Step out onto your furnished balcony and watch the beach come alive as the sun rises over the Gulf of Mexico.

gorgeous view
This property was amazing. we loved the location--close to family activities and feet away from the beach. it was super clean and looked exactly like the online pictures. only complaint is the checkin time and not being able to use your own beach umbrellas. It would be nice to include beach chairs/umbrellas with the stay. other than that it was a wonderful trip and we will definitely be back. Would even love to rent the same unit,

The location and pool were the best I can say. The condo itself is in need of many repairs and updates. The balcony overlooking the beach was nice but difficult to see through the glass railing.

Great location
This condo is in a great location, gulf front and walking distance to the Back Porch restaurant, the Track, Big Kahunas. Beautiful views, larger balcony than other condos we've stayed in. Overall the condo was clean. The small things-light switches/plates, door knobs, etc could be cleaner. The master bed was comfy. The other beds, not as much. The pool was nice, as was the beach service. All Sterling Sands personnel were friendly and helpful. Vacasa is the rental managing company. They could communicate better with the actual property as there were some discrepancies. All were resolved by the HOA staff on site. It was a beautiful stay and we enjoyed it! We would stay at this location again.

Many issues with the management
Condo was clean and nice. Cabinet doors loose. Light shot in shower and kitchen while in shower contacted management. 5-6 total hours on the second day maintenance was in condo on second day. Maintenance stated it was wiring and needed to be fixed due to “water and electricity not good.” In addition they decided to change all lights over sinks in all bathrooms. He was insistent that he needed in my bathroom while I was getting ready for dinner. I felt rushed. When we returned from dinner at 7:00ish he told us it was done and there was a mess. There was dirt and Sheetrock all over our toothbrush, toiletries, and sink. They had no respect for our items at all. They left it dirty and who knows what all was on there. The floor had wires and dirt. Upon check-in they told us the pool was closed! Had I known that I’d went elsewhere. After the second day locked access that was close to the beach due to beached closed. Also there was no place to wash sand off once that was closed. Paint thinner and paint in the door which made my throat hurt. One chair had the rockers in the seat. Huge bug stuck to the ceiling dead! Had to be there a while in entry way. Condo and shower clean over all. Decent beds and couch. Roomy and great access to the beach. Beach quiet, clean, and beautiful. I will think twice before renting from Vacasa management property.

beautiful beach and property
The only problem we had was they were painting the building and it got all over our cars. The washed them once and we had to leave before we could get them washed and cleaned again. They did not do anything to keep our cars from getting paint on them.

Good location bad Condo
I’ve stayed at Sterling Sands multiple times and love the pool, location and proximity to the beach, but this condo was the worst I have ever stayed in. What kind of in general is clean but the rugs and couch were filthy, there was mold in the bathrooms and on the balcony and the kitchen was barely stocked.

Excellent beach facing property
Pros: Amazing experience. It is exactly what is shown in the pictures. The best thing about the property is one can view both sunset and sunrise from the balcony that opens to the beach. Cons: the place is for 4 adults. The 5th bed is little small for an adult. No place to sleep for 6th adult.

Good and bad
The property and condo were very nice. There was easy parking and not overly crowded. However, there is a major issue with the beach seating and chair availability. They didn’t allow personal chairs or umbrellas anywhere near the water and none of the front two rows of chairs were available any day during our stay. Inevitably, people with small children will find yourselves a good distance from the water and we ended up going to Henderson state park to avoid the hassle. It was quite disappointing to come so far for the beach and have such limited access and ability to use it.

Nice condo / Beds not comfortable !!! Great location!
Sterling Sands Condo #810 was nice . It was clean. Nice balcony. It was near elevator and that was convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful ! Our downside to the condo was that the beds were not comfortable !! The master bed was just ok, but the rest of the beds were NOT Comfortable at all (including sleeper sofa) !! Some of the appliances could use an update, (dishwasher, washer & dryer). Also the blow dryer is located in master bath only. No blow dryer in other bathroom (just a fyi ) Internet connection not good in condo!
