About this property

Silver Shells St Lucia 501 - Beachfront, Heated Community Pool + Hot Tub!

Silver Shells St Lucia 501 -

The beach is calling—and so is this beachfront vacation rental! Silver Shells St Lucia 501 is a chic, fifth-floor condo located in downtown Destin. The condo has large windows and glass doors, sunny living accommodations, and cozy sleeping quarters. This lovely beach rental can host up to eight vacationers with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms.

Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a large, open great room. Sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows cover most wall space, providing sensational views and a bright ambiance. The doors open onto a wraparound balcony furnished with lounge seating and woven furniture. You will love sitting on the balcony with your fellow vacationers, enjoying the views, breezes, and a refreshing margarita. Inside, the carpeted living room includes a cream-colored couch and two blue-gray armchairs. The seating ensemble faces a flatscreen TV mounted above a credenza. Pale yellow walls and colorful accents create a beachy feel. A glass-topped dining table and five chairs sit between the living area and a wall of windows. Additional stool seating can be found at the kitchen bar. The kitchen has honey-toned cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and spacious countertops. Chefs and chefs at heart will love the space provided, making it easy to cook up tried-and-true meals or experiment with new recipes.

Like the great room, the bedrooms are warm, sunny, and welcoming. Each has large windows and doors and access to the balcony. The master suite includes a king-size bed, dark wood furnishings, a cream-colored armchair, and a wall-mounted TV. A luxury ensuite bath has a walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, and a sleek vanity. Both guest bedrooms are tropically decorated, feature king and queen-size beds, and flatscreen TVs for viewing pleasure.

Guests at Silver Shells St Lucia 501 have access to wonderful Silver Shells Beach Resort amenities. One of these is a huge outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a paver sundeck and lush tropical landscaping. Enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool, or luxuriate in the bubbling hot tub. After a freshwater soak, head over to the glistening Gulf—it’s only a one-minute walk from the property!

If you want to explore the surrounding area, there’s plenty to see and do. Downtown Destin is home to a variety of popular restaurants, bars, and shops. You will find The Back Porch and Ruth Chris Steak House within immediate proximity. If you want a treat, the Candymaker Candy Store is right there, too! Other nearby amusements include HarborWalk Village and the Destin Commons. Both offer shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities to enhance your beach vacation.

Great property, the beds/bathrooms were super comfortable, and the sheets were clean, and not stiff. The AC was cold, and it was sufficiently stocked with pots, silverware, plates etc. Great view to the pool and ocean. The pool was clean and warm. Only minor complaint was that it would be nice if there was a third fob, with eight adults it was a pain sharing and handing them off. The other gripe was with the beach, u r not allowed to use ur own umbrella. Would recommend it. Nice surprise was that there were some beach chairs supplied.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the comfortable beds and bathrooms, fresh linens, cool AC, well-stocked kitchen, and beautiful views of the pool and ocean. We’re also glad the clean, warm pool and provided beach chairs added to your experience. We appreciate your feedback regarding the third key fob and understand how challenging it can be to coordinate access among a larger group. We’ll certainly share that suggestion with our team. We’re also sorry the beach umbrella restrictions were an inconvenience, though those guidelines are set by the beach management and are outside of our control. Thank you again for recommending the property. We’d love to welcome you and your group back for another great stay!

We enjoyed the condo. Had trouble opening the balcony doors and the maintenance man promptly responded. The doors were just heavy! Furnishings were as shown. Very clean and the kitchen was well furnished.

Silver shells St. Lucia Destin

The place was great and super clean. However, when I got this space it said it slept 4 adults. I was surprised when I got there and it was 3 bedrooms. There were only 3 of us going so I ended up paying for spaces that we didn’t need. You may want to adjust the ad so you’ll open it up to more people and also not have people pay more than they need to. Because of the extra space, we had our other son and his family stay with us. Thanks

Jen, This unit has always been advertised as a 3 bedroom unit that sleeps 8 guests. Is it possible you got our unit and another unit mixed up? None the less we are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to have you again soon! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.

Beautiful grounds! The condo itself is a little dated but has alot of amenities:) Loved the pool beside of the condo. The condo was clean and had plenty of towels, the space was great for our family of eight. There was a balcony off every room. The resort was very secure but having to have a braclet with keyfob to get in and out was a little inconvenient. The location is great with several resurants within walking distance. We flew in but the condo came with 2 parking spaces. There is paking in front of the condo and under the condo. Luggage racks are in the garage. There is a gym and a sauna onsite. Walmart is less than a mile away. Would definitely recomend this condo to others.
