Sterling Sands is a condo property, so the units vary greatly, but the overall sentiment here is a bit somber. The condos are dated but do have all the necessary appliances. The pool is small, but the beach is private, white, and clean. Besides the (small) gym, there are no other amenities here -- but if you're looking to be close to Destin at a reasonable price, this might be a good choice.
