Sterling Sands is where you and the beach get reacquainted – and that takes time, so plan to spend as much of the week as possible lounging seaside. The eight-story mid-rise faces 300 feet of pristine, never-crowded oceanfront, with nothing but a pool and short boardwalk in between. Stake out your turf and flip front to back in even intervals to perfect that golden glow, all while keeping a watchful eye on your buried treasure hunters who can’t seem to get enough of the sand shovel. When you start getting questions about dinner, head back to your condo to take inventory of the fridge. Spacious vacation rentals include living/dining areas and full kitchens, plus inviting balconies overlooking the water. Outside, there’s a covered grill area, so you may decide to appoint a grill-master and fire up dinner al fresco. The fitness room will have to wait, because as soon as you get back from dinner, your crew will be grabbing towels and asking to go out to the hot tub – a wish easily granted. Later, speed up bedtime with promises of a trip to Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park for everyone who’s sawing logs by 9:00 PM.
