First of all, this is a HUGE resort and each unit has different levels of upgrades and updates. The unit we rented was fully updated and very nice with an outstanding view of the gulf. (St. Martin 1407) We loved watching the sunrise and sunset from patio. We could also see large fish and stingrays. There was seating for all 8 of us on the patio to enjoy the amazing view. Overall nice building and we enjoyed the gym, pickle ball and basketball court. Here are the cons: - It's odd that there were no beach chairs or toys in our condo or the office to borrow for your stay. There are chairs to rent for $55. I did see some condos had them in the garage space though. - The water in our unit tasted and smelled like chlorine - leaving three of us with upset stomachs until we could buy water. We were able to drink from the water fountain in the lobby and that water tasted good. - There were very little notes/instruction left in our condo for how to navigate this large resort. The map we got upon entry was not detailed. It was frustrating when we arrived. Where do we park? Where is the fitness center and what are the hours? How do we borrow pickle ball or basketball equipment? Where is the office? Where do we eat? Get coffee, etc? How do we use TV?- The pool is advertised as 'heated' but it was COLD. I'm thankful that the hot tub was fairly large! There were some little things the owners/management could do to make a 5-star experience. I did find out that you could go to the main office (by Ruth Chris steakhouse), and they allow you to borrow pickle ball equipment and a basketball. It would be awesome if they allowed you to checkout chairs or beach toys and bikes. It would also be nice if they sold coffee! The coffee shop next door doesn't open until 10. Overall, we had a nice week. The highlight was the view and being able to watch the sunrise and sunset from the patio.

This was such a great experience! We were all amazed that the elevator opened up into our condo. Definitely a great family vacation spot.

The condo is great. Excellent view and it had all we needed for our stay. However, the living room furniture was not the most comfortable for me. It could stand to be replaced. Also the mattress in the primary was worn but fairly comfortable. We have stayed at Silver Shells for several years and love the location. We will be back.

So I personally have not stayed here. But hear me out. I take care of the landscape and I will say from the gate guards to the pool guys and everyone in between are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Great place to work at with these wonderful people so I'd assume that the rooms themselves are well kept and the views are awesome. I mean it is Destin Florida.Walkability: Many restaurants and beaches for you to enjoy. Along with shopping down the road.Food & drinks: Bars are decent priced.

The views are beautiful and the beach is superb. The pool is huge and very well kept. The entire grounds is always clean. Perfect.

This is one of the best locations on the island. The private beach & pool are amazing. I feel safe with a guard at the gate, a gated fence around the property & the garage has a gate. Destin traffic can be a challenge, but this location is easy in & out.

ABSOLUTE WORST place to stay at! The rules here are just absurd especially if you have kids! I would look else where. The resort is nice and the people we rented from were great. But you have someone down your neck every second watching your every move. For as much as you spend to stay here, it’s just ridiculous! Search else where!

Loved this resort, although we booked the room through a Airbnb, not thru the resort. The location was great but under an airport flight way, so would hear loud airplanes every hour while in relaxing in the water. The tiki bar was nice to have on site but the food and drinks were not good. The place was beautiful inside, well designed and felt safe. Couldn't hear any other guests in our condo while we were there, vut not sure we had any neighbors since we went in the slow season. The beaches were beautiful and well kept and chairs and umbrellas to use. I would definitely stay here again.

We had never been to Destin before. This place blew our expectations out of the water. The condo was amazing as well as the staff. I highly recommend silver shells. I know my family will be back.
