Highly rated 1 br condo in heart of Destin! NOW open for 2025 bookings!

Note from the owner: To protect your vacation investment (and ours), we do not rent outside of a rental platform and VRBO handles all payments. Thank you!

Make some beach memories with your family at this stylish place with a pool view. This one, bedroom, 1 bathroom condo on the 2nd floor at the desirable Sterling Shores is less than a 5 minute walk from the condo door to Destin's white sandy beach. The condo was just painted, all new appliances, with new furniture and amenities and professionally decorated in 2023.

This second floor unit is family friendly- no need to wait on the elevator if you don’t want to. Because we are a family listing, we have a strict rental age policy and require individuals age 25 or older to be present at all times.

Enjoy a resort feel with access to TWO pools! There is a large lagoon style pool at the condo building and a second beach front pool with a snack bar, bathrooms and beach access.

There is also a fitness center on the same floor as the unit!

The master suite features a king sized bed, closet, and smart tv.

The stylish living room has a sleeper sofa, comfy chairs and a large smart tv.

The balcony offers chaise lounges, chairs and tables to allow you to watch the sunset, enjoy the view of the lagoon pool, sight of the palm trees and listen to the ocean waves!

The kitchen is fully stocked. There are plenty of cooking supplies if you decide to eat in!

We also have a couple beach chairs available for use or you can rent chairs on the beach (for a fee). (Note that like other condos in Destin, personal chairs have to be set up behind the rented chairs.)

The unit includes a washer and dryer- no need to go to a common space to wash clothes.

Wifi is included in the unit. There will be towels and bedding for 4 included in the unit. We provide an initial supply of toiletries (except shampoo), soap, trash bags, etc for your stay!

We had a great time in Destin. This Vrbo has everything you could need. It’s everything that it says it is. It’s a short walk to the beach, the back porch is a fun place to go to and everything else is a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again.

As someone who grew up going to Destin, this is the perfect spot for a nice getaway! The location was perfect - getting to the beach was so easy and highly recommend doing the rental chairs and umbrellas. You are also right next to the Back Porch! This condo was so nice and big. we will absolutely be staying here again!

Very pleased with our stay! Walking distance to everything we needed. We didn’t rent a car and worked great. We used Uber to and from airport, groceries, and harbor board walk for an afternoon otherwise you get 2 choices of pools to swim at, restaurants, ice cream shops and the beach all within 1 minute walking distance! It was a perfect spot for our family.

This was our second time staying at Sterling Shores and we will most likely be staying again. Our kids absolutely loved the pool and snow cones at the little bar by the smaller pool. It's so conveinant to have the Back Porch right by you as well as the Candymaker. Would recomend to anyone! Love our beach stay--- clean , full equipped with anything you need, and great communication with the owners. <3

The property was beautiful! Our unit was beautiful. We even had some basics stocked in our panty so we didn’t have to buy everything. Our children loved the pool. We had friends staying at another place down the street (more expensive) and it didn’t compare to our place! Our host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. I would definitely recommend this listing!!

We have stayed at multiple beach houses/condos… This one takes the cake. Clean and just as nice as the pictures. A/C was cold and we had zero issues. All new appliances. Not to mention the water pressure 👌. Five stars all day. Will definitely be back

Condo was spacious for a one bedroom, one bath. Layout was nice with plenty of space between bedroom and living room with sleeper sofa. Bathroom was spacious with jetted tub/shower. Condo was very clean. Close to activities and restaurants. Short walk down the beach to Henderson State Park. Erin was a pleasure to work with and very responsive to messages. Overall 5 star rating and would definitely stay here again.

The original cleaning left something to be desired, but after washing some dirty dishes and silverware and cleaning myself, we enjoyed the condo for the week. The Sterling Shores property is well maintained. We did also have our go pro stolen on grounds and security and the front desk were zero help. They gave me the complete run around. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and the condo.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay this Christmas in Destin. After reviewing some of the available properties, we chose this property from the posted pictures. The condo was generously furnished with kitchen/bathroom supplies upon arrival. Some condos in the past have not been so generous. There was one very minor issue during our stay (electrical issue with garbage disposal), but the matter was resolved quickly. The check in and check out were seamless. If we get to Destin in the future, we will certainly check the availability for this condo first. Erin always responded to our emails before and during our stay.

I am a girl on a budget with a son in college. The beach is my happy place and I had family and friends staying near this condo location but that location was way out of my price range. This location provided everything I needed for the fraction of the cost. Spacious for a one bedroom, super clean and close enough to my family that I could walk down the beach and join them on the beach. Hostess was very available and helpful with a special request I had. The property was beautiful and secure. The only negative was it was not right on the beach but, I knew that going in. You can see the ocean from the balcony and the pool view was awesome especially, at night. Girl on a budget would probably stay here again.
