Our tv wouldn’t connect to the internet. We couldn’t hardly watch tv. They only gave us 3 rolls of toilet paper for 3 adults. Our floors were not clean. Outlets that didn’t work in the bedrooms.

We had the pleasure of staying at Lucia 1204 and absolutely loved this cute little condo! Even though it’s tucked toward the back, the view is still surprisingly great — we enjoyed peaceful mornings and evenings soaking it in. The condo feels so cozy and homey, like a warm hug the moment you walk in. It’s thoughtfully set up, clean, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach.Communication with the host was easy and responsive, which made our stay even smoother. We truly felt at home the entire time and would definitely book this condo again on our next trip to Destin. If you’re looking for a charming, comfortable place that feels personal rather than just another rental, Lucia 1204 is a gem!

We have always enjoyed this particular property and we would stay here again. Unfortunately, the washer was broken (no spin cycle) and the hot water in the kitchen sink wasn’t available. The view is beautiful and the condo itself is spacious are nicely kept.

This place was a great value for the price paid. Beach front property, centrally located, absolutely amazing pool, always enough table/chairs at pool area, parking space included in price, clean condo, two rooms/two bathrooms, 12 floors up with both bedrooms and living room having floor to ceiling windows with doors opening to patio. View of partial ocean and city. I have only one complaint and it has nothing to do with the condo itself. I booked through VRBO but this property is managed by Emerald Coast Vacation Rentals. I was sent a completely separate contract from this company to review AFTER I had booked and AFTER my credit card had been run. This contract completely insulates them from any and all things that could go wrong but has zero protections for the person renting if anything goes wrong. I read this contract and felt really worried but ultimately decided to move forward with the rental. For my family, the decision paid off and we had a great time but this is the first time I’ve come across other rental companies using Vrbo and I wasn’t expecting this because it would seem that Vrbo collects their fee and then signs off on responsibility for managing the relationship between the renter and the owner.

Thank you for reviewing St. Lucia 1204 at Silver Shells. Glad you enjoyed the beachfront location, pool, views, parking, and that the condo met your needs. I’m sorry the post-booking rental agreement caused worry — we send a standard agreement after booking to confirm reservation details, policies, and responsibilities; it’s meant to clarify expectations rather than remove guest protections. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our operations team and the owner. Thank you again — we’re glad your family had a great time.
