We loved the jetted tub. We had plenty of towels and washcloths. We had everything we needed to get started. Great location. Around a lot of restaurants, shopping, and of course the beach.

Our stay at the Silver Sh...

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

A terrific stay. Everything was stocked and clean beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean no complaints really. Every guest we met was super nice. Pools were awesome along with our complimentary umbrella & chair. Only thing was we ran into in I guess a few owners of the condos here & they weren’t that friendly. But didn’t see them much & we didn’t come here to be bffs with everyone. Would recommend

Amazing - was everthing and more than what I expected

The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Really enjoyed the balcony with the view and sounds of the ocean. It is not ocean front property but it does have ocean view to the side. The property amenities (beach access, main pool, hot tub, playground, etc.) were a close walk from the condo. This particular condo has access to a small private pool and hot tub for the building. This came in handy with our little toddler when the main pool had older kids. The property is close to several restaurants and an arcade that had bumper boats, go carts, and mini golf. There was also a little water park close by. This was a great experience and I look forward to coming back.
