This condo is excellent! It has all the necessities, the beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked, and the condo complex was quiet with ample parking while we were there on a spring break week. The view is fantastic, and chair service on the beach was very convenient.

This place was a total beach dream! The condo looked just like the pictures- cozy, cute, and super clean. Being right in the sand made everything so easy and fun. We could walk straight from the couch to the coast! Beach service and the pool were the cherry on top. Already dreaming about coming back!

Incredible location

Right on the beach. Not across, but on it with a gorgeous unobstructed view. It’s a less busy part of the beach and the included umbrella service is such a perk. The condo itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We will be back!

Postcard Perfect Stay

The property is well maintained and very comfortable. The inclusion of the umbrella and two chairs on the beach (though first come first served), was a perk! The water was emerald green and no rip tides or sharks to contend with! The view from the balcony is exquisite! We will be back.

The host was great and so was the room, only bad thing I can say is the couch is warn and dirty and should be updated. I also didn’t care for only getting two chairs on the beach per room and needing to rent the rest. The room is spacious and the view is amazing. It’s also located in the middle of everything.

Mike, Thank you for your review. I am glad that you loved the condo. We will immediately have the couch cleaned. My Cleaning Staff should have alerted me to the problem. I am so sorry that it had a negative effect on your vacation. Regarding the beach service, we only provide 2 chairs and 1 umbrella per unit. No management company in Destin provides more than that. I will make certain that it states it more clearly on the ad. Donna

Great location, sub par building and condo not well equipped in kitchen.

Location was great and communication with property was also easy. However, the kitchen was not well equipped as far as cooking for large groups, and there wasn’t any extra blankets for pull out sofa, just sheets, and no extra pillows. Either property was not very clean, and we noticed that some of the items in the home were very dusty, dirty, and even the pictures going up the steps had mildew on them.

Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. Since your stay this rental has undergone an extensive remodle from floor to celiling. The new owners have put a lot of thought and love into this unit. We hope you are able to make your way back to see the new and improved Crystal Sands 306A. Thank you again for being our guest.

Great location.

We enjoyed a wonderful spring break. Location was perfect, and the view is amazing. Condo was nice and clean and included basic necessities. Only had one issue, the bed in the primary bedroom downstairs, the "captain quarters" is in desperate need of a new mattress. Without even pulling down the linen (which was nice and plush) you could see large body length indentations on either side of the bed leaving the middle plumped up to where the mattress was pretty much 'W' shape making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. Still a 5 star review, owner just needs to check the mattress out for themselves and invest in a better one.
