Great family vacation with wonderful views

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very clean, well maintained, easy to check in and out. Compass was very responsive to all our questions. Great location with wonderful views. We could easily see Thursday night fireworks from our balcony. Plenty of space for our family. Thanks for a great vacation!

Amazing Condo

This facility was really great! The elevators are quick, not LONG waits. The view was amazing, bedrooms were just as seen. The living area/dining room is very spacious, something we look for as a big family. The only thing is the kitchen could use a few more items (spatulas, larger utensils there is enough table utensils for an army, crockpot or some type of slow cooker would be really nice). Overall awesome spot!

Great beach front property - unit needs some TLC

The property, pool and beach access are awesome! The unit needs a little tlc - shower curtains have mold, drawers in master fall out and are un usable, screen door was leaning in the window against patio furniture which was not in great shape, no cutting board in the kitchen, sleeper sofa was dirty with chips and coins in it. That being said we loved the size of the unit and the view was beautiful!

Spring Break Trip with Family

Our family of four chose to vacation in Destin for the kids’ Spring Break. We liked The Silver Shell complex. The location was wonderful, next to Henderson Beach State Park. The beach was never too crowded. I liked that the beach was private. The unit was very clean! The check in process was very smooth. All of the workers at the facility (front gate, beach/pool patrol, maintenance, etc.) were in tune with the guests and did well at their jobs! The condo was very spacious! The view from the balcony was amazing! The private elevator that opened up to our unit was wonderful!!! No long waits. The beach/pool was where we spent our time every day. Easy to go back and forth. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!

Destin get away

Great vacation in a beautiful condo! We enjoyed he well appointed accommodations! Great property! We will book again. One small thing is the view off the right of the balcony was unexpected. Really not that big of a deal to see that side road but folks may appreciate a preview of that view when booking. Again. It will not keep us from booking again. Just a suggestion. Thank you!!!

Mold

One of the bathrooms had mold on the ceiling that had been clearly there for quite a while and the shower curtain rod was broken. I let the property manager at the desk know about this and I hope it gets fixed if it wasn't for that I would have giving 5 Stars.

Hi, Tad! Thank you so much for the review and feedback. We discovered the problem and it has since been resolved and repaired by our maintenance team.

Will not go back to this place.

Condo was not very beachy. Furniture was heavy and out of date. Kitchen pots and pans were old and missing chopping board and salad bowl, had to use pot to make salad. Master bedroom was hot. A/C did not reach it. Shower in master was slippery, needs a rubber mat. I paid a lot of money for the unit and was very disappointed in it.

Clean and accommodating

The Condo was very nice. I loved that the elevator opens directly into the condo, which made it very easy loading and unloading luggage. No hallways outside the condo so that eliminated noise from carts and people running around. This is a great property with a private beach and super nice pool.

Excellent Stay

Silver Shells and this unit was great. We were really lucky with weather during spring break. The condo that we had was very large and in excellent condition. Facility overall was very clean. Pool was great. Beaches great. Great location. Convenient to all attractions. It is in the flight path for the Destin airport so there are a dozen or so small planes landing and taking off during the day but no big deal at all. Picking up the keys from Compass could not have been easier. Pick up took less than 10 minutes. Check out was equally easy via drop box since we left very early. Only negative (if you could call it that) was that chair/umbrella rental was pricey. We opted for our own chairs that we brought. We will come be back.
