Sterling Shores 203 - Destin, Gulf View, Heated Community Pool, Exercise Room!

Sterling Shores 203 -

Sterling Shores is an appropriate name for the resort that sits right on the water’s edge of the Emerald Coast’s sparkling silver beaches. Ready for a vacation you will not forget? Located in Destin, Sterling Shores 203 is a three-bedroom, two-bedroom vacation rental that can accommodate up to nine guests excited to make some beach memories.

Step into the open living room and enjoy a comfortable seating ensemble, which includes a couch that doubles as a queen-size sleeper sofa and a love seat. Seating is centered around a TV for entertainment, and next to balcony doors that open to a porch with palmtop views. The living room opens seamlessly to the dining and kitchen areas. The dining table seats six, while the bar includes an additional four café-styled chairs. From intimate family gatherings to parties with friends, this open area is the perfect spot to have a good time.

The master suite boasts a king-size bed, en-suite bath with a walk-in shower, TV, and balcony access. The guest bedroom features a queen-size bed, TV and access to a shared full hall bath. The bunkroom is a great spot for the kids, as it includes a full/twin bunk and a TV.

Besides a great place to sleep and hang out, vacationing at Silver Sands has its perks. The resort includes a lagoon-like swimming pool that is heated during cooler times of the year. Additional amenities include a poolside Bar and Grill, extra Gulf-front pool, fitness center, and convenient access to the sterling beach shores.

With its convenient location in Destin, guests will find themselves in the heart of all things beachy. The Destin Marina, Crab Island, Harborwalk Village, popular restaurants, wine shops, beach bars, seasonal festivals, and shopping are mere minutes away. While it might not seem like it can get much better than that, Ocean Reef Resorts guests receive reduced rates at the nearby Big Kahuna’s Waterpark. This vacation is sure to be one for the books!

Beautiful Destin-great condo

This property was perfect for my family. Very comfortable space. We had 7 people, some rainy weather, and did not feel we were on top of each other. The furnishings are very nice and comfortable. It was great to have the options of a large unheated pool, a smaller heated pool, and fabulous beach just steps away.

Nice Condo *rowdy and loud pool

Condo was renovated and nice. TV in master did not work (maybe the remote) but we had wifi so it didn’t bother us too bad. The property was nice but the pool got rowdy at dark and there is no security on site to tame it down. We were forced to retreat (w our 8 yr old) to avoid the bad language. We also had a very loud family in the unit above is but that is obviously out of this unit owners control. While this condo was nice, I don’t think it will be an option for us in the future. More suited for teenagers and young adults in my opinion.

Bed bugs

We were unable to use one of the bedrooms due to bugs, and when we realized it was bed bugs we had to lose an entire day relocating to another property. The only save was we were given an extra day for free. We should’ve received some sort of a refund, a percentage or something considering that we had to have 3 of our party sleep in the floor or double up since we couldn’t use one of the rooms we paid for. The small amount of refund they gave was a joke and nothing in comparison to what we had to go through.

Summer Vacay

After staying at Sterling Shores for years, I was a little disappointed. This room was dirty and needed a good deep cleaning. The bed in the master was very uncomfortable. Also had problems with appliances which always adds stress. We did report but maintenance was unable to repair before our departure. Neighbors were loud and moving furniture at all times it seems. Curtains were torn loose from the runners on patio curtains upon arrival. Bathtub was full of remnants of the previous renter. Good qualities were lots of space, kitchen stocked well, decor was pretty, massive living room pullouts that offered many sleeping options and checking in was a breeze. And I learned that when going to the beach, in the future I will always splurge for the view, as being on the second floor felt like a letdown of previous years.

The condo and beach were great. The beach was crystal clear water while only 10 miles down the road it was full of algae. I’d choose this place over and over again.
