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.

• Annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Courtyard – Easter Sunday, 9 am in the courtyard

• 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.

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 enjoyed unit 27 as there was plenty of space for our children and family to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I didn't expect a view of the ocean due to the location of the unit but we actually had a partial ocean view off the balcony. This is a very family oriented facility as they had live music at the pool, movie night and smores for the kids. I highly recommend this unit for a family vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was dirty , very difficult to get to beach as there is a large grass area to walk through unless u want to walk through parking lot to get to beach ! Loud music all night until security was called 3 times after midnight ! Stove was filthy, and when turned on to cook it smoked hot the whole condo smoking and fire alarms go off ! Loud gate noises all night long, long shag carpet was filthy , made socks black when walking on it ! Beach was beautiful as always , zero view of the beach ! And listing this as a penthouse is a outright lie !but condo was in need of some major overhauling - and for 2k plus dollars i very much expected more !

I had not been to “old Destin” in several years and was excited to be back. I was disappointed. This property does not appear to have been updated in decades. The quality is really poor for the price you pay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at Silver Dunes annually for many years. Several of those years have been in Unit 27, which is a fine unit. AC works well, which is important. The town of Destin is quite busy, but Silver Dunes allows one to escape that.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Unit 27 was very disappointing, especially considering the price we paid for it. It was apparent that no upkeep had happened during the pandemic months. There was paint missing from the entryway; the front door of the kitchen refrigerator was filthy; the overflow drain kept falling out of the tub in the master bathroom; the sliding doors did not stay on track and therefore did not open very well; and the beds were extremely uncomfortable. I have very fond memories of Silver Dunes, but this unit makes me never want to stay at this condo complex again.

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: Rented our old Condo after selling it two years ago. Everything was great. Grounds really looked good as well as the new resurfaced Tennis courts. Beach service was excellent. Chris, Craig and their staff at the new Beach Service were fantastic and were on top of everything. Umbrella sets were put up early and looked great.The staff was also very professional and friendly. The new staff which we hadn't met before were just great. Derek, Amber, Andy and Mary Lou seemed to go out of their way to make the guests feel at home. Things seemed to run a lot smoother than in the past.
