Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sterling Shores is under renovation for a beautification project in which they are working on all balconies and walkways to the condos. Due to this beautification process, one pool closest to the building may close in November very briefly. No other amenities will be affected. Renovations are currently in progress Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The renovation is set to be finished by 2/25/2026. If bad weather interferes with the beautification process, renovations could continue into March. If there are any updates, I will let you know. We have blocked down the units that are primarily affected by this construction. June-Labor Day is painting the exterior and should not cause much of a disturbance. After Labor Day, you may experience floor grinding noise and dust. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Beautiful ocean view. Great location.

The building where the condo is located is a bit run down but the condo itself is WOW! . We LOVE the decorations. It makes you feel like home the moment you step in. Everything seems so new and well kept. They even have a box full of beach equipment for you to use. There are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby. Would definitely book it again next time we are in Destin.

A fun family vacation in Destin

We enjoyed our stay at this location, our two kids loved their rooms too. The neutral colors and decor in the home set a good mood our beach vacation. The closeness and well paved access of the apartment to the beach was a plus for us, thank you for making our vacation most memorable and convenient to the local restaurants, we enjoyed dinner at Margaritaville plus a zip lining activity for the kiddos. We look forward to returning and hopefully find this property available, thank you from the z Okoth family 🏖

Perfect beachfront getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! The unit was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing family vacation.The views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking — we spent every morning enjoying coffee while watching the waves roll in. The location was perfect, walking distance to the beach, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and inviting. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning!

Property was great

The place was very clean and relaxing. Good parking and had everything we need within the home. I would certainly go back. The pool was awesome and so close to the beach. Construction during our stay was the only downside but we worked through it

Family Vacation

We stayed here last year and loved the condo and location so much we came again this year. The view is breathtaking, and the condo is exceptionally clean and beautiful. Parking is easy, secure and safe property, kitchen well equipped although we went out to dinner every night to the many restaurants that are close by. Property is kept up nicely, beach access right across the street. Hope to return again next year!

WE CANT WAIT TO COME BACK! WOW!

Pictures are spot on! The room is even better than advertised, WOW! Our family of four with two toddlers enjoyed every second of our beach get away. For our first family vacation this property put the icing on the cake! The kids loved the bunk beds and the open floor plan of the living room and kitchen. Us parents loved the luxurious master bedroom and bath; can’t beat waking up looking at the ocean! The balcony is huge and a great place for lunch and dinner. The property is at the top and remains very quiet - we never heard a neighbor. The stay features great accommodations that made it the best vacation ever! The beach is clean and the umbrella service is great! The kids side of the pool was perfect for our littles. Great ice cream just a 2 minute walk away. The Back Porch just across the street is YUMMY! Great for a lunch break reset with kids. 100/10 recommended! We can’t wait to come back!

Condo was nice but the resort needs work

The condo unit itself was very nice, the resort as a whole needs works. Elevators are broken, out of three only one was operating. Expect to spend the majority of your vacation waiting on an elevator or you hike up the stairs the penthouse. Even going down the stairs is a struggle when you have beach bags, toys, kids etc.

PH13 is as stunning…everything from the throw pillows to the giant shower was high end! My only “boo-hoo” would be discovering the dryer didn’t work…it turns on, it spins, but the clothes are still wet as they were when I pulled them from the washer. Oh-well, I’m sure it’s on the “needs fixed” list. I wasn’t going to let it ruin that stunning view!
