We absolutely loved the beach, the condo, all of it! The weather was great, according to weather reports we were supposed to have rain, but it never rained! The average temp was 80 degrees, sunny to partly cloudy! We went to a new restaurant for ever meal, my favorite was The Donut Hole! They have fantastic desserts and the cinnamon raisin cranberry apple french toast is the best breakfast I have ever eaten! We also went on the Sea Blaster for a dolphin cruise, it was a blast and we saw a plethora of dolphins! We did some shopping, swimming, tanning, went to the Gulfarium, Fuddpuckers, The Crab Trap, The Crab Shack, Angler's, spent a day at The Track, riding go carts and playing games! You name it, we did it! The view was spectacular! We spotted dolphins in the morning outside the condo! Our wedding was beautiful, the sand, the weather, everything was perfect! We were married at The Sheraton and then honeymooned at the condo. Your condo is lovely, very spacious, especially for two guests. I love the master bathroom, the jacuzzi tub was amazing and very relaxing! The shower was great, we loved the bench in the shower! We rented movies a few nights and just enjoyed the condo because it simply felt like home. We put your Monopoly game to great use while doing our laundry! I have stayed at many condos on the beach and they typically look like a rental, a little run down and a lot of sand no matter how much you clean! Your condo was absolutely spotless and there was nothing not "new" about it! We will definitely be staying with you again! The patio was so relaxing, we ate breakfast there several morning, while listening to the waves and watching the kids on the beach. I loved the fact that the beach was never over crowded, same with the pool and hot tub area. The condo is close to everything, we walked to dinner a few nights! We also love that there are only 3 condos per floor, we never heard our neighbors, it was very peaceful! I am so glad we chose your condo, I could go on for days about how much we loved it! I would recommend it to anyone!
Thanks for everything!

Almost had the beach to ourselves!

We had a great, relaxing week. The weather could have been better, but the temperature over all was wonderful and we only had one day of rain. We had too many mostly cloudy days, but managed to get some sun on Thursday and Friday.
The condo was wonderful. We spent hours on the balcony enjoying the view. It was just two of us, so the condo was more than spacious and more than met our expectations.
This vacation was much more for relaxing than exploring, so we spent lots of time at the beach, walking and enjoying the sound of the waves. My husband is a bicycle rider so he explored the area and spent some time at the state park nearby. We enjoyed how quiet it was and at times, almost had the beach to ourselves. The restaurants were fairly busy, but we never had a wait no matter where or when we went. It was perfect for us.
We ate at many great places, I think our favorite was Louisiana Lagniappe. We also had great experiences at The Back Porch (which was great walking distance), Dewey Destin Harborside, McGuire's (loved it!) and Pompano Joe's. There were so many great restaurants and so little time! We made several trips to Sexton's to load up on fresh shrimp, grouper and Royal Reds.
We had a wonderful week and it's hard get back to reality and the long Wisconsin winter ahead.
We'll keep you in mind for our next get away!

We loved the condo! Our first impression was that it seemed bigger than the pictures show. We had absolutely no rain all week. As always, we went to Pompano Joe's, The Back Porch and The Donut Hole. The ladies enjoyed shopping at the outlets and Destin Commons. Feel free to send the link as we would definitely stay again! Thanks again!
Wonderful view! Everything was perfect!

I really enjoyed the stay. Worked too much, the weather was beautiful, glad your place had a wonderful view, made me feel better about spending so much time indoors working. Ate at a few places, donut hole for breakfast, Ruths Chris one night for dinner, was not impressed (One in New Orleans is much better), Crab Trap one evening, good for all types of crab legs. We cooked at home one night, went to sextons for some seafood, had a big lobster sale, everything looks so fresh in there. Did the usual hang out at AJ's and walked around Emerald Grand. Not too many activities, I was trying to relax, I did snorkel outside the condo and played some paddleball on the beach. Everything was perfect at the condo. Overall, an excellent experience, hope you dont mind my honesty. Will definetely be in touch to stay there again.

P.S.- Loved how there were plenty of towels in the condo!

Thank you for letting us stay at your condo. We enjoyed it so much! It was beautiful! The weather was great, rained a couple of days but not enough to stop us from going to the beach. The condo was great, too! It looked just like the pictures on your website. My daughters especially liked having a bed to themselves. The master bed and bath was wonderful. So big and roomy. Wish I had the bathroom at my house! The view from the balcony was amazing! We ate breakfast and lunch there nearly every day. The breeze from the gulf was so nice, we stayed out on the balcony a lot after dark. We checked out the malls, did some shopping and saw a couple of movies. We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, Hog's Breath Saloon, Fudpuckers, Mellow Mushroom, TGIFridays, and a couple of other places. Thanks again!
Your condo was absolutely fabulous!

Well, I'm severely depressed having to be back at work after such a wonderful vacation. We only had one semi-bad weather day, which was Sunday, with the rest of the week sunny and perfect. We ate out every evening at some great restaurants including: The Back Porch, Crab Trap, Bonefish Grill, Harbordocks, and one of my favorites, McGuire's Pub. We spent one day in Panama City and took the kids to a Pirate boat called The Sea Dragon. We all really enjoyed that! They even pulled up a treasure chest from the bottom of the ocean that was filled with toys and candy for the kids. We enjoyed the new Harborwalk area and had drinks at Pat O'Brien's, watched the fireworks show Thursday night and checked out what the fishing boats brought in. All in all it was a great trip.
Your condo was absolutely fabulous! The location and views were incredible. We all took full advantage of the balcony, having our breakfast and evening cocktails out there. We did see dolphins one morning, and a couple of stingrays! We kept the condo clean (since it was very clean when we arrived) and cleaned up before we checked out.
The pool was also very nice and we spent quite a bit of time there as well.
When are you planning your trip to Destin? We enjoyed seeing the photos of your family up in the condo. It was a nice touch.

Thanks for checking, no owner has ever done that before! The weather and water was perfect! Have not been to Destin in about 9 years, it has grown up a lot. Silver Beach Towers is a wonderful complex and I think we are planning on returning next year. The view was great and we loved your unit!Your condo was wonderful, great furnishings and a great layout. Again, thank you for letting us stay, it was a pleasure. Looking forward to seeing you next year!
Thanks,

The condo was beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves and are talking about going back next year. The weather was great. My husband and son went on a deep sea fishing trip. We ate at Fudpuckers, Back Porch, and AJ’s. All three restaurants were great.
BEST YET!!!!!!!

My wife and I were looking for a place (on short notice) to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. I found this condo on VRBO and contacted Howard the owner. He was very accommodating and easy to work with. I must say the condo was everything that he said it would be and more. Everything was top shelf and beautifully decorated. The condo was also very clean and stocked with all necessary amenities. The bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. We have stayed in condos in Myrtle Beach and Panama City Beach and this one was by far the best ever. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with this choice.

Our family had a fantastic time. When we first walked into the unit, I told my wife if this was my place I wouldn't rent it ... it was simply too nice. The views from the balcony were beautiful (better than the pictures on the site). We enjoyed eating breakfast on the balcony and watching the early morning activity along the beach. The security guards around the facility were very friendly and ensured the property maintained a family atmosphere. We would strongly recommend this property.
