Our story

A family place, shared with yours

Unit 705 has been in our family for more than 26 years. Our parents lived at Sterling Sands to be close to their growing families, and they loved the beach and caring for the complex.

Today we manage, clean and maintain both units ourselves, as locals who’ve called Destin home for 30+ years. We love helping guests from booking to check-out, and seeing them again next year.

From our guests

Families keep coming back

“It truly is perfect for families! It really feels like a home away from home. It was spotless, spacious, and comfortable. We especially loved the amazing patio and ocean view, where we enjoyed several sunset dinners.”
Jay · Dothan, AL · August 2026
“We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. There was a basket of goodies along with a welcome sign with our name on it. The view from the balcony is incredible. We had an incredible week and will definitely be back!”
Ryan · Fort Mill, SC · July 2026
“This place exceeded every expectation we had. The view is amazing, the beds are comfy and there is plenty of space to relax. This place was exceptionally clean.”
