Gorgeous Beachfrnt directly on Gulf of Mexico, warm pool & sauna, Flash Sale Now

This condo has an ultra-private lanai overlooking our private beach and Gulf of Mexico--each photo has been taken from the actual unit you'd be renting, #408. This beachfront is one of the nicest, widest fine-sand beaches in all of Destin. The nightly rate includes free daily reserved beach chair/umbrella service March 1-Oct. 31, 2025 only (management is eliminating prepaid beach service as of 1/1/26 when there will be daily/weekly rates only, paid by each guest.) The nightly rate will always include all occupancy, amenity usage and parking fees (all paid by the owner and included in your nightly rate--no hidden fees upon arrival). Sterling Sands is not only directly on the Gulf of Mexico, we are known for our beautiful, heated pool.

King bed in primary bedroom with bunk beds in second bedroom, all ceramic tile and carpeting in the bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with granite counter-tops and stainless steel appliances and full bathrooms with tubs, a Jacuzzi & granite sink-tops.

There are 3 very large flat screen TV's, and the LR has a sleeper couch that has an awesome thick mattress when pulled out (it's a Cozy Mattress®), which allows for comfortable sleeping quarters for up to 4 adults or children in total. Open-style breezeway halls and 2 elevators and stairs if you prefer.

Watch dolphins on the comfortable, easy to move around lanai furniture (can even put portable table on Lanai for breakfast!) from this beautiful 4th floor perspective-not too high so you can't see the beach, not too low so people can see in. There is a fitness center and the pool is heated to 87 degrees year-round. You can have family gatherings using the gas grills provided by the building in the gazebo or just enjoy the widest, powder-soft sand beach Destin has to offer.

When you compare our 380 feet of beach and 110 unit building to others, you'll see you get much more beach for your own quiet enjoyment than anywhere else.

Absolutely no pets of any size, sorry. Also, "no emotional support animals". With advanced documentation we happily accept "service dogs", which I can clear with management ahead of time.

I've arranged for professional cleaning by a local company and please keep in mind this is a private condo building and not a hotel---there is no room service, additional towels, or bell-hop.

Prices and minimum nights' stay requirements are subject to change for future dates, prior to a firm reservation. Once your reservation is in place, nothing changes and your reservation is secure. If you have specific dates in mind please don't hesitate to use the "instant book" feature on this website so your dates don't get shut out.

Max Occupancy: 4 Humans (meaning, 4 adults OR children/babies, as per fire code) Please note: There is absolutely no way to add any more guests than 4 humans in total; there is a physical check-in process, security, and resort wristbands required (all included in the room rate) and you will forfeit your payments if you attempt to have more than 4 guests.

Parking is off street, free and more than ample with 240 spaces!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Don't miss out on the many recreational opportunities, including a water park, an outdoor pool, and a spa tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Beautiful Getaway!
So beautiful! I traveled with my mom and husband for a birthday getaway. It’s my first time using Vrbo and was a bit nervous but everything was way better than expected, comfortable, and very clean. Liz was very attentive and responded promptly to any question I had. I especially loved how I did not need to worry about any “hidden fees”. My vacation started as soon as I arrived, no hassle. The view to the beach was beautiful. We were also able to see both, sunrise and sunset, from the lanai which was a good surprise. I will definitely be back, thank you Liz for everything.

Very nice condo
The condo and entire property was just as nice as the listing indicated. Liz was a wonderful host and very responsive. One suggestion would be to invest in some blackout blinds in the kid’s bedroom similar to what is in the master bedroom. There was so much light coming in at night.

Very Nice!!!
Out of all the places I have stayed in this area, this place was definitely toward the top of my list. Communication with the owner was on point as she provided clear and concise instructions as well as recommendations. Liz also immediately responded to any questions or concerns about gate codes and whatnot. Check in/out was super easy. The grounds and condo are immaculate. You can tell they take pride in making sure they are beautiful, clean and trash free. The condo was super clean, furnishings are beautiful and comfortable and the view is amazing. The only recommendations I have for improvements are to assess stays according to length and provide more toilet tissue, paper towels, garbage bags, bath towels, kitchen towels (there were none), dish soap and laundry soap. Other than that, our stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend!!!

First time to Destin and we enjoyed it! Liz's condo looked exactly like it did in the photos. Our kids enjoyed the bunk beds and we loved having two bedrooms. The in-unit washer and dryer was a huge lifesaver. Make sure to bring trash bags, kitchen towels, wash rags, etc.

Liz's place was spectacular for our short getaway! She had everything prepared so our check-in was completely seamless. The building and facilities were great. We used the on-site gas grills multiple times and they were clean and well-maintained. The pool was a dream and the beach service was second to none! As others have noted, some accommodations are a bit dated, but everything was clean. The two large TVs were quite old and seemed to have a color distortion but they do not change my five star rating! I would stay here again.

Perfect location and great view
Our family of four spent a spring break in early April at the property. Everything was exactly as pictured. The balcony had a gorgeous view and a lot of privacy. The heated pool was awesome. The private beach was clean and not overcrowded like the nearby beaches (by the high rise buildings). Liz is a great host. She makes sure her guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay. The communication was excellent. Liz took care of our registrations so the pool wristbands were available upon arrival. The two beach chairs and an umbrella were also included in the package. It was very nice to have our own reserved spot every morning. The location was great. Walking distance to the restaurant right on the beach and the go cart place across the street. Not too far from the Destin Harbor village. Out of all the places we have initially considered it was definitely the best choice within our budget. We had a great time!
