Life is surely sweet on floor four of Sea Sweet!

Nestled in the heart of Destin is the Sterling Shores Resort. This top-ranked Destin resort destination is situational right on the Emerald Coast, and the 3-bedroom, 2-bath Sea Sweet condominium has one of the best spots for views of the beautiful ocean blue. Located on the fourth floor, the recently updated Sea Sweet beach condo rental accommodates up to 9 guests.

Upon entering this beautiful condo, you won’t be able to resist being drawn to the balcony where the view goes on forever. Sea Sweet overlooks the condo’s decadent community pool and the sparkling Emerald Coast just behind it. Outdoor seating will make this your favorite area for coffee, dining, or cocktails. Of course, the Florida weather makes it easy to leave the wall-to-wall sliding doors open in both the main living are and the master bedroom. Let the gulf air nourish your lungs!

Indoors, there’s lots of seating in the living space. The dining area has seating for 5, and the kitchen counter bar seats 3. Your full kitchen has everything you need to whip up snacks and meals before heading out for the day.

The beachy master unit also grants balcony access (what a way to wake up!). Enjoy the comfort of the master’s king-size bed and the private bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and ironing board.

The second guest room has a queen bed and shares the full guest bathroom. The third bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk. If you need more space, the living room sofa is a queen sleeper.

This is a perfect condo destination for families or mature groups.* When you stay at Sea Sweet, you see how sweet the sea life really is!

*Guests must be 25-years or older and student groups are not permitted.

The property and location were beautiful. The site for the property said it was 4 minutes from the airport, when it was 35 minutes from the airport. When we had a small issue with the living room TV, maintenance came and got it fixed, and also came back the next day to fix a bar stool. We wished there was a bit more information provided about the area, and felt a rental car would have been a good idea, as most places were not within a walking distance. Overall, we had a very nice, comfortable stay.

We really enjoyed the location of this property. It had easy access to the beach, pool, and good restaurants. The view was great from the room! My only complaint is that there are too many rental chairs/umbrellas and not enough open space for personal chairs.

Host is great, place is clean, beach is nice. When we were there they were fixing the big pool on the last two days so not really the owner fault. Wish he have gave us the gate code and Wi-Fi ahead of time, but we did get it. Would stayed again.

Nice property. Our only issue was getting into the property on day one the code given on the app was incorrect but we quickly got in and enjoyed our vacation in the Destin area. Great location to grocery stores, restaurants and the walk across the road to the beach was very easy and took only a few minutes. NIce view of the pool and beach from the balcony.

Location great, outside of building needs some re-fresh if, inside just like the pictures. The kitchen could use more large plates, only 3 in the cabinet and a few new pans would be great. Loved the terrace/balcony views. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Girls trip. Other than an issue with gate code & a few maintenance issue, which were quickly resolved I highly recommend. Great view, great location, love The Back Porch, one of our favorites. Been coming to Destin for 25+ years but never have I stayed at Sterling Shores. We most definitely will stay again & again. Oh, loved the two pools.

This property was perfect!! The property was very spacious for our family of 8. Unit was very clean (and I’m picky). The beds were very comfortable with the best pillows ever. Plenty of kitchen utensils, great washer and dryer. View was spectacular, and resort overall was great. We go to Destin every year and this is our new favorite. Highly recommend!
