Sure. It is part of Seascape, along with Ariel Dunes I and II. They are behind MS, further from the beach, but they are TRUE high-rises so they can still have fabulous views. We pool-hopped there, but haven't stayed in them. A BFF has and loved it. She converted from a house-renter to there.
MS is about 10 stories tall. The others are more than 20. Yes, MS is across the 2 lane "old 98", but they have deeded beach access and there is NOTHING across from you but emerald water and sugar white sand. I would suggest the higher the better to get away from road noise, although it has not been loud with the sliders shut to me. Noisy on balcony only. There is heated indoor pool and an outside pool with 2 hottubs between the building and the road. There are two crossing areas with a button to push. Lights embedded in the street will light up and folks stop for you to walk. There is an A building and a B building. We've stayed in A-701 and A-514 (twice each). Both belong to a man named Bill (VRBO). 701 is on the east end, has 3 bedrooms with the split plan. Master on front with balcony. Guest rooms to the rear, each with a bath. One has a full/queen; other has two of them. No twins here.
One of two couches makes into a bed. Could sleep 8 in real beds. Has a utility room with washer, dryer, and ironing stuff. We drop our beach bags and stuff in there out of the way. I love standing at the kitchen counter/eating counter and looking out to sea. Looks like you're on a ship.
514 is a 2br unit that was refurbished between our two stays there. 2 br units have both of them at the rear. That was good when our DD was too scared to stay near the door alone, but now that we take a friend, we get the 3br and only use 2...just to get apart from them. The 3 showers do come in handy though...3 females can get ready at once!
You can go use the pools at Ariel if you want. There is a golf course, tennis courts, & workout room that faces the beach. There are golf villas and tennis villas too, but the photos look very old and dated.
If you have golfers, my friend says to book directly with Seascape to get a big discount on that. I've only booked thru VRBO myself. A local realtor comes by and collects the money.
So excited! Never been to this area, and our goal was to stay somewhere not in the "busy" area, but be close enough to go to Destin if we want! Thanks for the ideas of what to do!
