Caribbean Dunes 111 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Nestled in the heart of Destin and just a few steps from the Gulf of Mexico, this quaint Destin condo is ideal for a fun-filled beach vacation! Its location is one to be envied with the beautiful white beaches only a minute’s walk away and plenty of exciting shops and recreation centers very close by. Hurricane Lanes Bowling Alley, shopping at the Destin Commons, restaurants and several award-winning Golf courses are all within about a mile’s radius. Resting on the bottom floor of Caribbean Dunes, fantastic community pool is only about ten feet from the front door. Float for hours in the refreshing pool waters surrounded by majestic palms, and lounge chairs. Unwind in the hot tub and then break for lunch under a shady umbrella while viewing the emerald waters of the Gulf. Or take an invigorating walk along the bike and walking trail! It winds for miles along the mesmerizing Gulf and passes great local flavors like Camille’s Café and Pompano Joe’s grille. The best part is that a stretch of it goes right past the back patio doors so it’s definitely easy to find! A charming interior of beachy hues, nine foot ceilings, and coastal art create an inviting and comfortable ambiance. The King Primary bedroom enjoys designer furniture and comfortable linens with an adjacent Primary bathroom. Moreover, a bright and cheerful updated kitchen has all the necessities you’ll need for a great family dinner to compliment a great vacation!

Love the location and proximity to the beach and Camilles. The chair, sofa, and the rug are worn and should be replaced but outside of that it was great.. thank you!
Thank you for the positive feedback on the location. We're glad you found the location to be great. We strive to provide a convenient and accessible experience for all our customers, and your review helps us understand what we're doing well. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Beach view from the back patio. Easy 2 block walk to beach access. Camille’s coffee shop and coffee is a block over. The pool is 2 units down and was very well kept. Clean house. Only things lacking were basic cooking essentials like seasoning, foil, and there was no Tupperware for food storage. There was a very minimal amount of silverware as well. Aside from those things, it was a great stay!
Thank you for your positive review of our property. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location and found the accommodations to be satisfactory. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We strive to provide our guests with a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and it's gratifying to know that we succeeded in your case.

We had a wonderful stay. Staying right across the beach is the next best thing to staying on the beach! For the price you can’t beat the convenience. We enjoyed our time and will definitely be back in the future!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the location convenient. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Safe travels!
This stay was better than expected. We’ve never stayed anywhere that wasn’t directly on the beach but the beach access across the road was actually faster than normal for us. Very clean and the poo was shaded around 3 so it made it perfect for our kiddos. Would stay here again!

The rental was clean, comfortable, quiet, and in a great location, steps away from the pool and beach. Checking in and out was super easy and communication from Newman Daily was perfect. We loved the little care package and relaxing on the patio. The kitchen was well equipped. Will stay again, thank you!

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Destin. We look forward to hosting you with Newman-Dailey in the future!
It was very clean and a beautiful condo. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and having a pool and hot tub right by our condo. The kids had a blast! We will definitely be staying again.
We loved our visit to Crystal Beach. The unit was perfect for us. Clean and well equipped. Can’t beat the location as we rode our bikes each day and walked to the beach. The pool area was very nice. Tons of great restaurants within walking/biking. Thank you!

Great location, very noisy though
Place was perfect for small group! But every step a person in the unit above could be heard throughout night. Also any noise throughout the unit could be heard in bedroom with both doors closed!
Dishes were all dirty and sticky as well.

Thank you for your recent review of Caribbean Dunes 111. Caribbean Dunes is in a great location across the street from the beach. We are sorry to hear you had some issues with the noise level and cleanliness of the dishes. Unfortunately, we have no control over the guests upstairs and certain shoes on the tile floors can be loud. We greatly appreciate your feedback about the dishes and have forwarded your comments to the Director of Housekeeping to ensure our 65-point inspection is being followed. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach.

A bit disappointed overall
I was extremely disappointed that the jacuzzi tub in the condo had mold in it and was not able to be used. The jets in the tub were not shown in the picture so this was something you knew about and hid form the advertising. I rented this condo because a jacuzzi tub was Very important to me and a hot tub by the pool was also very important to me. On the 3rd day of the hot tub being cold I contacted the property to tell them the hot tub was cold. It was then fixed. I feel I paid a lot of money for the 2 things that were most important to me and I got cheated on both of them. The location of the condo and the comfort of it was perfect.

Thank you for taking time to leave your review. We are so sorry that your expectations were not met during your stay. Our records could find no report of any problems with the jacuzzi or we would have been more than happy to take care of it during your stay. Our photos are professionally shot to be aesthetically pleasing and rarely show close-ups of the insides of tubs. This does not mean we are trying to hide anything. Our write up of Caribbean Dunes mentions the master bath jacuzzi so we are promoting that feature. Again, as soon as we heard there was a problem with the complex hot tub, we contacted the HOA and that was taken care of in short order. I think the problem here was had we had known about these issues that were so important to you, and had we known as soon as it was discovered, your stay could have been a lot different. We were so happy to hear that you did appreciate the location of this popular unit and that you found it comfortable.
The property, associated with beachfront condos across the street, is a very convenient and cost-effective alternative. The pool is nicer than the beachfront condo pools in the area. The kitchen and whole condo is well-appointed with what you need to enjoy your time. The only negative from us, and we realize it is probably due to the pandemic and Covid protocols, is the inequity in a 4 pm check-in but such an early checkout. Also, the door lock was a little fussy, but everything else was great! We would definitely stay here again.
Place was great,not far from beach, lots of great restaurants not far away. Lots to do! Weather sucked but thats a gamble you always take.

The unit was filthy!!
The unit was not clean, the sofa and chair are filthy, bathroom floor was really filthy with a pile of dark hair in the corner, the thresholds into the bathroom are disgustingly filthy
The kitchen furnishings were totally unacceptable, nothing to use, everything totally mismatched and should be thrown in the trash!! I have pictures of the filth I would love to show you!!
My husband and I enjoyed are stay. The location was convenient to the beach shopping and restaurants. The condo was very clean but a little dated. Perfect for us. Can't wait to come back.
The location was great! For the most part we had all we needed, but the bed was the worst we have tried to sleep on. My husband ended up sleeping on the bunk bed because we couldn’t sleep in the bed together. A new mattress is needed for sure! We had to buy toilet paper because we were there for a full week and there was only one roll.
Location was superb. Destin is like a second home for us, we love being in close proximity to the beach and this condo did not disappoint. We walked literally 1 min to the corner cafe every morning for great breakfast, smoothies and fresh juices.
I absolutely loved this home! It was so close to the beach and the pool was lovely as well. Hoping to book here again in the future!
