This rental was an efficiency that was wonderful. From the pool to the beach we were impressed with it. We brought our own roku that connected easily to the internet and tv. The only minor discomfort was the king size fitted sheet that felt like it had small knots all over it. But the bed was awesome! We will remembder this location for next years beach escape! Thank you for letting stay within such luxury!

​spring break in Destin    Apr 19, 2023

review star

The apartment is well suited to a couple. The only complaint is it is next to a main exit that leads to the pool and the door on this exit does not have a working "closer" so it slams loudly and shakes the wall of the apartment. I recommend reporting this to the maintenance manager for immediate repair.

We had a great time at this VRBO. Everything was accurately listed and very clean when we arrived. The only thing I wish we knew before hand is that you cant a bring personal umbrella or shade, you must rent one of theirs ($35/day) if you plan to sit on the private beach. Not a huge deal to us, we simply walked to the edge or our private beach and had no issues. We will be back for sure! Our host was responsive with any questions we had.

​Pleasant Little Spot    Jun 29, 2022

review star

The overall stay at the condo was pretty good there were a few things that weren’t received but once I notified property manager, they got it squared away within 48 hours. I have stayed at this resort for several years but this was my first time at this unit and overall it was a pleasant. I was only disappointed in getting questioned by the property manager on how many people were staying at the condo. We were fully aware of occupancy and signed the agreement. My husband and I have a big family and we usually have 3 to 4 condos rented there. Our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren family rent the other condos. My husband is handicapped and so the kids would come over to carry our stuff or bring back and a few times my children sat on patio to have coffee or come pick us up. So it was a little disheartening when the property manager called and questioned and I had to give explanation because someone called her to tell her multiple people were there.

​Overall a Pleasant Stay    May 28, 2022

review star

The rental was a pleasant getaway. The condo was comfortable, it was easy to get adjusted and settle in. It was on the beach as advertised (past the gated pool area). They did have a good bit of the building and parking spots blocked off due to what looked like painters/maintenaners resurfacing the building. So, we couldn’t go out on the patio, and our view outside was hindered a little. But that’s outside of the owner’s control, and I don’t begrudge her for it. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our stay and will likely return if she’ll have us.

This was our first experience at Silver Shells. The property was gorgeous! From grounds to lobby, it was spotless. The condo was a perfect size for two. It had everything we needed and was beautifully furnished with high end details. It could not have been a better location to the pool and beach. Very convenient to load and unload from the car too. Bed was very comfortable. The pool wasn't too crowded which was nice. The beach in Destin is always amazing, so this time was no exception. There were plenty of chairs to rent and the bar was nice if you don't want to run back to the room. Being on the first floor you don't get the beautiful views, but I would still rate it a five! Patty was great to communicate with throughout which I appreciated. Will definitely stay again!

Silver Shells resort is the best in Destin. On the beach, huge swimming pool, beach bar- the resort is amazing. My husband and I booked this condo for a quick getaway and it did not disappoint. It’s located in the St Croix building, which is direct oceanfront and the closest building to the pool and beach. The condo was beautiful- professionally decorated and extremely clean. It was perfect for us. Patty is the owner and she was wonderful to work with- extremely communicative and always available. She was truly a gem. I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation!
