RESORT âDestin has been voted 'Best Beach in America' by the readers of USA Today and has been rated as 'Best Family Destination' for over 10 years in a row by the readers of Southern Living Magazine. Destin Towers is a gated access low-density condo resort, that owns its gulf-front beach, and was also named a 'Top Pick' Destin Condominium resort by Southern Living Magazine. With only 45 units (less than half available as rentals) building common areas are uncrowded and more importantly, the Destin Towers private beach is much less congested than larger mega hotel resorts, allowing for better access to premium beach spots.

We had 11 people staying in this location, 8 adults and 3 children. The layout was set up perfectly for us to all have our own space, bathrooms, etc. The balconies were very spacious and you simply cannot beat that view! It was fairly clean aside from sandy floors, which I realize is a never ending battle. I would have liked to have seen at least some basic spices stocked. No salt & pepper even?!
The dryer went out during our stay but the maintenance man was there promptly to evaluate and had it fixed in a timely manner. Great communication from him.
Overall our stay was very enjoyable and we are already looking at dates to come back!

This condo is huge and unbelievably clean! Loved "keying in" on the numbered push pad! No keys to keep track of. My husband and I played "Marco, Polo" in order to find each other as we got there first and the place is big enough to get "lost" in. Our daughters and their families, which included 3 grandchildren had room to spare. The covered parking space was wonderful and there was ample parking for other family members who arrived separately. Luggage carts were available to help unload the baggage and groceries. Maintenance came quickly on a Sunday when one of bathroom sinks needed attention. We rarely rode up in the 2 elevators with other guests. We liked the fact that the building is small for a beach condo. The living room balcony was separate from the Master Bedroom balcony. Both huge balconies had very nice outdoor furniture. Pool chairs were available when we needed them. We were able to rent a couple beach chairs with an umbrella for the week. There was a beachfront restaurant about a mile north of the condo that welcomes patrons in bathing suits. Perfect place for a Bloody Mary later in the morning when the "old folks" took a leisurely beach walk! Food there was fantastic. Our favorite family activity was renting a pontoon boat, with a "lily" pad and visiting crab island, which isn't an island at all! If you go there, we found more sea life (large hermit crabs) by the sand dune to the west of crab island. Loved this family vacation!

Destinâs crystal clear emerald water is amazing especially being viewed from the 16th floor penthouse, Modern Serenity in Destin Towers. Couldnât have gotten much better than this rental. Updated decor, clean & spacious unit with VERY comfortable beds, lots of seating, highly functional, large, well stocked kitchen, impressive master bedroom & bath that just cannot be compared to others, and, oh, did I already mention the amazing views of the gulf from the fabulous balconies?!!! Older, somewhat smallish building with a gated under cover parking spot. Nice clean, heated pool & hot tub area, friendly beach rental guys, kayak rentals & a Tiki Hut bar & grill just a short walk down the beach. We had one small glitch where we set off the alarm after a thunderstorm & maintenance was right on it minutes after we called. All in all, a truly wonderful vacation to remember.

The property around and the building itself was not so well kept. When we arrived on Saturday a glass door exiting to the pool/beach walkway had been cracked and broken in several pieces. A hand written note attached for caution. Very dangerous especially with small children who push on the glass to help open the door. Giving grace I assumed it was the weekend and by Monday it would have been repaired. It was not throughout the week or our entire stay.
The Penthouse was lovely and served our family well. The bathrooms were not the cleanest upon arrival. One appeared not to have been cleaned at all.
The views of the Gulf from the balconies were spectacular from sunrise to star gazing at night. The balcony furniture was also fantastic and we enjoyed the rocking chairs as a bonus!
Distance to the beach was great especially with small children.
We had decent weather and a wonderful week making memories!

If you are looking to stay on the beach for a family or multi family vacation; try Modern Serenity. Direct access to the beach with plenty of beautiful white sand; with its own pool as well. Multiple balconies provide gorgeous views from morning to evening.
Close to a large variety of attractions and great restaurants; very walkable or an easy drive.
This unit has plenty of space for multiple families as well as a perfect kid's room with great bunks.
There is enough living space to spread out to watch TV or play games or sit on the balcony and enjoy the views.
The kitchen is large; with modern appliances and plenty of work space. There is plenty of seating facing into the kitchen; providing a great conversation space while cooking. There is also a full laundry room right off the kitchen for any laundry needs.
Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to enjoy Destin and its beautiful beaches.

Modern Serenity @ Destin Towers was a fabulous penthouse condo! All listing details were accurate and as expected. The unit easily held all 6 adults and 4 kids. Loved the private balcony off the master bedroom for some "get away quiet time". Only item we wish was better was the swimming pool and, availability of food/drinks on premise. Pool is a bit small for the number of units and to get anything to eat/drink required playing frogger to cross the road to the gas station across the street. Destin overall is much cleaner and nicer than PCB but, the traffic and restaurant situation was super challenging as we were there just before July 4. I'm sure it's less of a problem at other times. Consider booking direct to save on the VRBO booking fees!

Modern Serenity was a great option for our family. The condo was very nice with comfortable beds for everyone. The amenities and safety we experienced during a pandemic was just what our family needed. We were able to find what we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal right there in the condo. The kids enjoyed the "bunk room", warm pool and beach. Although, we didn't venture out to explore much of Destin because we were practicing social distancing, we will be back as Destin has so much to offer.

First the good: views were great, location was good, and when there were issues, it was easy to get ahold of someone, who definitely attempted to fix things. The place had both a coffee pot and Keurig, which was a nice touch...just wish weâd have known ahead of arrival. Also, if traveling with multiple families or varying ages, it was nice that the four bedrooms were essentially divided into 3 separate sleeping areas, making privacy easily accomplished. Unfortunately, the place wasnât completely cleaned upon arrival. One of the bathrooms had dirty washcloths left behind, the patio table, chairs and rug were pretty gross from the last group of people who were there, and some of the interior rugs and table surfaces hadnât been cleaned. We did call upon our evening check in once we noticed the dirty washcloths and they came out the next day to clean the shower and also take care of the outdoor dining area and some of the stuff left behind on the living room rug. The lady handling things did give us an extra free adventure, which was nice. Beyond that, the beds seemed a little old and are lumpy, the pillows arenât very nice, and the doors and trim all throughout are pretty gross and dirty...especially all the interior doors. It also seemed like the floors needed to be mopped. In some areas it looked like someone spilled food or liquid that was never cleaned up. The living room furniture was probably the most comfortable place to sit in the place. All things considered, this isnât a place Iâd stay again.

Family Summer Vacation
We booked this condo for a family summer vacation, and it was everything we expected it to be and more. We had three separate families, so all the adults had a separate bedroom and the kids shared the room with the bunk beds. The kids absolutely loved this room because they could get up in the mornings and play video games and watch movies without waking everyone else up. The views were stunning from both balconies as well. Overall, this is one of the best places we've stayed in Destin.

Great Vacation!
This is a fantastic condominium in a small building, which meant no waiting for elevators and no crowding on the beach. We loved that there was some privacy between bedrooms and nice big areas for gathering on the patio and in the living room. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen could use some Pyrex casserole dishes. We loved the boiled shrimp from Blaylocks, conveniently located next to the condominiums. We hope to return next year!

Pelican Perch
Great spot for a young and old family. The kids had plenty of space inside and loved the beach toys available. The place was big enough for the parents to get some peace and quiet. The grandparents (in their 80s) enjoyed the views and easy access. The views are excellent as we were able to observe numerous pelican flights and dolphins. The beach is very close (highly recommend getting beach service). Food and shopping is also very close. It was an excellent stay and made everyone happy.
