and the beach with white sand can’t be beat. The traffic has definitely gotten worse and they’re trying to correct it by widening the roads. Hopefully it’ll be a better situation once that is straightened out. It’s really tough to get out of the complex area now. Bring plenty of patience and sunscreen when you come!

Great location with beautiful pool and easy access to the beach. Front desk guys were both fantastic with great suggestion on restaurants and local attractions. Condo was in good condition but sleeper sofa was very uncomfortable. We have stayed at sterling shores in Destin twice and will definitely be back.
