It was a beautiful home, perfect for a family group (three bathrooms was great!). Neighborhood was safe and easy to bike with the kids. PLENTY to do close to the house for the rainy hours. Easy check in.
House was accurate to description on VRBO. Furnished cute, great wrap around porches on both levels, close to beach and quiet neighborhood. Stay here, u won’t regret it.
This is such a cute home with great proximity to the beach, coffee, restaurants, groceries and all the Destin activities. We had more than enough room for three grown kids, my husband and me. Very cozy with everything we needed. Would definitely come back!
House as described and 2 minute walk to beach. Kudos to cleaning crew as it was clean upon arrival. Only a few concerns was coffee pot didn’t work. I’m very familiar with type of pot and it overflowed so I think it may have been clogged by previous guests. Also, no comforter or blankets for queen and king size beds. It was cool at night and we had to purchase. Previous renters did not take out garbage. All were reported to property manager. Directions for streaming TV in king room and access for Fire stick would’ve been helpful. Great location for walking, golf cart, beach, and food. Would recommend for party of 6.
It was very close to the beach and we loved the wrap around porch. The little box starter packs in the bathrooms and kitchen were a great touch too. We will definitely stay there again!
Loved the close location to the beach! House had everything we needed and the listing fit the property perfectly. Loved the short walk to get fresh juice at Camille's.
Loved the house and had a great time. Amazing location to everything even if you want to walk.

Lovely Crystal Beach Gem!
Glad we found this very nicely decorated, clean and comfy home! Wonderful neighborhood. Close to beautiful beach, yet centrally located with lots of activities.
Inside and out, this is an amazing home to vacation in. Exterior was amazing with plenty of great condition seating and quality decking. Inside was as described and had nice add ons with typically forgotten items. Very clean and up to date inside. Very happy with our stay. Watch for some extra service fees that were not well outlined or explained.
We loved our vacation! The home was clean and in the perfect location. It was close enough to walk to and from the beach with all our stuff and 3 kids, 2-3 times a day. It was also really close to Whole Foods and the mall. We all loved it!
Very nice house! Enjoyed it immensely. Couldn’t have had a better spot! House was clean and big! Beds were comfy and we all slept well! Porches were great for reading. And just chilling!!!! Will surely be back! Great vacation!!!
Perfect location to enjoy the Crystal Beach area. Five minute walk to beach and restaurants. Quick drive to shopping/groceries. The living room and outdoor porch provide tons of living space to comfortably accommodate 8 people. Beds were comfortable, and master suite had really nice features (dual showers, tub, king bed). We’ll definitely return.

Beautiful home, well equipped, good location
Just stayed at this beautiful home for the past week. The home has everything you could need. Porches are lovely. We used the community pool often as we have young kids and it was never crowded. We were often the only ones there. Close walk to the beautiful white sand beach as well. Thanks for a great vacation!
