Beautiful location for a beach vacation. We were close to everything we wanted and needed. Our unit was clean and had a wonderful oceanfront view of the beach. It was clean and well maintained.

Birthday Trip

My family and I stayed at this property for my birthday and it was everything plus more! It was beautiful with an astonishing gulf view! I will definitely book again in the warmer months. It was as pictured and very clean. They had everything we needed for our stay. They have plenty of cookware and dishes, chairs and cooler for the beach, and much more amenities. It was a 10/10!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and had an incredible week. The views are great and access around the property is very easy with the key fobs. One surprise was the price of the beach chairs/umbrella rental which I tried to find out before we arrived but got no one to answer or return my call with the beach service so 5 days for 2 umbrellas and 4 chairs was an extra $130/day or $650. I then found out from most of the people staying that the beach chairs and umbrellas were included in the rental. This may help show how valuable it is to have this built into the rental when deciding what unit to stay in. Destin definitely has the best beaches!!

Spring Vacation

We loved our room and the resort was so beautiful inside and out. The weather was not the greatest, but we did not mind since it was such a beautiful location. It was a little confusing at first on how to check into our room when we arrived since we drove straight into the garage. Don’t do that go to the lobby entrance first, and have someone go up to your room to get elevator access keys to your floor. The rooms were very clean, and we loved the view from our balcony. The only issue was that since the weather was not the greatest, it would have been nice if the heater in pool was working. That pool was freezing cold and the only thing warm enough was the Jacuzzi, but there were so many kids and people in there we decided to pass on cramming ourselves in there. Other than that we had a lovely time and most importantly we will be back!!

Very hard to check in. Dyer in room would not dry cloths. It got hot, but never would dry. Could have used more trash bags for a 4-night stay. Everyone was very nice and friendly. We never saw the property manager.

Pros and cons

If you are looking for a vacation rental with many amenities and restaurants and bars on site this is not the place for you. If you want to enjoy the beach and relax at the pool this place is perfect. The room was well decorated even though some furniture had stains, the Linens were clean. I would definitely recommend this property to adults looking for a nice get away.

Slightly disappointed

For the price little disappointed. Silver shells in general is a hassle to get around complex, key fobs for multiple entries, elevators confusing to begin with, having private is nice but not sure it’s worth the hassle. This unit “does “ have a sofa sleeper. Stools and table chairs are white cloth that have stains, no biggie but you leave wandering if they will think you did the stains. 2br sleeps 6 3 br sleeps 8 policy is kinda ticky, didn’t affect us but could others. This unit designates “1” parking spot, plus additional “if available “, that’s ridiculous for a 3 br. We got by fine but were worried until we got parked. Silver shells is very nice resort but it’s a little too much hassle just staying there.

Beautiful property

The property was wonderful. My only complaint was the lack of kitchen utensils. No cookie sheet, no hot plates and no hot mitts. We had to bake cookies in a glass pan, and the only way we could get things out of the oven was with a kitchen towel. Also no scissors anywhere to open things. Aside from that, we loved the condo!!
