Destin commons is just across Hwy 98 and has 100's of name brand stores, along with some awesome eateries. Walk down to Camille's restaurant it’s just down on the corner. Have some lunch, Feel the breeze while you listen to music playing outside by the beach. There is Beach t-shirt Shoppes, Alvin Islands, on all corners. The Premier Outlet Silver Sands is just about 3 miles. Don't forget The Grande Boulevard Sandestin shopping center. Market Place of Sandestin. You must make the 4 mile trip to t he Emeralde Grande at Harbor Walk to enjoy the strip, events? See the Charter boats come in with the catch for the day. Want to play Golf ?

The children will love Big Kahuna's water park, The Track, Golf Carts, Take a Helicopter ride over the Beach, remember to save a night to visit Baytowne Wharf it's just inside Sandestin Resort, the entire family will have a blast. Remember that Seaside is only about 15 mins down 30A. This is the seaside town that they filmed the Truman show at. It's a must visit.

Great location! Beach was just steps away! Property owner was very friendly and easy to work with. Definitely recommend. My family can’t wait to go back!!
Overall, was a great property for our family! Accommodations were great, quick response from owner, and even checking in to make sure everything was good. Beds are extremely comfortable! Thank you for sharing your home
We enjoyed staying at this condo! It was very clean and close to everything! It has everything you need; dishes, ice maker, towels, washer and dryer, etc. You can definitely sit on the balcony and enjoy the beautiful view and it is a short walk to the beach, literally a minute or two. We will definitely stay here again on our next vacation!
Nice condo right across the street from the beach. which is nice if you don’t want an bunch of sand in your vehicle. Plenty of room. The view from the balcony was very nice.
This is our 2nd time staying here. It’s across the road from the beach access and we could see the water from our balcony and people watch. We enjoyed our stay on Crystal Beach! It wasn’t real crowded until the end of the week. We didn’t have issues so we didn’t need to contact the host. He did check in and see how things were going. The only thing I would change is the lock to a keyless entry door.
The best part is being able to walk right across the street to the beach!! And not only that, you can press a button and the traffic stops for you!! That feature is great for the kids. Also, with the beach being right across the street, there’s no loading and unloading the car with all the kids and all the stuff. The only drawbacks are that Destin has too much traffic, and there was no toaster at the condo. There are attractions around if you can find any that aren’t too expensive. Perfect place to go to if all you care about is the beach!!!
I took my granddaughter here for a graduation present along with my son and one of her friends.the property was clean and had everything that was listed in the description. Check in was easy, and the owners were in communication before and during our stay. The condo had a little wear and tear with paint, blinds ect but overall was perfect for us. The location was within easy access to everything Destin has to offer. The view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful, I would definitely stay there again, also worth mentioning it is on the third floor so if anyone has mobility issues you may need to look for something with easier access.

Wasn’t the worst but also wasn’t the best
The location and proximity to the beach is great! The rest is not so great. Even if you over look that the condo is not well maintained (glue and gaps all over the floors, GFI coming out of the wall, stove top has a huge crack in a burner, oven was dirty, peeling paint and rusty ac vents) uncomfortable beds just ruin the whole trip! The beds were very uncomfortable; severe dips in the middle and the bunk bed mattresses are super thin (only good for people under 75 pounds ish). Another concern is it is on the 3rd floor and no elevator. We were given the wrong codes for the WiFi and pool but owner sent us the right ones once we messaged him.
Even though the location was great, the bed situation will be reason enough not to stay again. I
We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the ocean view from the balcony.
The only thing I was disappointed in was the kitchen supplies. There were only 3 or 4 forks, no toaster oven and not very many measuring Cup/spoons. Also, the dishwasher would not dissolve Or the liquid detergent that was provided. We ended up having to hand wash the dishes. When we got there and checked in, there were dirty utensils in the utensil drawer. When doing laundry it was difficult at times to get the wet clothes into the dryer because the door would not stay open. Sometimes it took two of us to transfer the laundry, 1 person holding the door and the other one, transferring it out of the washer into the dryer. The washer and dryer worked great. The door just needs to be fixed to stay open.

Not a bad place just needs proper maintenance.
This property wasnt bad but it just needed some proper maintenance. We needed a place to stay for our trip and it was perfect as far as location to the beach for a reasonable price. Here are some things you may want to know before you rent. The host did not communicate very well. Sometimes I would go days without a response. You may want to call the number provided if you do not get a timely response.
It is on the third floor with no elevator only stairs. The hallway bathroom has a plug hanging away from the wall, the toilet was leaking and we had to change towels out behind the toilet all week to keep the floor dry, and the vanity light had one ballast that was broken and hanging down. There were multiple spots on the laminate floor where glue was exposed and broken pieces of the flooring were exposed so becareful walking bare foot. The couch had a masive rip in it behind the cushions and the pillows were spewing feathers all over the place making them uncomfortable to sit on. With all that being said we still enjoyed our trip because we used the place with the intention of holding our stuff while we enjoyed the beach and Destin as a whole. Not a bad place just needs some repair work done.
Host checked in to make sure everything was good. Let us check in a little early since the cleaning crew was done early. Location was great. Pool was warm and good to have that in addition to the proximity to the beach. Unit could use a little updating and some fresh paint on doors and cabinets, but all in all it’s a great condo and location.
This property is exactly as described, neat, clean, and the location is excellent. Anything you want or need is right around the corner, the ocean views and sounds were spectacular, all the amenities you need are there, beds are very comfortable. Our trip was made pleasurable due to this property. Look forward to coming back again. Definitely recommend for a family vacation.

Great location
We enjoyed our stay, as it was close to the local public beach and local restaurants. The unit needs some updates, but nothing that affects the overall experience. We would stay here again.
