The beach is calling—and so is this beachfront vacation rental! Silver Shells St Lucia 501 is a chic, fifth-floor condo located in downtown Destin. The condo has large windows and glass doors, sunny living accommodations, and cozy sleeping quarters. This lovely beach rental can host up to eight vacationers with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a large, open great room. Sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows cover most wall space, providing sensational views and a bright ambiance. The doors open onto a wraparound balcony furnished with lounge seating and woven furniture. You will love sitting on the balcony with your fellow vacationers, enjoying the views, breezes, and a refreshing margarita. Inside, the carpeted living room includes a cream-colored couch and two blue-gray armchairs. The seating ensemble faces a flatscreen TV mounted above a credenza. Pale yellow walls and colorful accents create a beachy feel. A glass-topped dining table and five chairs sit between the living area and a wall of windows. Additional stool seating can be found at the kitchen bar. The kitchen has honey-toned cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and spacious countertops. Chefs and chefs at heart will love the space provided, making it easy to cook up tried-and-true meals or experiment with new recipes.
Like the great room, the bedrooms are warm, sunny, and welcoming. Each has large windows and doors and access to the balcony. The master suite includes a king-size bed, dark wood furnishings, a cream-colored armchair, and a wall-mounted TV. A luxury ensuite bath has a walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, and a sleek vanity. Both guest bedrooms are tropically decorated, feature king and queen-size beds, and flatscreen TVs for viewing pleasure.
Guests at Silver Shells St Lucia 501 have access to wonderful Silver Shells Beach Resort amenities. One of these is a huge outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a paver sundeck and lush tropical landscaping. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, or luxuriate in the bubbling hot tub. After a freshwater soak, head over to the glistening Gulf—it’s only a one-minute walk from the property!
If you want to explore the surrounding area, there’s plenty to see and do. Downtown Destin is home to a variety of popular restaurants, bars, and shops.

Silver shells St. Lucia Destin
The place was great and super clean. However, when I got this space it said it slept 4 adults. I was surprised when I got there and it was 3 bedrooms. There were only 3 of us going so I ended up paying for spaces that we didn’t need. You may want to adjust the ad so you’ll open it up to more people and also not have people pay more than they need to. Because of the extra space, we had our other son and his family stay with us.
Thanks

We enjoyed the condo. Had trouble opening the balcony doors and the maintenance man promptly responded. The doors were just heavy! Furnishings were as shown. Very clean and the kitchen was well furnished.
