The last few visits to Sterling Shores gave us the feeling of being owned and managed by a large company.It use to feel warm and inviting with the comforts of home provided by the family who own the condo, now it feels like something is missing. The only person overseeing the needs inside the condo for the guest is probably the maid/cleaning service and it’s near impossible for her to inventory essential things that are needed but slowly become unaccounted for over time. Additional blankets, missing spatulas, towels, pillows, oven mitts, and beach stuff are no longer present. Low quality sheets and who knows how often these comforters are washed. These are noticeable things that individual owned properties seem to have plenty of. We have made many great memories at this property and believe it is a great place to stay, but we will be trying some other places that are individually owned , the way this property started.
