Exceptional Condo    Mar 25, 2023

review star

Bob is an excellent host who goes above and beyond. Great communication from start to finish. His Condo is EXACTLY as in the pictures. The living space is actually much larger than you would expect. We had zero issues with anything while we were there over spring break. The resort itself is quiet, clean and very secure. We would not hesitate to book this condo in the future! Highly recommend

Great Condo    Dec 12, 2020

review star

The condo was perfect and very beautiful inside and out. We stayed at this condo for 2 weeks on December 2020 through January 2021 and could not of asked for such a nicer place. Views were beautiful and awesome sunrises every morning. The owners were awesome as well they never miss lead you on anything. They were very true and spot on by representing their lovey condo. Beach was close and great. We really had a great family vacation here and will make sure to let all our families and friends know that this is the place to rent and go to. Thanks to the Buehner family for making our vacation a nice and memorable one. I would recommend this condo unit #412 at Sterling Shores to everyone. Thanks again. ?? ??????????.

Great Stay    Dec 28, 2019

review star

Our family chose to spend Dec. 28-Jan.4 in Destin to unwind and reconnect. Both goals were met as we enjoyed our stay at Sterling Shores Unit #412. The owner was gracious about giving specific instructions about the condo and the surrounding area. Thank you Bob! The condo was fabulous and its proximity to the beach was wonderful. All six of us found the quiet, slower pace inviting to read at the pool, walk the sandy beach, and enjoy the lovely boardwalk area. We all felt the condo provided plenty of space for the family and helped create memories that will last a life time. Date of arrival - December 28, 2019

Enjoyed our week stay. Condo was in great shape - owner was super friendly and aslo accommodating to early arrival when possible. Appliances and Electronics were upper level quality - condo was well outfitted with all basics needed to cook. Washer and dryer were good quality and high capacity. Great location - Back Porch restaurant right out back gate. Nice pools on property. Smaller pool was well heated even in November. Private beach access. Parking was top notch location in building. Surrounding area convenient to all grocery and shopping.

We're looking forward to hopefully coming back this year! We wouldn't stay anywhere else! I'd highly, highly recommend this for your vacation stay!

We have stayed in Sterling Shores a few times but this was our favorite condo hands down. The interior and furnishings were great! I love how everyone had a place to sit in the living room. Many times you have a 3 bedroom condo but not everyone can fit in the living room to watch TV. Not the case here! Everyone has plenty of room. All of the rooms are very spacious! The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a night in and cook fresh seafood. Bob was great to work with! We love Sterling Shores and we loved this unit!Published Jun 11, 2018

We stayed in this condo for Fall break 2018 (10/13-10/20). Bob is the best owner I have encountered in the last 3 years of vacationing in the Panhandle. He is great to communicate with and his condo is exactly as the pictures portray. Very beautiful, spacious and clean condo looking over the beautiful pool and can still see the dolphins as well. We also had the use of his private parking spot in the garage. The walk to the beach is easy and the Back Porch restaurant is minutes away as well. Loved every minute of this vacation. Will definitely book this condo again. Thanks Bob. You are a class act!!

Exactly as described. Perfect location, condo was beautiful & spacious, great views. Convenient location to beach, grocery & other stores. Only complaint is construction was underway on main road to condo during our stay and traffic was really congested at times besides that everything was great. Highly recommend. Bob (renter) was very helpful and resonded quickly to your messages. Will definately be back!
