Really great property!
Really loved this unit. We’ve stayed at several at Silver Shells and this was among our favorites. I feel like the pictures undersold the unit. Newly finished bathrooms and kitchen, comfortable furniture and nice patio furniture. Also, the beds and pillows were comfortable and the showers had great water pressure! Silver Shells is great because it’s an easy walk to the beach and the pool is big enough that, even when it’s crowded you can find some space to chill. Really great property and unit, would definitely stay here again!

Perfect place to stay!
This condo is amazing!! It is one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. It is very clean and well maintained. The entire property is well managed and maintained! Will certainly stay here again. But next time, I will take my own beach towels…which would be my only negative. And that’s not really a negative. But when flying, it is difficult to add those to the luggage.

Great property!
What struck me most about our stay at this property was the excellence of the property management group. Their costumer service was absolutely stellar! If we had any questions or problems they were quick to respond and resolve them! This is so much the case that for my next vacation to Destin, I will first look at properties managed by Compass Resorts. It terms of the property itself, it was great! The location was perfect as it was right on the beach. The daily beach amenity of chais & umbrella was an added bonus. We did not spend any time at the beautiful pool because it was too crowded for our comfort giving the status of the pandemic and that my kids weren’t yet able to be vaccinated. The pool is shared by 5 buildings which explains the number of families enjoying it. The unit was adequately sized for our family of 4, although I wish the second bedroom had 2 beds instead of one king. However, they provided plenty of bed linens for the sofa bed. Assigned parking for the unit in the garage was right at the door and carts were available for easy transport of luggage and groceries. And speaking of groceries, the kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook and live there for a week. Something unique (to me) about this property was that there were only 4 units per floor by the elevator on each side. That meant it was no problem with overcrowded elevators. Since COVID, we have only stayed in private houses so we didn’t have to interact too much with people outside of our bubble. This building setup was perfect for that. Overall I loved this property and would definitely return!

Beautiful view with great logistics
This was the best parking lot to room logistics I have experienced on a beach trip. The assigned parking spot is 50ft from the elevator and the room is 30 ft once you get to the 5th floor. The view over the pool to the ocean is very nice. Some of the bathroom tile and fixtures are a little 90's but very clean and we'll kept. I would highly suggest this unit!

Beautiful view, clean, comfortable, convenient location, friendly staff on site and at Compass.
We have stayed at Silver Shells in Destin many times. Compass has been the most pleasant realty company we have ever used for renting any beach properties. Sliver Shells is an excellent location for shopping and trips to site see other beaches. Our room was very clean, which is one of the first things I check when entering a rental. The view was amazing, and just the calming break needed. I highly recommend Silver Shells and Compass Realty.
