The location was perfect, Silver shells is next to a state park. Destin, the typical crowded beach town on the west side and natural beauty seashore on the East with easy access to suburban type stores and restaurants with easy parking. There was a night Heron hanging out at the waters edge fishing most nights and would leave when the sun came up in the morning. You have to look over the dunes for the sunrise but mornings were great on the beach and the moons reflection on the water at night was magical. We rented chairs for the beach and loved the luxury of coming and going and knowing our chairs and space was secure. If you don’t want the expense there were chairs in the condo to use. The resort was very clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The layout was perfect for two couples, it almost felt like two master bedrooms, open bright and cheery! The kitchen was well appointed and the balcony was great. The view was better than the pictures. Holly, the owner, was fabulous and available via text for any questions or concerns.We will be returning in November and June and plan on staying in this exact unit!!Boshamps for dinner was AMAZING!!!! Worth the wait Don’t recommend Back porch, it’s walkable but hot inside and mediocre food
