This Crystal Dunes condominium has a GREAT LOCATION!!!! Only a few steps to the beach with PANORAMIC VIEWS AND A FIRST FLOOR END UNIT. Spacious open living area is an added bonus. Recent renovation includes new Stainless appliances and Granite countertops in the kitchen and baths to give Platinum-rated upgrades to this already beautiful unit. See 5 Star Guest Reviews as well as Owner Profile.
Because this Crystal Dunes unit is a first floor corner unit, it has the ambiance of a beach home rather than a condo.It is light-filled, having many more windows than the average unit. More windows means more view! It is the perfect condo for families with children or ideal for couples.Park next to the unit and unload groceries and luggage within steps of the entrance, never having to utilize elevators.
Professionally decorated with Caribbean artwork and oil paintings, this Crystal Dunes unit features high ceilings and crown molding. Watch the sunrise from the bay window in the sitting area or a spectacular sunset from the living area. Only the Crystal Dunes end units boast two living areas versus one. This unit has two master bedrooms, with a king bed in each. Two sofas convert to queen size beds and built-in bunk beds in the hallway are ideal for children. Kitchen is large and features four barstools, near the large dining table for six. The Crystal Dunes beach is out the back door and the Crystal Dunes pool is out the front door! Sugar white pristine beaches in the Crystal Beach secluded area, away from the crowds.
The spacious living/dining area can seat a group of ten comfortably for conversation in two open living areas and the unit sleeps eight. This unit is both exquisite and extraordinary!

Beautiful Beachfront End Unit.1st Floor.5 Star Guest Reviews!
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Crystal Dunes
We selected Crystal Dunes 101 because it was the model unit and had wow factor! We liked the fact that it is an end unit, has panoramic views and is located on a quiet street away from high rises. Great restaurants and shopping within walking distance, an added plus!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Crystal Dunes 101 is unique in that it the closest unit to the beach in all of Crystal Dunes. It has an open floor plan with two sitting areas and is located steps from parking. Unloading luggage and groceries is a breeze! Best of all, it looks and feels like a beach house rather than a condominium because it is oversized at 1500 square feet as well as light-filled, with a view to the south and to the east. Walk out the back door to the beach!
Owner's Map of Crystal Dunes
Our Crystal Dunes condominium has afforded our family many hours of vacation time, creating memories as well as providing relaxation. We purchased the unit soon after the building was completed and we do our best to keep it beautiful for our family and our guests. We live in the Destin area and therefore, keep a close eye on the unit and have as much pride of ownership in our condominium as we do our own home.

My family really enjoyed our stay in this condo. So beautifully decorated and very clean. We liked it being the end unit and so very close to the beach. Without a doubt this is the best place we have ever stayed and will come back again!

We have been going to Destin for over 15 years. We have now found our spot in paradise. This is a great location to everything. To be able to sit on the patio and feel like you are right on the beach to watch the sunset everyday instead of way up on a highrise was priceless!! The layout of the condo is perfect with beautiful furnishings. Can't wait to go back!!The owners a great to work with. They even called to make sure everything was ok with the unit. If you are going to stay in the Florida Panhandle you have to stay here.

My husband, two girls and parents stayed in this unit and it was fabulous. The first floor, corner unit with patio looking right out to the beautiful white sands and blue water was perfect. This unit is very spacious and sunny and has plenty of lounging and 'hanging out' room. My girls were asked to be in a beach wedding and this provided the perfect spot to have fun and relax between wedding events.

Condo is clean, up-to-date, and especially important to us with young kids is being on the first floor. No waiting for elevators!!! There is only about 35 units and lots of private beach. We have been going to destin for about 12 years, staying several different places. Crystal Dunes, and especially this unit is the best. We will use it every year.

Oh how we miss you Crystal Dunes! We loved our stay in this spaceous beautiful condo. We loved being on the first floor and being able to just walk out the back door and straight to the beach and to the pool! The convenience with having three little girls, one of which is only 16 months was what made my time more enjoyable. I could sit on the back porch and listen to the waves for hours. We hope to spend many more family vacations here at Crystal Dunes!!! Cynthia was a pleasure to work with and was great to recommend some nice restaruants for us to try out!! Thanks!!!

My wife, daughter and I have spent summer vacations in Destin 8 of the past 10 years. We were fortunate enough to find Crystal Dunes #101 a few years ago and just returned from our 4th week-long stay in the unit in the past 5 years. Because we're experienced Destin renters, I'll start with the first reason you should consider this property: the owners, Rick and Cynthia. Your experience will begin with excellent communication from your initial inquiry until you leave Destin for home, they're unbelievable - their objective is to make you feel like you own the place, if only for the week! Second, because #101 is on the ground level and the nearest unit to the beach stairs, you have the shortest and most convenient route to the beach of any Crystal Dunes unit - other renters told us they were jealous!! Finally, the pictures on the website don't do the unit justice, it's even prettier in person and is, by far, the cleanest unit we've ever rented. The owners have gone to great lengths to upgrade the property each year and have made it incredibly comfortable. My family and I plan to spend another wonderful week in Crystal Dunes #101 next summer while we continue to create memories we know will last a lifetime.

We have visited Destin many times over the years and leased multiple properties; this property is truly exceptional. It is in one of the most desirable locations on Crystal Beach with respect to quality of beach, dining, and shopping. The access and convience to the beach cannot be overstated, it is literally steps away. The property is spacious and bright with a great floor plan and stunning views. Another exceptional feature was the condition of the property; this unit was absolutely immaculate. Very clean and well appointed with everything you will need in the kitchen. Another great feature were the beds, they were very comfortable and again much better than what we have experienced with other units. Cynthia and Rick were great and conducted the lease in a very friendly professional manner. Cynthia went out of her way to make our stay special. Thank you both for such wonderful accomodations.

We loved the location of this property -nearby to Destin Commons, Publix, etc- and also not far from heart of Destin or Sandestin/Outlets. The unit itself is very well located, as you literally step outside the backdoor and walk a few steps to the stairway to the beach. Really great for us, as we have two small children and are constantly back and forth from the beach to the condo. Can't say enough about how convenient this is. It's probably the easiest unit in the building to get down to the beach. The pool is a 1 minute walk from the front door (but no noise from the pool or anything). The unit is in immaculate shape and has beautiful views. Lots of FL sunshine with all the extra windows. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking tools and cups/plates/etc if you plan to be cooking in. There are also 2 chairs and umbrella set up each day that come with rental fee - also quite convenient. The property has gated entry which is a nice amenity. Great time, great place to stay! Highly Recommend!

We had the best vacation here!! Everything was sooooo perfect!!! We have already decided that we want to come back every year! We truly felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. We took such advantage of the front patio...it was perfect while our baby was napping and we still felt like we were right on the beach while sitting there. It was some of my favorite moments on the trip. So peaceful! Also we loved the decorating and top notch bathroom, kitchen, etc. We truly appreciated all the little details, sound machines, plush towels, even fresh flowers upon arrival! It was the perfect vacation, we will be back! April was a perfect time of year to go, after Spring Break crowds and before the summer crowds and the weather was great! Cynthia is fantastic to work with, so thorough and helpful. It is very evident that she truly cares about her guests and their stay.

We decided to come down to the beach fairly last minute, and I am SO glad we did. What a beautiful condo, well appointed, and the location is AMAZING. Cynthia (the owner) was a joy to work with, so helpful with suggestions and things to do in the area, she made sure we were well taken care of. She definitely has an amazing gift of hospitality. The proximity to the beach is more than perfect for kids, our children (ages 2 and 4) had more fun than they ever have at the beach. They slept late and napped perfectly every day! I can't WAIT to come back! Thank you for the most amazing and relaxing trip. We will be returning for sure! Our children LOVED playing in the fountains at Destin Commons as well as the beach and pool of course! The whole trip was just perfect.
