Unit 004 SD

Walk right off the patio of this immaculate first floor 1-bedroom 1-bath unit to the beautiful manicured courtyard with which Silver Dunes is renowned! A short 75-yard stroll takes you right to the sugar sand beach and emerald green waters of the Gulf. The family friendly pool, coin laundry room, and charcoal grills are also just steps outside your back door. Inside, a new KING size bed is featured in the bedroom, and full-sized stainless appliances coupled with granite countertops make preparing your meals in the fully stocked kitchen a joy. Whether you (or the kiddos) need to rinse off with a powerful shower or relax with a bath, the shower-tub combo has you covered. This unit boasts attention to detail such as extra storage space in the bedroom closet, a new comfy mattress on the queen-sized sofa bed, and a refreshed bathroom with new fixtures. And unloading your luggage and groceries couldn’t be easier with several parking spots within meters of your entry door – no stairs needed. Tiled throughout, this NONSMOKING unit will sleep 4 people.

Beach Service – If you didn’t pre-reserve beach chairs, just stop by the beach hut or call the Excel team at 850-797-6123. 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!

  Chris S from Owens Cross Road, AL recommends this vacation rental

  We arrived on Monday afternoon after a VERY long drive, and I felt like I had finally made it home. The place was immaculate! Everything that you would need for a getaway was there (small appliances, utensils, towels, everything). The bed was very comfortable as was the couch in the TV room. And you are about 2-minute stroll from the beach! The neighbors that we saw were older couples and families, which is our type of crowd. I had a quick question for the owners about where to eat, and they told us about some of their favorites, and treated me like an old friend. True southern hospitality!
  We felt right at home, and if we can get away next summer, we will no doubt be staying here. It really was perfect.

  Jenny F from Pulaski, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Unit 004 SD is perfect for a couples get away, friend trip or couple with small children! The space is clean, the king bed is comfortable, and the shower has great pressure. Communication is always pleasant and in a timely manner. If you are a pool lover the pool is right out your sliding door as are out door grills if you choose to cook. The walk across the grounds to the ocean is clean, manicured and a couple of different paths to take. LOVE LOVE that there is access to a clean public bathroom within a minute from my beach chair. We have stayed here many times over the last 4 years with zero complaints.

  The unit was very nice. Small ut it worked for three adults. The pullout sofa was very uncomfortable. Only three complaints: lighting in kitchen very dim, bathroom fan needs replaced and the patio door requires great strength to open. They need a new knob to control the fridge temp too, but said maintenance they ordered one. Very happy renter!!

  Christen A from Irvine, NA recommends this vacation rental

  We decided on a very last minute trip and this condo was good for that. We had 2 adults and 2 children. It was a little smaller than we are used. Not a lot of places to sit and relax. One small loveseat and an ottoman. The bed was comfortable. Room service was excellent if we needed anything. The place was clean and decorated cute. The only downfall is we did not have beach service. We had to pay for that all week. Most condos come with beach set up and this one does not. For last minute it worked but for a longer stay I recommend for only two people not a family of four. Thanks for the great stay!

  We had a blast as usual. Air went out on Tuesday and it was a very unpleasant stay the rest of the trip. They brought us a window unit but it didn’t help much. The kids had to sleep on the floor in our room because it was so hot in the rest of the condo.

  Ann l from Memphis, TN recommends this vacation rental

  Had a fantastic 7 day stay here with my kids in Room #4 in the tower. Was happy to see that all my favorite things about Silver Dunes had not changed in 30 years, i.e., George (the best!); the blue umbrellas, the beloved courtyard, the tennis courts (my son and I played during the prestorm winds), the beach, the pool, the grills, the laundry room, an improved arcade and the nicest security guards and front desk staff. Thank you!!! It was great to be "home" and I can't wait to come back. To heck with 30A

  a guest from Navarre, Fl recommends this vacation rental

  Overall I was very happy with my stay at Silver Dunes. I live in Florida, so I am used to nice beaches but the sand in Destin is amazing. The condition of the condo was quite good. The appliances were is great shape and everything worked like it was supposed to. I had an issue with the wifi, but the maintenance team quickly fixed it. Big Kahuna's is less than a quarter mile away, and there is a cross walk directly in across from the front gate of Silver Dunes. I have already recommending this place to a friend.
