Great location. Has a large pool with a mushroom waterfall kids love. Another pool on the beach. Conveniently across the street from the Back Porch seafood restaurant and beach bar, as well as The Candy Factory, which now also serves breakfast. Great place to stay, especially if you want to split your time between the beach and pools.

The staff is very helpful. The pool is amazing and they have activities for children. The resort is close to everything and some places are even within walking distance. The rooms are nicely furnished with everything you need .

We have been staying here for the last 6 years and this will be the last. Our room was dirty and dusty. The sheets on the kids bed were white and appeared to be blood stained. Very gross! The large lagoon pool hasn't been heated in the last couple of years. There is a smaller heated pool that max occ... More

At the end of a busy vacation we decided to book 3 days by the beach. We chose Sterling Sands based on reviews. We booked through hotels.com at a great rate. The condo was on the very top floor. It was not in tip top condition. This meant we didn't have to worry all the time that we would mark... More

This vacation service only has three units in this several hundred unit complex! Their service was terrible! They did not send maintenance people to solve problems when they said they would and the unit was substandard!!! The worst room we have stayed at in several years! The manager of the reservation system was on vacation so they would not help... More

The pictures are not accurate! Our room was misrepresented and was nothing like the pictures! Outside the condo is fine, but inside very dated and falling apart! Furnishings were not clean, tvs outdated and the duck tape on the remote was the icing on the cake. Ugh

Pools are great, both the lagoon and beach side pools are clean and well kept. Staff Was helpful and knowledgable. Rooms are nice, plenty of room for our five person, 2 kids, 2 adults and an infant, family. Plenty of towels if you are willing to do laundry. The two bedroom condos have washer and dryer in room, very handy.... More
