Pending Sale: Sterling Sands 312

This charming 861-square-foot Sterling Sands Gulf-front condo at 1080 E. Highway 98 #312 in Destin is now pending. However, this lovely two-bedroom unit could still become your forever vacation dream home and rental investment property with a potential backup offer. The current owners have it represented by our highly acclaimed Ocean Reef Resorts property management team, with last year's gross annual rental income reaching $40,000, despite seven weeks of owner usage. The 2024 annual gross rental income stands at $48,000 year to date.

Sterling Sands is one of Destin's premier beachfront resorts, centrally located in the heart of this coastal paradise, offering easy access to delightful diversions. The condo features a balcony overlooking the resort's 300 linear feet of bright beach and the sparkling Gulf. These stunning views include a large lagoon-shaped swimming pool on a sugary dune, surrounded by a spacious multi-colored paverstone patio for sunning, with plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery. A bubbling hot tub and an attractive arbor flanked by twin palm trees lead to the private beach below. Additional amenities include a fitness center, which is perfect for staying active during your stay.

Sterling Sands 312's décor provides a spicy ambiance with rich Floridian flair. Light white tiled flooring and a wall of sliding glass doors that lead out to a furnished Gulf-front balcony enhance the spaciousness of the main open living area. Elegant coastal-styled furnishings include a dove gray couch that doubles as a queen-sized sleeper sofa, sea glass base lamps, and a matching armchair with an ottoman. The seating ensemble is positioned to showcase gorgeous Gulf views and a large flat-screen TV mounted on an attractive decorative glass-front cabinet for entertainment. A round hardwood table with a hand-painted beach scene and four Royal Blue cottage-styled chairs offer charmed dining. The bright white open kitchen has everything needed for culinary creations, with a large, richly mottled granite-topped entertainment bar providing additional seating for appetizers and drinks.

The bright primary bedroom features a sunny window, creamy white furnishings with a king-sized bed, and an ensuite bath with a tub/shower combination. The guest bedroom also has a sunny window, a queen-sized bed, and access to another bath with a tub/shower combination that serves as a convenient powder room off the hallway.

Sterling Sands' prime location places you minutes away from popular restaurants, grocery stores, liquor and wine outlets, and family amusements. The Track amusement park is directly across the street, featuring go-karts, bumper boats, a miniature golf course, and a game arcade. The condo is also close to Destin Commons, an enchanting retail village with flag-topped turrets, a clock tower, a classic fountain, and a patio with ever-changing geysers to the delight of children. Pedestrian-friendly palm-lined avenues with outdoor music sound systems meander past fine clothiers, fashion boutiques, shoe shops, jewelers, restaurants with casual bars, and a state-of-the-art AMC Multiplex Theater. Destin's HarborWalk Village, minutes away on the giant marina, offers great restaurants, lively bars, outdoor concerts, fun festivals, vibrant seasonal fireworks celebrations, pontoon boat rentals, sunset dinner cruises, fishing boat charters, dolphin sightseeing excursions, and even a treasure hunt adventure aboard a pirate ship with a rollicking crew.
