"This unit is incredibly spacious and clean. As a family of 6, we liked having a large walk-in master closet where we could store our suitcases and cut down on clutter. The views from the balcony are second to none. The property is beautiful, meticulously maintained, and secure. The beachfront is large and not crowded, even though we stayed during spring break. The pool is heated and the area around it is beautifully landscaped. The location is peaceful and we absolutely loved being close to St. Andrew’s State Park. We will definitely book here again!"

"This place was very comfortable and a nice home away from home. Only off thing was the bedrooms were warm. The main area was nice and cool but the bedrooms were so warm my son and daughter in law slept on the couch to stay cool. Now we were here in August and it was EXTREMELY hot outside so we chalked it up to that. At first it is going to seem like you don’t need your bracelets but you do! Take them with you even if you go to the beach because if you want to stop at the pool on your way up they will ask to see your bracelet. Very friendly on site staff/maintenance. We did not need them for anything but they are there, visible, and very friendly. There is a gas station within walking distance. Barracudas is right across the street. Outlaw BBQ is within walking distance. Bring extra toilet paper, garbage bags, coffee filters, dishwashing tablets, and laundry pods. Walmart is a 15-20 minute drive. Publix is an 8-10 minute drive. Overall a great place to stay."

"We enjoyed our stay at Sterling Beach Condos. We had 8 in our party and it was perfect for us. We felt right at home. It was a clean & comfortable setting. The view was beautiful. I would most definitely stay there again.
The only thing I would suggest is that you make your beach access wheelchair accessible."

Han, Thank you for providing feedback regarding your stay. We’re sorry if the beach access codes were not accurate. They are reset by the HOA at certain intervals and it takes a some time to get our guests the updated code. We hope you enjoyed some time on our beautiful beaches and had a safe trip home. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

"Great beach and heated pool. - The unit was spectacular with great views of beach and ocean. The unit was stocked really well with all your kitchen needs to cook and eat.
We stayed two months so if your lucky enough not hear any construction in another unit it will be even better experience. Unfortunately the contruction was on and off the entire stay. If you also get lucky without the owners above or below making noise the entire stay will be even better. Lucky the owners below were only there about 4 days with there kids slamming the patio door non stop shaking our unit. The owners above roll something on wheels across the floor once every night past ten. They also cause a rumble sound once a night like an air plane flying above. The noise was directly above but can't really say what unit.
We had a few issues with the unit but called property management and fixed the issues very quickly the same day.
Overall the experience was great. I went down to relax from recovering from cancer but didnt work out as planned. So if it wasn't for the construction in one of the units would have been amazing."

"Matches Photos & Description - Ocean view, size, pool & hot tub, short walk to beach, large towel rack by door.
Minor items: No sheets for the pull out couch bed, burnt out lightbulb over cooking range, had to press entry door extremely hard to get it to latch and lock."

"Best vacation we have had 🙂 - This condo was exactly what we needed. It had so much space. Everything was clean. We had all the supplies we needed. My favorite thing was sitting out on the balcony and enjoying the ocean and pool view. We loved this property! The pool was so beautiful and well maintained.
... I'm not sure how this hasn't been mentioned on the reviews but this place had some spooky stuff going on at night.... we looked it up when we left and I guess it's common in panama city for people to experience paranormal activities. We had our kitchen cabinets slamming around at night. Running sounds through the halls and heard someone say " come here. "
In spite of this we just tried to ignore it and had no issues during the day and still loved the property."

"Great place to stay - Family of 5 stayed in April. The view from our balcony and master bedroom was amazing! The condo was clean. Furniture in the living room has seen better days. The couch and chair were very uncomfortable but the beds were very comfortable. Couple of things I wish I had known about the condo. Most places I've stayed so far through VRBO have been fully stocked in the kitchen (maybe I've just been lucky). This kitchen only had the basics so bring your favorite spices if you are planning to cook. They did provide a starter pack of dish soap/dish washer soap but no laundry detergent.
The grounds are kept spotless. The pool was heated and such a treat since the water was too cold to swim in April when we visited. There's a hot tub that was kept a bit too hot for us but was nice on a cool night.
The beach was quite, beautiful and clean. It is far away from the crowded area down the beach. The condo does not come with beach chairs but you can rent them if you like.
Favorite places to eat were Gypsea Crepes, and Sisters of the Sea. There are so many things to do in Panama city beach, minigolf, rent a boat, fishing, shopping, and tons of restaurants. Great place for families."
Stayed March 2022
"Beautiful view of endless ocean. Such a relaxing time. The area was quiet while being close to everything. There was so much room for everyone to have their own space to rest and relax. The water was a bit too cool for us this trip, but we are already looking forward to scheduling our next trip this summer."

"Family Vacation 2021 - This unit is very nice, even better than the pictures. I would recommend this unit to anyone. We had 5 adults, and 2 teenagers and we were very comfortable and not on top of each other. Im very picky about where I stay but this unit is great. This is our 2nd year staying at this resort, 1st year in this unit."

"Perfect unit - There is not one bad thing I can say about this property! The ease of parking, working elevators, and the spacious room was everything we could have asked for!"
Stayed April 2021
"Perfect Location - This place was better than I expected and was perfect for our family of 6. The bed in the master was super comfortable and the condo was well equipped with everything we needed. It was great to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The bathrooms were spacious, as were the main living area and kitchen. The unit was clean although I wish there would have been some bath mats or rugs around to wipe bare feet off. I'd recommend bringing your own. There were some boogie boards and beach chairs in the utility closet, which we weren't expecting, so that was a nice bonus. The location of the property was just past the 'spring breaker' crowd and the beaches were busy, but not crowded. The beach chairs/umbrellas down at the beach were $40/day, so kind of salty, but if you bring your own, the walk is not too far to lug your things down. The pool was huge and was heated and clean. The staff did a nice job of checking for wrist bands so no one could crash the pool if they weren't supposed to be there. I'd 100% stay here again."

"Wonderful Vacation - This rental is wonderful. There was plenty of room for everyone and the master suite was an oasis for mom and dad! The views of the ocean and the convenience of the pool can't be beat. The only thing we were slightly disappointed in was there wasn't a lot of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags or dishwasher tabs. I think there are normally leftovers from other travelers but due to COVID I'm sure they have to dispose of all that. Be sure to bring some extras if you have a family! Salt and Pepper too!"

"This property was very spacious. Much more than any other condo we have stayed in. It was super clean. Again probably one of the cleanest we have ever stayed in. My wife is handicap & in a wheel chair. We had no problem maneuvering her in this condo, that is first. My only complaint would be for more handicap van accessible parking spaces"
