Thank you so much for the five stars! Hosting you was a pleasure, and we look forward to seeing you again!
We enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Destin. The property was perfect and the location was ideal for us - not in the middle of the busy and popular activities but in a quieter, family friendly space. The beach was gorgeous. The condo was exactly as described and we were very pleased. We will be back.
We absolutely love this property. It is incredibly convenient to the beautiful beach and anything you need in Destin. The beachy decor is gorgeous throughout and had everything our family of 5 needed. The balcony has a beautiful view too. We couldn't have asked for a better week!

Great location! The condo was clean. Beds were comfortable. Only complaint is there were no coffee filters, so we had to make an extra trip to the store in the morning. Otherwise, had a wonderful time! Would rent this condo again.

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!
