Overall great experience with this property other than trying to find someone to help us when we first arrived was impossible.

The location and views were perfect. The staff at Sterling Reef were very friendly. The condo was a bit dirty. If we walked on the floor in our bare feet, they were black with dirt. The shower curtain liners need to be replaced. There was a musty smell throughout the condo. The kitchen could use a few more pots and pans. Overall, we had a nice time, because the location was great but I don’t think we would stay here again.

Definitely would never stay there again or recommend it. The elevators were horrible. The Internet was nonexistent. The master bathroom had a moldy shower curtain and a broken toilet tissue holder. Overpriced.

It was great even with not having the twin bed in the second bedroom. It was suppose to be a queen and twin bed in the second room.

Good central location. Close to restaurants and shopping and the beach view is fantastic. Needs maintenance on things like towel racks and toilet paper hanger as both were about to fall from the wall. Since the attraction of the property is the beach , it would have been nice to have beach chairs and towels available since many people who would book the property would fly in from out of town. There is a metal frame on the floor under the master bed which is a hazzard. Overall, we were pleased with the property. Thanks.

The place it’s self wasn’t too bad. The location was amazing because it was on the beach. We came as a family, there were allot of people who weren’t following the rules. A lot of smoking on the balconies which clearly states isn’t allowed. Also people were throwing stuff at us in the pool while we were swimming with our children. There was plenty of pillows but not enough blankets. Some of the dishes were quite dirty. This is a place I wouldn’t come to again.

Stay was overall pleasant. Right in the heart so either direction we traveled there was something to see/do/eat/shop. Property Manager was very responsive - brought comforter for 2nd bedroom and replacement batteries for ceiling fan remote. Only 2 issues to complain about: 1. Only one elevator for 18 floors. Took forever to get back up to room. One day it was out of service and we had to walk up 11 flights of stairs (ground, 3 parking levels then our room in 8th floor). Very disappointing. The 2nd elevator was being repaired/rebuilt - that should help. Another suggestion is to add storage locker area on ground floor so people aren't hauling wagons full of supplies to and from room twice a day. 2. Doors and trim were being painted while there. Crew did great job of trying to stay out of people's way but one day we came back and our door was propped open and noone was around keeping an eye on things. We had a few thousand dollars worth of electronics (2 work laptops, printer, headphones, watches, airpods) that were in the room. Thankfully nothing was stolen but it was disappointing to not know our room was accessed and left open. Unit was clean and well appointed. We had a great time!

The property itself is great. Location is the best. The view is amazing. The condo itself was poor. Very dirty, hadn’t be thoroughly cleaned in some time. Baseboard, vents, photos all had thick dust. Bathroom had toothpaste on tub from previous tenant. Mattress covers had stains. Condo is beautiful, just needs to be cleaned. It is a non smoking facility, but my neighbors smoked cigarettes and pot and nothing was done despite multiple complaints.

Our stay was rather inconvenient on 1st day, although well aware iof 4 p.m check in, I have never stayed at an VRBO where the rental was set up remotely Because of this inconvenience your competitor was on-site and was kind enough to hold our luggage for six hours It would have been nice to communicate that then your customer would be more prepared Besides that inconvenience the stay was awesome, thanks to the owner care given to there property. Although I always clean up behind myself it was different to be left with so many cleaning rules, when we are paying a cleaning fee, however, we abliged

The condo and rooms were good, and really enjoyed the beach and pools. There were only two elevators for all 19 floors, and one of them was down for the entire week. It took 30-45 minutes to get on the elevator when leaving the beach, and stairs were not an option with a cooler and beach gear.

I truly enjoyed my experience at this property. The condo was amazing. The only con I would have is the elevators are extremely slow. After the first day we jumped on the first available elevator whether it was going up or down. But overall my stay was amazing. My overall goal was to relax and I did. Love the mirror in the kitchen. It’s great for selfies. I have stayed at this property several times and I will continue to do so.

This place did not meet our expectations, it was stinking like the septic pipe has burst, every time the condo above us used water, our bathroom started making loud sounds- kept us up at night. We checked out one night early as the kitchen sink leaked two nights ago and we ended up cleaning it ourselves. Worst part is we were not refunded anything…. Stay away from this condo

The condo itself so was nice! Very nice views. Now the amenities on the other hand had/ was a constant problems the 2 elevator never worked walking 8 flights of steps wasn’t ideal daily. Also wish he had none ahead of time that the building had construction going on. Parking was a hassle seeings how they had parking levels blocked off due to construction. Also The amenities stated there was a hot tub on sight which there was none. (Very disappointing)

Stayed in June 2020 with my bf and my sister and her bf. The furniture was all very comfortable. Any station you could think of was on the TV. The balcony furniture was really nice and super comfy. We spent a lot of time out there. The Bedroom set up is really like having two masters. The rooms are very separated which was nice for our group. The beach is beautiful and the pool was really nice too. There was a monitor right by the pool gate making sure that everyone going to the pool or the beach was with the condo. In your packet by the front door are wristbands to use while on the property (don’t pull it too tight) and parking passes. We got a notice on our car right away so put your pass on ASAP. We didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen was really lovely, I loved the style of the condo. Extra towels were under the sink. The 2nd bathroom was really spacious. Great location, we walked over to the scooter place across the street and you can buy sno cones, daiquiris and snacks there, we rented a golf cart for the day. You aren’t suppost to park them in the garage but we only had one vehicle so we put our 2nd tag on it and parked it next to our vehicle and they never left a notice. We wanted to parasail and they have that option and jet skiing right on the beach in front of the condo but you MUST sign up early to get a spot to parasail. If you go around noon (like we did) it’s a 3-4 hour wait. Great stay and I slept well.
