Perfect beach getaway!

We booked this condo last minute for a family getaway with my mom and sisters. The location was fabulous, the beach view was amazing, loved the layout for our group, enjoyed the daily beach service, and the condo was perfectly furnished to make our group really comfortable. Plenty of silverware and nice cookware. We sat out on the balcony every morning and ate dinner out there in the evening. We didn’t wanna leave. We’ve been coming to Destin for the last 20 years and I think this might be our favorite condo yet! We will definitely try to stay here again. Thanks so much!

A very nice condo on a great beach

Excellent customer service from the management company. They were accommodating and prompt. The condo was very clean and nice. AC works great and the unit is quiet. Crystal beach is beautiful- could be the best in Destin. Not a criticism but guidance for those who stay- bring your own spices, olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee filters. Kitchen is well equipped but not stocked. Excellent stay overall.

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.

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.
