The perfect Condo! I highly recommend.
My family comes to Destin every year, but this was our first time staying in this unit. This condo was perfect for us, because it was very clean, the wall decor and bathrooms were elegant, and the furnishings were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the beach views can't be beat. We were really impressed with the three balconies. Great location and very convenient to be able to walk directly onto the beach. We will definitely book this unit again. I highly recommend!

Excellent!
This was by far the best condo we have stayed in. It is extremely spacious, with two covered balconies and each room was generous with space and bathroom. It has been completely renovated and they chose well.My only very minor complaint is the master bedroom needs a real door not a barn door- needs a little more privacy in that way. We will be absolutely be back!

The only issue was the hot water. Got used to cool showers. Called maintenance on a minor issue and he checked the hot water heater. The temperature was set at 150 degrees!! Sounds like a heating element issue. Other than that .. we would book again!! Linda

Cannot recommend
Management company's pre-check-in emails were rude and unnecessary, focusing on items I didn't inquire about. On check-in day, emails provided incorrect entry code and parking details. Despite this, we managed to sort it out before the office closed. Kitchen was well-equipped but lacked dish soap and had only two trash bags. Front door didn't lock properly, but building security wasn’t an issue. No checkout instructions in the unit; received knocks on the door exactly at 10am despite planning to leave slightly later. When inquiring about trash bags and dish soap, was told it was my responsibility, which seemed unreasonable. Overall, property management needs improvement.

Great Stay in Destin!
This is a beautiful condo with nice furnishings. We loved the view and the small number of units in the building. We never had to wait for an elevator. The kitchen is fantastic, but could use better cookware. Beds are good, but sleeping comfortably was a bit of a challenge due to a lack of ceiling fans in 2 of 3 bedrooms. Also, the main bed is very high off of the ground. A bare minimum amount of linens was provided and there were no pillowcases for the extra pillows in the closet. Still, we had a great time and highly recommend this unit.

Almost 5 stars
Share Elegance @ Destin Towers is a spacious and beautifully remodeled property, and is nicely nestled in the main part of Destin, but with secure access. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; however, there were two exceptions: (i) enormously loud banging pipes in the walls whenever hot or cold water was turned on, and (ii) the noise transfer from adjacent units was terrible. If both of those issues could be remedied, this would definitely be "5 stars."

Great place to stay
This condo was very clean and updated. Our view from the balcony to the ocean was priceless. We saw dolphins everyday and even a shark in the ocean from our room. The pool was clean and warm and the walk to the beach was close. Would definitely recommend staying here. The location is right across the street from the water park, it wasn’t open when we were there but it is a good location.
