We bought the whole family down for Thanksgiving for their Christmas gift we all had a blast grandkids was so excited with the pool weather was good can’t wait to do it again
This place was perfect for 20 people we did not feel over crowded and it felt very roomy. Everyone loved the house and the location. I highly recommend this house for everyone. It was a nice house and very clean. Me and my group had so much fun staying here!
We had our entire family (15) of us and it felt like home. Very clean and close to shopping , restaurants and activities. The neighborhood was clean and safe and nice and close to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful family vacation. House was so nice. Great space for our family of 14. Nice equipped kitchen!. This is our second time staying at this property! Love that it is a short walk to the beach. Hope to be back in the near future!
We had a wonderful stay at this house in March. First floor bedroom was perfect for my MIL. Backyard was great with the heated pool and plenty of space. The neighborhood is amazing, very quiet and peaceful with quite a few actual Florida residents. It has easy access to the beach, just a five minute walk, as well as easy drive to lots of restaurants and shopping. We loved our stay here and would def stay again. We only had 5 people in the house, and just used the first and second floors. It says it sleeps 18, and I’m sure that it does, although the third floor seems like it would be hot in the middle of summer.
Had a family vacation here, the house was very nice and spacious. The pool and all the paml trees in the back made for a great esacpe. House was clean and well maintained. The location was great, quick walk to the beach, access to lots of shopping, and quick drive to anywhere in Destin. The beach chair inclusion was amazing. Was also nice they had a cart and additional beach chairs. Kitchen was well stock with equipment and utensils. You gets starters on soap, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, etc. All in all a great experience. Only downside was the wifi, it was down 75% of the time and mgmt company couldn't figure out why.
The rooms were large with plenty of room for bags, etc. The kitchen was well equipped and allowed us to enjoy meals at home. The pool was a good size and our kids had a blast swimming almost every day even though the temperature outside was a bit below average.
This is an amazing place to stay. We had 18 people there and it never felt crowded. It was so close to the beach that everyone just walked there. I would definitely stay there again!
Wonderful place to stay! Very accurate descriptions of rooms and spaces. Amenities were as listed. Location of this space is amazing. So close to the beach and lots of shopping and restaurants.
My family had an amazing stay at this property. This is our annual Destin trip and this house was perfect. The size of the house and location was perfect. The property is a short walking distance from the beach and close to Whole Foods, Publix, fast foods and great restaurants.
Our group had a blast at the Crystal Beach property. Short walk to the beach was exactly what we needed, and the pool was great for those who didn’t want to get sandy.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and was very happy we stayed here compared to other properties we had considered.
We loved it ! There was 22 of us and it was great! The house was perfect for our family. The pool and beach couldn’t have been better! The weather was perfect. Would recommend this house to any one wanting a great family stay!
House was beautiful and walk to beach was easy and safe for older kids to go on their own. Enjoyed having pool option when we wanted to be closer to the house but be outside. Destin is amazing and we would return. Recommend this house for large groups with kids.
This property was perfect for a trip to the beach among friends. We had lots of space to spread out across floors, plenty of bathrooms, and the home was comfortable and well stocked. Loved the pool and the quick walk to the beach — it was truly not more than 1.5 blocks away. The manager was great with our pre-trip questions and we had no issues on the trip. Thanks for a great stay!
Everything was great from the house, location, beach just Beautiful. The only issue with the house is, the dining room chairs needs to be replaced and the kitchen window needs to be sprayed due to little black bugs crawling on the window and counter top.
We had a great time with our children and our grandchildren ages 4 to 25. It was only a 3 minute walk to the beach and they had so much fun in the water and white sand. Loved every minute making memories with them all!!
There were 17 of us in our group and there was still plenty of room. The kids enjoyed the pool. Based on the listing I thought it was slightly closer to the beach, but it still wasn’t that bad of a walk. We just had a lot of kids.

Nice place for big group
We had nice time off, the place is spacious for group of people 20 people. Property was clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was as soon as we entered the property the fire alarm went off and it took 45 min for the maintenance person to come and fix it.
Also love rentals were NOT accommodative for 1 hr early check in.
Beautiful property, beautiful location. Had issues booking on VRBO, and calling customer service (was hung up on) wasn’t helpful. But ended up able to buy it k the property we wanted. No issues with them at all! Working out details to book with them again next year.
