The area has seen better days. The complex and condo were well maintained and the beach access was great. Our condo was located on the 10th floor and had a very nice view. We could tell the owner took pride and care in their condo. The view from across the street was an eye sore with an abandoned amusement park... more

My husband and I rented a two bedroom, two bath condo at Sterling Reef in Panama City Beach for the family to have a five day, four night mini vacation. Our son, daughter-in-law and two small grandchildren had a wonderful time! We arrived earlier than anticipated by over two hours. We were greeted by "Mike" at the front desk, and... more

Just got back from Panama City Beach Florida. Stayed at Sterling Reef. Condo we stayed in was awesome but the security at the facility was not good. I thought that since the parking was under the building it would be gated but not. Anyone could just come on in the complex area. Even though the owner left us arm bands... more

Sterling Reef is a perfect place to get away and still have all the comforts of home. We are picky travelers and expect our vacation locations to be as nice, clean, safe and enjoyable as home, with of course all the fun and beauty of a beach vacation. We have found our place at Reef. I suggest you check out... more

We had an excellent stay at the Sterling Reef. The staff were helpful and attentive. The condo was huge and well kept. The complaints on this website about the elevators was ridiculous. We never had one problem. I decided to ignore the picky and whinny commnets on here and try it any way, I was not the least disappointed. The... more

Used Bookit.com to book -- those guys are always great. Check-in was fine, condo was nice -- can anything be bad that is right on the water? Was a bit surprised with a couple of things -- only a quarter roll of toliet paper left on the rolls in the bathrooms, and the bath in master was a handicap bathroom.... more

My family & I just returned from 4 day 3 night stay at Sterling Reef. Overall, it was okay. The customer service desk is wonderful! They had a very nice lady who worked it while we were there. Our check-in and check-out was smooth. The place was clean and so was the condo we stayed in. We stayed on the... more

We rented from VRBO.com and talked to the owner directly. He was extremely nice answered all my questions and even sent me more pictures of the unit. The condo itself was extremely nice and quiet, remember we stayed in September when the traffic is almost none. The pool was nice, no hot tub or kiddie pool, had a cascading waterfall.... more

Only 2 elevators for 18 floors of units. That's bad, but they only work half the time - that's worse. That's bad enough, but when they get stuck, people are trapped for HOURS at a time without air conditioning or adequate ventilation. The front desk has a very we don't care attitude. The Fire Department is called only when "maintenance"... more

This complex sits close to the road in Panama City and you hear the traffic all nite..the teenagers yelling from their cars..We got no sleep...I have a child who likes the pool...Their pool was awful. To watch him at the pool you have to stare at a huge concrete wall..you get no beach breeze and do not even feel like... more
