Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from Destin's beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day): they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon-style zero-entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat-screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach. There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items. 

Area Attractions: 

There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and watersports!

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Thank you for your feedback — we’re sorry this stay fell short of expectations. We apologize for the issues you experienced. We’ve shared your comments with our on-site team and owner and will take the following steps: - Pool wristbands/overuse: we’ll coordinate with the HOA/property managers to enforce wristband rules and address non-guest use. - Linens: housekeeping should have provided more than one kitchen towel; we’ll review our inventory processes and ensure extra towels are stocked. - Parking: we’ll speak with property management about overflow parking from neighboring properties and update guest guidance as needed. - Listing accuracy: we’ll review the listing’s beach access and walking-distance descriptions to make sure they’re clear and accurate. - Seating: we’ll audit the property’s seating to ensure there’s adequate seating for the advertised occupancy. If you’re willing, please message us through your Vrbo reservation with any additional details so we can investigate further. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

Property was in a great location to the beach and the pool. The kitchen was smaller than I expected. Very tight if more than 2 people were there at 1 time. Kitchen well stocked. Would be nice if soap was provided in barrooms with extra toilet paper. The floors were very dirty. Could use a good cleaning. Other than that the house was clean. Only a few chairs on the porch. Could use more. Only 6 chairs at the dining table. Could use more
