We loved the location! The condo was clean and nicely furnished. The only negative we have to say is with the master bedroom mattress. It was very uncomfortable. A nice condo deserves a nice mattress.

Great stay at the beach!

We had a great week at the beach at 309A. Steps from the beach and 5 minutes from Publix, what more do you need? Everything was very clean and all the appliances worked. The property manager is a quick text away. 10/10 Would love to stay again.

Family vacation

We vacation in the Destin/Miramar area every year. This is our second stay at Crystal Sands. This unit was perfect for our group of 7 (adults and older teenagers). The unit was clean and well equipped. We cooked several times and had everything we needed. The beach was fabulous and the beach chair set up that came with the room was definitely an added benefit. Excellent communication with the property manager. We would rent this property again.

What a great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay. The door is right across from elevator so that was a plus. Wish there were stairs but that’s ok. We did have to unclog the drain in the main bathroom as we pulled a ton of hair out of the shower drain which was disgusting but we didn’t want to bother calling maintenance for a quick fix. The beach service was outstanding, and our suite supplied extra beach chairs, toys, etc.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was one of the best we have stayed in at Destin. They did a fabulous job remodeling. It was perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved the 2nd floor of the condo. The short down the elevator and out the boardwalk to the beach was great and easy for coming back in for lunch and snacks. We would stay here again or for many more weeks if we could!

The complex itself is very easy to navigate! Our hosts were available and even reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. My only wish is that the pool was beachside instead of streetwise. But, I knew this when booking! Awesome trip, we will be back.

Relaxing Stay in Destin

We loved our vacation in Destin at the Crystal Sands Condominium. As soon as we booked the reservation, we were provided with detailed instructions on how to get to the condo and what to do once we got there. We received welcome texts and knew exactly who to call if we had any issues. We really had no issues or problems, but it was nice to know who to call if we did. We didn’t have a full house because some of our party couldn’t make it, but we enjoyed the spaciousness of the condo with the smaller group of 5. The loft area is open, so sound carries from the bottom floor to the top. This should not be a problem if everyone wakes up and gets going at the same time in the morning or if you want everyone to wake up and get going at the same time! The condominium is a low rise (3 story) so the beach is less crowded than some of the more densely populated condominiums. The location is absolutely perfect. The condominium is right on the beach and comes with 2 beach chairs and an umbrella and no extra tents or chairs or umbrellas are allowed to be set up. This makes for a much less crowded beach and a more relaxing vacation. The condominium was decorated very nicely. Overall, we really enjoyed staying at this condominium and would stay again in the future.
