Stay at the Caribbean Dunes located in the lovely Crystal Beach area of Destin, Florida. A perfect romantic getaway or an ideal family vacation or snowbirds tranquil retreat.

Our condo is conveniently located on the ground floor just across the street from Crystal Beach! Sidewalks line the streets of our beach community, perfect for morning runs, bike rides or a leisurely stroll. Our beach community is located next to a shop that rents out bicycles, kayaks, and motorcycle scooters. Camille’s is a great restaurant next door as well... ideal for a romantic dinner, a healthy breakfast, and they have live outdoor music in the evenings!

Destin Commons is within walking distance for family dining and shopping. Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Publix and Walgreens are just minutes away. There’s also the Silver Sands Premium Outlets, a 5-10 minute drive, if you need a break from the beach and have an itch to do a little outlet shopping.

For fun family activities, the Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park, the Track and other mini golf courses are also 5-10 minutes away! There are many options to choose from for kids of all ages.

And if you just want to chill out, you can sit on the patio and enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee with a good book. Or you can just decide to walk over to the beach and hang out there instead.

The condo comes with one bedroom, one full bathroom, and can sleep up to six people comfortably. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom, two bunk beds in the hallway, and a queen size pull-out sofa bed in the living area. There is a new 60-inch Smart TV in the living area and a new 50-inch Smart TV in the bedroom, both set up with Netflix. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit.

Spring Break Stay

We had a great time! Perfect spot. Close to everything! And loved how stocked the kitchen was especially when it came to certain items like salt/pepper & coffee filters. Just a nice added touch as it’s 1 thing less to worry about!

Beautiful Condo

They just redid this condo and it's beautiful. The kitchen had everything you needed and I love that they had the basics like toilet paper and paper towels. It's a short walk to the beach and being on the first floor is great so you can just wheel your wagon and beach items right on your patio.

Perfect

The rental was very clean and had everything we needed. I tend to overpack and I didn't need any of it. The rental was such a short walk to the beach my kids didn't even complain! It really was the perfect location since you're so close to the beach without having the beachfront price tag and you're just a couple minutes away from shopping and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!

Location….location….location

Husband and I went down for a short but much needed vacation. Angela was great to work with. The property was exactly as advertised. The best thing was the 1 block walk to the beach. The only downside was something Angela couldn’t control and that was the people in the place above us. Sounded like they were jumping off beds every evening. 😉 Angela and Tom assured the place had all the amenities. We would definitely stay again and wished we could have stayed longer on this trip.

The condo was in a great location. It was also the best stocked condo I have ever stayed in.

I can't say enough good things about this rental. My friends stayed in the same condo directly above us and it was not nearly as well stocked as our condo was. We went to Publix and bought some essentials for our stay and didn't even need them. The owners are super responsive. The location is great and the price can't be beat.

Fall Beach Vacation

Overall the property was as listed. Very clean and in a great location. It is located right on scenic 98. Very little traffic for "at the beach". Great for young children and getting around on foot. Highly recommend this rental.

Wonderful Location

This condo is in a great location. The check in process was easy and allowed social distancing. The condo is a good size for a family. It is fully stocked and very comfortable. The owners are very helpful and quick responders. The only thing I noticed needing some assistance was, the bunk beds have a wooden area that was dusty and the bedroom ceiling fan was dusty. These were very small issues due to all the positives of the condo. We have stayed at other condos in this building and this one meet our family's vacation needs the best . I would definitely stay here again and we will recommend this property to others.
