We have stayed all over FL, the Caribbean and the U.S. For the price paid for this condo, it was a total shame! Our unit was absolutely filthy. We had to call management to get it cleaned (it was dirty upon arrival). No towels, filthy moldy bathrooms, hair on the floor. ewww ewww ewww! Upon coming back to our room... more

We stayed here for a week for the second year in a row. However, last year we rented from the owner but this year we went through ABEC resorts. Big mistake. We stayed in unit 606 in St. Marteen and it was very dirty. The white tile in the showers were black with mildew and stained. The fan and light... more

We've stayed at Silver Shells for several trips in the spring and fall without complaint. However, I can say service has deteriorated under the current property management company, Abec. First, the side gate wasn't accessible which means only way to enter and exit is on the very busy Hwy 98 entrance. Not fun. Second, overall condition seems less resortlike than... more

This is our second year at Silver Shells. We rented from an owner at www.vrbo.com. The unit was ready at 4pm and was very nice. Luckily the rental included the beach chairs for the week. The price had been $25 a day and has increased to $40 a day. It was not a very crowded week when we were there.... more

My party stayed in the St. Croix building in a corner condo on the 6th floor. If you book here make sure you stay above the 4th floor for a view of the Gulf. The pool was large with a waterfall. The weather was cool so it was nice that the pool was heated. The grounds were well maintained. The... more

We stayed in room 201 St. Croix for spring break. We had stayed at Silver Shells for the last 3 years. We rented this condo through Crye Lieke Realty......mistake #1! When we got to the condo we were so excited to see it, but were very disappointed in the condition. The carpet was filthy, stains everywhere. The walls were chipped... more

We stayed in St. Maartin and we thought is was wonderful! We stayed in a unit on the 6th floor. We had two bedrooms that overlooked the beach. After being there for a few days, we realized that we really had the best building in the resort. It was the closest to the beach. We were more set back from... more

Very nice condo complex. Big pool plus tennis and basketball courts. There are 4 condos built. We stayed in St Lucia. It is not on the beach, which is a drawback. The place to stay is in St Thomas or St Maarten. I would be wary of the West side of St Maarten since planes seem to come pretty close... more

Our 14th annual girls' trip turned out to be a real experience that we wish not to repeat. We will not be back to Destin or the surrounding area. We booked at Silver Shells but got bumped to Silver Beach Towers. We paid for the amenities at Silver Shells but received nothing. We reserved a condo with bunk beds and... more

Stayed in a penthouse condo of the St. Lucia Building 8/12-19. The condo itself was very nice and provided what we needed. Cleaning service could do a better job on cleaning the tile floors and the bathrooms. Overall, everyone was very pleased with the condo and the cabanna (poolside room) which we also rented for the week. First customer service... more
