                            We had a great vacation. The room had several nice updates from our last stay. The room is very comfortable. The weather was BEAUTIFUL!! One rainy day but the rest was perfect. This condo is perfect for sunrises and sunsets and we saw both every day!! Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us.

                            One word "OUTSTANDING". Best short vacation we've had in Destin in years! The condo was beautiful, equipped with modern amenities, and decorated beautifully. The location can not be beat. Beautiful beach views from the balcony. My favorite place to sit in the evening watching the sun set over the water! Colleen is an amazing lady. We hope to stay there again this time next year. Thank you Colleen for your hospitality!

                            We just returned from our honeymoon at Colleen's condo. It was perfect! The location is central to everything and the view is amazing. The beach service was a plus. The condo felt like a piece of heaven on earth and we loved our home for the week. A few recommendations : Cheeseburger Paradise (right by outlet mall)- so much more than cheeseburgers! The Donut Hole; bay fishing trip with Last Cast Charters; wild dolphin swim in Panama City Beach with Water Planet USA. Highly Recommend staying here!!!

                            Our stay was very nice. The condo was clean and just the right size for our family of 5. The doorknob wasn't user friendly so the owner had it changed immediately. Colleen is a very nice lady and I would not hesitate renting from her again. Crystal Beach is such a nice area because there isn't a lot of commercialization along that stretch. Drive down to Miramar Beach on Scenic 98 and you'll know to what I'm referring. I give Crystal Villas, Unit A8, Crystal Beach, and Colleen five stars !!

                            Colleen is extremely down-to-earth and very accommodating. As others have stated, the pictures do not do this particular unit justice. MANY new updates, including stainless steel appliances, couch, love seat, bedding and electronics. The condo is also much more spacious than what we thought it would be. The walls are well insulated--we didn't hear any noise from the pool area or surrounding units. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils to use, and the furniture was quite comfortable. The view was PERFECT! Highly recommended.

                            Colleen is exactly how everyone else describes. Very helpful and honest. Our first trip to Destin, the condo was exactly how the pictures look. None of those fluffed pictures to make you think it is nice and really isn't. If anything the pictures fall short. She has clearly put a lot of care in outfitting the condo. The view of the beach is fantastic, multiple days we would get up to see dolphins swimming by the beach. The beach attendants were great, beach service is a must and Colleen includes it. The tile floor helps with keeping up with the unavoidable sand, but the furniture was cozy and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone, and we plan to come back.

                            Hi Colleen, Just wanted to say we had a Great time. The Condo was very nice and the weather was good for January. I had a couple of things I thought I might bring up. You could use a larger skillet. Also if you could put a descent knife and a sharpening stone in the kitchen. Just a couple thoughts. Thanks Scott

                            My wife and I have been renting this condo since Colleen purchased the unit. She makes the Condo nicer every year and this year was no exception, with new appliances and new bed. The new bed sleeps very well. Colleen is very accommodating and makes you feel right at home. We hope to rent this condo for years to come and would highly recommend the condo to anyone. Location is excellent. Thanks Dave

                            Colleen's condo was spacious, comfortable, and in a great location near Henderson Beach State Park. We relaxed and enjoyed watching the fishing boats come in at A.J.'s in Harborwalk. We were lucky and got to see a board fisherman catch a 16 lb. shark with our binoculars from our balcony. Met him on the beach as he paddled in and then went to A.J.'s to see his catch weighed in for the fishing rodeo--so far, he's the winner in the paddle board category! There are so many great restaurants in Destin. Our "fancy" night out is always at the Marina Cafe. Food, atmosphere and service are always top notch. This year we discovered you can get one entree free if you eat between 5-6 PM. That saved us $29! Excellent food at Cuvee Bistro! Had french onion soup, flat bread pizza, special fried green tomatoes as 1/2 price appetizers there during Happy Hour which lasts from 4:30-9:00 PM! The Bonefish Grill was also very good and it's located just across Hwy. 98, take Hutchinson Rd (the toll bridge road) and it's in the shopping center on the left. We loved the privacy the 2nd floor location provides and really liked being on the west end because we had the best view of sunsets! The king size bed is very comfortable with good support and the new kitchen applicances were very nice. Excellent ice maker in the fridge. Loved the split bathrooms as this worked well for us--husband could get ready at his lavatory while I made-up at mine. We hope that this condo will be available the next time we plan a getaway to Destin. Thanks, Colleen! Sheila and Craig Tifton, GA October 22-27, 2011

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 1997

                          About the owner: I fell in love with Destin the first time I visited. I come to the condo to upgrade, redecorate and perform maintenance to ensure my clients have the best and most relaxing vacation possible. I also have what I consider to be the best management team on the Gulf

                          Why the Owner Chose Crystal Villas:
                          I bought in Crystal Villas specifically, due to the beachfront location, the indoor heated pool and the privacy and cozy feel of the complex.

                          The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                          Some of the things I love about my condo are: waking up and seeing the beach and gulf out my bedroom window; watching for dolphins from the private balcony (they swim by mornings and evenings); the flexibility to either stay on the beach at the condo or walk/drive to several nearby shops, restaurants; and, finally, the absolute peace of just being there.
