Memories with the Grandkids
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been going to Silver Dunes since 1979. First with my children and now with my grandchildren. With the exception of a couple of years, we have been staying in Unit 11 for roughly 20 years while our grandchildren and their parents occupy another unit. We have always had a good experience with Unit 11, but this year the oven temperature knob was non-existent, and we do a lot of cooking while on vacation. We reported it, but it was never fixed during our stay.

Silver Dunes Never Disappoints!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I took my two teenage kids on vacation and we had a wonderful stay in this condo. It was a perfect size and price for us and we liked the location too, except that there were renovations going on nextdoor for about an hour in the early morning on some days we were there. Everything was great and the condo was very clean and well-stocked. The blender seemed to have some issues though. All in all, we loved it and will be back again!

Silver Dunes is a Golden Opportunity
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A wonderful place to get away and loose yourself in all that Destin has to offer. The location of the property is in perfect proximity to all of Destin’s restaurants, shopping and excursions in either direction. Loved the fact that it’s a gated community. The condo itself also has a digital entryway and was immaculate upon arrival. Very tastefully decorated, plenty of towels for the week, and all the kitchen items to prepare meals if you desire. Very comfy bed and more than enough closet space. Great little patio outside as well. The beach is perfect! Spent our days on the soft white sand and the warm water of the gulf. Then the afternoons at the pool which was very clean and we thought the perfect temperature. More than enough places to sit/lay and relax, read and enjoy a cocktail before heading out for dinner. The staff is 5 star all the way. If you need our have questions about anything, they are more than happy to help you. We already made our reservations for next year we loved it so much, can’t wait to go back.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our vacation. We had 7 perfect days and countless great memories were made. We also meet a lot of regulars who rent the property on the same week every year and we are happy to say that we will be coming back! We upgraded to a 2 bedroom in building A for proximity to the beach and to our friends and family. The only complaint I could possibly have is the sprinkler timing... they came in at 8 am and soaked everything I had drying outside from the previous beach day. We stayed in unit 11 and the lack of a walk way to our back door caused pine straw to be tracked and stuck to everything. Our patio was never cleaned because some how something go got knocked over from an oversized chair and it was gross wet cigarette butts which smelled pretty bad because we are non smokers. Our towel rack was broken which is a big part to why our towels were getting wet from the sprinklers. The timing was just bad for morning walkers and early starters. So at the end of the week not a big deal and I’m just giving constructive Feed back because as a business owner I understand the value and always strive to be better and learn from as much as possible.

Unit 11
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice unit which is perfect for a family of 4. It’s a one bedroom, one bath with new living room furniture and a new mattress in the bedroom. The couch folds out into a comfy bed which was perfect for our two grandchildren. We loved the proximity to the pool, and the short walk (less that 75 yards) was easy. The private beach was very nice, and was never crowded. There is a volleyball court and 2 sets of cornhole boards on the beach for guest use. The management staff was friendly and very helpful. The condo is clean and in good repair. We will definitely be back!

Unit 11 review
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The website says it is a queen size bed, but it was a full size bed and the sheets didnt fit it. The mattress was very uncomfortable and no support. Definitely needs an upgrade. Flooring looks new and the unit appears updated.

Nice enough but pricey for what I got.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Needed a 1BR 1Bath for one person to be nearby other family staying on Holiday Isle in order to bring cost down. Unit was nice enough and clean, but felt "dated" or older. Coffee table in need of repair or replacement. Complex is nice felt secure staying there. This unit doesn't really provide an ocean view so seems should be more affordably priced.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our time at Silver Dunes. We were across from the pool (beautiful view) & only a short walk to the beach. The staff from the front desk to the housekeepers were very sweet & super helpful. We especially love George at the Beach!! Our one bedroom was quite a bit smaller than the one we stayed in last year & in need of some serious updating.

Love the resort!
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love staying at Silver Dunes. It's always a fun experience for our family. We LOVE the new party nights at the pool. The s'mores were great! The front desk lady was very rude about the fireworks laws in Florida (that we were unaware of). It did not start our experience well. We did not know that the policy changed for cleaning our room towels. We did not like this change as it cost extra to clean the towels because our room did not come with a washer/dryer. We also had strange caterpillar looking insects in the bedroom (I'm not sure if these usually live in Florida but I've never seen them before).Overall we had a pleasant experience but we may look around for a new location to stay because of these unfortunate changes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We would stay at Silver Dunes again but not in unit 11. It had very outdated furniture, the vertical blinds were missing slats, nails on walls with nothing hanging from them, the cheapest and fewest pieces of outdoor furniture and no stepping stones going up to "patio" like all the other condos. The bathroom looked fairly updated. Kitchen definitely needs updating.
