Awesome condo and resort

We had a great time in Destin! The condo was well equipped especially the kitchen. We enjoyed the balcony and the pool the most. The gym and pickleball courts were amazing. The amenities were top notch! It was nice having a parking spot too in the garage. It was a little bit of a tight fit for our minivan but thankfully no one was in the parking spot next to us. It was nice to launder our beach towels also! All the grocery stores and big-box stores are close. The beach chairs were a nice bonus and plenty of beach toys for kiddos. We did rent an umbrella which was 35 a day on the beach. No outside umbrellas allowed.

Clean, great location, comfortable and beautiful!

This was a wonderful condo! Our favorite part is that both bedrooms were ocean view. It was clean, smelled wonderful and had everything you would need. Best, well equipped kitchen I have experienced. The pool is kept up so nice, walking distance to awesome restaurants. We were there the busiest week for July 4th. It is a location now for high schoolers to come July 4th week from Louisiana, so if you don’t want hundreds of teens around, you may want a different week. But if you have a teen, loads of fun! I would come back here. The owners are wonderful and accommodating. This unit won’t dissapoint you.

All around awesome

It was a rocky beginning. VRBO did not tell the owner that we were coming down. Frank did step it up after hearing no instructions on how to get in condo. Everything worked out well. Communication with the owner was difficult, I sent numerous messages through the VRBO app and received no answer. Finally 6 hours before are so called arrival Frank did answer. He and VRBO did help and we arrived and checked in on time. The condo itself was excellent and everything we needed. The view was excellent. We have stayed in this complex 5x’s and this condo is the best. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Beautiful unit - clean and comfortable. There is garage parking which was nice and the car was kept cool in there. The beach is gorgeous and the sand is like powdered sugar - super white and fluffy. Water was crystal clear. The view from the balcony was amazing especially when we could see pods of dolphins swimming by. We loved waking up and seeing the ocean right outside our bedroom window. One thing we didn't realize was that if you want an umbrella on the beach, you need to rent from the resort (you cannot use your own umbrella on their private beach)- this is 80/day for an umbrella and 2 chairs - it was fine but not an expense we were planning on. The unit has some beach chairs but no cart so taking all the chairs down with bags, towels etc wasn't feasible so we opted to just rent - it was nice and convenient. We'd stay here again for sure and I'd recommend to family and friends.

The perfection of this condo and the resort for our family of 4…well I will try to put into words! The pictures of this condo and resort sold us, but they don’t even do it justice! It’s way better in real life than in the pictures if you can believe it! The condo was perfectly clean, all beds incredibly comfortable, showers are big and clean and the condo has every thing you would need that you may have forgotten! The resort itself, top notch. We took advantage of all the amenities from the gym to pickle ball, tennis and basketball. The beach was never crowded, the pool was busy but never felt crowded. The groundskeepers worked hard every morning and the pool was always so clean. We walked to the Back Porch for dinner and was so nice, got amazing ice cream at Candymaker next door on our walk home. We were grateful for the extra beach chairs and all the cool toys the unit offered for the beach! We were grateful for everything this unit offered and this is the only place we would want to stay again when we return! The semi private elevators were so nice and never an issue with waiting! LOVED this unit and the Emerald Coast.

Beautiful and well kept pool area. Monitors at pool kept things safe and family friendly (settled down rowdy teens and 20s). Great beach area. The Sand Bar was a great surprise with libations and live misic on some nights. Close to good food, shopping and and grocery.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Geneva Barnhill

Host profile image
We are Geneva and Frank Barnhill. We have been married 55 years, and live in Dunwoody, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. We have been in the Jewelry Business for 56 years.

We have owned condos in Destin for more than 36 years, and at Silver Shells since 2002. We call it our HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

Why they chose this property

We visited Destin about 36 years ago and discovered it's beautiful beach, friendly people and many wonderful restaurants. In 2002 we stopped at Silver Shells for lunch, took one look at the view from our 8th floor condo, and bought it immediately. Silver Shells is an Upscale, Gated, Family oriented Beach Resort. It was the best family decision we have ever made.

What makes this property unique

For us it is the Relaxation, walking on the beautiful beach, Spa, and the many wonderful restaurants we have discovered in Destin. We also enjoy breakfast, lunch and cocktails with a spectacular view from our balcony. Our children and grandchildren love the Beach, huge Pool, Playground and the many things to do at Silver Shells and in Destin.
