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!

Destin Vacation 2 - 2019

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: Overall, my vacation was a wonderful experience. My main complaints would be that by the time Thursday rolled around the garbage out front by the office and the garbage that goes into the chutes on each floor were filled beyond capacity and the garbage was stacking up on the concrete floor below the chutes. I think that more effort needs to be put into living up to the reputation that Silver Dunes has maintained in the past in this area. The room was clean; however, I think a little more effort could be shown in this area also. Silver Dunes has always been like a second home to us. Please strive to keep it that way in the future.

Nice view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a beautiful location to stay. We loved the private beach access and the staff went over and beyond to help us. We already booked for next summer, but we are staying closer to the beach. For this unit I would recommend a fan with a light kit in the living room. It was too dark at night even with the lamps on. The fan could circulate the AC too. The outlet behind the couch didn't work. I can't remember if it was the top or bottom plug in. Other than that, it was nice.

Another family trip to Silver Dunes

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 have visited Silver Dunes since 1974 with our boys and now, with our grown grandchildren. The condo was very complaints. We were disappointed in the beach service. Our 2 sets were right on the line between Silver Dunes and Sun Destin. It was very crowded and people from Sun Destin continually set up in front of us. We will request, next year, to be placed somewhere else. All in all it was a great trip.

Highly Recommend

Typically we stay in a high-rise condo but this year we went on spring break with a group that was staying at Silver Dunes so we gave it a try. It was fantastic! The property is clean and quiet. Never a long wait for the elevator, plenty of luggage carts. Unit 43 was spacious, updated and well-stocked. Having the bedrooms on the 2nd level was fantastic! All photos are accurate. Owner was very responsive. Beach chair company is friendly, pool is heated. All of the kids loved playing in the greenspace between the pool and the ocean in the evenings. Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut and Shakes across the street, Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins and Blalocks (fresh seafood *very good*) less than 1/4 of a mile walk. Highly recommend!
Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2022

Silver Dunes and Unit 43 are awesome!

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: Short walk to the beach, beautiful views, even saw dolphins from the balcony! Pool was so refreshing after a long day at the beach and the tennis/ basketball courts looked brand new! Unit 43 is very clean and comfortable with plenty of space and it felt just like home. The beds were so comfy! Loved everything about Silver Dunes and Unit 43. The best part is that Silver Dunes is a smaller complex so the beach is never crowded like some of the others we saw and everyone was so friendly! Close to The Track, Big Kahunas water park , several restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again!

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: Unit 43 was mostly clean. There were some areas that looked as if it could have been cleaned better. A few light bulbs were missing in the bedroom ceiling lights.Kitchen sink faucet was loose and continued to allow water to run. Grills were a mess and had not been cleaned it what appeared to be a long time. Trash bags would pile up on the stairs a few times during our week stay. Overall stay at Silver Dunes was nice. However, these items that I mentioned begins to add up on the list of things that need maintenance. We have been customers to Silver Dunes for over 20 years, our family enjoys the units. But some items need better attention.
