We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Destin.

Beautiful Unit - Great location

The condo was located in the Crystal Beach area of Destin which was centrally located to everything, and on a beautiful, pristine white stretch of beach. We were able to see the sunrise and sunset from the spacious balcony as well as dolphins at play in the water near shore. The condo itself was updated, clean and spacious and was both well appointed and well equipped. Will definitely come back to #205 Crystal Dunes!
