Sterling Sands

Sterling Sands is a Gulf-front condominium building on Highway 98 East in Destin, located along the beachfront corridor between the Destin Harbor area and Crystal Beach. The building sits directly on the beach, and many units look over the pool deck to the white sand and green water of the Gulf of Mexico.

Built in 1994, Sterling Sands stands eight stories and holds 110 condominiums, according to county and association records compiled by Emerald Coast Condo Map. Rentals include two-bedroom, two-bathroom units along with other layouts, each with a kitchen, washer and dryer, and a balcony. Elevators serve all floors, and covered parking is available.

Shared amenities include a free-form outdoor pool that is heated seasonally, a hot tub, a fitness room and barbecue grills, with a walkway out to the beach.

Sterling Sands is close to several popular family stops in Destin. The Track family fun park and The Back Porch seafood restaurant are within walking distance, Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park is a short drive west, and Destin Commons, with shopping, dining and a movie theater, is under three miles away. HarborWalk Village on the Destin Harbor is a short drive west for fishing charters and waterfront dining.

The building suits families and small groups who want a mid-rise condo right on the sand with a pool and hot tub steps from the beach. Its location near go-karts, arcades and casual seafood makes it an easy choice for families with kids, while couples will appreciate the Gulf views and walkable dining nearby.
