My wife and I only live about an hour and a half from here, and we try and make it over here as much as we can! The owners are the greatest and easiest to deal with, and the place is exquisite! Anything and everything you could ever want or need is within 10 minutes.And the beaches and water across the street are like nowhere else. Thanks again, Suz, for your continued, gratious, Southern hospitality!!!

Thanks so much for letting me, hubby, mother, and our 2 kiddos (8ys and 6yr old) stay in your condo for the weekend of Labor Day. The room was very nice and comfy, the access to the beach is like a few steps away. We had a tropical storm the whole time being there, so I can't wait to come back! The owner is awesome to deal with! She has so much nice things in her trunk for kids to use. Hubby had a accident while there so we were in the hospital the last day which sucked, but I will definately be renting this condo next year :).

Same review as others. The owner is very easy to deal with, and the unit is wonderful and clean. My family (wife and 3 kids age 11, 9, and 7) loved everything about Crystal Beach. The beach was awesome, especially the access. Literally 1 minute and 30 seconds to be on the sand. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY. If you go, just don't take our week!! Thanks Suzanne!

Owner response:Thanks , Joe! I appreciate the review and the kind words. I wish I could meet everyone that has rented from me. They have all been so nice! You especially. Thanks Again, Suzanne

The best thing I can say about this place, is the owner. The home was a patio condo with a view of the beach....thats a nobrainer. It was gorgeous and easy to visit, like probably many others in the same area. But the owner was very responsive and she gave a great description of the place beforehand so it was everything I expected. Right next door to a gold nugget little Cafe and Restaurant...which had she not told me about, I wouldv'e missed. Last time I stayed at Crystal Beach I missed it, I was on the phone recommending the place to friends on the drive home!

Owner response:Thanks so much Caden! You call me again anytime and we'll "hook you up'! Suzanne

Great place to stay and great owner to work with

The owner is great to work with. A very very sweet lady. You can tell she decorated the place with her heart. The Condo is clean and was equipped with all the things we needed. The condo was walking distance to the beach and to shopping areas nearby. It was a great convenience for our teenager kids.The Beach was not too crowded, so we enjoyed walking along the beach two times a day. We highly recommended this condo

Owner response:Thank you so much for the kind words, Kathy! Please call again next year!

Living La Dolce Vita

We spent a wonderful month in this charming, spacious condo. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed and bunks quite comfortable, and the location is super convenient. It is clean, well organized, and the floor plan really works well. The outdoor hot tub and heated pool were great, but the private jacuzzi was our favorite. The decor is sophisticated yet very homey. The owner is most helpful and communication was great. This is a real winner and we hope to spend two months next time!

I was concerned we might be farther away from the beach than we had anticipated, however the location was perfectly placed directly across the street with a view. We enjoyed a great dinner from right next door, and the condo was stocked w/ little necessities like hand soap and paper towels which is always a nice perk. The sidewalks were perfect for my morning run too. Just an all around great stay!

We had a great time in Destin and really enjoyed the condo. We saw the previous good reviews, and fully agree - what a nice place! We would love to come back next fall. The condo is perfect for a family of four (or five if you have a little one as we do, still using a pack and play). The condo was fully equipped, and also had beach chairs and sand toys for the kids. We had coffee every morning on the patio and enjoyed the view of the gulf. The owners were very nice and easy to work with. They emailed us the first day just to make sure everything was as we expected. In all, a very nice vacation!

Suzanne, thank you for allowing the opportunity to rent your condo. The decor was perfect for my tastes! It was very refreshing. We could not have asked for a nicer place or a better location. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Louisiana charm and Southern hospitality combine to offer a comfortable, warm retreat. Though it appears to be a New Orleans treasure, the furnishings are family-friendly. The neighborhood also has wonderful biking,walking and jogging paths. My husband and I plan to return and sit on the lovely patio, enjoy the beach view and snuggle on the red couch. In addition, you never have to cook a meal because the deli next door serves breakfast and lunch. For dinner, you merely walk 20 or so steps and dine at one of the best restaurants in Destin. Even though we live near the beach in Texas, the snow-white sand and crystal clear water calls us. We suggest families or couples enjoy this cozy retreat ASAP.
