Love the resort and Compass but Unit needs updating
Silver Shells is great and St Croix is so convenient. This particular unit is a great location but the furnishings are old and outdated and the fixtures are also old and breaking down. Needs investment.

The condo was very spacious and clean.
The view from the balcony was amazing.
We stayed 4 nights.
Only suggestion for others when they book is the condo does not have any leftover items from previous guests.
You will need to get coffee filters, baggies, etc.
Also no s & p, spices etc.
Definitely not a game changer as far as booking it for next year,
The condo is fully stocked with plenty of cookware if you are cooking in the condo.
We are already talking about renting again for next year!
The property is beautifully maintained and felt very safe staying here.

Hello!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the property and had a great time with us. We can't wait to have you back!
Have a great day!
The unit was wonderful. The view is amazing! There were just a few minor blips. The dishwasher didn’t work. The 2nd bedroom’s bathroom had draining drain issues in the shower and there was spackle on the wall above a towel rack that wasn’t attached. The 3rd bedroom is extremely cold and the 4th bedroom’s ceiling fan didn’t work.
The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and pans. The overall decor is very nice. Overall, this place is a gem.

I’ve stayed at silvershells for over 20 years. This trip was shared with friends and their family. Upon arrival I was stranded in the hallway of this unit with groceries for 30 minutes because the door code was invalid and no one would answer the phone to help… the neighbors were kind enough to invite me in for coffee while they called the maintenance to open the unit During my visit with the neighbor/president of the building, I was informed that the master bathtub floods the lower unit and has been an ONGOING issue, however I was only notified 2 days prior to my stay. No upgrades to this unit whatsoever. We were evicted 2 days in (from the beach) by a swat team lined up like we were criminals without any prior notice given to me (the property renter). I was refused video of the alleged activity… AND an innocent guest of mine was blamed for the incident. 8K down the drain and silvershells didn’t give ANY consideration to my family. Literally pulled us off the beach and waited while we drove away. We were told that “our city is the worst that they’ve ever hosted and that “we” the entire city apparently needs to find a new place to stay. To say the least… I’ve never been treated so poorly by an establishment in my 52 years of life. My family did nothing to deserve this treatment. Beware when you rent from silvershells. They will take your money and throw you out without so much as a blink of an eye.

The top oven didn’t work, the room wasn’t very clean there was dust on pictures, and beds and a very old banana peel on one of the pictures in one of the bedrooms. There was a small chest that had metal that was loose on the front of it and both of my grandsons cut their foot on it. Very disappointed in the upkeep of this condition of condo from last year! The dishwasher leaked one of the toilets wouldn’t quit running the jacuzzi wouldn’t fill up properly.
I absolutely love this place and everything about it

NOt great
The Destin area is beautiful and we enjoyed the beaches, water and restaurants enormously...however we will not stay at this property again. Didn’t get in until 630 pm on Saturday, parking garage area not accessible all week, WIFI WAS HORRIBLE-non existent, unit in need of TLC. Beautiful terrace and views from the top. The managing company was very aloof when contacted about a few things...I have never written a bad review in the 20 years we have owned and or rented but felt it necessary

Beautiful home and wonderful location. We would recommend this penthouse to anyone!
This place was amazing. Very comfortable and just perfect. Watch the dolphins every morning from the balcony or the beach. Use the pool and hot tub every night. Great location and walking distance to fun restaurants. Great place to relax. It was truly perfect. Thank you!
