We've been staying at the Crescent for about 15 years. We love the property, especially the pool, and the access to the beach. The staff is fine. On this particular trip, we had some issues, the fire alarm went off one night and would not quit. Not for the entire complex, just our unit. Can you imagine? It's LOUD, not very restful, and just super annoying. It would quit for a while, then start up again. First we had a very difficult time reaching the renter, finally we did, but she was not helpful at all. After an hour or so, they sent somebody out there to turn the fire alarm off. The next day, somebody came out and put in a new one.
The Crescent is getting kind of old, and it shows it in some ways. The fitness room could use an update, some of the equipment was messed up, but overall, I'm glad it's there and I got my workout in. I'd still rate the Crescent as the best place to stay on the outskirts of Destin, it's nice, clean, very nice pool, generally well maintained, and expensive enough to keep the riff riff out. Some people bring dogs, we didn't, they should be consistent here. If I'm going to have to hear dogs barking, I ought to be able to bring one of ours.
