Great Stay!

This condo was exactly what we needed. It was the perfect size for myself, my husband, and our son. It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed for a comfortable relaxing stay including very comfortable beds, a kitchen with everything we needed to cook, and perfect bathrooms. My absolute favorite part of our stay was relaxing on the nice size balcony, which offered a variety types of lounging chairs, and enjoying the amazing views & sounds of the emerald-green Gulf. We can't wait to come back and stay again!

Fantastic Stay- Beautiful Condo & Excellent Host!

Our stay in Destin was absolutely wonderful! The unit was beautiful, well-maintained and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with the owner was prompt and incredibly helpful—he went above and beyond to accommodate our changes and even offered flexibility with our checkout, which we truly appreciated.The smaller resort was a breath of fresh air, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The quick access to the beach was a lifesaver with the kids, making our beach days stress-free. The heated pool and hot tub were also well-maintained and never overcrowded, which was a huge plus.Overall, this was one of our best VRBO experiences, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Amazing

This was our first time to Destin and Ricks condo did not disappoint. Pictures do not do it justice. Perfect location with direct beach access. Property well kept and with amenities. For a family of 5 with small kids this was perfect. We were able to cook breakfast and enjoy beach with included beach services. Then come make lunch and head straight back to the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful with the clearest water and softest sand. We were also able to enjoy the pool and hot tub which were both also amazing. We hope to be back, this was definitely a family favorite vacation spot.

Rent at Sterling Sands, Destin, FL.

This condo could not have been better for our visit to Destin. From initial contact with the property owner through to the end of our stay, all information was quick, clear, complete and very friendly. The location was perfect; second floor right on the ocean with two sets of patio doors, with plenty of chairs and tables on the balcony was extra special. The entire unit was spotless, updated and had all the conveniences we are accustomed to. Access to the condo, the beach, the pool and the fitness center couldn’t be easier. The enhanced security measures are nice, but certainly didn’t feel the need - we were comfortable and at ease day and night. The location is excellent, close to all the local attractions and within walking distance to many. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Wonderful Family Vacation

We had the most wonderful stay! The condo was clean, bright, updated, and stocked with everything that we needed. Rick was excellent with communication, and we felt very welcomed and taken care of there. Our view…10/10! We watched dolphins every single morning. We loved that this unit was on the second floor and near the stairs with our young children. It was nice not having to wait for an elevator every single time we loved the property or went down to the pool/beach. Our family especially loved that the beach chairs were included! The kids had a blast in the pool and enjoyed shaved ice that was offered on the property. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you, Rick :)

Perfect family getaway

Rick was so accommodating in letting us get into the condo early. We have a 2 year old and it really helped getting a place for a nap (iykyk) He had everything you could need. We cooked a few days and didn’t lack any supplies. The beds were very comfortable and views great. Family friendly people were there as well. Extremely clean. Couldn’t recommend enough. The only thing we didn’t find were any beach towels so remember to bring tour own. If you have toddlers, I will say the waters here were a little more rough and didn’t have a calm sand bar like we’ve had in other condos. Not a negative to this listing just something to note if you have little ones.

The Absolute BEST!

Summarizing this vacay is going to be hard! We had the best time staying in Rick Elliott's condo at Sterling Sands! This is our 4th season coming to Destin in October, and it was our best! Rick's condo is absolute PERFECTION! It's spacious and beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean. The master bedroom is on the beach side of the condo and we were able to wake up, pull the curtains, and see the ocean first thing in the morning! The beds are really comfortable! I have a bad back and was able to sleep comfortably! Rick is a very attentive host. He checked in with us first thing to make sure we were happy with our accommodations. Having a covered parking spot was a nice plus as well! We have stayed at Sterling Sands for the last 3 seasons and have now found our favorite condo! We will book again with Rick!
