About this property
Crystal Sands 208B - Gulf Front, Heated Community Pool, Free Beach Service!
Crystal Sands 208B -
Happiness is crystal sands and jeweled waves on the Emerald Coast! Crystal Sands 208B is a quaint vacation condo located in Destin’s Crystal Beach neighborhood. The coastal-inspired condo radiates with beachy elegance and serenity. In addition to its front-row seat to Gulf Coast views, it features one bedroom and one and a half bathrooms. The condo can entertain up to six vacationers, making it great for a family vacay, romantic trip for two, girls’ getaway, or any other small-group getaway.
The main great room highlights the condo’s tropical location. A double set of sliding glass doors offers incredible beach views and leads to a Gulf-front balcony. The balcony is furnished with a table and chairs, making it a great place to relax in solitude or with your fellow guests. Coastal décor, blue accents, sea-inspired furnishings, and white tile floors add to the beach vibe. The living room includes a queen-size sleeper sofa, two patterned accent chairs, a hardwood-topped drink table, a white credenza, and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV. The coziness continues into the dining area, which has a dining table for two next to a cute beach painting. The adjacent kitchen features custom white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a seascape painting and beach décor, and a granite-topped bar with stool seating for four. The lovely master suite boasts a king-size bed, sunny window, flatscreen TV mounted above a large dresser, and a private bath with a granite-topped vanity and glass-walled, walk-in shower. Additional sleeping space comes in the form of twin bunks tucked in a bunk nook off the living room.
When you stay at Crystal Sands, you’ll also enjoy other vacation amenities. The condo complex features convenient beach access. Within minutes, you can go from watching the waves on your beachfront balcony to jumping in the salty water for a refreshing swim! Guests will also have access to the community pool, sundeck, and BBQ grill.
While this great location is laidback and feels secluded, it is also near an abundance of Destin fun, so you have the best of both worlds! Check out popular Gulf-front restaurants like the Crab Trap and Captain Dave’s. Browse the shops at Destin Commons or enjoy a discount shopping spree at Silver Sands Premium Outlets. Catch a fireworks show at the Village of Baytowne Wharf. Rent a private charter at HarborWalk village and head out for a fun-filled, Gulf excursion. Look up nearby live concerts and seasonal festivals. The possibilities for making vacation memories are nearly endless!

It’s wonderful to hear you had such a great experience. We're glad the rental met your expectations. We can’t wait to host you again on your next beach escape! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
Great location and loved the proximity to the beach. A little dated in some areas as far as the building goes, I feel the price point is little high, but did come with beach service, we will probably be back.

Only thing that we noticed is the pocket door is broken between the bathrooms other than that it was an excellent property.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Unfortunately we do not provide any beach towels as they are prone to go missing. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and hope that your travels bring you back soon. Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts!
This property was just as listed. Very nice and clean with a beautiful ocean view. The king bed is pretty firm but was comfortable. The condo was stocked enough for our needs. Beach is private and kept the crowds down which was very nice! The pool is very basic and faces the parking lot. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!

We love the Crystal Sands condos! The view from the balcony is perfection! This unit is clean and well stocked. The decor is nice. This location is so great for a family vacation! It’s directly on the beach and also close to shops and restaurants.

Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the upkeep of the property. We hope to see you on the shore again soon!
We enjoyed our stay here. One thing I’ll say is if you have a toddler/child that takes baths keep in mind this condo only has a shower so you’ll want to plan accordingly. Other than that our stay here was nice.

The condo was neat, well stocked and on the beach. And the included chairs and umbrella was like frosting on a cake. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation.

The view from the balcony is beautiful. Everything was as described. It was the perfect spot for my family of 3. Communication with the property owner was easy and she answered my questions in a timely manner. I would stay here again.

Just would suggest the plumber check out the bathroom sink with the closet and the toilet in the other bath as it clogged.

The property and condo is very clean. We had such an enjoyable stay! Only issue was that housekeeping came to our door at 8:15 the day of checkout. We were prepared to leave by 10:00. We didn’t quite understand that.

Great! Let us know when you would like to return. Thank you for your review and choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
We really liked the condo. It was clean. Building was well maintained. My only suggestion would be to install new toilets, they are old and low. Other than that, everything was great.
