About This Home

Welcome to Sterling Shores, your ultimate vacation getaway! Nestled in the heart of Destin, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront condo offers beach life at its best. No matter where you are in the open concept living, dining, and kitchen area, you'll take in breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and white sugar sands of the Emerald Coast. The floor to ceiling and wall to wall sliding glass doors flood the living room with natural light and open to a private balcony. You and your guests can savor coffee or cocktails outside or in from the multiple seating areas. Whether on the comfy couches, around the dining table, or at the stools of the bar-height countertop, everyone has a place to relax. In the kitchen, you'll find everything you need to enjoy your meals, whether you're dining in or having take out. The double sink, marble counter, and plentiful cabinet space will help you to feel right at home. Even more so, when you're done with a day on the beach or lounging by the pool, the stackable washer and dryer make laundry and towels a breeze to maintain.
Unit 506 provides plenty of comfort and rest for you and your guests. The primary bedroom boasts a king size bed and ensuite bath, and the secondary bedroom offers a queen bed with an adjacent bathroom. Because of this condo's location, both bedrooms have an exterior window, perfect for more light during the day and complete with blackout curtains for privacy and security at night.
You'll certainly enjoy the interior of this property, and you'll enjoy the outside even more. Sterling Shores has some of the best amenities of any complex in the area - a gorgeous zero-entry lagoon pool, communal gas grills, a well-equipped workout facility, and even a movie theatre! Have we mentioned that deeded beach access, beach-side pool, and clubhouse just across a small street? As if that isn't enough, this complex is located right next to the ever-popular Restaurant Row, less than a mile from go-cart park The Track and water-fun park Big Kahuna's, and less than 3.5 miles from the music, activities, restaurants, and water sports of Harborwalk Village.
No matter how you spend your days or nights, Unit 506 is the perfect vacation place for you and your family or for the potential of rental income of visiting Guests!
