Destin Vacation

We had a great stay in Destin! The location was absolutely ideal—close to everything we needed but still felt peaceful and relaxing. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made it feel super comfortable right away. We especially loved the pool and the surrounding area—it was perfect for both relaxing and spending time with the kids. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Extremely comfortable for a family of four with teenage kids. Fun decor, right across the street from the beach all conveniences are available in this condo including TVs in each person’s space (even each bunk bed) with streaming apps, fully accessorized kitchen with a dishwasher, and washer and dryer. This is our second stay here. It is also extremely clean and the owner is very responsive for any questions.

Weekend Getaway

We loved that it was a smaller building, stairs aren’t bad at all. The room is right by the stairs as well. Beautiful view, loved the hot tub, and the whole vibe of the condo. Easy access to beach, don’t miss Camille’s right down the street for coffee, then hop straight over to the beach for sunrise!

Great First Trip in Destin!

We had a great stay here! Smooth and straightforward check-in and check-out process, and we felt very safe. Just a short 2 min walk and you’re on the beach! I’m sure it’s absolutely beautiful in the warmer months. Laura provided us restaurant recommendations and was available to answer any questions we had!

My family really enjoyed staying at this property. It is very clean and it is decorated so nicely! We loved the views of the Gulf! Just a quick stroll across the street and we were at the beautiful beach! I loved the area, it is very safe and very active! A great place if you love to run, walk or bike.

Beautiful beach condo

Stayed here for a work conference and brought my family along. My 12 and 13 year-olds loved the bunkbeds with private TVs. Short walk across the street to the beach with beach views from the balcony. The condo was extremely comfortable, including the beds and full access kitchen with dishwasher as well as a washer and dryer. The condo has everything you would need in the kitchen to prepare meals and clean up efficiently. The condo is close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Condo was very clean.

Our new favorite

We stay at a Grand Caribbean condo every time we visit Destin. We love the location. There are fewer people than the high rises and we prefer that. The condo is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. Be prepared for stairs 😊 The condo is so cute. The photos are accurate and it has such a fun vacation vibe. My husband said the bed is the best he’s slept in (more comfortable than ours at home). We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony. Comfy chairs and nice view of the beach. Perfect place to people watch, have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Condo has everything you need for a fantastic vacation. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks Laura for sharing your special place.

Great trip

We had an amazing time. We just had a couple of issues that kept it from getting a perfect score. We had a leak under the kitchen sink when we got there. The maintenance guy did fix it in a timely manner. Also the hot tub for the building We were in did not work for the entirety of our stay. That was a bummer.

Super Spring Break Stay!

This condo was perfect for our family. It was very well decorated and that added so much in my opinion. The Master bed was nice and loved the mattress! There are plenty of special touches like little boats on the wall in the bunk area that house the remote controls and each bunk has its own TV. We used the pull out couch for our two sons and took care to put everything back together each day so we could enjoy the living area. It was very easy to do. The property managers for this condo were friendly and responsive but I only needed to call them once to notify them of something that was damaged prior to our stay. They went the extra mile welcoming us, helping me carry something upstairs, and showing me how to set our own lock code. The pool is easily accessed and hot tub was nice to have! Beach access on Cobia was so easy and quick and There are two great areas for rinsing off sand on your way back into the pool area. Again, this condo was adorable and had us really feeling like we were on vacation. Would definitely stay here again!!

Great little beach condo

We love the Crystal Beach community and visit twice a year. This is the first time staying at this condo and it was just perfect. A short walk to the beach and the heated pool at the complex made our family happy all week. The condo was stocked with everything we needed for our vacation and the owner was great with communication and responded immediately when I had a few questions before check in. Internet service was a little spotty but I think that was caused by the storms we had during the week, so not much anyone can do about that. We were successful resetting the modem when we needed to. The beds were very comfortable and the decor was fun and beachy! Definitely a new happy place for us to stay next time we return in the fall!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Setters

Hello! We are a family of beach lovers and can't wait to share our beautiful space with you! We love this area of Destin; it's quiet, plenty to do and see, and of course the crystal clear water and pristine beach! We have been visiting the area for years with our family and are happy to provide recommendations and/or answer any questions that you may have to help make your stay the best it can be!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of it's stunning views of the ocean, the super short walk across the street to the beach and because it's just such a beautiful area where you can walk to many restaurants if you choose and plenty of entertainment, shopping and more is just a short drive! We hope you love Destin as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

This area of Destin, Crystal Beach on Scenic Hwy 98, has it's own "small beach town feel"; there are no high rises in this area, there are runners, bikers, walkers and golf carts buzzing around most of the time! It's just a happy, peaceful, gorgeous little slice of heaven!
