The location and view were stunning! We really enjoyed the huge balcony! The condo was spacious & the layout was perfect for little ones. Two master bedrooms were a definite plus! The pool area was amazing and beach access was very easy. There is only 1 dedicated parking slip & we had difficulty parking in the overflow with the 2nd vehicle a few times. The walls were very scratched up & it is obvious the condo has been well loved. It had not been well cleaned but nothing we couldn't take care of ourselves (ie food under coffee table, face pad & hair in bathroom floor). Overall, it was a lovely vacation for our family that we will remember forever!

Enjoyed Destin with the Family at Silver Shells

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a great time at this property. It's a great location with a fabulous view. The photos were very accurate and the condo was a good size and fit us perfectly. The property and beach was well maintained and clean. I would highly recommend the property to anyone.If there is one piece of feedback it's that the curtains in the master bedroom did not block light very well, so as soon as it got light out it was time to get up.

Great condo. Really enjoyed our stay. Great space. Would have liked to see bath mats in bathrooms and more towels. Also felt like security guards are overly aggressive about asking for arms bands. Would definitely stay here again. My family really enjoyed staying there!

Beautiful Beach Rental

Condo is beautifully decorated and plenty of room for everyone!! Conveniently located to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Great view of the beach (loved watching the sunrises) and the pool. The only thing I could recommend is to have a few extra blankets for the beds. It was chilly a couple of nights and the blankets on the beds are thin for the warmer months. Otherwise we had an amazing time and would definitely rent again!!

Excellent week!

Beautifully newly remodeled condo! Excellent location! Friendly staff and great service. Our only complaint was that the floors didn’t seem to have been cleaned because the baby’s knees were getting dirty from crawling around. Other than that, very pleased!

Great Condo

Everything in this condo is exactly like what you see in the pictures. Perfect Gulf views and Bay views. We loved our time here! There are only a couple of things that would have made our stay better: washer doesn’t spin water out and dryer took forever to dry clothes. The gulf view bedroom mattress is very firm compared to the other beds. The rug in the living room needs cleaned, our crawling grand baby had some dirty hands and knees. An Insta Pot/Crockpot would be a great addition to the well stocked kitchen. Overall, great place to stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is in a great location although it was very dirty when we arrived. There were dirty underwear laying on the floor beside the dryer and the wall, old food and crumbs on and in the cracks on the couch and toys left behind the tub on the floor. Also the door from the master bedroom didn’t work and we were only give two wash rags per bathroom causing us to have to wash towels pretty much everyday until I went and bought more. I love the resort but can’t say I would stay in this unit again.
