A lovely spring break!

Our week long stay at this lovely condo was thoroughly enjoyed by us, our adult kids and two grandsons. They loved having the loft as their private family space. The boys especially loved the TV in the bedroom, though they never once turned it on! The condo is very nicely appointed with everything you could possibly want or need. The decor is lovely and the view from the balcony was amazing - from seeing the lifeguards doing their daily drills to dolphin watching! The beach service was much appreciated and the kids made fast friends with others on vacation. We didn’t venture out into Destin very much as we were so comfortable in this condo. Would love to return!

Birthday weekend

This property had an amazing beach view , it was very clean - the owners were excellent with communication which made an easy check In progress— you do have 4 flights of stairs not too bad really -the only strange thing was the bedroom upstairs you have to walk through bathroom upstairs to get to bedroom not a deal breaker at all - would definitely recommend and stay at this beautiful condo / plenty of supplies in the lovely kitchen!!

Best Family vacation yet

There aren’t enough good things to say about this condo. Exceptionally clean, exactly as the listing stated, 30 second walk to the beach. The beach service on the PRIVATE beach was amazing. It was so nice to have 2 chairs and an umbrella. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees from the condo balcony. It was quiet too. Close to many fun things to do and restaurants. After reading previous reviews, we brought a box fan for the loft room and it was perfect to keep it cooler. Absolutely nothing could have been better for us, except maybe booking 2 weeks instead of one. Suzanne was a lovely host as well and was quick to respond to any messages. One thing to keep in mind that was fine for us, if you cannot climb multiple flights of stairs, this may not be a good location for you. It’s on the third floor.

Crystal Villa Vacay

Condo is very nice. Clean with modern amenities. We loved the touchless kitchen faucet. Host was very friendly and answered questions promptly. The third floor balcony view is amazing. Condo is right on the beach. The beach chairs and umbrella that were included really made spending time at the beach a wonderful experience. The location is great for getting away from the crowds but close enough to food or shopping. This is a great place to stay on your vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Hardison

We are Barry and Suzanne Hardison and we are thrilled to have a oceanfront vacation condo in Destin! For 5 years, we owned and rented through VRBO a 1 bedroom condo across the street from the beach. We feel blessed to have this larger, beach-side home which accommodates more family and allows us to consider our young teenagers' desire to bring friends to the beach.

Our family looks forward to any time in Destin. The sound of the waves and the beautiful white sand are so enticing. In fact, our children have even braved the winter waters of the Gulf! There's never a bad day when you are at the beach!

Why they chose this property

Crystal Villas is in the perfect location. In our opinion, it is on the "quiet end" of Scenic Highway 98. This smaller, three story complex is in a prime location to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. You can be as busy or relaxed as you want in the convenient condo.

What makes this property unique

The sense of calm and relaxation our family experiences at the beach is priceless. Our teenage children love to swim in the ocean and pool, and we always enjoy our morning runs as a family on the walking/bike path. Window shopping and eating fresh seafood top our list of "must-do" excursions away from the beach. It is always a blessing to be here.
