Map & Owner's Profile
St. Maarten Beachfront Lanai
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose St. Maarten
With the advantage of having spent considerable time in the Destin area over many years we recognize certain areas and properties that have exceptional advantages. The Silver Shells beach is where Don swam many times before Silver Shells was built. Our love for this beach, next door to Henderson State Park, had already prompted us to reserve units in St Croix. St Maarten was to have only two studio units so we reserved Unit 205. Since it is on the lobby level the ceilings of the unit are very high giving the unit a more spacious feel. Also being on the lobby level makes it a walk out unit to the lanai deck. St Maarten is the closest building to the beach. Silver Shells has become the Premier Resort in Destin and this unit is fantastic for a couple’s, or small family’s getaway at this resort.
Harbor Docks, great restaurant on Destin Harbor, where the locals go for fresh fish.
Destin Commons is Northwest Florida’s premier outdoor lifestyle center. The 56 acre center is anchored by Bass Pro Shops, Belk and Rave Motion Pictures 14-screen stadium style movie theatre.
“World’s Luckiest Fishing Village” - Florida's largest fishing fleet: deep sea, off shore, bottom fishing. HarborWalk Village: great restaurants, nightlife, shopping, fireworks, outdoor festivals.
Located in Sandestin on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay features an array of boutiques, eateries, and nightlife. There are frequent outdoor festivals and special events for the entire family.
With more than 40 Water attractions and an Adventure Park, Big Kahuna’s offers something for every member of the family. You can’t do it all in just one day! Great for the kids and the kid in us all.
Owner's Map of St. Maarten
We LOVE Destin...we are Angie and Don Bennett and currently live north of Atlanta. We look forward to moving to Florida someday, but until then we visit whenever we can. Don lived in the Destin area in 1960 and we both vacationed in the area for many years until our first condo was reserved pre-construction in 1994. Since then our love of the area compelled us to invest in additional properties. Don is very active in the Destin area and is the founder of "Community Association Presidents of the Emerald Coast" (CAPEC), an organization striving to make the Destin area even better for property owners and their guests. Don is also a member of Citizens for Healthy Beaches working to make the world's best beach even better.

Great Studio Unit at Silver Shells!

Review Submitted: 10/14/11
We truly enjoyed our stay in this studio unit at Silver Shells! It was perfect for my husband and myself to get away to for a few days! We were very impressed with the unit and with the owner, Don, and would definitely rent from him again. The listing was an accurate description of this property and the pictures were true to the actual appearance. The pool was huge and it was also nice to have an assigned parking space in a covered garage! The Back Porch Restaurant is in easy walking distance of this condo and there are many other restaurants nearby. We especially enjoyed breakfast at Another Broken Egg and also at The Donut Hole! Destin Commons and Silver Sands Outlet Mall are great for shopping! If you need a larger unit, check out the owners other properties in the area! Can't wait to go back again!
Owner response:Thank you for staying with us and for providing information to assist other guests. We welcome you back for future visits.

Ive stayed in luxurious resorts all over the world and I have to say this place and area take some beating. As a female travelling by herself and sort of familiar with the area I was a little sceptical if the studio would live up to its amazing pictures....and it didnt disappoint, its so clean and fresh and quiet and very well equipped. After a comfy nights sleep I woke up and had my coffee on the terrace outside, its so peaceful and tranquil here! I didnt want to leave! The pool and the gorgeous beach are literally a stones throw away and easily accesssible. Don was a real gentleman to liase with, even at a fairly late time in the evening as I had arrived a little later than planned, sorry Don. My emails were responded to very promptly and everything went very smoothly, especially as I had to do it all online. I would highly recommend the studio to anyone but especially ladies like myself who want to feel safe,secure and no stress/hassle to enjoy a relaxing stay by the beach without feeling intimidated. The locals are very friendly, helpful people and this just added to the pure enjoyment of my stay. I have already asked if Don rents out his studio on a longer term as I have a feeling I will be back very soon as I hope to work here in the US. My apologies if the studio isnt available when you want it.....you may have me to blame lol.

We've stayed at Silver Shells almost every year since it opened, however this year we were going without our children and didn't need to rent a 3 bedroom unit. This unit was perfect for the 2 of us. It was roomy and the bed was very comfy too. The unit was exactly as it was in the photos on line. Don is great to work with; returns calls & emails very quickly. We are use to being able to see the ocean from our room and since this unit was on level 2, the view was not as good. My only suggestion would be that they upgrade the coffee pot. We are big coffee drinkers and we had issues with the coffee pot for a couple of days.
Owner response:Thank you for being our guest and for the kind words. It is always a pleasure hearing from a guest that has enjoyed their stay in one of our units. This unit is great for a couple having been the honeymoon haven many times as well as serving as a romantic getaway for many couples. It also serves well for a couple with 1 or 2 children as it has a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa. This unit is the closest rental at Silver shells to the beach and also to the pool. There is so much to do at Silver Shells and in Destin and this unit is convenient to all of this. Sorry about the coffee pot. In mid season we don't know unless we are told, so thanks for letting us know. It has been replaced. Don

We vacationed in Destin this March. This studio room was perfect for my family. We are not much into hanging out in the room, so it was not a problem that it was a studio. The outdoor patio and chairs served as our between the beach and going out for dinner "rest period" and cocktail hour. Don was helpful with explaining the room and it's benefits. Overall, it was a great vacation! Thanks, Don!
