Fun set, Sunset!!    Oct 01, 2021

This property on the beach was superb! The description on the website was accurate to a tee. The property was very clean, the beds and furniture was very comfortable, and the location was excellent being close to the restaurants and a two minute walk to the beach! They had board games, novels to read, magazines, and Netflix to watch. Only thing I could critic is put King James bibles in the draws in the bedrooms, some of us still believe in reading the word of God on vacation!! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

This condo was absolutely beautiful and spacious. The ocean view and the nice deck were so nice. It was just a short walk to the beach. Would love to stay here again.

Amazing family vacation    Aug 01, 2021

review star


Overall we had a great time ! The condo is as pictured ! We honestly were amazed at how big it is ! Plenty of space for 5 adults and a two year old . There are beach toys in the closet and games and puzzles in the drawers in the dining area . There are also vhs and dvds in the drawers as well . They leave plenty of bath towels and wash clothes too ! We were disappointed in the two king beds . Extremely uncomfortable and lumpy . They definitely need replacing or a nice topper should help . The queen bed was nice and pretty comfortable . The two pools are nice and we enjoyed both of them ! The beach access is right across the street . Very easy to walk to even with a two year old ! The beach is private (there are ropes up) . The beach “chair guys” don’t allow anyone to set up where they aren’t supposed to . We tried one day to set up right on the other side of the rope and we weren’t allowed . We did rent chairs the last 2 days we were there . It was around $50 per day plus tax for 2 chairs and an umbrella. It is a small private beach area and if you don’t rent chairs you must set up behind the chair rentals . Also no tents only umbrellas are allowed . We had a great vacation and would definitely stay here again !

Everything was as expected or nicer. We had a slight hick up at check in but the property management company was not only available late pm (on a Saturday) but they were also very responsive, a rep was at our door within minutes, EXCELLENT customer service.

To the owners: we greatly appreciate you allowing our stay in your lovely condo. Sterling Shores was perfect for our family and we actually felt like we were at a resort, all of the amenities were perfect. Thank you!

To those looking to rent this property: we highly recommend and would hands down stay here again. Some of the perks worth mentioning: unit is located steps from the elevator which makes arrival & departure awesome. The unit is VERY well sound insulated, we were not disturbed by others coming/going at all (important with a Baby in tow!). We had everything we could have thought to need to make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. It was CLEAN!

Tips for others:

Coffee machine is a combo traditional brew or Pod, so bring your own filters & coffee or pods.

Dryer takes a long time to fully dry clothes, so dont start a load in the evening or you'll be up all night waiting for it to dry.

One of King bedrooms ( the one with the wet bar) can function like its own separate wing/ apartment, it has both an entrance door from the condo foyer AND the outside hallway. the only (drawback? or maybe for some it is a benefit..) is the condo foyer door for this space is very heavy (like an exterior door) & does not stay open on its own.

The closets in each bedroom are HUGE, we joked that we could have put a pack & play in there and made a mini bedroom for a baby ( doors OPEN for ventilation, of course!).

The large pool is not heated, the smaller one just outside of the gate next to the restaurant IS heated. We stayed in April, so it did make a difference for us.

The beach chair rental was $50/day for 2 chairs & an umbrella. Rate may change seasonally, but again, we stayed in April. If you do not wish to rent the chair/ umbrella you can still use that section of the beach, just behind the row(s) of chairs/ umbrellas (no pop up tents allowed, but bringing your own umbrella is OK).

The hall closet of the condo is FULL of beach toys, boogie boards, pool noodles, an umbrella & some beach chairs.

It is still COVID times, so the elevator has a sign posted that to use the elevator you must be masked to enter, about 75% of the time it seemed no one wore a mask/followed rules.
