Play in the emerald green waters of the Gulf! Beach front property

Located on the second floor of the penthouse building, this is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit 23 with a king bed in the master bedroom and a walk in shower. 2 double beds in the second bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Step outside to the balcony to enjoy magnificent sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Listening to the sounds of the wave’s crash on the beach is the ideal way to end a perfect day in Destin. A Short 75 yard walk to beach through a manicured courtyard and you will be playing in the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico! Centrally located to the pool, game room, coin laundry, and BBQ grills.


Beach Service – If you didn’t pre-reserve beach chairs, just stop by the beach hut or call the Excel team at In addition to chairs and umbrellas, Excel offers kayaks and paddle boards for rent, as well as an assortment of snacks and drinks.
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!
Grilling Out – In the busy months of spring and summer, many families opt to grill out rather than go out. We have eight charcoal grills available. There are several seafood markets nearby, including Blalock’s which is just a block to the west (p.s., their tuna dip is a must try!).
Fitness Center – Did you know we have a fitness center in the Penthouse building? Just stop by the front desk to borrow the key.
Family Activities – There’s always something fun on the itinerary at Silver Dunes:
• Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Courtyard – Easter Sunday, 9 am in the courtyard
• Scavenger Hunts – Throughout the Spring – for children of all ages! Just stop by the office to pick up your scavenger hunt necessities. Once you’ve collected everything, stop back by the office to pick a surprise from the Silver Dunes treasure chest!
• 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

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Took a week long family vacation to Destin. We like to go to different places every vacation and have stayed in some very nice condos in the past. Silver dunes was just OK was not our first choice but was the ono e I could get for a decent price on a short notice. It was not very clean we pulled out the sofa bed and it still had a fitted sheet on it that was stained. The pool could get a little crowded in the evening but was nice most of the time. The grassy area was nice so the kids could run and play even though we didn’t use it much. Best part was being right on the beach and having a private beach area with a small condo. Everyone loves the beach service but I find it to be pain since I have no need for their chairs all I get to look at is a bunch of blue umbrellas and chairs unless I want to pay a lot of money for someone to set it up for me in the morning.Over all it was a good time for the kids but I would not recommend staying here if you have another option.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming since 1985. The grounds this year were not up to par. The grass was not green and the gardens looked unkempt. Our condo was pretty clean. Was a little upset about not being informed about toilet paper and garbage bags. Also did not know about what to do with dirty towels.

We had a nice stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the condo, it was very clean and comfortable and the beach can’t be beat it is fantastic. We did have a few miscommunications though . We couldn’t get into the gate when we arrived at the condo at 6:30 pm as we were not given the code. In the directions we were told not to arrive until after 4:00 and there was no one in the security booth to let us in. We later found out that they change the code every week which is crazy. Also we were sent an email that if we wanted beach chairs to contact a person about that. Nowhere was it stated that there was a cost. When we arrived at the beach we were told that the cost was $440 dollars for the 2 weeks. It’s $40 a day plus tax. We decided not to do that and went to the store and bought our own chairs. If chairs are not included that should be stated when we rented the condo so we would have known ahead of time.
Stayed 14 nights in May 2021

Great vacation at a reasonable price on the beach

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: Close as you can get to the beach for a vacation and not break the bank. Remolded units with updated facilities in the unit to meet a family’s need. King size bed and two queen beds. Couch makes a bed but did not use. Plenty of living space to lounge in. Also adequate eating space and large kitchen. Two bathrooms. Sleeps 4-8 easily if you have young kids. Beach staff were very accommodating and were easy to meet our every need.

Walk out to the beach, pool, close to restaurants

This condo is in a good location with walk out to the beach, a nice pool, and close proximity to restaurants and amusement areas. The one thing i would improve is minor but 9 am checkout is a bit early? Thanks!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!

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 have been coming to Silver Dunes since 1976...or atleast my family has been coming for that long. I have been coming for the past 37 years consecutively. I have never been to Destin at the first of the year, in January, but I loved it and will continue to start the new year this way for as long as I can. My husband and I came for a few days just to relax and recharge before starting another year. We loved it and will be back again.
