Silver Shells Beach Resort & Spa is a 30-Acre Beach Resort, Bordering The Pristine Natural setting of Henderson State Park.

When one says location, location, location ..... this is the place to be!



Destin is well known as the World’s Luckiest Fishing Village largely because of its roots as a top fishing destination and quick access to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Destin boasts the largest charter fishing fleet in the state of Florida. If you have an interest in charter deep sea fishing – Destin is the place. But, there is much more to Destin than charter fishing. Destin has evolved over the years to be a top beach vacation destination. Featuring pristine, sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-colored water, it is an absolutely beautiful area. The town itself offers many upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities.

Loved the location!

We loved the property. Only issue was we were given a key card for the wrong unit and it was impossible to contact VRBO to get a new. Luckily the property manager was helpful in getting us a new one even though it was not his job.

Amazing location

The location was exactly what we wanted, right on the beach, nice pool. This is me being very nitpicky so take it for what it is, the ac was much colder in the common rooms vs the bedrooms. Also we didn't know there were beach chairs and innertubes in the front closet so make sure you check there. We will be back!

Amazing getaway!

PROS: Great location, clean and lots of kitchen essentials. The Silver Shells Resort is clean and provides nice amenities. CONS: We had a bit of a delayed check in..approximately 45 mins. due to the cleaning crew still working on the condo. The Silver Shells Resort is very secure and private, requiring a key card to allow you to enter/exit the pool/beach areas...we were only provided one access card which made it a little difficult because we were there with another couple. If we did not all go together, we spent time meeting at the gates to allow each other in/out...somewhat of a pain. Overall, it is a great place to stay and we have plans to return!

Wonderful 2-week vacay!

I was looking for an opportunity to escape reality amidst the current pandemic, and I came across this property. It was a bit pricey, but I loved everything about it. I stayed from June 27th-July 11th. The condo was decorated nicely and fully equipped with all of necessary essentials that are needed away from home...I was able to wash clothing and cook full meals on a daily basis! The location was perfect...I loved facing the pool and having the beach on the horizon...plus the view was spectacular from all rooms! When we needed to make a quick run to the store, everything was within a 5 minute drive, but the traffic is horrendous on Highway 98...no fault of the property of course. Check-in was easy, but the access cards are in the condo upon arrival, so I was stuck in the parking garage until some came along and let me in to catch the elevator to the condo. It would be my suggestion to leave the access card at the guard gate for new arrivals...it would make check-in much easier. My only complaint is that there was a dry-rotted centerpiece of vegetables used to make a table display on the balcony, and it caused gnats to get into the condo. It really needs to be trashed...the gnats were very annoying! I would have trashed it myself, but I didn’t know if I would be charged. If staying for a while, with a quite a few people, be sure to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, trash bags, soap, and other consumable items that you may use on a daily basis. There is a plethora of dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. I totally appreciated that! If you are a beach bum like me, bring your own chairs...we didn’t have to rent from the chair vendor since we had our own. You just have to be closer to the water line or further back towards the grass line. Overall...I enjoyed my stay...I was only looking to refresh, renew, and press restart, so I didn’t partake in all that Destin or Silver Shells Resort had to offer, but the property is a great place to vacay for an extended amount of time. ***The beach fireworks on the night of July 4th were pretty awesome...we had a perfect view from the condo balcony.

The view was good! Location was great. I would recommend updating furniture in living room and bed pillows. We wanted to watch a movie one night and the living room furniture wasn’t comfortable for parents and kids. Just a suggestion. Lots of appliances in unit and it was clean. We enjoyed all the games as well.

This is a nice condo with an ocean view in Silver Shells, a property with a good gym, pools, courts for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and more. It's within walking distance of a state park and a beachfront restaurant. The condo itself is well furnished and this unit comes with parking in the parking garage, which is a plus.
