Sterling Shores 219A

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Sterling Shores is under renovation for a beautification project in which they are working on all balconies and walkways to the condos. Due to this beautification process, one pool closest to the building may close in November very briefly. No other amenities will be affected. Renovations are currently in progress Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The renovation is set to be finished by 2/25/2026. If bad weather interferes with the beautification process, renovations could continue into March. If there are any updates, I will let you know. We have blocked down the units that are primarily affected by this construction. June-Labor Day is painting the exterior and should not cause much of a disturbance. After Labor Day, you may experience floor grinding noise and dust. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Baby they changed the gate code on us on day 2! everybody was waiting in a line to get in the building nobody’s gate code worked so we had to wait 25 mins outside intel we got somebody’s attention. The beach access is only for certain hours and they will lock you out in the dark after 10pm if you are not inside the gates. Also on our last day the building caught on fire. also construction is going on they let you know in the description when booking the room but what they don’t tell you is, you will have somebody on the outside of your balcony the whole day literally only a door separating you. We also booked for late checkout paid extra money for that. There was no such thing as late. Check out. They changed the code at regular time. So we were locked out our room 10am The only good thing about this place is the area and how clean the room was
