It was a very nice condo. However when arrived it was not cleaned very well. I had to clean all the floors and windows were cleaned as high as they could reach. It could use some paint touch up as well. Overall we truly enjoyed this condo and the master bath is incredible.

Time for the owners to come and see what’s going on……
We were prepared to love it, but the dust and grime was too much. I was grabbing dirty dishes out of the cupboard, writing my name in the dust on most surfaces and cringing at the stains on the chairs and pillows. Bedding was marginal, but the comforters stained and just plain gross. The lamps and light fixtures either didn’t work or had burned out lightbulbs. It’s definitely time for the owners to come back and try to live there for a week. We would bet they wouldn’t last more than a day.

We absolutely love Silver Shells and had another fabulous week in Destin. The pool is spectacular and the beach/gulf is just amazing! I would suggest a few items to add to the condo…plastic cups to take drinks to the pool, a keurig, some plastic containers with lids for food storage, beach towels, small cooler, would be nice for guests who fly in. We left a couple noodles and an umbrella so hopefully the next guest can enjoy them. Overall it was a perfect week!

Nice place
My biggest con of this place is having to drive 30minutes out of the way to get the keys. No complaints on cleanliness, not perfect but ok. Steam room was awesome and we loved all the shower heads but the hot water heater only lasts about 5minutes. Huge condo upgrades not shown in photos are amazing. Kids love each having their own balcony! Would love to come back but the price has raised and nearly made it impossible.

Great Place
Overall the place was great. The condo was very nice and had a very nice view on the 14th floor. We were happy with the condo. The only negative is the chair rentals. The prices for the chairs are very high and they only open rental place at 9:30 so it’s almost impossible to get there and reserve a set of chairs where you want to be. Also, the ice maker didn’t work and that would have been nice to have all week. Other than that it was a great stay.

Terrible communication
This is the 2nd year staying at this unit, it is a perfect layout & newly renovated, however the only form of communication with the host of the unit is by VRBO messenger. They told me both years that they had sent me our check in info via email and I never received it when they said they sent it (also checked spam etc, and it wasn’t there) when we got to the separate location to pick up our room keys, there were no keys in the lock box, and no one on site to help. So we ended up sitting outside on the phone trying to contact someone because we had no way of getting in to our room. Patio was not clean at all and I ended up having to mop the floor and clean off the outdoor tables. My in laws also found cat hair and toys under their bed. We love Destin and the Silver Shells resort but we won’t be renting through Best Beach Getaways anymore!

The property was nice! Great location and amazing views!! Beautiful beach!!! Condo is quite large and pretty! Needs a deep clean for sure!! Three adult friends staying and I registered them all, but the property manage only had 2 keys! It was a serious hassle when we needed to come and go, someone always had to be available to let one in!!

Fantastic place Horrible management
The place is amazing. It’s even more updated than the pics. Location and view almost can’t get any better. I really can’t say enough about the place. The management company though was horrible. No one answers the phone. You have to leave a message and hope someone gets back to. They have such a lack of communication. It was such a disappointment. We were afraid that we weren’t going to have a place to stay after booking well in advanced and fully paid. I hope they can work this out as I see others had similar issues.

First day not good. But after that a good visit.
Had to drive and extra 40 minutes round trip out of our way to pick up key cards to rental. Then key cards did not work. They put the wrong cards in the envelope. Could not use amenities prior to getting corrected. Was after 5:30. Then washed a load of clothes to only find our dryer was clogged with lent. Could have been a fire hazard.. But was fixed within 5 hours of being reported. Lights in master closet and master hall between closest where not working. Asked for lights bulbs to be replaced the first full day there but that never happened. Shower was nice but was hard to keep water from running out into the bath floor. Condo was nice otherwise. Great view.

A great stay
Our stay was amazing. Everyone from grandparents to kids had a great time. The location is amazing as we were steps away from pool and beach but also a short drive from many attractions and restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised that the condo was actually more updated than the pictures that were listed. The only issue was it was hard to get in contact with the property manger and the check out instructions were a little vague but all in all it was a great stay. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Great Stay
We had a great time at Silver Shells with our daughter, her spouse and three grand daughters. The pool was just below our building with the beach a short walk. We were able to have dinner within walking distance. Destin Harbor was a short drive away, however, the traffic is something else during the summer. Everyone had a great time.

We Love Silver Shells
We stayed at St. Maarten. We have stayed there many times and love it there. Our favorite part is the large lagoon pool. That is why we started staying there. Very disappointed that the hot tub didn't work the entire week we were there though. Other than that, it was a good trip. We were on the 14th floor with great pool and beach views. Condo was decorated exceptionally. Would definitely stay there again.

It was unbelievably beautiful! The best view of the gulf in Destin. The condo is magnificently decorated. Management genuinely seemed to care if you are happy and satisfied. Any questions we had, they answered immediately. The pool and hot tub was amazing! The pool was heated and huge. The master bathroom shower was so relaxing. The steam room was an extra surprise. The kitchen was well stocked to cook. The ice machine made the perfect cubes and tasted clean.( nothing is worse than nasty ice) The linens and towels was in great shape. Our family loved this condo and cant wait to come back.

Book this place now! The condo’s decor has been updated and it is gorgeous!
Check-in was fine, despite the reviews you’ll see. When all else fails, dial the contact number, option 2, and Robert will take care of you. The decor in the condo was updated and it blew us away. Everything was so comfortable and...THE SHOWER...is amazing. The pool, the play area, the walkability to the Back Porch, etc is just the best. We have stayed at Silver Shells for the last 3 or 4 years and this condo was every bit as nice as other condos we’ve stayed in, including the penthouse. Definitely recommend booking this place.
