Fantastic beach getaway!

Loved that the place was clean and AC was nice and cool for our arrival. Steps away from the private beach was amazing. View from the balcony was spectacular. Space inside was comfortable for our family of 4. Pool was great to cool off after a long day at the beach. This was our first time to Destin. We plan on coming back and will stay at this location.

Perfect inside and out!

We were so pleased with the condo, location and the beach! It’s been 30+ years since we’ve been to Destin and we were not disappointed! We loved the view and decor of this unit. Easy access to the beach and walkability to restaurants. Love to return!

Great Location

Property was clean and as represented in pictures. Great beach location, safe and secure. Only drawbacks was extremely noisy people above us. Footsteps all day and night and bathroom ceilings need to be redone. Check in and check out was easy. Would stay again!

Great locat

We loved the location. The only thing worth noting was that the jets in the tub were very visibly dirty. It wasn’t a problem because we didn’t take a bath. But definitely was gross.

Condo was nicely decorated & clean. Right on the beach, so view is always beautiful. Weather was too cold to be outside this time, but still love to watch the waves. The master bed was terrible. lumpy and the springs squeaked with each move...needs update. Renters upstairs had a small child who ran back and forth continuously from dinner time until after 10PM. Need to be told to be courteous of people below them. Would rent again at Crustal Sand but not this unit due to the bed.

Perfect view

This was our second stay in this condo. It is a very convenient location with a gorgeous view. It would be nice if the public beach wasn't so close but that's a small price to pay.

Experience of a lifetime

This property is quite literally on the beach of one of the most amazing ocean shorelines we have ever been to. The condo had views that a picture cannot do justice and the space was enough for all five of u. The beach itself is a must visit . The sand was soft and therapeutic and the sunsets took my breath away! Highly recommend more than 2 days if possible because it was just that great.

Love the View

The property was beautiful with access to the beach. Amazing view of the beach. I did noticed so small issues. The front door lock at times didn't won't to catch. Our gate code to access the beach didn't work and we had to wait until someone go through the gate. Upon leaving housekeeping entered the property without prior knowledge. Other than those little issues the property were amazing. I give it 10 stars! Making plans to return again.

Average

The only thing outstanding about the unit is the view. The unit was mostly clean except for mildew on the shower curtain. The living room furniture and mattresses were uncomfortable, not enough blankets and pillows, generic plastic outdoor furniture, and the tub didn’t drain well. Overall, average unit for the price. We’ve stayed in several units at this property over the years and will probably choose a different unit in the future for the reasons listed and because this unit is directly next to the stairs and above the pool area so it can be loud until very late at night.
