⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So many benefits to staying at the Starfish Shack! Not only did we have beach service but our chairs were always at the front. The ice maker was so helpful. The views into the clear ocean were amazing! We saw a manatee and a gator. This is an end unit and the windows along the side of the kitchen overlook the pool which was helpful to see if it was crowded or not. Free drinks at happy hour was nice. 5 minute walk to The Back Porch and The Candy Maker. The staff were helpful and seemed to be cleaning the property regularly. This place spoiled us and will be the only Destin property we stay at in the future.

Best Beach Stay
Such a wonderful, beautiful property with a perfect view of the beach and Gulf from the spacious balcony! We found this to be such a peaceful place and spent the majority of our time in the condo or on the beach. Many amenities provided and we loved that the beach chairs and umbrellas were included in the cost. Front desk staff was very helpful. We definitely plan to return! Husband loved the fitness center and worked out daily.

This condo is fabulous!
This was everything it was advertised as and more! Great beach area and the condo is very close to the ocean. The balcony is huge and has three tables and chairs settings. The master bedroom opens to the balcony and is great! Very clean condo. The front desk staff was very helpful and very friendly. Designated parking spot in the garage was very nice, and there was ample other parking too. The pool was very clean and was great too. All in all this was one of the best places we have stayed in the Destin area and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.
