Mom and daughter spring break

Beautiful penthouse on the beach. Great heated pool and close to restaurants. Everything was clean and well kept. Key pick up and drop off were not convenient. The unit could have used a couple of necessities, like tissue and coffee filters. Housekeeping had wrong information about our stay and showed up repeatedly asking when we were going to leave when we had 2 more days left. It took several phone calls to straighten out, but everyone was courteous. The beach and property were beautiful and I would happily return!

Beautiful condo

Our girls trip was amazing! The location of this condo is perfect to get to everything! Wonderful size and amazing views. One of my friends who stayed in the downstairs bedroom said the bed was leaning down to one side a bit so hopefully that can be fixed. The washer and dryer are a bit finicky but work. I’d love to bring my family here next year. A great experience all around. Make sure you allot time to get the wrist bands and keys. They have to be picked up from a separate location. It was an easy process though. A great place to stay in Destin. Hoping to be back soon!

Not sure I would stay at this property again

The location is great for food and the beach. The condo is very spacious. The front door lock literally looked like someone had tried breaking into the place. There was what looked like dried blood on the sheets in a bedroom on the main floor. The toilet paper holder in one bathroom was hanging off the wall. One of the decorative pillows on the couch had brown stuff all over it (very unclean) The dryer left black lines on all of our clothes, I do NOT recommend drying your clothes there.

Nice unit, good location but below average management.

Unit have have a good ocean view, clean place. Easy to access to beach about 5minutes walking. Things in kitchen are cheap, still let a broken trash bin used and a few no big deal damaged such as a sliding door latch was broken, toilet paper holder almost fallen off from wall, wall corner chipped off etc…. Telling me this local Vacasa didn’t taken care of the unit for homeowner.

Moldy Unit. A/c Was broke one night

The Unit was exactly as advertised but was very dirty. Mold growing from the closet vent upstairs. Carpet was stained. Very little communication on info on how to get to room or parking areas from VACASA. A/C unit was broke upstairs. They did fix it quickly and the property manager was very responsive, however maintenance man declined it was mold in the vent when you clearly could see it was mold. They did refund a portion of our stay which is why I gave 2 stars. Great location just needs some maintenance and better employees.

Silver Shells was a great condo resort for a family trip. Great parking for 2 cars, easy to get to your room and less than 4 min walk to the beach with a giant pool for when you need a break. This property had everything we needed with plenty of room for 8 adults/teenagers.

Penthouse Life

We did a couples' trip. It was perfect as everyone had at least a queen bed and their own bathroom, and balcony access to gorgeous views. As an introvert, I loved that my partner and I had the king suite upstairs. I was able to get away from the others and sleep or recharge. The beds were fairly comfortable. Not like my bed at home, but better than other rentals I've had. The location was good. Across the street from Wal-Mart, so we could easily get things we needed. Close to several restaurants too. Oh! And we could walk to the beach! The check-in process was not the best. We didn't realize we had to go to the Vacasa office off site. Fortunately it was just 5 minutes away. But once checked in, we asked for an additional key fob and it wasn't an issue. Overall, it was a good experience. We would go back.

Penthouse with beautiful view!

The condo looked exactly like the pictures. My grandchildren said it was the best vacation place ever! The bedroom layout offered privacy for each guest. Master bedroom suite is huge! Some advertising we received showed on-site exercise facility, indoor pool, basketball but when we went to check it out, we were told they haven’t had it for 2 years. Apparently there was a facility in another location but we were looking forward to having those amenities at our condo complex. It was a mild disappointment but we still had a fantastic time! We plan to book it again!

We had an awesome time at the Silver Shells St Lucia penthouse! The property actually looks better than the pictures. This is a great location as it has a lot of amenities. Pools, hot tubs, beach, and a great place to get snacks and drinks at the beach! The views from the balconies are awesome. Close drive to the downtown Harbour too! Great resort! We will stay here again.

This property is in a nice location. The unit is spacious for entertaining which has an amazing view. There are a few downsides, the carpet needs cleaning, furniture is outdated and needs dusting. Basically, there should be a least a day to clean thoroughly before having the next guests arrives.

Two things

The property was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay. A couple of things to point out is 1. The television in one of the bedrooms was not working and someone did not fix it until our last night there. 2. There was not a broom in the PH to sweep up the sand so we had sandy floors the whole time we were there. We will definitely be back though.

Technical issues abounded

First family group that arrived went to ResortQuest office as directed. Although it was within operating hours, no one was there and check-in info wasn’t in the after hours box . Went to the property instead, and the guard gave us a parking pass and said we didn’t need the key fobs. Went to the parking garage as directed and the gate was open. We happened to enter the elevator lobby when someone else was leaving. It wasn’t until one of our party went back to get something out of a vehicle that we realized the access code in our welcome email didn’t work to get back in the door. Three calls later, we went back to the rental office and picked up the fobs. Returned to the property, one fob wouldn’t work. Luckily the other one did. Had to take the faulty fob back and exchange it the next morning. Even after exchanging, the fobs wouldn’t open the gates to get to beach access. Our girls had to exit the property and use a public beach access. To top it all off, the elevators in St. Lucia stopped working and it was a 12 flight hike upstairs, with the first 3 outside in a soaking rain. Since we had a disabled person in our party, luckily we only had to do that once.
