Our stay was excellent. Unit is nice and clean. Only issue we had was not getting the master ceiling fan to work but there was a box fan so we used it, and the ice maker made ice but wouldn’t dispense it. Other than that great and we’d definitely stay there again!

Thank you for choosing Compass Resorts. Have a great day!
This unit was very roomy, clean and had comfortable beds with plenty of pillows and blankets. The kitchen had what we needed to cook but know ahead you only get starter toilet paper and paper towels. We had views of the ocean and the pool. Loved the convenience of the bar on the beach which was also close to pool!! Location is great many restaurants and shops very close. My only complaint is that if your going to close hot tub and pool at 10 then do just that, our adult children was told to get out of hot tub after 10 and they were quietly sitting in it talking but the next night there were several people in hot tub and pool that were loud, I could clearly hear them on 12th floor but yet they were never asked to leave and it was headed toweard midnight.

Beautiful property but will never work with Compass Rentals again
Firstly, the accommodations, the condo and the Silver Shells property are gorgeous and pristine. The condo was perfectly laid out so that everyone felt they had space. And the view was incredible, we saw dolphins every day.
What wasn't incredible was the way Compass handled our check-in process. Because of a flight issue, we missed our initial flight to Florida and weren't able to come until the next day. I let compass know that my father would still be arriving that night and to expect him. They asked for his name and that was it.
When my dad got there, he had no idea where to go, there was no one in the Compass Office, and no one answered the phone for over 30 minutes. Meanwhile, my dad is walking back in forth in a rain storm with 30mph winds just to find someone to help him. Finally the guard who operates the gate helped my dad.
When I asked Compass if there was a way we could stay in our condo an extra day since we missed a day, they curtly replied "no". When asked if there was another Compass property within Silver Shells we could move to, I was again met with a terse, "There's a three night minimum stay." From beginning to end, they were NOT there to help us. Even getting the wi-fi passcode took a 20 phone call.
Loved Destin, loved the condo and the location, but would purposely go out go my way to never work with Compass again.

Hi, Meredith!
Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. We will make sure to communicate these details to our Guest Service team regarding your experience. We apologize for the experience you had and will work to improve this for our guests.
Have a great day!
I booked this property for my family with young kids, wife, and parents. Communication all throughout the process was incredible, and the property was phenomenal. Beautiful view of the beach & overlooking the pool from the 12th floor. The semi-private elevator made it an incredible experience as well. Right in the heart of Destin near everything we wanted to do. We will most-likely book this spot again. Highly recommend!

Beautifully managed and landscaped property!
This is our third time visiting this property in a year. We love the large pool and well-appointed condos. 1201 St. Maarten was very comfortable with a large flat screen in every room. I particularly love the corner unit. The furniture in the common areas provided plenty of seating for all.
Having a complimentary beach/umbrella set-up was great. There are no extra chairs or beach toys in the unit so bring your own and set up on the end of the property .
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book again!

Great week
This place was much better than expected. The resort was nice but the semi private elevator made the place. I would have given it 5 stars if the cleaning service would have cleaned a little deeper before our arrival. The furnishing were OK, but could use a little updating, but nothing to keep me from staying again. Pool was great. Beach access was great. Parking and room access was great.

Great stay!
We have stayed at Silver Shells many times as a family and it is always the same, a great experience. We will return again for the white beaches, amenities, and convenience to surrounding attractions. This unit, 1201, was clean very well kept.
