Enjoyed Destin with the Family at Silver Shells

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Our family had a great time at this property. It's a great location with a fabulous view. The photos were very accurate and the condo was a good size and fit us perfectly. The property and beach was well maintained and clean. I would highly recommend the property to anyone.If there is one piece of feedback it's that the curtains in the master bedroom did not block light very well, so as soon as it got light out it was time to get up.

Great condo. Really enjoyed our stay. Great space. Would have liked to see bath mats in bathrooms and more towels. Also felt like security guards are overly aggressive about asking for arms bands. Would definitely stay here again. My family really enjoyed staying there!

Beautiful Beach Rental

Condo is beautifully decorated and plenty of room for everyone!! Conveniently located to plenty of restaurants and shopping. Great view of the beach (loved watching the sunrises) and the pool. The only thing I could recommend is to have a few extra blankets for the beds. It was chilly a couple of nights and the blankets on the beds are thin for the warmer months. Otherwise we had an amazing time and would definitely rent again!!

Beautifully newly remodeled condo! Excellent location! Friendly staff and great service. Our only complaint was that the floors didn’t seem to have been cleaned because the baby’s knees were getting dirty from crawling around. Other than that, very pleased!
