Spacious condo close to beach. The only reason I would stay in another location is to be directly on the beach.

Not as advertised.
You'd think it would be fairly easy to book a beach condo. Not so much. We spent hours trying to find units close enough to the beach with nice amenities and a descent price. We used HomeAway.com as they kept coming up in the search. We thought it would make it easier. Finally we decided on Sterling Shores on Destin Beach. It looked very comfortable with a great location. All photos showed nice 2 or more bedroom units with the masters all up front facing the ocean. It was a bit strange having to wait while the agency got confirmation from the condo owner before we could actually book and when we did book, it took us to Expedia all of a sudden to complete booking. When we arrived, the condo looked great and the location was perfect. We get to our unit and it was not at all as advertised. It was a small 2 bedroom with both small bedrooms at the very back with windows at the walkway. We checked in well after 5:00 so we couldn't do anything about it until morning and when we did get to speak to the front desk, the fact that we had booked through a second AND third party meant we had NO bargaining leverage to get a better unit even with our legitimate complaints of black mold in the bathrooms and furniture that was in sever degrees of disrepair. We will go a different route for any such bookings in the future.

Overpriced grimy condo room.
Room felt grimy and stained. Towels were old and quite used. Dirty floors and long hairs stuck to bathroom cabinet door. Not an ideal vacation experience.

Beautiful view, but....
Common areas were nice, but our 2 bedroom was very outdated and old. Flooring was peeling up, cabinets were so cheap and felt like they could fall off the wall. When you use a third party they give you just any room they have, so you don't have a chance to see it. The bedspreads were so faded and old and looked worn out.
