Girls Beach Trip

Overall the stay was great; however, the ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms did not have chains inorder to be able to adjust the speed of the fans. Overall the unit was well located and equipped. In terms of locations I thought we were booking the St Croix which I have stayed in previously and is a much better view. The balcony was inviting and a great way to great the day.

Family Spring Break

Thank you for a wonder week away from reality. We had a fabulous stay! The process was so easy from checking in to checkout. The condo was spotless! The bedrooms were so roomy! The shower was nice and large. The facilities were perfect. There were always enough seats around the pool. The complementary chairs at the beach were icing on the cake. The boys at the beach stand were so nice, and very knowledgeable about activities. Six of us stayed here comfortably. We had 4 adults and two kids 6 and 10 yers old. We would definitely stay here again!!. Thank you.

Great Stay for 2 couples!

I specifically wanted a condo with 2 King beds. We loved the condo and the walk to the beach was so quick! The pool looked great and the whole property was beautiful. I would recommend putting a unit in with the TV so people can log into their Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime accounts because we did not have that option. Great condo though!!!

Pleasantly decorated, well-equipped, conveniently located

St. Lucia 605 turned out to be a very pleasant and all-around enjoyable stay for us. The unit couldn't have been more conveniently located in Destin. The unit itself was well-equipped and comfortable for our family. The resort had very nice amenities and a super nice beach area. The daily beach service was a really nice feature. Compass Resorts couldn't have been nicer to deal with. Everything in order and better than expeccted. This was a great vacation for us.

Beautiful condo

Beautiful condo and everyone at Silver Shells were very kind and helpful. Only draw back was there were no rental cars available so we had to take a taxi, uber, lyft, etc. from airport to wherever we wanted to go for 1 day until we could get a car. There is a Walmart across the street but it is a highway and there is construction going on so cannot walk to it. There is a nice little place to get breakfast behind the condo that you can walk to. Also is a restaurant for lunch and dinner that you can walk to also. Everything is gated and is a very safe secure setting. Condo was beautiful and especially liked the idea that each bedroom had a sliding door to the balcony.
