First stay @ Sterling Sands was March of this year, and my wife and I rated it a "perfect 10". The second visit was probably an 8....... only complaints would be status of condo......not enough flatware or dishware without washing dishes daily and it absolutely should have bunk beds in second bedroom instead of thin, worn, double mattress with no springs. Also, there was inadequate storage space in second BR- layout could have been arranged better........Summer traffic was WAY-LOT worse than March's, but, hey, that can't be helped! All-in-all, the sugar-white sand & spectacular turquoise water of Destin covers the few downsides of this trip.......visitors at Sterling Sands got'ta visit The Back Porch. All it takes is an easy, pleasant walk on the beach, an hour+ wait and a few bucks for a great evening there- really good food & service........on balance, we're looking forward to Destin visit
