Description

Welcome to Sterling Sands 312, a breezy beachfront escape perched on the third floor of one of Destin’s most sought-after low-rise resorts. This freshly updated two-bedroom, two-bath condo sleeps up to six guests and delivers dazzling panoramic views of the Gulf from the moment you step inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open to a private balcony where you can soak in sunrise coffees, sunset cocktails, and the rhythmic lull of rolling waves. The vibrant emerald waters and soft white sands feel like your own backyard—and they practically are.

Inside, coastal comfort meets modern flair. The open-concept living area is dressed in calming neutrals with pops of sea glass blue and anchored by a plush sleeper sofa facing a large Smart TV. Just steps away, the dining table invites shared meals and laughter, while the fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and all the tools you need to whip up anything from morning mimosas to a fresh catch dinner. A full-size washer and dryer is neatly tucked in the hallway closet, making longer stays a breeze.

The Primary suite is a serene retreat, offering a king-size bed with crisp white linens, an en-suite bath, and a flat-screen Smart TV. The guest bedroom includes a cozy queen bed, its own Smart TV, and easy access to a second full bath. Both bathrooms feature updated fixtures and a clean, spa-like ambiance—ideal for rinsing off the beach before heading into town.

Guests at Sterling Sands enjoy resort amenities just steps from their door. A beachfront lagoon pool, bubbling hot tub, and shaded picnic area provide plenty of options for downtime, while the 24-hour fitness center and private beach access keep both active and leisurely beachgoers happy. From your balcony, it’s less than a 2-minute walk down the private boardwalk to sink your toes into the sand.

Located in the heart of Destin, this condo puts you within easy reach of local favorites like The Track, Big Kahuna’s Water & Adventure Park, and the bustling Destin Harbor Boardwalk. Whether you're craving fresh seafood, souvenir shopping, or a dolphin cruise at sunset, everything is just minutes away.

Sterling Sands 312—affectionately known as “Sandy Cove”—invites you to kick back, soak up the sun, and make unforgettable memories along the Gulf.
