About this property
Beach front property for the perfect vacation!
Walk right off the patio of this immaculate first floor 1-bedroom 1-bath unit to the beautiful manicured courtyard with which Silver Dunes is renowned! A short 75-yard stroll takes you right to the sugar sand beach and emerald green waters of the Gulf. The family friendly pool, coin laundry room, and charcoal grills are also just steps outside your back door. Inside, a new KING size bed is featured in the bedroom, and full-sized stainless appliances coupled with granite countertops make preparing your meals in the fully stocked kitchen a joy. Whether you (or the kiddos) need to rinse off with a powerful shower or relax with a bath, the shower-tub combo has you covered. This unit boasts attention to detail such as extra storage space in the bedroom closet, a new comfy mattress on the queen-sized sofa bed, and a refreshed bathroom with new fixtures. And unloading your luggage and groceries couldn’t be easier with several parking spots within meters of your entry door – no stairs needed. Tiled throughout, this NONSMOKING unit will sleep 4 people.
Beach Service – If you didn’t pre-reserve beach chairs, just stop by the beach hut or call the Excel team at In addition to chairs and umbrellas, Excel offers kayaks and paddle boards for rent, as well as an assortment of snacks and drinks. Tennis, Basketball, Pickleball, and Shuffleboard – Forget your gear? No worries, you can check out rackets, balls, and more at the front desk at no charge! Grilling Out – In the busy months of spring and summer, many families opt to grill out rather than go out. We have eight charcoal grills available. There are several seafood markets nearby, including Blalock’s which is just a block to the west (p.s., their tuna dip is a must try!). Fitness Center – Did you know we have a fitness center in the Penthouse building? Just stop by the front desk to borrow the key. Family Activities – There’s always something fun on the itinerary at Silver Dunes: • Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Courtyard – Easter Sunday, 9 am in the courtyard • Scavenger Hunts – Throughout the Spring – for children of all ages! Just stop by the office to pick up your scavenger hunt necessities. Once you’ve collected everything, stop back by the office to pick a surprise from the Silver Dunes treasure chest! • Movies in the Courtyard – Bring a picnic blanket, your beach chairs, and join us on Mondays at dusk throughout June and July. We show a different family-friendly movie each week. • S’mores Nights with Live Music at the Pool –Wednesday nights are awesome at Silver Dunes! Throughout June and July, the firepits will be out, s’mores roasting, and tunes playing!

Overall great visit. Things i would ask for from the owners: more hanging rod in closet (what is there now is not adequate. and same for drawers, not enough. there was only 1 coffee cup, yep, just ONE?! LOVED the bed, it was a king and very comfy. the resort as a whole is nice. ONly other issue with the resort was no change.

We arrived on Monday afternoon after a VERY long drive, and I felt like I had finally made it home. The place was immaculate! Everything that you would need for a getaway was there (small appliances, utensils, towels, everything). The bed was very comfortable as was the couch in the TV room. And you are about 2-minute stroll from the beach! The neighbors that we saw were older couples and families, which is our type of crowd. I had a quick question for the owners about where to eat, and they told us about some of their favorites, and treated me like an old friend. True southern hospitality! We felt right at home, and if we can get away next summer, we will no doubt be staying here. It really was perfect.

We decided on a very last minute trip and this condo was good for that. We had 2 adults and 2 children. It was a little smaller than we are used. Not a lot of places to sit and relax. One small loveseat and an ottoman. The bed was comfortable. Room service was excellent if we needed anything. The place was clean and decorated cute. The only downfall is we did not have beach service. We had to pay for that all week. Most condos come with beach set up and this one does not. For last minute it worked but for a longer stay I recommend for only two people not a family of four. Thanks for the great stay!

The unit was very nice. Small ut it worked for three adults. The pullout sofa was very uncomfortable. Only three complaints: lighting in kitchen very dim, bathroom fan needs replaced and the patio door requires great strength to open. They need a new knob to control the fridge temp too, but said maintenance they ordered one. Very happy renter!!

I’m shocked that y’all charge the same amount for this unit as the nicer ones , I’ve stayed at Silver Dunes about 5 times and the last 3 years in a row and was not happy with Unit 4 at all. It needs a BIG deep cleaning EVERY WHERE... All around and in the tub, toilet, sinks, faucets , refrigerator, cushions on the couch were filthy, the mattress that u pull out on top and under it , baseboards , when u reach behind the bed or anywhere to plug in your phone charger, you could see how dirty the floors were etc. Terribke lighting in the few places that there was lighting , very thankful for Andy when he changed the light fixture in the bathroom so we could actually see in there , the lighting in the kitchen is terrible. I asked for Amber to come see us in the room but she didn’t . Andy was extremely nice and helpful and said they needed suggestions as to make things better . I’m not usually a complainer but I did call the night we got there and the next morning, we LOVE Silver Dunes but was not happy at all for the money that we paid for this unit last week ...

Had a fantastic 7 day stay here with my kids in Room #4 in the tower. Was happy to see that all my favorite things about Silver Dunes had not changed in 30 years, i.e., George (the best!); the blue umbrellas, the beloved courtyard, the tennis courts (my son and I played during the prestorm winds), the beach, the pool, the grills, the laundry room, an improved arcade and the nicest security guards and front desk staff. Thank you!!! It was great to be "home" and I can't wait to come back. To heck with 30A

Overall I was very happy with my stay at Silver Dunes. I live in Florida, so I am used to nice beaches but the sand in Destin is amazing. The condition of the condo was quite good. The appliances were is great shape and everything worked like it was supposed to. I had an issue with the wifi, but the maintenance team quickly fixed it. Big Kahuna's is less than a quarter mile away, and there is a cross walk directly in across from the front gate of Silver Dunes. I have already recommending this place to a friend.

we have stayed at silver dunes since 1994, on and off, pretty much every spring break. We have had snafu s over the years, but this 1 was by far the worst. It was just my husband and myself. It's a 1 bedroom with the worst mattress man ever made. Too much non essential junk in the kitchen with NO storage for groceries. No drawers for utensils. NO counter space. Unit 4 is unfit to rent. We spoke briefly with the front desk. They were less than helpful. This is not the silver dunes we knew. We will not be back

Ok, but could have been better
Good points:
Clean. Great counter tops. Bed comfortable. Drapes nice. Drying rack for towels nice. Several outlets available in bedroom. AC worked well!
Points to improve on:
Missing several knifes in block, no dishwashing liquid, no pot holders, no dish towels, couch itchy and uncomfortable, small TV in living area, stool screws loose , outside furniture rusted, only 4 coffee mugs, coffee pot only put out 8 cups even if put 12 cups of water, needs more light in bathroom, needs organizing and new utensils and plates.
