The unit was well furnished, carpet appeared to need replacing. Found cookies under the bed upon arrival, kitchen had areas that were not clean (fridge, stove).Stayed with silver dunes the past 25 years, usually things are cleaner.

Silver Dunes
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful vacation in Destin, FL. Unfortunately, management didn't seem fair with my group. Upon first arriving, staff accused my group of "piling too many people off the RV". They also said we were keeping people awake at night despite our whole condo going to bed at 10:00pm. When further evaluated, it was determined a board member was staying in the room next to us and had "hawk eyes for our group". One day while staying in the pool, a security guard approached and said due to Florida Ordinance we cannot have any fluids within pool range. We quickly removed our drinks. The next day, when more vacationers arrived, everybody had drinks within the pool with no problem. We also got in trouble on the beach for playing family-friendly music at an appropriate level.

Sorry the weather was not good for the pool grand kids love it and cant wait to go back. it is a perfect place to stay. We have met several families 2 years in a row here that are now our friends. We enjoy going to LuLu's for dinner. The beach is clean and beautiful. We will be back

Silver Dunes Unit 42 July Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: As always, we enjoyed our stay at Silver Dunes. There's not many places in Destin that are not high rises, and the beaches are not so crowded. It's definitely a family friendly (young or older kids) place to stay. We loved our unit with all the space, but the furniture in the living area could use some updating including a new sofa bed, which was unusable. Other than that, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were nice, the kitchen was fully equipped and had lots of pantry space which was definitely a plus.

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: Our spring break vacation for my family of 5 was wonderful. The property was great and the beach was fantastic. My family loved the access to the cornhole boards on the beach!Upon arrival, I was surprised to find our kitchen sink very dirty and containing popcorn kernels. Along with that, the coffeemaker basket contained a used filter and coffee grinds. We also found an empty water bottle under a bed upstairs. The pull out sofa was terrible. That really needs to be replaced. Luckily there was an air mattress my son was able to use.
