Best condo we've stayed at!
The condo is exactly as described and pictured. The beds are beyond comfortable. Our family would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great views off the large balcony, well-manicured and clean property grounds, incredible pool, expansive beach, great place for families and kids of all ages. We loved everything about our stay at Silver Shells and this condo.

This condo was great and just what we needed. It was an easy walk down to the beach, where you can get beach service if you want. We would book with Jim again.

Highly recommend
My husband and I stayed about mid-October 2023. Jim and his sister (owners) are super nice and easy to work with. So much so, as my husband and I are electronically challenged and Jims sister, during a family gathering, interrupted her evening to call us and walk us thru the process. So kind. Jim is quick to respond to messages. Very accommodating. The condo is stunningly beautiful. Beds are super comfortable. We both have bad backs; mattresses were great quality. There was nothing we didn’t have, even down to a blow dryer and filtered water from the refrigerator!! I decided to utilize the jacuzzi tub in the master bath and the water shut off. Alarmed, we texted Jim. (we didn’t follow the condo instructions they provide) It’s a safety feature since the condo is on the 10th floor. We just called the number in the instructions and they reset the water. Easy peasy. Security on the grounds is top-notch! There are multiple condominium buildings; which can only be accessed if booked in it. There is a guard and arm gate that one must drive thru before even entering the property. There is an on-site gym. Small, but has quite a bit of equipment for its size. Enough to keep up on a routine while on vacay. It even had foam rollers and exercise mats! The grounds are immaculate and beautiful. My husband and I are beach people so we did not take advantage of the pools or hot tubs. Will book again!!

Perfect and we will return.
We’ve been coming to The panhandle 30yrs++. We just left Navarre Beach April 20th renting a poorly maintained condo- Vrbo, so we were skeptical. But to our surprise it was beautiful!! Perfect and comfortable! The resort itself was amazing. It was a walk to the pool and the beach, but doable. Met my daughter’s family with grandkids. They loved their condo as well & will return !!

WONDERFUL CONDO!
Great location, clean, comfy beds - you can't ask for much more when you're on vacation! The entire resort is perfect for families! Large pool, right on the beach (private beach - which is KEY!), pickleball courts (which our group was on daily), basketball, indoor workout facility, parking - they have everything right there! We also recommend renting a cabana for the week - we shared one with 3 other families and it was so nice being able to keep pool and beach stuff there and have snacks etc plus a private bathroom! The owner was very responsive with any questions! We would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time this week, the condo was just like the pictures and as described. It was very clean and well stocked with the necessary items. The resort was very nice and easy private beach access which was a must! The location was great as well for evening dining, groceries, etc. We would definitely go back to this resort and condo.

Great Vacay
We enjoyed our overall stay. The walk from the condo to the beach is short. You must wear wrist bands with fobs to enter different areas. Some of our fobs worked others didn't. However, you can enter codes to proceed through various points. The only down fall is we didn't bring a hair dryer, so make sure you do!

Fabulous Experience
The property is clean, well-maintained, safe and really beautiful. It sits right on the beach and it takes less than a minute to walk from the pool to the beach. The pool, by the way, is extremely large and also wonderful. Never a problem getting chairs and the pool was never even really crowded. The beach area was private and, again, never really crowded. The property is centrally located so that a trip to Destin Commons was less than 5 minutes and a trip to the Harbor area was less than 10. We had dinner one night in Miramar Beach and that was only 15 minutes away. Perfect location! The condo, itself, is absolutely perfect. The rooms are well decorated and everything (coffee makers, linens, you name it) is in great condition. I cannot stress enough how nice this unit is. The view from the living room, and both bedrooms, is beautiful with an expansive view of the beach and ocean. The master bathroom is large and, again, well maintained and well decorated. Jim is a great owner who keeps his unit in impeccable condition. I did have to talk to him twice about the access codes and, unfortunately, Tropical Storm Fred (which turned out to be a big nothing) and he was friendly, easy to reach and talk to and answered all my questions. Minor problem with the living room TV remote which was easily fixed and, as some reviews have noted, the water was shut down once. But, I called the water company (I think it's called Halo) and the water was back on in 15 minutes. Truly a fantastic stay and experience. When we go back to Destin, I will definitely rent this unit again. A 10 out of 10.
