ACCOMMODATIONS
As you enter the 4th-floor condo (there are three elevators), you will see a very tastefully decorated condo with abundant natural light. New flooring has just been installed in the main living space and bedrooms! To the right is a well-equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and beautiful white hard-surface countertops. A full-size washer and dryer next to the kitchen, including iron and board. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a dining table for four and an additional sitting at the bar for two. As you enter the main living space, there is comfortable seating and a large 55" flat-panel TV. Just to the other side of the living room is a large balcony with ocean views, a lounge chair, and a complete set of tables and chairs to enjoy an outdoor lunch or cup of coffee in the morning. To the left of the living room is the master suite. As you enter the suite, you will find a very spacious walk-in closet and, to the right, a large king-size bed and a 42" flat-panel TV. To the left is a private bathroom with a separate shower, jacuzzi tub, and double vanity sinks. You will find the guest suite in the main living space opposite. As you make your way in, you will see a full-size bathroom with a large standup shower and a single vanity sink. The bedroom is just to the left of the bathroom and has two full-size beds, a flat-panel TV, and open closet space.

AMENITIES AND POOL
Silver Shells, St Lucia, has some of the best amenities of any Beach Resort in Destin. For an additional charge, the full-service spa offers Swedish and European massages combined with hydrotherapy and aromatherapy, facials, microdermabrasion, waxing, body treatments, and hair and nail care. If staying in shape is one of your goals, there are many options: two onsite tennis courts, a large basketball court, and a fitness center. Once you have built up a good sweat, cool off in the large 7,500-gallon Gulf-front lagoon-style pool with waterfalls and whirlpools, a kiddie pool for the little ones, and a large pool deck with lounge chairs and tables with umbrellas. St. Lucia also has a private pool (heated) and hot tub.

BEACH
Just off the pool area, you will find the boardwalk that leads to the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast with crystal clear waters and fluffy white sand making it a great spot for relaxing the day away. Looking for a tropical drink or a tasty snack? Slide to the Sand Bar Tiki Bar and Grill at the end of the boardwalk near the pool and grab one of their seafood sandwiches, juicy burgers, or tasty salads. And no worries if there is no room for beach chairs and umbrellas in the car. Silver Shells has a beach rental service right on-site (seasonal). From the unit/balcony is a peek-a-boo view of the ocean.

SHOPPING AND DINING
With lots of shopping nearby, you'll have plenty of opportunities to find that perfect souvenir, gift, or a way to spend time away from the beach. The condo is a short drive to the Harborwalk Village, Destin Commons, or Silver Sands Premium Outlet mall in Miramar Beach. You will have no problem finding that special gift with many nationwide brand names, movie theaters, and dining options. Everything you need is nearby, and Destin offers so many different recreational activities that there is something for everyone in the family.

When the hunger bug strikes no need to worry, Destin is full of fabulous restaurants, including The Back Porch, Boathouse Oyster Bar, Dewey Destin Seafood, Boshamps, and Cracklings, to name a few. Don't want to fight the crowds? Once again, Silver Shells have just the answer for you. Ruth's Chris Steakhouse is located right on-site and is one of the finest restaurants in the area!

Not interested in going out to dinner. Silver Shells also offers a very nice grilling space on the Lanai Deck. (Gas Grills)

Stay at Picture Perfect

Our stay was good. The description of the condo was a bit deceptive in my opinion. You can only see glimpses of the water through a couple of buildings. In the description it said that this condo was a three bedroom, it is a two bedroom with two bathrooms. During the afternoon, you have to keep the curtains closed because the sun heats the bedrooms. The bedrooms still get pretty warm with the curtains closed. The first day, the washer leaked and they replaced it very quickly. Overall, we had a great stay.

Beautiful property & condo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & it was central to everything including the pool & beach. We enjoyed St Croix and the reserved parking close to the elevator was perfect. Only complaint would be that we only had 4 in our party but if there had been 6 which it holds there would not have had enough towels. We were only supplied one roll of toilet paper per bathroom for 4 days so we had to find a maid to get more. I contacted the property manager by text a couple of times for small things but they never answered. Other than that it was a perfect stay. My husband who is usually picky loved the place.

Fun resort

We stayed here as we were in Destin for a baseball tournament. The resort had a lot of amenities that make the stay a lot easier. The pool was big and fun for the kids to play in. There is also a tiki bar that serves drinks and small bites. They serve you at the pool and beach. The pool only has umbrellas around the tables at the pool. We were hoping the chairs would have umbrellas too to help stay cool. You cannot set up your own umbrellas at the beach. The chairs were really expensive to rent but you can either rent chairs or walk down the beach and set up an umbrella there. The gym was great! They had a cardio gym with treadmillls, row machine, gym with a lot of options to use. The pickleball courts were a lot of fun. Lots of restaurants and stores nearby. We wouls stay here again.

Amenities Galore

This property was clean and accessible. It was in the heart of Destin, close to everything that Destin has to offer. It was close to fun for the whole family. On property you had a choice of several pools, beach access, pickleball, tennis, a gym. For an additional cost you could go to the spa and rent beach chairs and umbrellas. There is a quaint ice cream shop and fun beachside restaurant close enough to walk to. We also ate in several nights with access to a kitchen with most tools required and grills on the patio below. There is some noise from a nearby airport but with all patio doors closed that was minimal. Highly recommend this property!

Condo was nicely decorated. The pool was great! The walk to beach was good. Restaurants close by. No trouble checking in or out. Very nice overall. Would’ve liked to have had salt/pepper provided, an information booklet and recommendations on things to do and places to go. Otherwise very nice.

Spring Break fun

The resort and room were exactly as pictured and advertised. We had everything we needed. We would stay here again. Perfect location, pools and tiki bar, gym and tennis courts were our favorite. The sleeping arrangements were great for our family of 5. The parking garage was so convenient. The only thing I would suggest are some extra hooks inside to hang towels to dry and reuse.

Family beach vacation

We enjoyed our stay. The place was just as pictured. The beach is close and easy to access. My only complaint was our door code to enter our room changed twice. We got home at 10 pm one evening to realize we couldn’t get in and had to call to get it changed. No one answered of course since it was after hours. There were a few moments of panic before someone quickly called us back and resolved the issue.

Loved it!

Loved this place! The location was convenient, parking was easy, proximity to the elevator was close (but not too close that you got noise), and the walk to the pool and beach was short. The unit itself was clean, well kept and thoughtfully appointed. Communication from the property management company was fantastic leading up to our stay and during the course of our trip. I rarely leave reviews, but this place definitely deserves praise. We would definitely stay there again.

Very nice. Beautiful view. The property managers gave us the wrong code to get into the building. Called them and left a message around 5pm. They didn’t call back for an hour. Check in was 4pm. In the description it says the health club is part of the amenities. It is across the street. Well it is but across a busy street and probably need to drive. Not as close as it sounds. Never went since it seemed a lot of trouble.
