Sterling Shores Condominiums by Vacasa, Destin FL

Update (3 years later) : this place is still exactly the way it was 3 years ago. No we have not stayed here again. But we looked into it and nothing has changed. We know others who have stayed there and didn’t enjoy it. So sad.sterling shores is not what it used to be. We used to love staying here, but in the past year or two it has really gone downhill. The room we checked into, 305, was so dirty, we are finding old food stains all over the kitchen, trash by the couches, a broken bathtub, and more. You can no longer check in before 4 or you have to pay a fee, you have to wear a band to be in the pool area.by the way that is the most RIDICULOUS rule I have ever come across, I don’t know who thought that was a great idea. I have paid way too much money to stay here to have to have a band on my wrist, I’m not having it. We will no longer be staying here. And to whomever owns this hotel, you need to learn something from Walt Disney World, or your business is going to continue to plummet.

We stayed in Unit 617 and it was absolutely the best place we have stayed at in he Destin area. The unit had fantastic furnishings, soft beds fresh linens and the most amazing bathroom such a resort feel, kitchen had everything you would want, the views are breathe taking walk in and all you see is the gulf of Mexico, can't wait for next year already booked same unit

Desk girl was very rude along with an old hag standing there with her. The entire place needs to be pressure washed. Stairs are faster than waiting on an elevator

The biggest plus is they were easy to contact and responded quickly to all inquiries. The unit needs updating, including new furniture and a new shower. There were chunks of dirt in the shower door that was built up, very disgusting. There was also grime on the shower head that looks like it's been there for some years. The shower head was broken and the water didn't come out right. There was hair on the wash cloths, glad i brought my own from home. The patio furniture was rusted and needs to be replaced. The bathroom seems larger than the sleeping area. There was no furniture inside accept the bed and 3 dressers/night stands. There was a cheap plastic table and a computer chair by the door, but no where to eat at for 2. The patio door was super hard to open. It was stuck, my husband could barely get it open. The bed wasnt that comfortable and it was small. The floor wasnt cleaned well. I made the mistake walking barefoot and had dirt on the bottom of my feet. It is close to the beach, and they have a resort style big pool and a smaller beach front pool with a snack/drink bar, which wasnt open everyday, not sure why. The front door only says A, not 701A. We were trying to enter our neighbors apartment because our door wasnt labeled correctly. The AC is very loud. You can hear everything in the next room, made me feel there wasnt any privacy. I dont think I would stay in this unit again.

Not impressed. Bugs on the floor and walls, saw a large one on the counter. Smoke alarm was going off when we arrived. Had to turn off circuit breaker off, so we could sleep. Planes from Destin airport fly very close to the buildings and very loud. Was only on the 3rd floor Needs a toilet paper roll. Balcony tables were very rusty. Room 303. To expense. Wasn't pleased at all. People up above this unit 303 was dragging chairs across the floor at all hours.never again!

I’ve visited Destin many times over the past couple of years, and each time I fall more in love with the city.

I decided to stay at Sterling Shores by Vacasa for my birthday trip and we stayed in unit 807. The views were immaculate and thoroughly enjoyed myself!

The heated pool was nice and so was the access to the beach since it was just right across the street. The unit was nice as well, seeing as it had a separate shower and jacuzzi tub in the main bedroom (I got a 2 bedroom since some friends came to visit as well).

I look forward to staying here when I come back to Destin!

We rented a condo on the 10th floor overlooking the harbor. Two bedroom two bathrooms full kitchen and in our case a great owner we met after he drove here personally to show us how to use something. It has plenty of room for a family. For sure would enjoy regular visits.

We loved our view.very nice condo.nice location everything you need or want is right there. 5 min drive.walking distance.only thing I would said is make sure you bring your own beach chairs.because they make you pay for theirs.

Brought my seadoos with me from Texas. Nowhere did it say I cant park in the parking lot with them attached or no attached to the truck. No signs say I can't. But the guy working the gate was rude, had no other options besides he will have it TOWED.rent a 3 bedroom condo. Have 2 cars and a seadoo trailer.don't come here if you have a trailer.

Oh my, beautiful views of an amazing beach. Great facility and pool. Family-friendly. Gated with ample parking.

The condos are great the view is wonderful the help is great I would highly recommend staying here for sure.
I would stay here again.

Beautiful quiet place to stay while making memories with family. Great resturants and fishing trips. Also had time to do some shopping. Definitely have a new vacation spot.

I have been coming to sterling shores for the last 10 years and will continue to come back. All units are through VACASA now which is probably for the better. Super clean. We always rented chairs from Michael but he retired this year so we rented from the Sterling shores guys and they were great. I had prepaid for 5 days and 2 of those days were a wash due to the hurricane and they refunded me. Super nice guys, love the location, can’t wait to be back

We stayed in Room 408 this weekend. The room was fantastic with an absolute breathe taking view of the ocean. The bar, bartenders, condo staff and security was all top notch. This is our 3rd condo in Destin we've tried and I would go back to this place. Only reason I give 4 stars is due to the beach staff for this place not allowing canopies. Other than that great spot to Vaca!

DO NOT STAY HERE! This place is awful! When we arrived to our room the place wasn’t clean. They had not cleaned the room, the shower curtains were disgusting, the sheets weren’t clean, the countertops were sticky, the floors had sand on it and had obviously not been swept or anything, AND WORST OF ALL, BED BUGS! The beds and couch were all infested with bed bugs.

Quiet during our stay at end of year. Awesome view from room. Two pools with beach access. You do have to cross road to 2nd pool and beach. But road not to busy. Check in was easy.

Very nice place very good view of the pool and the beach if you go in penthouse 6 it is the best room ever best view ever great service beach was nice pool was nice
