We stayed in Mr.Scoto's 902 St. Lucia on the second week of May. The condo is lovely, the pool is awesome, the view is spectacular, and the convenience of so many restaurants and shopping was amazing. We will definitely be coming back to Mr.Scoto's 902. Sherree Pratt Murfreesboro, TN

This was my first trip to Destin and the Silver Shells resort made it a place I would want to go back to! The pool, location by the beach, work out room, proximity to restaurants and shopping all contributed to a very restful and relaxing week. Condo #902 was well situated (oceanview), tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities of home. We had several teenagers with us, who just loved everything about Destin, Silver Shells and (especially) Condo #902! Thanks for a truly wonderful week!

We stayed in Vince's condo - St. Lucia #902 - the first week of May and had a wonderful vacation. The interior was beautiful and the views of the Gulf from our room were fantastic. We liked being close to The Back Porch Restaurant and it was neat to see the airport and watch planes taking off. You're only steps away from the Gulf with a very nice view of the sunset each night. We hope to be back some day and highly recommend.

WOW! Loved it! Come to beach often, have had good places, some not so good, but this one was GREAT! So fully equipped with every need, great condition as well as beautiful. Lovely view from every room and balcony. I liked having some outside lighting from restaurant,with activity, etc from balcony at night, but still having a view of the ocean during the day. PERFECT! Wish I was there now. Love to eat at Ocean Club in Sandestin. Wonderful place.

St. Lucia # 902 is an incredible condo! Everything that you could possibly want or need is provided for you. The Scotto's have done a fantastic job of decorating their condo! Also, the cardio room is great...each piece of cardio equipment has its own built in TV set. Our vacation was perfect!!!

Unit 902 at the Silver Shells resort was so amazing! The Scottos have the condo furnished with everything we needed to enjoy ourselves and be comfortable away from home. We visited the 2nd week of May, and everything abour our stay was truly wonderful. The unit is clean, modern, and professionally decorated with a great view of the ocean. The resort is magnificent! The beach is amazing! And the condo was superb! We were super impressed, and we WILL be back!!

There are not enough adjectives to describe the trip to your condo and Destin! We had an early spring break and March is a great time to think about vacationing here. The virtual tour of this condo is good but the condo itself is more beautiful than ever imagined. You can rest assured that unit 902 at Silver Shells will be my home away from home from now on!I have been coming to Destin since 1994 and staying at another condo, but I can assure you that this is my best choice by far! Everywhere we went on the grounds, it was immaculate...people were extremely friendly and wanted to meet your needs. The Spa at Silver Shells is over the top also. My daughter and I had massages and I even splurged and had the foot reflectology treatment...WOW!! I strongly recommend this unit to you if you are planning on a beautiful, as well as restful, place to stay.

We visited Destin Thanksgiving week, 2005; our trip was wonderfully restful for us and I wish it could have been longer. We had a fabulous time in Destin at the Silver Sands. The condo is beautiful in every way, both inside and the views outside on the balcony. We loved the whirlpool tub and huge shower in the master bath. Thanksgiving week was a perfect time for us--the weather was a little cool a couple days and there were very few people swimming in the ocean, but the weather was nice for walking the beach and enjoying the area. We took quiet walks each day on the beach (so convenient not having to cross any streets). The "cold" days we needed a sweatshirt...so coming from Kansas, that doesn't count as cold....having said that, the early mornings are pretty brisk and I wore a jacket a couple mornings. We saw lots of sea birds and even dolphin one day. Very fun! One of our sons used the fitness room and was very impressed with the equipment. I loved having a washer and dryer in the condo. Some of the restaurants that are open for both lunch and dinner during the summer were only open for dinner at this time, but there were still plenty of options for lunch. All in all it was a wonderful vacation for us. We didn't expect to swim in the ocean, so we weren't disappointed at all. We would not hesitate to book the Scotto's condo again if we go to Destin, Vince has been very helpful and prompt in answering any questions. A fun thing at this time of year...the Christmas lights. We'd never seen a palm tree lined in lights. It is a sight to remember!

Our family spent a fabulous week in Destin during the month of October. This vacation was one of the best we have ever had. The accomdations at Silver Shells are wonderful. However, the condo was "over the top"! The detail that has gone into this unit rivals that of a luxury home. If you are looking for a vacation spot that offers convenience, a beautiful view, and an exquisite decor, then look no more. We highly recommend that you book this unit.

This was our first trip to Destin and we loved it. Silver Shells was wonderful. The resort was first class all the way. The grounds were well maintained and very clean. The Scotto's condo was absolutely beautiful, very tastefully decorated and had all of the amenities of home. It was so comfortable. Having two teenager girls with us, the floorplan worked well. We also liked the location. Everything was so easily accessible - restaurants, shopping, golf, etc. So much to do. We can't wait to go back for another visit. Thank you for giving us such a great place to stay!

St. Lucia at Silver Shells is beautiful and even has it's own pool/spa away from the big pool. The condo is awesome! It is so beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need. The view is great, you can see the pool, the beach and waves, see Hwy 98, see restaurants, see a little bit of everything. I would definately recommend this condo and hope to be back soon.

Hello, this was our 3rd time at Destin and the first to stay at a "NEW" condo.First of all let me tell you that it matters where you stay and who your renting from.Vince and Vicky Scotto are the best! Not only is their condo decorated beautful and in such great taste but they have been so gracious and have allowed us to relax knowing that once we were there that we would not be dissapointed! I loved the St. Lucia building because we were able to relax and had our own pool and it was so peaceful! I loved the "Old World Style" that it is decorated in and all the custom bedding (even in the kids room) everything flows through this nicely sized condo. We would stay again in a minute! Thanks to the Scotto's for a great place for our family!! We had a great time~

My stay at St. Lucia was very relaxing. The resort itself has many amenities. Condo #902 is outstanding! The decor is very beautiful and tasteful.The master bedroom suite is large with walk in closet and large bathroom. Each room has its own TV and you have a view of the gulf from each room. The kitchen is fully equipped with the necessities. I would highly recommend this condo for a pleasant stay at Silver Shells.

Our stay at the Silver Shells July 30-August 5, 2005 was very enjoyable. Saint Lucia was a "work in progress" while we were there; however, everyone went out of his/her way to lessen any inconveniences that presented themselves during our visit. We have visited Destin a number of times, but we have never had the opportunity to be the first guests in a new condo in a new building. The setup at Silver Shells is conducive to privacy for adults without children, yet very family oriented for those who choose to come and bring their children. #902 is beautifully and tastefully decorated as well as having all the amenities one could possibly have in his/her home. This owner has gone above and beyond to make sure that the visitor has a beautiful place to stay. If you are considering a trip to Destin, I would highly recommend Silver Shells. Betty Williams

Owner response: Thanks Betty for your kind words! Please note that the Saint Lucia building will be "officially' complete September 1.
