Destin Vacation 2024 Silver Shells 702
This condo had a beautiful view and was very clean. Many things were only a few minutes away. The beach was beautiful and sand was buttery smooth and soft. The two ocean front bedrooms allowed us to all enjoy the beautiful view from morning to night. Everyone working at Silver Shells was kind and helpful. We had an excellent stay.

Wonderful experience
Ryan’s place was absolutely marvellous. The 6 of us stayed there for 3 nights, including 2 infants. The apartment was clean and had a stunning view of the coastline. The master bedroom was equipped with infant friendly accessories which was a great help to my friends who were travelling with 2 infants. Communication with April and Ryan was very efficient and the instructions were easy to follow. The property has easy access to the beach as well as tennis and pickle ball courts. Only regret is that we stayed only for 3 nights!

Great Stay
We were very happy with our stay at this condo in Destin. The Silver Shells complex is really nice and this condo is right in the middle and faces the beach and pool area. We loved the beach bar and band that played on Sunday night. The entire complex is clean and well manicured. The condo itself was clean and well appointed. We will stay here again if we get the chance.

This condo met and exceeded my expectations. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors and picturesque windows framed the BREATHTAKING beachfront view! Each space in the condo was clean and tastefully decorated. In addition to the hosts providing detailed instructions about everything, the home was well-equipped with all necessities and even extras for a comfortable stay. The property grounds, common areas, amenities, etc. were inviting, secure, and well-maintained. The property is convenient to great restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. This was a worry-free experience with no incidentals. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this home and my stay. I'm thrilled that I had the opportunity to experience such a great home!!

Winter Vacation
Spectacular views, great location and accommodations. Condo was was very clean and inviting with a great beach vibe. We had a great week weather was perfect in the '70s!! Only two key card swipes provided which made it difficult for individuals to go their separate ways since it's required to access anything on the property. Our units passcode was deactivated prior to checkout so it was a good thing that somebody stayed back at the room while loading our car. Sheets have a tendency to come off the bed at night so either deeper pocket sheets or alligator clips for the corners on the fitted sheets may resolve that issue. Only 4 rolls of toilet paper provided so be sure to bring your own. It would be nice to have a full-length mirror and maybe some bar top stools on the balcony to see over the rails. We definitely recommend this property!

Fall Break @ Silver Shells
Great location and amenities for everyone. We enjoyed the pool, sand bar, and activities. My only complaint is that beach service was not included and we had to reserve and pay daily. This is the first time beach service was not included so that was a little frustrating. Otherwise, it was perfect and comfortable.
