We loved the time out on the balcony getting to soak in the view of the ocean and the sunsets. I loved all of the cute decorations and all of the items available in the kitchen. The laundry room was so nice to have! The kids loved the additional beach toys stored in the closet. We loved how close the condo was to the beach and having a smaller more private pool to swim in. The resort is conveniently close to multiple stores and restaurants. The beach was absolutely gorgeous with soft, white sand. This was the perfect place to spend a family vacation!"

We loved the location--very short walk past the pools to the beach. We visited the beach chair rental hut when we arrived and rented chairs/umbrellas for our stay, and that was money well spent. We really appreciated having the Sand Bar (small bar/grill right on the beach) at our disposal. We ate lunch there almost every day of our stay. No need to even put on shoes. 🙂 The Back Porch is also a very short walk across a side street, and we really enjoyed our dinner there. We would stay here again in a heartbeat."

The condo was clean, updated, and very well decorated. We were in town for a baseball tournament so we ate in the condo a lot. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed. The washer and dryer, which we used a lot, was new and worked very well. The balcony was bigger than expected and had a nice table, chairs, and a lounger. Both bedrooms had heavy, black out curtains so it was still dark in our both rooms no matter what time we woke up. Both bathrooms were updated and nice.
The resort itself is very secure, and we loved having the garage parking. Our boys enjoyed the huge, resort pool and beach access was easy and convenient. We were in town during a very busy time, but Silver Shells never felt too crowded, and we didn’t have to wait for elevators as we have experienced in other condos. We would definitely recommend a stay at St Lucia 802!"

"Fantastic Stay!! - I stayed for the entire month of November and it was lovely! My daughter gave me this stay as a Mother's Day present and it was everything I could have hoped! My daughter and her family came and stayed in the additional room for one week of the stay (the week of Thanksgiving), but besides that, it was me and my husband (he only came for part of the time b/c he had to work). The location is perfect and the beach is beautiful!! I will definitely be back!!"

"Great place - Overall, Everything was great! The jets in the tub in the master bath did not look cleaned and when they were turned on, they unfortunately shot out Black mold. The tub itself appeared clean though And likely is Just not used often. Minus that, everything was fantastic! Very clean otherwise. a good size patio with a clear view of the ocean. Close to a lot of fun activities too!"

"Loved it! - This condo is adorable! Full of natural light with a beautiful view. Nice beach decor. The fridge made me jealous as did the master bath with jetted tub. Excellent outdoor patio. Overall it was perfect for our family of four. The beds were decently comfortable but nothing amazing. Both king size. Pull out couch. Short enough of a walk to the PRIVATE beach (for residents and guests of the property) which was definitely ideal for social distancing. The kitchen was fairly stocked, there was not anything that I wanted that wasn’t there with the EXCEPTION OF salt and pepper and sharp knives. There were knives but they were quite dull. Plenty of nice dishes. The luggage trolley is key for groceries and luggage but we had to ask for them as they are in the garage and not the lobby. Ideally this info would be in the welcome email. Only other complaint is there was NO hand sanitizer stations by elevators, etc. I carry my own so it was ok, but it would be nice if they had some appropriately located.
All in all we had a great time and I would stay here again without a doubt. In fact, I didn’t want to leave."

"Great vacation - Love the property and location . Condo well appointed and comfortable .
Have only 2 recommendations:
1. CLeaning crew needs to do better job, I am sure owners are paying them for this
2. Rowdy packs of teens without parents all over propertY , clearly under influence & jumping Into pool at 1 am or laying on elevator floor . We had kids with us and listening my 12 yo son describe what I saw myself was not part of the family vacation I planned for. We have stayed at this property before and It was not problem in past . Hope that property HOA will implement stricter rules so families with kids are able to enjoy their vacation . Certainly would love to come back but not if it continues to be “ spring break party” destination for teens"

This was our first time staying at silver shells but definitely won’t be our last! We can’t wait to come back! My only complaint is the king bed in the master is not very comfy and the pillows aren’t much better. But we went to Walmart and bought pillows so that was an easy fix! 🤗 if you have children this is the place for you so many accommodations on property and very easy accessible"

"Absolutely Beautiful! - This property was gorgeous...likely the nicest place we have ever stayed. The unit was immaculate upon arrival. The owners thought of everything...right down to kid plates and a booster seat. Our 3 year old daughter had a blast! The Silver Shells pools and other amenities were wonderful. We will absolutely be returning to Destin and staying here again. Only issue was with beach chairs/umbrella. The rental was not included however the owners had two beach chairs available for use. The resort does not allow personal umbrellas but you can just rent an umbrella for $25 each day...not a major thing just good to know in the future."
