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

Beautiful Property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this unit! The kitchen is a little tight if more than one person is trying to do something, but very well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the location with the courtyard for the kids to play and an easy walk to the beach. We will be looking at reserving this unit again. The washer and dryer is a bonus!

20+ year visitor

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Prices keep going up but services and condition of condos are going down. Dirty dishes in cabinet/drawers. Floors were nasty and had cookies still under ottoman and chair. Roach in bathroom. (I bought spray and sprayed the whole condo)Price of beach chairs has skyrocketed but don’t re-angle umbrellas for afternoon sun or turn flats to face sun in the afternoon. Check in is at 4 but usually have to wait on one of our rooms to be ready. Love the location and the courtyard and the ease of going to the beach!

D105

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming here for over 20 years. We love the family feel with the courtyard for playing games. But, the prices keep going up and amenities are less. Rooms are not as clean, floors specifically. No towel exchange during the week and we even have to supply our own toilet paper because there is not enough for the week.

Our Happy Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We live the condo D 105 at Silver Dunes. It is a perfect place for a week at the beach. The condo is beautifully decorated and has a washer & dryer. We go with a large group every year and everyone agrees that we have the best condo. It is on the ground floor which is especially important to us. The walk to the beach is close as well. We wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Destin. The courtyard and pool allows our group a place to gather in the evenings. It is a perfect beach experience!

Best vacation spot ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about this spot is awesome! So close to the beautiful beach. The condo is so nice! Plenty of room. Comfortable beds! Very updated features throughout the condo. Close to everything in Destin. I can’t think of how it could be any better. Another unique feature is the grassy area right outside the cond. The kids played catch and frisbee. Also George, the gentleman in charge of the beach chairs and umbrellas, was very helpful! This is a special place!

LOVE this one!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Experience was great. Although the first 2 days the AC wasn't working, but they fixed it and was enjoyable the rest of our stay. The only down side is that with George being there, the silver dunes part of the beach was not just silver dunes people. I know it's hard to get people to leave, but I feel like the beach service crew should have anyone that is not staying at SD should not be allowed to park their chairs and stuff right in front of guests. (This was our experience one day). There were a few other days that we noticed people creeping in on the edge of the property line, but did not bother us. Just noticed.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in one unit for Jan, but wanted a washer/dryer. Management allowed us to move to this unit in Jan - Mar departure. It was a great unit with all needed amenities.
