โ€œThe Salty Shackโ€ by Five Salty Souls...a haven that will take your breath away as you step out your door to the glistening emerald waters and white sandy beaches. After a long three month project, it has undergone a total renovation with no expense left out to achieve our dream of a modern beach shack vibe. From the moment you walk in the front door, we hope you are transported by the calming and cozy boho style.

This ground floor, one bedroom, 1.5 bath condo is directly on Crystal Sands Beach. Located at Crystal Sands Condominium, Unit 102 B, in the East building.

โ€œThe Salty Shackโ€ features an open floor plan with the fully renovated kitchen and family room overlooking the gulf. There is plenty of space for everyone to be able to gather together.
The built in bunk in the hallway is composed of an upper twin bed, and the lower bed is a Double. We added an additional door in the hallway that essentially creates a second bedroom space when all the doors are closed. The โ€œbunk roomโ€ also has a new tv to create the perfect movie nook!

The private master bedroom is equipped with a King SLEEP NUMBER bed and custom built closet and floating dresser. Beautiful rolling barn doors allow for extra bathroom space.

There is also an additional Queen pull out sofa bed available (with a thick memory foam mattress, no coils).

The kitchen features beautiful Quartz counter tops, floating shelves, and subway tiled walls. It is fully equipped for all your cooking needs and additionally, has a reverse osmosis water system to provide filtered water on those hot days!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the private patio watching the sun rise, or relax in the cozy living room after a day of fun in the sun with the complimentary cable and WIFI.

As you stroll into one of the two 1/2 baths, youโ€™ll be greeted by the beachy stained shiplap walls and custom built floating shelves and vanities. The two half baths lare connected to each other via the tub/shower and washer/dryer room. For those who enjoy taking a hot bath, the tub features a great deep soak.

SEASONAL BEACH CHAIR SERVICE INCLUDED!!
This includes 2 chairs and an umbrella.

Located in the heart of Destin, you are only minutes away from Destin Commons where you can find a plethora of your favorite shops and restaurants (including Whole Foods, Chipotle, and Bass Pro). Publix and the Tanger Outlet Mall are additionally right up the road.

We hope you can cast your cares away, and come enjoy a memorable beach stay at Five Salty Souls.

Destin. Late January, 2025

5 Salty Souls is an amazing place. Open the patio door and see/hear the gulf. Southern exposure sun rises and sun sets, warmth all day. Donโ€™t shy away from the off season in Destin. We missed the โ€œEmerald Coast Snowstorm of 2025โ€ by a week and were treated to a week of beautiful weather.

About the host

Hosted by Peyton Weiss

Host profile image
Hello from the Five Salty Souls, also known as the Weiss gang; Michele, Chelsea, Peyton, Skylar & Aynsley :-) The beach is by far our happiest place to be, and we enjoy the simple things in life like being together, being surrounded by the other half of our family - our pets, and basking in the beautiful sunshine! Though right now Texas is our home, we still cling to our original Floridian roots!

Why they chose this property

We ourselves have vacationed countless times in Destin, and were beyond thrilled this year when we unexpectedly found our own slice of paradise, and now proudly call Five Salty Souls our own. Nothing can compare to having the glistening emerald coast as your backdrop and white sand beckoning you to come have a jaunt on it! We are so excited to have the opportunity to share this incredible place with you.

What makes this property unique

Crystal Sands Condominiums is one of the rare places you will find along the emerald coast where the first floor condos are perfectly raised up, allowing you a panoramic view that you would more commonly see in a second floor unit. There is nothing blocking your view, but rather a fresh boardwalk guiding you to the sand.
