We had a great vacation at this condo. GREAT location to the beach. You can't beat the view.Woke up to watch the sunrise on the balcony with coffee. Best way to start the day! Would stay again. Having said that there were a few minor inconveniences. The shower in the main bath was slow to drain. Also the shower head has some calcium deposits slowing the water pressure. Minor issue.Also for a large group extra dishwasher soap would be helpful as well as an additional kitchen towel.All said a GREAT stay. Loved it! Would stay again. The location was perfect

The unit was beautiful. View was great, location was perfect. It had 2 chairs, umbrella and table included. However, the table was not there 2 of the days and no one onsite to inquire. Beds were comfortable. Very clean for the most part. A couple of items were left in the unit the counter and toilet in master bath didn't always flush. The mgr was very gracious in providing a box for for us. We enjoyed our stand would definitely stay there again.

Beautifully appointed condo. We have been stay at this property for years and this was the nicest condo we have had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked with appliances and the ice maker churned out ice. I liked the two full sofas in the living area. The master bath was really well done. (shower door probably needs some maintenance it sounds like sand it grinding in the hinges). We will book again!

Perfect location right on the beach

This is my second time staying at a Crystal Dunes property but the first time in this condo. I absolutely love the property, such a perfect location directly on the beach, close to great restaurants and not too crowded. The condo was clean, beautifully decorated and had most everything we needed for the week. Would definitely stay here again!

I do my research before booking vacation units. This unit is great, high end finishes, nice furniture, comfy beds, blackout curtains. Beach set up is so nice and easy. There are boxes at each set of steps to the beach containing lending toys, chairs, etc. book this one!

The condo was perfection… beautiful and perfect location. The only draw back was the constant running overhead and neighbor smoking on their balcony as well as on the beach ( literally had to leave our beach chairs and umbrella that came with room several days due to her not following the rules). None of this was the owners fault. We would rent this condo again

Great condo

We had 5 adults and 2 kids staying in the condo and it was the perfect size for us. The master bedroom was amazing and the other rooms were nice too. It’s in a great location as well. Approximately 3 or 4 minutes from the grocery store, Destin commons, restaurants, and about 15 minutes to the harbor walk. The owner could be reached immediately for any questions we had. We had a great stay and would highly recommend.

We loved the view and the condo was very beautiful and clean! Docking one star because we had to deal with the smell of cigarette smoke while on the balcony the entire week. Despite Crystal Dunes being a smoke free facility, it didn’t seem like much was done to enforce.
Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 20, 2025
Thank you for your kind words regarding the view and cleanliness of the condo. We are very sorry to hear that your enjoyment of the balcony was impacted by cigarette smoke from neighboring units. While Crystal Dunes is indeed a smoke-free facility, enforcement is managed by the building association, and we regret that this was not adequately addressed during your stay. We will be sharing your feedback with the association to help improve enforcement moving forward. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless experience in the future.
