Beautiful condo

Our girls trip was amazing! The location of this condo is perfect to get to everything! Wonderful size and amazing views. One of my friends who stayed in the downstairs bedroom said the bed was leaning down to one side a bit so hopefully that can be fixed. The washer and dryer are a bit finicky but work. I’d love to bring my family here next year. A great experience all around. Make sure you allot time to get the wrist bands and keys. They have to be picked up from a separate location. It was an easy process though. A great place to stay in Destin. Hoping to be back soon!

Not sure I would stay at this property again

The location is great for food and the beach. The condo is very spacious. The front door lock literally looked like someone had tried breaking into the place. There was what looked like dried blood on the sheets in a bedroom on the main floor. The toilet paper holder in one bathroom was hanging off the wall. One of the decorative pillows on the couch had brown stuff all over it (very unclean) The dryer left black lines on all of our clothes, I do NOT recommend drying your clothes there.

Nice unit, good location but below average management.

Unit have have a good ocean view, clean place. Easy to access to beach about 5minutes walking. Things in kitchen are cheap, still let a broken trash bin used and a few no big deal damaged such as a sliding door latch was broken, toilet paper holder almost fallen off from wall, wall corner chipped off etc…. Telling me this local Vacasa didn’t taken care of the unit for homeowner.

Penthouse view

We loved the Penthouse views! Nice views of the ocean and the surrounding area. We used the balconies every morning and evening to drink coffee, eat breakfast, and play games. The penthouse also had a private parking spot in the parking garage which was nice since we had 2 small children. The apartment tower had its own small swimming pool and hot tub which we used once. We had it all to ourselves. The main pool area was very nice with lots of space and was kept very clean. The walk to the beach was not that far. We enjoyed the beach and swimming pools everyday! Our family had a wonderful trip and enjoyed making special memories together!

Moldy Unit. A/c Was broke one night

The Unit was exactly as advertised but was very dirty. Mold growing from the closet vent upstairs. Carpet was stained. Very little communication on info on how to get to room or parking areas from VACASA. A/C unit was broke upstairs. They did fix it quickly and the property manager was very responsive, however maintenance man declined it was mold in the vent when you clearly could see it was mold. They did refund a portion of our stay which is why I gave 2 stars. Great location just needs some maintenance and better employees.

Location is Great

Silver Shells resort is in a great location. A bit away from the Harbor but not too far. Near restaurants and shopping. Of course if you know Destin the traffic right now is difficult with the construction. Silver Shells has 1 large pool and individual private pools for each building. There is a sand bar which serves snack and cold drinks on the beach WITH service to your rented chairs and umbrellas which was a pleasant surprise. Ruth’s Chris is right on site with a fun happy hour menu that is more casual. It’s also close to the Candymaker and Back Porch for places to walk to and not have to fight with traffic. Now for the condo itself, it was just ok. Carpets are extremely stained, the baseboards are thick with dust, there was garbage left on our patio and the walls are very marked up. It is in dire need of some tlc and care. With that said, the layout worked for our needs and we didn’t spend much time in the condo other than to sleep and the beds were comfortable. This condo sits on the south west side of the building so you do have all views of the Gulf, with St.Maarten and another building between you and the water.

Home on the Beach

Silver Shells was a great condo resort for a family trip. Great parking for 2 cars, easy to get to your room and less than 4 min walk to the beach with a giant pool for when you need a break. This property had everything we needed with plenty of room for 8 adults/teenagers.

Penthouse Life

We did a couples' trip. It was perfect as everyone had at least a queen bed and their own bathroom, and balcony access to gorgeous views. As an introvert, I loved that my partner and I had the king suite upstairs. I was able to get away from the others and sleep or recharge. The beds were fairly comfortable. Not like my bed at home, but better than other rentals I've had. The location was good. Across the street from Wal-Mart, so we could easily get things we needed. Close to several restaurants too. Oh! And we could walk to the beach! The check-in process was not the best. We didn't realize we had to go to the Vacasa office off site. Fortunately it was just 5 minutes away. But once checked in, we asked for an additional key fob and it wasn't an issue. Overall, it was a good experience. We would go back.
