    Cozy robes for you and your guests during your stay
    Kristy A.

    Absolutely the BEST SPA IN DESTIN! Skip the overpriced spas at the other resorts and get allll your moneys worth with quality and staff that are passionate about satisfaction during your stay at Silver Shells Spa. Marsha was the best massage therapist on site. She took her time during our visit to really concentrate on my exact needs for my custom 50 minute massage. I have had massages by therapists all over the world from Mongolian therapists to world renown brands in the US and other resorts in the Caribbean and I have to say I have NEVER HAD such an amazing custom massage as the one provided by Marscha at Silver Shells Spa. I cannot wait to go back and visit Destin again and get a massage at Silver Shells Spa. Please see my photos and hit the thumbs up button if you like the other amenities this spa has to offer during your stay.

    We have stayed here twice and loved it. We love being at the resort, different pools, on the beach, and so many ways to books. There are so many condos to choose from. We booked through compass reality. It included 2 chairs and an umbrella beach rental so no extra cost. You can use your own chairs but you can't put your own umbrellas up for safety reasons. Our condo had a great view and is by the main pool. When you book check the view to get a better idea of where it is on the property. Huge bonus... this resort is basically across from Walmart so you can get groceries, not drive far to grab them. I can't say enough good about here!

    Overall our stay was okay. We were in St. Croix 1204. The condo had some wear and tear which I expect from beach properties but the master bathroom shower tiles need replacing and the light fixture over the toilet was dirty and very dusty. The beds were very squeaky. The balcony doors did not lock. Most importantly the unit smelled like fish every day and we could not locate the source. I'm not sure if something was in the owners closet but it smelled bad and we constantly sprayed air freshener to mask it. The air conditioner being stuck on 75 and not lowering past 71 was uncomfortable. The beach service and pool were great. Lastly, please provide fresher linens in the future. The bedding was rough.

    This place is a dream!!! It was just a short walk to the white sand and emerald green ocean! There was a large size pool,hot tub, and kiddie pool. A beach bar with chair,umbrella, and drink service. Free inter tube usage for the beach.You can rent a cabana for pool/beach usage,which was great to keep the kids beach toys in overnight as well as drinks and snacks.The condo was awesome!! Beach views and all three rooms have patio access. The condo was clean. Cardio center. Weight room. Basketball and tennis court. Ruth Chris steakhouse is also at the resort. We had the best family vacation here!

    Although I was never contacted, the resort redeemed themselves and did refund my deposit.

    TV's could stand to be updated in our condo, but that is minor compared to how amazing the place is overall.

    Was not impressed with a few things here. The first being the carpet in our room. If you aren't…read morewilling to have the carpets cleaned, then remodel with wood or tile floors. You have sand, humidity, age, and stains everywhere - recipe for disaster in terms of this carpet. I hated having to wear shoes inside our room due to being grossed out. While in the bedroom, i had a cockroach crawl over my foot, and I was incredibly disgusted. The facility is obviously older, but the carpet situation needs to be addressed for sanitary reasons. Other than that, great beach access, and private chairs/umbrella are provided. Helpful staff, and great balcony view. Everything else was clean.

    My family has been going to these condominiums since we first started vacationing to Destin in…read more1997. Throughout the years I've stayed in almost every condo on the first floor, and 209 and 211 on the second floor. Every time it has been wonderful. Check in is at 4, which is kind of late. But if you show up early and your room has already been cleaned and inspected they will almost always allow you in. The front desk staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I've never had a bad experience with them. They always greet you with a smile and are super kind. Almost every condo has a king size bed, 2 bunk beds, and a pull out couch, so you can easily fit 6 comfortably. There is a full kitchen with cookware, 2 bathrooms, and one shower. From the living area there's a back porch that overlooks the gorgeous powder white sand and emerald coast. You're provided with 2 chairs and an umbrella. On the first day you go to the beach you can reserve your spot for the week so I would recommend getting to the beach early the first morning. There's also a pool and hot tub in the complex for when you need a break from the beach. One huge plus of staying here is that there is only 3 stories. The beach area behind Destin Beach Club is reserved for only residents so the beach is never overly crowded at this condo. Since you're right on scenic highway 98, you're close to everything there is to see and do in Destin. There's a plethora of restaurants, souvenir shops, and shops. You're also right next to the Destin harbor and all the new things it has to offer. Because of the great staff, amenities, view, and less crowded beach area, I would definitely recommend Destin beach club to anybody who is traveling down to Destin. Absolutely love this place, so many happy memories. Can't wait to be back!

    So here's all the details- we are Wyndham owners. This property is different than others…read more The room. They charge you for any housekeeping and don't allow you (for safety reasons) to borrow a mop etc. bring your own cleaning materials. It's obvious people don't cook because the cookware is awful! The room wasn't as clean as it should've been when we arrived, despite smelling clean. Our feet turned black and we do not wear shoes in the room- they come off at the door. The pictures give you a false impression that the resort is on the beach. It's not. In fact, it's located in the most touristy area of Destin and you have to take a shuttle to get to a beach or drive. The hotel beach is a joke. No restroom, no waves- just sand and sea water. There a significantly nicer beaches and water just a few minutes drive away. The Wyndham. It's standard for them to chase you down to attend a meeting, but the rewards are minimal. The pool- that's a joke too. Constantly dirty. Why? Because it's entirely too small for the vast hotel. There are not enough chairs. Towels- they give you a card to exchange for a towel. Lose it and it cost you $25. This doesn't scream luxury, more like cheap! At night you hear the party people down below. Here's what we liked. Our room. We had a 3 bedroom and despite finding someone's fake nail and candy wrappers, it was spacious with an incredible patio. Our view was perfect for the fireworks. Will we stay again- nope. Would we come again to this part of Florida, perhaps because the beaches- Miramar beach and Henderson state park beach were unbelievable! We would pay rather than stay here again. Wyndham- do better.

    First off, we booked through Hotels.com which we found out the hotel will not support and it was…read moreunder a different hotel name. We drove around looking for Harbor Suites and finally went into Emerald Grande and they said, "yes this is the hotel!" We booked a suite for 3 adults and 3 children through hotels.com in Dec. 2025. Our confirmation states, "luxury room, multiple beds, balcony." When we checked in we stated we had 3 adults and 3 children. We were given a room in Harbor Suites. The room was not a suite! It had 2 beds for 6 people! We called down to the front desk and were told there was nothing they could do about it and all other rooms were booked for the night. We asked for rollaways and was told you don't provide them. So that meant 2 people in our party were to sleep on the floor!!!! I went down to the front desk with our confirmation and was told because it was booked by a third party, there was nothing they could do. After another discussion with the woman at the front desk, she said there was nothing available and nothing she could do. I said, "We need to solve this problem. How can we come to a solution?" The woman at the front desk said I could pay for another room. At this point I was done arguing and said, "If that is all you can offer, then I will have to pay for an additional room." Which I did and was given another room in Harbor Suites. When my 8 year old grandson entered the bathroom of this room, a bra was found hanging on the back of the door! The front desk called and said a woman had left it in the room after changing into her swimsuit and she wanted it back. So the woman and someone from the front desk came up to the room to retrieve the bra. So we were given a room someone else had occupied and no one from the hotel went back into the room to see if it was ok to reassign. We were appalled by this. Is this the kind of quality you approve in your resort? I was done dealing with the front desk and chose to write this letter instead. We were offered a $25 credit to one of the restaurants, but does this really compensate for the bad experience we had? And we don't understand why you push the blame to the third party booking company? Why do you continue to allow this third party to offer your rooms if there are continual problems? As a consumer, it appears both businesses were at fault, not the hotel guest. What a great location with many nice amenities. However, we cannot recommend this resort after our terrible experience.

    Loved everything about our stay at Sandpiper Cove: beach access, tennis, golf, pet-friendly,…read morerestaurants, grocery and other shopping nearby, easy parking & quiet. There's two sides to Sandpiper Cove: - The gulf side has a surprising number of beach front units & Rick's Sand Trap Beach Bar & Grill. It's has a private entrance that requires a code to enter by foot or by car. - The larger area of Sandpiper Cove is just a quick walk across Gulf Shore Drive & has all the pools, tennis & pickleball courts, 9-hole golf course & putting greens as well as the restaurant (Louisiana Lagniappe). That side also has a gated entrance. Most security guards seemed friendly checking car tags & waving guests in. BEACH: The private beach access with chairs, umbrellas and a snack shack was so convenient. The chairs/umbrella perk seems to be dependent on the individual condo owners so make sure check your condo's listing to see what's included. BONUS: We spotted a pod of dolphins our first morning- there had to be at least 6-10 swimming around so close to the shore. Our particular unit seemed to be recently renovated with a nice kitchen, new & well maintained appliances, comfy beds and decent size patio which was fenced in so our dog could walk around too. We were in the larger area of SPC & only a few buildings over from the security gate so that translated to a quick a 5 min walk to the beach! The location was perfect especially when we decided last-minute to try to catch the sunrise & sunsets. PETS: Welcome in some units & the fee is very reasonable. Guests must present current shot records at the security gate when checking in. My pup was even issued her own Sandpiper Cove resort band (so cute!); the tag isintended to go on your dog's leash. Units vary by owner so it really depends on what you want & need: upstairs or downstairs, quicker access to: golf, tennis, pickleball, beach, pools, hot tubs. Overall, recommend SPC & would stay here again.

    This is a great place to stay if you are coming to Destin. It is walking distance to the beach…read more They are gated and have security at the gate so that you feel safe. There is also a pool, pickleball court, the Sand Flea and Louisiana Lagniappe. The room I stayed in was clean, and there plenty of amenities too!
