Beach-side, beautiful low-rise with uncrowded beach!

A condo with a view Unit 46! A direct line of vision of the gulf from two balconies, one off of the main bedroom and the other off the living room. This unit is located on the 4th floor of the Penthouse Building. It is a two-bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 story unit with its own washer and dryer room, and a well-equipped, remodeled kitchen. Both bedrooms (with private baths) are located on the second floor of the condo; the main bedroom faces south with the ocean view and has two queen beds with upscale and new mattresses. The guest bedroom faces north with two twin beds with new mattresses. In order to sleep a total of 11 people, there is also 2 pull-out queen sofas and 1 twin sleeper in the living room. Silver Dunes has always been family-oriented so we left a highchair/playpen in the main closet. Non-smoking. As a child, I never wanted to leave this safe, happy haven, and I would drag myself to the station wagon to depart. It is my hope that your stay will generate such exquisite memories that you will drag yourself away at the end of your stay – and drag yourself back again!

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!

Unit 46 - week of 6/20
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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: Overall we were very happy with our stay - we love Silver Dunes! However, a couple of things were a little irritating. I'm not sure if the property is under new management, but some of the old policies like allowing early check in if you arrive prior to 4 pm, towel exchange service, etc., were much preferred to the new policies. I certainly understand the wait to check in is covid-19-related, but if not, there's no reason not to allow access. Likewise, if the office hours on Friday are until 4:30, it's disappointing to walk up at 4:15 to discover the office closed - I even called and got the answering service. We were actually going to check on the possibility of staying an extra night, but since no one was available, we decided to save our money instead. Some of our friends in other properties also had their thermostats locked to where they couldn't lower the temperature below 70 degrees. Ours wasn't like that, so maybe that's an issue with the condo owner, but it was irritating when you have a large group in the place that you can't cool things down.Finally, the new beach chair service is fine, but their prices are a bit ridiculous. I figured they would go up from when George managed it, but to go up that much, THEN charge an additional $5.00 per day for tables is taking it a bit too far. I would suggest they include tables in their standard price. I would also hope that the beach service would work a little harder to make sure people from SunDestin and other properties aren't setting up in the Silver Dunes area. I noticed a lot more people moving into Silver Dunes' space than I ever have before. I'd also like to see the additional extra beach space to the right of the private area be added back to allow for more spacing. Overall we were very happy with our unit, and had a fun just felt like things were "nickel & dimed" a good bit more this time, and that's not what we expect at a long-standing place like Silver Dunes.

Pre-Memorial stay
Condo is in great location, updated kitchen, love dual balconies and new mattress’. Only down fall is carpet upstairs and on stairs are gross definitely not desirable for beach lifestyle. Also, Mold on ceiling of guest bedroom - which is where our daughter was supposed to sleep. Her allergies were so affected she had to sleep on pullout couch and unable to use guest room. Please remove carpet and address guest room ceiling mold and the condo will be perfect!. Also, loved the fact that 2 beach chairs and umbrella included .
Stayed 6 nights in May 2021
