Condos directly on the Gulf
Dunes of Crystal Beach 102 is Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Destin, Florida has achieved its charming reputation by exceeding visitors expectations vacation after vacation. That’s part of what makes Dunes of Crystal Beach 102 unique- you have an idea of what to expect from this upscale beachfront condo... and then your expectations are completely exceeded.
This Destin vacation rental sits directly on the beach but it goes above and beyond by being one of the closest condos in Destin to the waters edge- you could almost dive right in from the 40 ft, private balcony! Yes, you probably guessed that it has many upgrades but again it surprises with its 10 ft ceilings, travertine tile floors, inset lighting and granite countertops throughout. The kitchen is especially impressive with stainless steel appliances, a wine cooler, plenty of cookware and of course- spectacular views of the Gulf through the oversized sliding glass doors. Moreover, conveniences like a full laundry room and plenty of seating add the comforts of home.
Each bedroom enjoys beautifully coordinated, beach themed decor bursting with vibrant colors and replete with comfortable furnishings. Plus, the primary suite is a paradise all its own- access to the furnished balcony; a luxury bathroom with dual vanities, a walk-in shower featuring double shower heads and a spa bathtub- yes, you guessed it...will exceed your expectations yet again.
Apart from a location that is within walking distance to restaurants and shops, Dunes of Crystal Beach has some great amenities to offer its guests. Gated entry, assigned parking in a garage, deeded beach access, a fitness center, a grilling area and a spacious pool deck are among the extras that will make a vacation here the substance of dreams.

This condo was beautiful. Perfect location on the beach. Plenty of room for our family of 8. The kitchen could use some upgraded utensils, pots and pans but we enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen.

Mattresses extremely uncomfortable, new beach chairs stolen, and no water pressure in showers, but great location!

Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay. We were happy to see that you felt the location of Dunes of Crystal was great. We are sorry that you found the mattresses to be uncomfortable….mattress preference is subjective and most owners try to go with something that is neither too soft or too firm. We have checked out the water pressure and found no issues, but we are sorry that you were not satisfied. We encourage guests to let us know when their vacation experience disappoints in some way. As a local management company we are available 7 days a week to help our guests and answer questions. We hope you will give us another opportunity to host you again at the Beach!
The condo was beautiful. We had a family vacation and the view from balcony was breathtaking. We will definitely be coming back.

A little disappointed
Condo was decorated nicely and had plenty of linens and extra blankets. Kitchen well stocked with cooking items if you wanted to cook. Master bed is like laying on concrete. We could not sleep on it and slept on the couches. I saw this mentioned in a previous review from 2023 and was hoping it had been changed. The pool at this property seems like an afterthought. Weird set up and very small. Lounge chairs aren’t by the pool and it’s so narrow between the wall and pool you can’t move them closer. Balcony furniture is very comfortable and plenty of places to relax. Check in and out was a breeze, no problems with that. It’s a nice condo but I wouldn’t book again because of the master bed and pool as mentioned above.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a detailed review of your stay. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us to identify areas for improvement. We are glad to hear that the condo was decorated nicely and well-stocked with linens and cooking items. However, we regret that the master bed did not meet your expectations. We will look into addressing this issue. As for the pool, we will review the layout and consider ways to enhance the guest experience. We value your business and hope that you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a more comfortable and enjoyable stay in the future.
We have stayed at this building in different units for several years. 4 bedrooms is a nice size for a multi/ generational group. The beach service is great. Also would like to suggest each unit is equipped with a way to dry your beach towels out on the balcony since the railing is not to be used.
