Perfect location

The property was perfectly designed to accommodate a lot of people during the busy season. We never felt it was uncomfortably crowded. The actual unit was the corner unit which was nice. The carpet was on its last leg and could use a little sprucing up. But what do you expect after a season of wet bathing suits! I would stay here again.

Hi, Steven! Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We will make sure to let our property managers know about the carpet, but thank you for being so understanding. We are thrilled you all had a great time with us. We can't wait to have you back--see you next time! Thank you for choosing Compass Resorts. Have a great day!

Disappointed

We have stayed at Silver Shells many times over the last 15 years and this year was a little disappointing. The beach services had gone up in price, some of our key fobs didn't work, (even after having them reset) and the beach area was over taken by people from the public beach next door. We love Destin and Silver Shells, so we hope these items will be corrected for our trip next year.
