My family including daughter, son in law and three grandchildren had a great time. The condo was so clean and beautiful. I am very fussy about cleanliness when using someone else's dishes, etc., but I had no problem here. The bedding was all brand new and clean and the decorating was fantastic. We would certainly consider this condo again when coming to Destin.

We took our five kids ages 1-15. We all enjoyed the condo! Dad enjoyed the view, mom loved the convenience to the beach, pool and parking lot. Little kids loved playing on the oversized patio. Older kids loved their own tv and collection of movies. Grandma loved her private room and bath. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was great to have the washer and dryer! I truly enjoyed going for a run on the paved area in the neighborhood (houses in the area were wonderful to see) then jumping the in beach all before my family awoke! Beach is beautiful!! Its not crowded. The private access to beach was also nice, as well as the rinse area. Nice book collection- havent read a novel in many years- picked up a book from the condo and began reading again!! All pictures are exactly as you see! It was a wonderful trip. I was happy to find I made a great choice and would recommend it to others.

The condo was beautifully decorated, looked like a Pottery Barn Showroom ! All we had to do to the to the private beach of Crystal View , was to cross the street ! Many restaurants and shops were close by. The owner even emailed me to check on us and was so helpful in telling me place to visit and to dine at. I was definately return to Crystal View ! I had a blast while in Destin. Thanks again everyone.

BEST TIME EVER!!

We had the time of our lives!! We loved this condo. Everything about it was perfect for our family!! There was lots of room for everyone. Three bathrooms was perfect for all the girls. Having a washer and dryer made it so handy to keep all the towels clean. The kitchen is fully stocked and we ate in several times. Our favorite was the shrimp and crawfish boil we had while we all piled around the TV and cheered on the OKC Thunder:-) It is a very short walk to the beach which is not crowded in this area. The area is handy to everything especially all our favorite restaurants McGuires, Pompano Joes, Red Bar(well, not that close), ACME Oyster Bar and the Donut Hole. Oh, I forgot to mention the huge balcony with the wonderful view. AMAZING!! Planning on going back next year

Owner response: Hi Terri, we love the beach in front of the condo as well. The large condo developments to the east and the west spill so many people on the beach that the umbrellas get three deep in the summer. We are very happy with our tiny, little uncrowded building and the four or five umbrellas we see when we go. Leaves lots of room for my boys to throw the football! If you are interested in coming back next summer, try to book as early as possible. I just quoted two separate weeks this morning so I think it will fill earlier than last year. Also, if you have any suggestions for changes or additions to the condo, please let me know! Thanks again, Anne Marie

Beautiful, large condo--great location!

The condo was everything we expected and more! Having never been to Destin, we were lucky to find this gem! This condo is perfect for so many reasons! The location is great--on an uncrowded part of the beach, a community of million dollar homes on one side, a beach parking lot on the other. The result--great views of the blue ocean from the balcony and a nice area conveniently located between the outdoor mall and outlet mall. Another great aspect is that the complex is small enough to go up and down quick to the car, pool, or beach--unlike all the high rise properties. It is a great value for the price given the location and the number of adults/kids it can accomodate. Just as the pics show, it is very nicely decorated! The beach sand is squeaky white and ocean is amazing blue. Who wouldn't want to return soon? Highly recommended!

Owner response: Hi Susie, thanks for the great review. We think Crystal View is an undiscovered gem as well. Please keep us in mind if you return to Destin next summer. Thanks again, Anne Marie

We have stayed at several different condos in the Destin area - 304 Crystal View is the one we have enjoyed the best! It is in a top notch location with super views of the gulf. The decor is very tastefull, the kitchen is well equipted and house keeping was superb. Crystal View is located near many great restaurants. We highly recommend 304 Crystal View for your next get away!

My family and I just spent a glorious week in Destin at this condo and it was wonderful -- far exceeded our expectations and my expectations are pretty high! We have been vacationing in Destin yearly for the past 20 years and by far this was the best place we've ever stayed. The unit is beautiful with all the luxuries of home and then some. There were a few very minor issues that I made the owners aware of and they were ALL fixed within 12 hours -- I was not expecting that but it just shows how attentive the owners are and how committed they are to making sure everyone has the perfect vacation when renting their unit. Location is excellent ... view is excellent ... and the photos really don't do it justice. We would stay here again and will highly recommend this unit to anyone we know planning a trip to Destin. We love Destin ... hopefully someday I can retire there!

Our family and friends had a great time at crystal view. The furnishings were comfortable and the view was great! We loved the huge balcony and enjoyed several meals there. It's also just a short walk to the beautiful beach which is not as crowded as alot of the others. Great place to stay!! Thanks !!!

"Felt Like Home" When we first walked in, the condo was breath taking. The open floor plan leading out to the large balcony was great. Seeing the Gulf always makes me smile. The kitchen was fully stocked from the normal everyday pots & pans to a slow cooker & blender. Even margarita pitcher and glasses. So much room and each bedroom having it's own bath made the vacation even better. The soaking tub in the master was a favorite hiding spot of mine.
