Had a great time renting this condo. It is in very good condition and close to the ocean and pool plus being on the first floor was a bonus. This is our 4th year in a row going to Silver Dunes and this condo is definitely one of the best. Great vacation!

Wow, could not have been more pleased with this unit! It was modern and clean and gorgeous. I’ve stayed at Silver Dunes around 6 times/years and this was by far the best unit. Everything felt freshly renovated and new and decorated fun and bohemian. They thought of so many small details as well which we loved. It was so kind to include games/coloring books/crayons under the TV. Do wish the mattress was up to par with the rest of the place, it is wornnnn and wonky lol. But we managed. We will only be reserving this unit from here on out!

We love Silver Dunes and this ground floor unit. It’s nicely updated and so convenient to the pool, field to play, and beach. This was our second time staying in this unit and we will probably rebook again. Our only complaints- the primary bedroom bed is very uncomfortable and there is no storage in kitchen like several other units. Also, we would love the ability to have an earlier check in time. The cleaning crew was running behind.

This private, gated property was perfect for my family. It was clean and had everything we needed upon arrival. The only thing I didn't care for was that the community laundry room closed at 10pm. Not anything against the property, just my preference. Over would definitely recommend this property.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our first time to Destin and we loved it. Our cousins go every year and we expanded the vacation to have even more family join in. Silver Dunes is a great oasis in the middle of a crowded area and makes the stay in that area worth it. The direct access to the grass area in the middle of the complex that opens out to the beach is perfect. The chair service on the beech is a great option that makes the experience even more relaxing. Our unit was nice but needed basic repairs to make it great. The toilet ran all night and we had to turn it off every night so it wouldn’t keep us up. The refrigerator also leaked water and the hot and cold water in the shower was reversed. The maintenance team was responsive but couldn’t fix the issues while we were there. The unit was clean, well stocked and was priced well, so not really complaining. Overall I give Silver Dunes a B+ and we will be coming back.

Reviewer Comments:
Overall it was wonderful. However the water preasure in both showers were more like a trickle, and you had to fidget with the faucet in the hall bathroom shower in order to get hot water. There were 4 chairs on the patio, one was broken before we arrived, and one broke when one of us sat in it early on. So, 5 adults were limited to 2 patio chairs during our stay. The condo was clean for the most part, but evident that a thorough cleaning had not been done in some time.

We had a fabulous visit to Silver Dunes Condominium this summer. Our accommodations (102D) were perfect -- everything was comfortable, clean, tastefully decorated, and we had all the kitchen and other supplies we needed. We hope to stay there again next summer and we appreciate all the effort that has gone into this unit.

Our family - children, spouses & grandchildren - 14 of us all occupy 4 condo units at Silver Dunes and we gather in Unit 102 (the grandparents unit) for meals, visiting & playing games. Often we sit together out on the lawn in front of 104. This unit is beautifully furnished with comfortable furniture and it location is directly on the green-grass courtyard, close to the pool and only a short walk to the sugar-white sandy beach and blue gulf waters.
