No accessory’s

We loved the size and the room- great porches to over look beach. Bad is the Kitchen had no accessories for cook & or anything, had to borrow some random guys stuff to Grille with, plus the washer machine had mold growing in it, pour dish washer too. The resort is great and good. Liked the place but not the room.

Disappointed for sure.

Although we had a nice time, we were disappointed with the property, especially considering what we paid to stay there. While the condo was "clean", it was in need of some TLC for sure. The carpets were super worn and dirty, the mattresses were not comfortable and the fitted sheets did not fit the mattresses or stay on them while sleeping, we could not locate the remote control to the TV in the main living area so could not tell if it was a smart TV or not, and the parking garage space that was advertised/included as part of the rental was not usable as it was piled full of old appliances/furniture. Also, the "welcome" mat to enter the condo was super gross-and this was the first thing we saw when we arrived. I almost bought a $10 new door mat at Walmart to leave behind. While we enjoyed our stay with family, we unfortunately will not be back to this unit.

Destin Sterling Sands condo 701

Location was great. Close to good seafood restaurants, boat rentals. On arrival there was a fishy smell from the refrigerator and the ice maker did not work. The carpet in the twin bedroom was in dire need of replacement. Dirty and stained. Housekeeping had used a carpet fresher. It was so strong it stunk and gave me a headache. I texted Vacasa about the ice maker, washer, dryer not working and they apologized and told me someone would be there the next day. No update was sent so I assumed no one came. I’ve maker started working on its own. Texted them again and once again they apologized and told me they were going to contact the local manager and have someone come out. Next day no one came no update was text to me. At that point it is day 3 no clean towels. I went to call the lobby and of course the phone did not work. I called from my cell and talked to a nice lady who said they were never notified of any problems. She bought has fresh towels. I told her we never used the dishwasher because it also stank so not sure if it worked. Never connected to the Wi-Fi because the address was never found on my phone. The price I payed definitely did not match the condition of the condo or the service we did not get. Would not stay here again

Great location!

Our trip was 4 nights, with two adults taking 7 teenage boys. This place was perfect for our trip. Easy access to beach, plenty of restaurants within walking distance, as well as fun activities within walking distance or a short drive. I would recommend do an inventory of supplies and plan on going to grocery store to make sure you have enough dishwasher tablets and trash bags for your group. Would love to stay here again!

Unit needs a good renovation

Pros: Location. Right on the beach. Heated pool during spring break time. Cons: Unit was not very clean upon arrival. It looked as if it had not been dusted in over a month, Big disappointment with the showers in master bedrooms. Lots of mold on the trim and caulking. AC vents are dirty. AC was not working and did not get fixed until I had to ask about it for 3 days. Not terrible for April, but would be a big deal in the summer. Overall: Nice location right on the beach, but I would not return to this unit until it was renovated, especially the bathrooms.

Needs some work

First off, let me say that the building location and amenities can’t be beat! Love Sterling Sands condo and we have been staying here annually since I got married there in 2000. That being said, I will not rent unit 701 again. First off, it’s on the east end of the building and features a view of the highway and the building next door. The 3rd bedroom lockout balcony overlooks the parking lot and a busy intersection and is not at all pleasant. The main balcony gulf front is nice, but turns and looks at the side of the building next door. The unit is old and dated and needs a complete remodel. The decor is not very beachy. The kitchen was adequately stocked with cooking supplies but just the basics. Love the proximity to The Back Porch for meals and the heated pool and hot tub are wonderful. Thanksgiving is a great time to visit because it’s off season and not at all crowded.

Sterling Sands is a great location. Condo 701 is nice, but needs updating. Carpet in the bedrooms is very worn as well as the rug in the great room area.

Condo was perfect size for 5 adults and 2 small children...2 cribs were already in bedroom upon our late arrival which was extremely helpful for early bedtime for young grandchildren. Location of condo was perfect for us as close to Walmart, gas stations, doughnuts, arcade and especially beach and pool.

Relaxing Spring Break

We absolutely LOVED our view and location for the local restaurants and shops. We did find it a bit much to have to pay the additional $20 per vehicle for parking, as well as the $5 per person for wristbands. After spending all that money for the place, we would’ve hoped that would’ve been included. Otherwise the staff was very good about cleaning the elevators on a daily basis and keeping the grounds clean. We would definitely come here again.

Pretty good

Great room set up with a great view. Accommodated two families with two children each just fine. I took one star away because the washer was filled with mold. This couldn't have been a new issue. Vacasa did everything in their power to help us resolve this issue.

Phenomenal

4.8 out of 5. The only thing that prevents a 5 star is that the condo had a few work in progress projects going. I was told this was due to other guests so I wouldn't fault the condo owners. Other than that and the wifi being hit or miss, it was a 5 star stay. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
