Unique Benefits
The Gulf view from Summerspell 202 is breathtaking. Often during the year, the sun drops into the Gulf directly off the balcony creating some of the most dramatic sunsets you might ever see. The new spa is incredible seating up to 10 people comfortably. The pool is heated from November through March, making winter month’s enjoyable.
Parking is free and just one floor below the condo.
Summerspell also offers coin/credit card washers and dryers on the first floor, just below the condo.
Why Kids Love It
Kids will love the easy beach access as well as the pool and spa located just below the condo and within easy view from the condo balcony. Don’t be surprised to see dolphin swimming by in the Gulf from the balcony. While we don’t guarantee available beach chairs and wave boards, there are always some available in the storage chest on the balcony. Just up the street is Alvin’s Island—great shopping for gifts and beach items for the kids!
Summerspell is a small and quaint condo complex of only 30 condos located on Scenic Gulf Drive which uniquely runs parallel for approximately 4 miles. Along those 4 miles is a walking/bike path to get some exercise and see some of the spectacular homes and condo along the way. From the condo, you are an easy walk to some of Destin’s best beach restaurants, motorsport rentals and shopping for the kids. Might also start your day with a walk up to “Badass Coffee” for some pretty good guava!
Summerspell is also just a few minute drive to outstanding shopping on Highway 98 including Silver Sands Outlet Mall and the newly expanded Destin Commons.
Dinning of any and every type is abundant close by and in each direction from Summerspell 202. Excellent Chinese, Italian, Mexican, and seafood/steaks are a short distance away?

Cindy F.Condo in a great location for beach and eats
The condo is across the street from the Miramar public beach. The condo balcony has a great view of the beach and pool/hot tub. The owners recently replaced the bathroom shower, which is very nice! The bedroom includes a king size bed that is very comfortable. It is also perfect for a family with children as there is a bunkbed in the hallway. The hallway can be closed off with a pocket door allowing parents to stay up after the kids go to bed. The condo is also in walking distance to many restaurants.The only downside of the condo is the pay first-floor shared laundry rooms. Plus, the units need more soundproofing between floors. We could hear the family above us walking around and their dog barking and whining. The walls are soundproof as we could not hear our neighbors, only the condo above us.

The minute I walked in, it felt like home. A well maintained homey unit with a balcony that is facing the beach to enjoy your coffee listening to the ocean. Great start to my day every day. The unit is fully stocked with coffee pot, pots, pans. glassware, dishes and even grill utensil to use on the outdoor grill on the property. The pool has a restroom which saves you a trip to your unit if need be. The unit supplied floaties, beach chairs and little boogie boards.Grateful for the cleanliness of unit, comfortable furniture and bed. Water pressure in shower outstanding. Location close to parasailing, banana boats and snorkeling and restaurants. Washer and dryer located on property also.I hope the future allows me to travel to Destin again and this host will be the first one I contact. The Wilson's were so kind and assisted with any questions before I arrived and during my stay. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Linda AndJim M.post xmas get away
Loved the location as close to all, but also a little quiet oasis--the bathroom is small--there was only two of us so fine but would be difficult for 4. Also, nothing at all in the kitchen--not even salt and pepper. So make sure you bring all supplies
