I absolutely loved the unit I rented last summer! It was gorgeous, very clean and newly renovated. The pool is clean and well maintained, as are the bathrooms. The common ground is also well manicured and it's a great place for kids to run around and play. You will not find a cleaner section of beach on the gulf! George and his crew do an amazing job setting up all the chairs and umbrellas each morning, cleaning up anything that washes up on shore, and they are a wealth of information on the best places to eat out, shop, or rent boats/jet skis/para sails/or any place to visit! The only thing I wish my unit had was a drying rack for hanging up beach towels. I have already booked my unit for this summer! I cannot wait for my daughters to get down there and play and swim. Another great thing about this place is that it's not crowded like you will notice at other places, it's the perfect place! My family has gone to this location for years and we will continue to go with our new growing family.

This was our first trip to Destin and we were not sure what to expect. You can never be too sure that a place will match the pictures and descriptions, so there’s always a little trepidation. Unit 206A “Little Piece of Heaven” was absolutely nothing to worry about! The condo was exactly as described and so beautiful. We had everything we could possibly need and more. The location is perfect, with easy close entrance to the beach (which was not nearly as crowded as the high rises next door). The pool was warm and well taken care of. Anytime we had questions, the owner was quick to respond. We even rented an umbrella and chairs from her storage space and it was so convenient (and cheaper than renting directly on the beach). We were also able to walk to some local places, which was nice because traffic in the area is terrible! We loved everything about it and already can’t wait to go back. Our next trip to Destin will absolutely include Silver Dunes - we won’t stay anywhere else now!

This was our first time renting from Silver Dunes. We stayed in204A which was very lovely and looks just as the pictures. The patio was very spacious and access to the beach was vey close. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend a stay at this condo. October is a lovely time of year to visit Destin.

Booked reservations begging of June for 6/26- 7/4 a week before our arrival we got an email our reservation would be cancelled due to change in management. After 3 days of calling trying to get a refund we finally talked to someone and we were able to get our money back and rebook our stay for $200 more (through new management) which was fine. A week later we finally get here and check in. We were in unit 22, the place was absolutely disgusting. We had to go out to buy cleaning supplies to clean the bathtub because it was black (some obvious wear and tear) but the water from the bathtub was dirty from it not being cleaned. The master was not vacuumed, there was chunks of mud, behind the nightstand were old water bottles, with inches of dust. The floor all over the place was dirty and hadn’t been swept nor mopped. My 10 month old found nails in the living room while crawling. We never got a welcome packet in our room so we had to be let in the gate by the security guards (they all were extremely friendly and welcoming) we called someone to at the office to get a code, she said she’ll call back and never did. The next morning we were given a code that was invalid so we go to the office and finally got a new code that worked. While we were in the office we mentioned that the unit we were in was dirty when we checked in and were told that they hadn’t cleaned nor gone into that unit that only the old management had cleaned and gone into it and not the new one. Impressive how the new management hired new housekeeping in a week. Our trip was nice except the unit we got it definitely was not worth the $1,2900

We have been coming to Silver Dunes for 20 years, but since new management took over, it has not been the same. Check is late at 4 PM and the room was still not ready. The room was dirty and did not have our welcome packet. The bathroom had mold all over the ceiling. The grounds were not picked up...debris was everywhere for the whole stay. The beach service has also gone down hill. The pool had mold all around the edge and is very out dated. We have been coming with a large family every year, usually 4 to 5 rooms and we will not be returning as the rest of our family had similar experiences.

We stayed at Silver Dunes with our family on Fall break. It is a great property with a private beach and not overcrowded. The unit we stayed in was wonderful with a gorgeous ocean view. However, the master bath was small with a door from the hall and bedroom that both opened inward to the bathroom, under sink cabinet was the only bathroom storage space (no shelving and small counter top). The second bath was nice and roomy but only a closet with no extra shelving near the mirror/tub area to hold extra bath stuff such as makeup, hair care items, etc. The bathrooms are the only complaint I would have, but will stay again because everything thing else outweighs this. The kitchen was well laid out, stocked with everything we needed. The location was perfect, in the middle of almost everything in Destin, and a few steps to the beach. They do have a nice pool area but we didn’t use it as we stayed at the beach most of the day. Love this property.

My family has been staying at Silver Dunes for the past 30 years. It is a lovely place with nice amenities and courteous staff. We have always had a great time and look forward to coming back each year. It holds many fond memories for all of my family and we have had 4 generations of family down there at once.

Great place! The beach is really nice. The pool is awesome. The place is centrally located in Destin. There are cool activities for the kids. My granddaughter has already started asking when we are going back! Definitely recommend this place and Unit 43.

I have been staying at the Silver Dunes each time I visited Destin. The condos offer unique furnishing and are always well kept. I like the idea that they do not rent to anyone under the age of twenty-five. This way you can keep out the folks that party all night and destroy ones home away from home. Naturally not all young adults are this active, but it will keep damage at a minimum compared to the mature renter. Best because its a small community of condos and the private beach location is one of the better areas on the coast. Family with children can feel safe because they offer a smaller building size as compared to the condo rentals next door. George, the beach staff is still here after so many years! He keeps the beach area and lounging chairs neat and clean. It has gotten much busier, traffic wise since my last visit. Folks are enjoying this side of the coastal area which is far better than others I have visited.

I have stayed at Silver Dunes four times now and have always been impressed. From the time you make the reservation, the office staff are very sweet and good at what they do! The location is great. It is directly on the Gulf. Don't have to cross the street! But some of the units on the property are as far as a block from the beach. They have a nice pool, small game room and small fitness center. They are also located in the heart of Destin, across the street from Waffle House and Chick Fil A and very near the Big Kahuna. The property is very secure as well. A good location for families with small children. The units are always very well equipped and very clean. I was there for my second Thanksgiving holiday with family. It was very quiet and practically had the beach to ourselves. They also have covered parking which is a hard thing to find in Destin. Elevators are conveniently located as well as luggage racks. I think once you stay here, you will always be coming back to this development. I have been going to Destin since the early 70's and this is at the top of my list. Can't beat the price for staying directly on the beach.
