Wonderful! The location of the condo is right on the beach with great balcony view of beach. Personal elevator to condo was such a plus! Loved views from both master bedrooms. Beach chairs included in unit, but would be nice if they were the more common Tommy Bahama-type chairs that recline. Chairs very basic and some were high and not low beach chairs. Sofa in living room not very comfortable. But overall, we loved the condo!

Beautiful unit; a bit worn, but clean and comfortable with a location that can’t be beat! Fabulous views, really nice en-suite bedrooms, well stocked kitchen (but bring your own dishwasher detergent and coffee filters!), and wonderful balcony with full view of beach, ocean and daily dolphin visits! The common area is also super: huge pool, hot tub, really pretty garden playground, beach bar/grill and soft, clean, white sand. Gibson Beach rentals is extremely professional and responsive. We highly recommend them and this unit!

We had a wonderful stay at Destin, the apartment has just about everything you need, the location is perfect and facilities are fantastic. The view that you wake up to every morning is one of the most spectacular you will ever see.
The team at Gibson were always so helpful if we needed anything they were able to help fix it so quickly I can highly recommend them and we would stay here again when we return to the area

Great location, beautiful condo! Queen beds were comfortable but supposedly the bunk beds weren’t the most comfortable. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time staying at St Maarten 0906. The unit was perfect and very comfortable for my family of 6. The teenagers loved going to the pool, playing cornhole, and having the beach right at their fingertips. There was construction happening on one of the buildings that sometimes made the setting on the patio unpleasant, nothing to do with the unit itself. Having traveled and stayed in many rentals, I was a bit disappointed to purchase simple items; salt, pepper, dishwashing soap, and other basic condiments. Other than that, it was a great experience!!

We booked this family vacation to celebrate my being 2 years cancer free!! about 20+ people ages 5-65 and every loved this resort!! the rooms were beautiful, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Everything else was right across the street. Everyone enjoyed themselves and wants to come back! The room I had was spotless and plenty big for my family of 4 plus 2 grown nephews. we didnt feel we were on top of each other.

It was my husband, 3 kids, and my parents and the condo was very spacious. There are basically 2 master bedrooms so 2 couples each have a king bed. The 3rd room had 4 beds (bunk). We had plenty of space, the unit was clean and had a spectacular view of the pool and ocean.
I loved the private elevator entrance and we never waited more than 2 minutes for the elevator.
The AC got very cold which we loved. Some condos never seem to get cool.
Would highly recommend.

Everything was great. I appreciated the app and that was very helpful. The fact that we received texts to make sure all was ok was a great personal touch. I will say that everything noted that a personal tent could be used however we were told by the beach service we could not, even behind their tents. I was disappointed but it did not ruin my vacay. The TV in the den is quirky but it worked. All the others were fine. I was completely impressed with the cleanliness. I do believe the condo could use a little attention in terms of updating.

Loved it again....Going for a 3-peat next year. Gibson was great helping with our needs and were accommodating during our stay throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

The condo was roomy, perfect size for us, and it was very comfortable for our stay. Parking was convenient to the elevator, so getting to the condo was easy and quick. The view was amazing and can’t be beat. We felt like, for the money, the condo wasn’t in tip-top shape. Boards were coming off the cabinets, the grout was very dirty and sloppy in some areas, the rug had stains on it, and there was no inside security locks. The sliding door didn’t lock (but was way too heavy for a child to open), the service door in the bunk room didn’t lock from the inside, and the main doors coming into the condo didn’t lock. We know that others can get to this floor because we were on the elevator and got stopped at other people’s floor.
But overall, we had an excellent family vacation and enjoyed our time at Silver Shells. We really appreciate the staff at GBR checking in with us to make sure we could get in since we were running behind at arrival. Excellent customer service!

Toni, thank you for the feedback we will definitely pass this along to the Owner. We do have service orders open to work with the Owners on the locks. While the elevators do open up on floors, the only way the elevator doors open are if you have your specific key programmed to your unit so if you were not on the elevator, no one would be able to get off in your unit unless you gave them your key. We're happy that you and your family had a wonderful time at St Maarten and we hope that you'll book with us again!!
