I’m not normally a reviewer, but felt I should share our experience. First off, Destin was gorgeous. The condo was very clean and the actual check in process was a breeze. However, I’m not sure we’d stay here again. I feel awful writing a semi-bad review, but I Want to be honest. I had a lot of trouble contacting the property owner prior to leaving for our trip, despite several attempts they never once emailed me back. I went through Vacasa and VRBO with no responses. They never returned my emails. The hot water in the condo was very short lived, and the kids weren’t able to enjoy the jacuzzi as the was would turn cold after about 2-3 minutes. Lastly one night we took the kids down for a swim about 8:30 but had to leave due to people smoking cigarettes AND MARIJUANA near the pool. We were very upset about this. We booked at Sterling Shores for its family reputation, and this clearly wasn’t that. That being said, the private beach access was amazing, and the staff we encountered could not have been nicer! Very clean resort and beach :)
