Not sure I would stay at this property again
The location is great for food and the beach. The condo is very spacious. The front door lock literally looked like someone had tried breaking into the place. There was what looked like dried blood on the sheets in a bedroom on the main floor. The toilet paper holder in one bathroom was hanging off the wall. One of the decorative pillows on the couch had brown stuff all over it (very unclean) The dryer left black lines on all of our clothes, I do NOT recommend drying your clothes there.

Nice unit, good location but below average management.
Unit have have a good ocean view, clean place. Easy to access to beach about 5minutes walking. Things in kitchen are cheap, still let a broken trash bin used and a few no big deal damaged such as a sliding door latch was broken, toilet paper holder almost fallen off from wall, wall corner chipped off etc…. Telling me this local Vacasa didn’t taken care of the unit for homeowner.

Moldy Unit. A/c Was broke one night
The Unit was exactly as advertised but was very dirty. Mold growing from the closet vent upstairs. Carpet was stained. Very little communication on info on how to get to room or parking areas from VACASA. A/C unit was broke upstairs. They did fix it quickly and the property manager was very responsive, however maintenance man declined it was mold in the vent when you clearly could see it was mold. They did refund a portion of our stay which is why I gave 2 stars. Great location just needs some maintenance and better employees.

Silver Shells was a great condo resort for a family trip. Great parking for 2 cars, easy to get to your room and less than 4 min walk to the beach with a giant pool for when you need a break. This property had everything we needed with plenty of room for 8 adults/teenagers.

Penthouse Life
We did a couples' trip. It was perfect as everyone had at least a queen bed and their own bathroom, and balcony access to gorgeous views. As an introvert, I loved that my partner and I had the king suite upstairs. I was able to get away from the others and sleep or recharge. The beds were fairly comfortable. Not like my bed at home, but better than other rentals I've had. The location was good. Across the street from Wal-Mart, so we could easily get things we needed. Close to several restaurants too. Oh! And we could walk to the beach! The check-in process was not the best. We didn't realize we had to go to the Vacasa office off site. Fortunately it was just 5 minutes away. But once checked in, we asked for an additional key fob and it wasn't an issue. Overall, it was a good experience. We would go back.

Penthouse with beautiful view!
The condo looked exactly like the pictures. My grandchildren said it was the best vacation place ever! The bedroom layout offered privacy for each guest. Master bedroom suite is huge! Some advertising we received showed on-site exercise facility, indoor pool, basketball but when we went to check it out, we were told they haven’t had it for 2 years. Apparently there was a facility in another location but we were looking forward to having those amenities at our condo complex. It was a mild disappointment but we still had a fantastic time! We plan to book it again!

We had an awesome time at the Silver Shells St Lucia penthouse! The property actually looks better than the pictures. This is a great location as it has a lot of amenities. Pools, hot tubs, beach, and a great place to get snacks and drinks at the beach! The views from the balconies are awesome. Close drive to the downtown Harbour too! Great resort! We will stay here again.

This property is in a nice location. The unit is spacious for entertaining which has an amazing view. There are a few downsides, the carpet needs cleaning, furniture is outdated and needs dusting. Basically, there should be a least a day to clean thoroughly before having the next guests arrives.

Two things
The property was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay. A couple of things to point out is 1. The television in one of the bedrooms was not working and someone did not fix it until our last night there. 2. There was not a broom in the PH to sweep up the sand so we had sandy floors the whole time we were there. We will definitely be back though.

Technical issues abounded
First family group that arrived went to ResortQuest office as directed. Although it was within operating hours, no one was there and check-in info wasn’t in the after hours box . Went to the property instead, and the guard gave us a parking pass and said we didn’t need the key fobs. Went to the parking garage as directed and the gate was open. We happened to enter the elevator lobby when someone else was leaving. It wasn’t until one of our party went back to get something out of a vehicle that we realized the access code in our welcome email didn’t work to get back in the door. Three calls later, we went back to the rental office and picked up the fobs. Returned to the property, one fob wouldn’t work. Luckily the other one did. Had to take the faulty fob back and exchange it the next morning. Even after exchanging, the fobs wouldn’t open the gates to get to beach access. Our girls had to exit the property and use a public beach access. To top it all off, the elevators in St. Lucia stopped working and it was a 12 flight hike upstairs, with the first 3 outside in a soaking rain. Since we had a disabled person in our party, luckily we only had to do that once.

Poor property management
I have tried to reach out to the management property via phone and email since the day I checked in and they have never responded to me. We did not receive any pool wristbands or fobs to come in and out of the buildings the beach or anywhere on the property. Very disappointing and wasted a lot of time when we are supposed to be on vacation enjoying these amenities.

Great condo for big groups
I needed a place with 4 bedrooms for family coming out for a wedding and this was great. Right across from Walmart to pick up some groceries and close to restaurants too. Huge master suite upstairs along with a double twin bedded room. Two queen rooms downstairs with their own full bathrooms, all very nice. Beach is a quick walk from this tower. Would definitely rent here again.

Location is Great
Silver Shells resort is in a great location. A bit away from the Harbor but not too far. Near restaurants and shopping. Of course if you know Destin the traffic right now is difficult with the construction. Silver Shells has 1 large pool and individual private pools for each building. There is a sand bar which serves snack and cold drinks on the beach WITH service to your rented chairs and umbrellas which was a pleasant surprise. Ruth’s Chris is right on site with a fun happy hour menu that is more casual. It’s also close to the Candymaker and Back Porch for places to walk to and not have to fight with traffic. Now for the condo itself, it was just ok. Carpets are extremely stained, the baseboards are thick with dust, there was garbage left on our patio and the walls are very marked up. It is in dire need of some tlc and care. With that said, the layout worked for our needs and we didn’t spend much time in the condo other than to sleep and the beds were comfortable. This condo sits on the south west side of the building so you do have all views of the Gulf, with St.Maarten and another building between you and the water.
