Tennis, Basketball, Pickleball, and Shuffleboard – Forget your gear? No worries, you can check out rackets, balls, and more at the front desk at no charge!

• Movies in the Courtyard – Bring a picnic blanket, your beach chairs, and join us on Mondays at dusk throughout June and July. We show a different family-friendly movie each week.
• S’mores Nights with Live Music at the Pool –Wednesday nights are awesome at Silver Dunes! Throughout June and July, the firepits will be out, s’mores roasting, and tunes playing!

Silver Dunes D101 June 2024

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 40th year at Silver Dunes for summer vacation. We finally got our requested straight line in our beach set-up (8 sets), and so very thankful for that. This made this year even more special than the past few. We're very happy with Unit D101 and it well equipped with pretty much everything we need...and then some. We usually bring our own 3-shelf units for each bathroom to make room for all our 'stuff', and we were happy to see that the owners had put a permanent shelf in them. I would like to suggest, though, that a second one be installed so we wouldn't still need to put in our own. (I'm quite sure no one else likely does this...I just like a bit more order)! We really love Silver Dunes and hope to continue coming for several more!

The perfect complex!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first year to Destin. I was very particular about finding the perfect complex for my young family with two toddlers. This complex checked off all of our boxes. Great location, no high rises, easy PRIVATE beach access, and a pool! The front office is great to work with and very kind. Our condo was clean and exactly as expected. We will be back!

Great Location Near Pool

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was very convenient to the pool (so close that our baby monitor could reach during nap time) and an easy walk to the beach. It was clean and seemed well taken care of. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for nights cooking. A few cons: beds were not the most comfortable; the TV in the 2nd bedroom would never power on- we called maintenance but it wasn't addressed; the patio furniture was not very sturdy; the coffee pot under the sink was shattered when we went to use it the first day, but there is a Keurig option as well. Overall, we would stay here again. It is very similar to other units this floorplan at Silver Dunes.

Silver Dunes D101 June 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 39th year at Silver Dunes and we've loved every one of them. Not at all happy with the new beach service, though. Hate the U-shapes. We all want front row, and sitting sideways or way back is NOT front row.

Beach Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had decided on a last minute beach vacation and I had looked everywhere for a condo for what must have been the most popular weekend in June for a vacation. As luck may have it, Silver Dunes had two Condo's available and I booked them. We had never stayed with Silver Dunes so we didn't know what to expect. To our surprise we absolutely loved it and enjoyed two beautiful days on the beach and sitting out on our patios in the evening. It was just what we needed! We will be back for sure!!! The rooms are very comfortable and well furnished. We are now Big Fans of Silver Dunes!

Silver Dunes #D101 June 2020

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Always have a great time at Silver Dunes. Don't particularly like the towel exchange situation (or lack thereof), especially when we have to use our own money to launder them. The unit is fine except 1) the sofa is not comfortable at all, 2) needs queen beds in guest room instead of fulls, and 3) the type of table/chairs in dining area is awkward. It would also be nice to have an additional single chair or two in living area.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the rental experience was very good. My only complaint was the state of the kitchen when we arrived. There was food all over the counters, stovetop, and the microwave was very dirty as well. I had to clean it before even putting anything down in the kitchen. When we had an issue with the shower/tub draining the first day, someone came very quickly and fixed the problem. We were very appreciative. The location was great! Beds were very comfortable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Silver Dunes and always excited to return each year...this is our 37th year. Our only negative this year is with the new Excel Beach Service. They are nice folks, but very disappointed in their service...or lack thereof. Not at all like the service we received our first 35 years there.
