Notes

We both have traveled to many different beaches but we just kept coming back to Destin!! The location of this condo offers so many advantages. All shopping is North just a bike ride away, Close to Destin Harbor and its restaurants and night life. But still very close to Sandestin and Seaside. Great walking and biking path right outside the front door! Beautiful white sand beach right outside the back door! Matthew Wink

WE WILL DEFINATELY BE REFERRING THIS CONDO TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS ! IT'S AN IDEAL LOCATION ! The pictures definately accurately reflected the condo's appearance and location... OCEAN FRONT ! Don't forget to eat at The Donut Hole, and we also love The Back Porch ! Matt was sooooo helpful and was exactly the type of person I want to deal with every year as I plan my vacation ! Thanks Matt, especially for letting me have the condo YOU planned for your family that very weekend on such late notice... wow !

Sitting on back porch was like being on the beach

We’ve stayed in several units at Crystal Sands but never on first floor. It was great! Everything was great we loved it.

Great place!

This is our second time to stay in this property. We love the lower level so that we can walk right out to the beach with no stairs/elevator. Great location with nice sidewalks for walking or riding bikes. Beach umbrella service is provided at no extra charge and no hassle.

Great ground level condo

Love the beach front location on the ground level. Condo was perfect for us as we enjoyed the beach vaca. Very nicely decorated with everything we needed. We did not use the spartan pool however that wasn't why we were down there (beach). Owner was very easy to get along with and had excellent communications both before and during our stay. Would highly recommend.

Perfect!
