Family Time!

We enjoyed a long weekend at the condo. We were at the perfect height for a Birds Eye view of the pelicans flying by. Enjoyed the beach, pool and condo. The nearby restaurant, The Back Porch, was easy to walk to and get some family meals quickly!

Beautiful day place to stay

This condo is absolutely beautiful. The views of the beach are amazing. Everything is very clean and there is a lot of space to stretch out. The kitchen is fully stocked and made making Thanksgiving dinner a breeze. I enjoyed spending the holiday here with my family. I’d love to come back here again.

Wonderful vacation!

The condo was exactly as described - beach is absolutely beautiful! It does seem as if you can’t use your own beach chairs and the rentals can be a bit pricey but it honestly makes for an uncluttered beach atmosphere which was very nice. I would definitely recommend this property

My husband and I took a quick getaway recently and stayed at this condominium! We were pleasantly surprised by the exquisite views and condition of the property! It was close to EVERYTHING Destin and with an elevator directly to our place made it extremely convenient. We will most definitely be back again and we cannot wait!

Wonderful Condo!

This was our first time in Destin and we could not have picked a better place to stay! The condo was beautiful and the gulf views were perfection! Everything from reserving, check-in, and check-out went as planned. The condo was comfortable and well stocked with everything (dishes, pans, utensils, etc.) we needed. We loved the parking garage space and easy access to the elevator and pool. We look forward to staying here again!

Family Trip 2023

We stayed at this resort last year and loved it, so we had to come a 2nd time. We booked this room so we would have a beach view. The condo is beautiful and very spacious. The kitchen is ready for anything you need and is so organized! We love Silver Shells for its location and amazing amenities. The beach bar and beach service really save the day if you don’t feel like going up to your room for food and drinks. The only downfall was the rip tides. Mother Nature did not want anyone in the water this week!

Not the best

The check in process is not one we are use to. I don’t think you should have to drive to get keys/return especially when everyone is tired and ready to go. The place was fine but could use some updates. But looks as pictured. We had one key that wouldn’t work and I messaged immediately and they stated they would bring a new one however after several messages each day no one ever brought one. Still whatever enjoying our trip. However our last day I was changing my infant on the floor and a giant and I mean giant cockroach came right passed us. Overall leaving grossed out. This place isn’t the worst but definitely not the best.

Beach with besties

3 couples on an end of the year beach getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at silver shells. The beds were comfy, great location and fun times were had! The only down fall to our stay was the condo seemed to have a musty smell. There was definitely a lot of moisture in the air as we plugged in the dehumidifier an emptied the water quite often. The other was the coffee pot didn’t work. There was a back up but it took about 45 min to make a full pot .Other than that the condo was perfect and we will definitely be back!

Great Destin vacation!

I’ve rented several condo’s from VRBO and this ranks as one of the best. Great location, clean, a different but great plus is the elevator only stops to an individual room rather than an entire floor. This provides for a both a secure and quiet stay as you can only get to your room/elevator with an individually assigned magnetic card. Check in was “slightly” different as you have to pick up the magnetic key at a different location that’s a few miles from the actual condo. If you arrive after 5:00 pm, ensure you know how to get the magnetic keys after hours from the off site office, as you cannot access the condo without it. Highly recommend this condo.

Great Condo

We LOVED this condo and would love to return. We had issues with Best Beach Getaways. They provided no check in or check out instructions and didn’t answer the phone when I called, twice. The condo itself was wonderful but we won’t book with Best Beach Getaways again. The condo had plenty of beach toys for my kiddos which was great. The view can’t be beat. The pool and hot tub were great, too. The condo was very clean and spacious. Updated bathrooms and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of plates/bowls/cooking utensils/pots/pans. We can’t wait to return!

Perfect

This condo and this resort is by far my favorite in Destin! BEAUTIFUL property. Amazing pool and hot tub, amazing views, condo was completely stocked with anything you could possibly need, everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom which was so nice. And the beach bar had a waitress that would serve you at your beach chair. You didn’t have to get up to get food or drink if you didn’t want to. Only complaint was you aren’t allowed to set up your own beach umbrella or tent but there are worse things! You could walk either to the right or left of the silver shells beach and do that if it was a must. I would definitely rent at the property and definitely rent this specific condo again. Loved it.

Beautiful condo!

The condo was perfectly located on the beach and super clean and well equipped. The views from the windows and balcony were spectacular. Our problem there, which was huge, was that the unit above us was being remodeled while we were there. The first day we endured pounding over our heads, which kept us from napping after our trip down there, and the second day there was deafening drilling or high pitched machines of some sort. It was no fault of the owners, but it seems like there should be better communication between owners and the building management. Very unfortunate for us. The communication with the owners's rep was great, but nothing was done to make amends. Also, the check in instructions sent to us said that we could have access to our unit upon arrival, but in fact we had to drive out to their office in order to get our keys after the fact. Very confusing.
