DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO! You will love the SPACE at 'Crystal Breeze' - this 3800 sq. ft. LUXURY beach home complete with a huge great room and a large game room located in the upscale Crystal Shores neighborhood in Crystal Beach. The long driveway has plenty of room for parking up to 7 cars.

Outdoors there is a fire pit, brand new built in barbeque, outdoor television, and outdoor seating. All surrounding a pool with a basketball hoop. There is also a brand new jacuzzi.
The main house has four bedrooms and an enclosed hallway bunk room( good for kids), and three baths. The master bedroom includes a walk in closet, a bathroom with dual sinks, tub, large shower and french doors leading on to one of the many decks. All bathrooms have upgraded shower heads. The layout of the main house is:
1st floor: movie theater, great room which includes living room/dining room/kitchen, and the master bedroom with ensuite bath. There is also a queen bedroom on the 1st floor and a hallway bathroom that the queen bedroom would use and the great room.
2nd floor: king bedroom with a patio and gulf views, hallway twin bunk space (good for kids), and a bunk room with two twin bunk beds. The two bedrooms upstairs and bunk space would share a hallway bathroom.
The carriage house is on the pool side of the house with its' own entrance and there is a set of stairs up to the carriage house (it is on the second floor). It features a morning bar (refrigerator, microwave, sink, coffee maker), two private bedrooms (1 King and 1 Queen) and a full bathroom that the two bedrooms would share. There is also a living room/sleeping area including a murphy bed with a full mattress, so the room can be used as a living room during the day and as a bedroom at night.
Large porches wrap around the home and are perfect for enjoying the private heated (pool heat is optional for an additional cost) pool with three spillover waterfalls, cooking out on the gas grill or unwinding after a long day at the beach. There is also a jacuzzi in another section of the patio. The long paved driveway can accommodate 7 cars so parking is never a problem. This home is perfect for large family or group gatherings. There is an outdoor shower at the pool for rinsing off after your day at the beach.
The house is located in an incredible location. Walking distance to numerous restaurants, shopping, coffee shop and more. Directly in front of the house is a 5 mile strand/path that is great for walking, running, biking, and roller blading.
Bedding: Three kings (including master) and two queens (all upgraded mattresses); six bunks (twin sized), and two chair and a half sleepers(twin-sized sleeper) in the king bedrooms; carriage house living room/sleeping area has a murphy bed with a full mattress. All sleepers and bunks feature upgraded mattresses. Home is professionally decorated with high end furnishings, cookware and linens.

Massive kitchen in main house with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and vaulted ceilings; morning bar in carriage house; fenced yard with heated pool (pool heat is optional for an additional cost); GULF VIEWS from second floor; smart TV's in all bedrooms ; main house great room with 55 inch LCD flat screen tv.
High chair, pack and play, wagon, and beach chairs. Beach access is conveniently located across the street. Plenty of parking for 7 cars in the private brick paved driveway.
Golf Cart: Because local companies were charging our guests $165/day for golf carts we decided to do something about it. We went out and bought a fleet of golf carts for all of our houses (Harleman Vacation Rentals), and we now have them available for our guests to rent. We offer them for between $300 and $495 per week (+taxes and processing), depending on time of year. They are six-seater electric luxury golf carts with leather and outdoor built-in outdoor speakers for playing music. If interested, please inquire regarding availability.
Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel you can cancel at anytime. We just fill the dates and when it fills we refund you 100%. We usually never have a hard time filling, especially in season March to October. However the shorter the notice the harder it can be to fill the dates.
Pool heat is optional. Recommended October through April. $40 per day/$280 per week (+tax).
Discounted Beach chair service: If you choose this option, vendors will set up two umbrellas and four chairs, Sunday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Many of our guests enjoy this amenity as it guarantees a reserved spot on the beach and does not require you to lug the umbrellas and chairs back and forth yourself. It is particularly nice during the summer months when the beach can get quite crowded. This typically runs about $450 a week, through the vendor. But, because we have a contract with them we offer it to you for the steeply discounted rate of $225 + tax.
Pets: we are open to hosting your furry friends. However, please inquire before booking. Pet fee is $150 per stay.
The neighborhood does not allow campers, large trailers or rv's for parking

We had everything we needed at this property and it was so convenient to get to and from the beach. The pool was great for the kids and they loved the hot tub too. My family has already decided we will be back. It was so perfect!
Definitely would recommend staying at this home. We were a family of 3 generations and we all loved this house. So close too so many things to do, see and eat. Huge plus’s that you literally only have to walk out the front door cross the street and go down a set of steps to be right on the beach.
This house has plenty of room for a large family. The theatre room added a huge space for entertainment. The beach access is across the street which was perfect for the little ones. The owner immediately responds to any issues you may have with the property. I would definitely stay here again.
Great location and communication with property management. House had everything we needed and more. Game room is great! 6 bedrooms not 7 but there is a 7th bed space - closet sized with bunk bed. Would stay again for sure!
The home has a lot to do - pool, movie theatre, air hockey, ping pong, basketball hoop, beach access so close! We loved the layout and carriage house. However, the twin beds upstairs in closet are not usable for anyone over 5 years old and the house is very “worn in”. Lots of little things needed fixed - they were responsive but the house is worn in.
Couldn’t have a better location!! 3 minute walk to the beautiful prestine beach. Heated swimming pool and a game room that has not left anything out… a teenagers dream room. We had 18 people age 3-77 including 5 teenagers and the spaciousness was awesome to accommodate so many. Best family reunion ever!! Owner and managers were responsive and attentive to all of our needs. The golf cart was a great addition to transport so many along with a rental suburban. There is plenty to do in the area to keep everyone entertained !! We will return
The location to the beach and access to shopping is fantastic. We had a great time with family and felt there was plenty of room for 15 people. The game/media room was great for adults and kids. We were surprised to find that there was only one set of washers/dryers because the listing said two when we booked (it has since been updated online). There are definitely some minor maintenance issues that should be addressed and the kitchen could use a few more cooking items, but we were still able to enjoy our vacation. Communication with the company was great, and we enjoyed our stay overall.
Check in: The easiest process. Although the pass code is long it was super easy to remember. You cannot get in early via the code the door starts working at 4 pm no sooner or later.
The house itself is beautiful. There are somethings that need a little TLC - cabinets and maybe landscaping but other than that I have 0 complaints. We rented a gold cart for the week which you can take just about anywhere. The location is perfect.
Lastly, the bunk closet. Don't account this as somewhere to sleep for adults, this is a perfect spot for young children.
We had a great time at Crystal Breeze over spring break! The property was as advertised; it was clean, well appointed, and right across the street from the beach. I definitely recommend heating the pool in early April - it worked so well for us! The property owners were great to work with and had clear lines of communication. We had a minor maintenance issue and someone was out within 24 hours to fix it. We had 15 people ages 3-73, and we felt like the layout of the house worked well for us. Also, if you have small kids, the doors leading out to the pool are self closing and the door handles are at adult eye level, which made me feel much better about pool safety. There are also chains on the doors to help keep your kids inside, even if they can unlock doors. We would definitely stay here again!
This property has a lot to offer by way of ample rooms, fun game room, and a nice pool area, but the place could use some TLC. The sofas were worn out, dining table chairs were broken, the outlets in most bedrooms are stripped, with fewer bathrooms mirrors in the bedrooms would be helpful, the ice maker would not produce enough ice for a single meal, and the WiFi was weak. The pool basketball goal was about to fall apart. The extra fridge/freezer was nice and the pool house sleeping quarters were peaceful. The ceiling showed signs of a leaky roof with black spots that had to be painted while we were there. 4 people in our group developed a cough, congestion, and fever by day 5, which we can only hope was unrelated. Plenty of towels, TP, and beach chairs provided. This could be a great place with some attention.

Family Vacation
Our stay was nice. We expected a little more based on the pictures provided when we were searching on VRBO. The house and contents were a little more run down in person than what showed through in pictures. Pool was way smaller in person, do not expect to use any kind of float in it. Communication was good with renters; offered the beach chairs/rentals and then the golf cart rentals within a nice timeframe. AC did not seem to work correctly, but was addressed quickly (although I don’t think much was done because the air still stayed the same). However there were a couple of incidences where people dropped by to do certain things to the house that we weren’t expecting; bug people, two men showed up to measure for gutters, pool people.. not a super big deal but when we’re in the small pool area and look up to see strange men walking around it gave us a start. All in all it wasn’t a terrible place and our family liked our stay!
This house was perfect for us! We’ve rented 5 houses in Destin and this is the first one we would consider returning to. In addition to the house having all the great things shown in the pictures, the kitchen is very well stocked and since we only ate out once, that was very important to us. Our granddaughter was with us and we noticed when she was crawling she was getting very dirty. I reached out and the next morning they came and mopped the whole main level for us! There was some damage we noticed that might be from previous rain and when I let Michael know, he sent someone over immediately to take a look and fix the problem. We also paid for heating the pool but being the last week of September, it wasn’t really needed and Michael and Freya communicated with us that they wanted us to test it out and if we decided it wasn’t necessary they would be happy to refund us! Every step of the way, they were responsive, attentive, checked in on us during the week and handled every situation with great integrity!
Lots of great memories were made on this trip!!
We had such a wonderful family vacation! Our group included 7 adults, 2 children and an infant.
We LOVED:
- The size of the house! We all fit at the table, around the couch, plenty of living space. (It would be snug with 20!)
- The proximity to the beach... it was so convenient.
- The garage game room (although it was HOT)
- Communication with the owners before and during our trip was fantastic! I was well informed!
We WISH:
- There was outside seating area for the full group. There are lots of smaller areas to sit, but not conducive to the full group.
- The house needed some refreshing, just small things. It certainly didn't ruin our vacation, nor did we ask for them to be repaired, but for the price we expected a bit more attention to detail.
- While the size of the kitchen was so nice, we desperately wanted a frying pan that didn't stick and a knife that cut. If you plan on cooking, bring some stuff from home.
Overall, this was a great house for a family vacation! We made memories that will last forever.
We had a wonderful time. The house is lovely. The location is great and the hosts were fantastic with communicating everything to us before and during the trip. Highly recommend!
Another Wonderful Stay at Crystal Breeze!This was our third time staying at Crystal Breeze in Destin, and once again it didn’t disappoint! The house is perfect for our family — spacious, comfortable, and in a great location. We had such a great time making new memories together.A tip for future guests: make sure to use the discounted beach services through the Host to get umbrella placements close to the house — it’s money well spent and makes the beach days even better.All in all, another fantastic trip. We can’t wait to come back again!
We were contacted by Michael the evening before our arrival that the home had maintenance issues in the guest house and offered us another home. He assured us we would be satisfied. YES, we were. The house exceeded my expectations and needs. Direct beach access. The back yard was amazing. The hosts are 10/10. The property was wellMaintained and my 50th Birthday week was one I will never forget. Thank you for such a lovely property. We will rent again from them and refer anyone heading to Destin
House is very spacious and minutes away from the beach. The owner (Michael) was very accommodating and easy to work with, which made the our stay a great experience.
This house is beautiful and suited our needs perfectly ! From the game room to the pool there was lots of stuff to keep the kids entertained and is a very short walk across the street to the beach !
