Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. House was clean and well stocked with extra necessities such as cleaning supplies, towels, tissue etc. The beach towels were great to have as we did not need to pack our own. Our only issue we wished was better was a space to store our groceries. We cooked almost all meals and there was no pantry available so we had all the countertops full of groceries. Overall it was a wonderful week in Destin.Lastly we had very quick response to all needs or questions we had during the week.

The Sandpiper-August 2026

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfectly located for our group. Close enough to the beach to walk. Also walking distance to Destin Commons. !5 minutes from Big Kahuna's, 20 minutes to the Harbor and 15 minutes to the Outlet Mall. The house has a good floor plan and is exceptionally well stocked and decorated. We were very surprised. Good communication from the management also. If I could change anything it would be to provide a little shade for the pool in the afternoons and talk to the beach service. They set up at 9:00 am and start taking down chairs and umbrellas at 3:30.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Aug, 2026
Hi Chris, we are so glad you all enjoyed the home and the close proximity to all that Destin has to offer! We will absolutely pass this information regarding the beach service and shade to the owners of the home. Thank you again, The Frangista Beach Properties Team

The house was amazing, clean, great ac, and everything you need. The host Hector was one of the best i have ever dealt with. The only problem we had, was it had even more than we anticipated in the house from the listing, which is a great problem. If ever going back to Destin, it will be a Frangista property

Great spot.

House was ready and super clean. The location was a few blocks to the beach and we enjoyed using the umbrella and chairs along with beach toys. The pool was small but nice. Being on the corner lot was a bit loud on a few nights. The porches were very relaxing. Overall really nice.

Outstanding Experience From Start to Finish

We had an absolutely wonderful time at this property. This was easily our best experience with VRBO. The property is beautiful, exceptionally well maintained, and immaculately clean. Having a pool, a short walk to the beach, and several walking options for shopping and dining was wonderful. More than just the property and amenities, the hosts of this VRBO went above and beyond to answer questions, proactively reach out, and make absolute certain our stay was wonderful. I give this experience six stars out of five and I’m exceptionally picky. Thus is a an absolute find!

Amazing Stay

A few days before the trip the management company reached out about construction at the house right next to the one we rented. They offered us a different house (much better with many more extras) at no additional charge. They updated everything quickly with no extra hassle for us. They also communicated quickly by text and were extremely helpful. The location of the house we originally rented and the new one was PERFECT and extremely close to everything!

WE LOVED IT!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Sandpiper was amazing for us! We had plenty of room and there were 2 families so it was nice not being right on top of each other. We especially liked that you helped out by keeping extra beach towels. The only thing I would have liked was we were in the downstairs bedroom and it didn’t have a ceiling fan so maybe keeping a fan in the closet for people if they would like to use one. We will definitely be staying here again!!!

Carl, Thank you for your amazing review of our Crystal Beach home, The Sandpiper. We will pass along your suggestion about the ceiling fan. That specific room used to have bunk beds so that's why that room currently doesn't have one. See you again in 2023! Frangista Beach Properties

Sandpiper

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was lovely, comfortable and close to the beach. The kids loved the pool and my brother in law loved the horse shoe pit. I loved the balcony off the upstairs bedroom. There was plenty of space for our group of 6. It was really nice to have the beach set up during the busy spring break time, we knew we already had a spot. The driveway definitely only holds 2 cars. We had 2 trucks which worked but was a little tight. We didn’t end up renting a cart which was good since it would not have fit in the driveway with the trucks.

Great Pool Area and Close to the Beach

We were very pleased with our stay. The house was very clean and the property managers were so nice and responded quickly. During our stay the beach wagon broke and they brought us a brand new one that evening. The walk to the beach was very easy, a straight walk and less than 5 minutes. The beach was so beautiful too! We were here during a very busy spring break week so there was more traffic noise next to the pool area than on a non busy week. Luckily I brought a bluetooth speaker and we tried to drown out some of the traffic noise with music. The storage for the pool/beach toys needs a little TLC and organization. One perk to this property was the owner provided two beach chairs and an umbrella already set up at the beach. That made it nice because we already had a spot claimed at the busy beach. There are a lot of great restaurants and shopping areas close by which we enjoyed during our stay. I was very impressed with the Frangista Beach Property managers and we would recommend their company to anyone!

Wonderful Trip for Our Family of 5!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was perfect for our young family of 5! We have 3 girls (11, 8, 5). The location is fantastic and so convenient. It's a straight shot to the beach (less than a 5 minute walk) and it was so easy to get onto the main road that has all the restaurants and shopping in the area. The beach was awesome and the water was so beautiful. The house itself was the perfect amount of space for our family. The decor was awesome and the pool, fire pit and porches were huge pluses for all of us! We love that it included beach and pool toys as well as chairs to take to the beach. The bedrooms were so comfortable for all of us! We originally thought they'd want to stay in the bunk room but ended up choosing the upstairs bedroom that had the daybed and trundle bed in addition to the King bed. They loved it! We'll definitely be back! Thank you!

Great Time with the Spring Breakers!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sandpiper in early March. We were blessed with sharing the beautiful Crystal Beach community with loads of sorority and fraternity friends who were on spring break from college. But it was all in good fun and there was no unreasonable partying going on. The area continued to offer it's amazing peaceful beach setting especially in the early morning when my grandson and I took walks enjoying the picket fences and dodging the automatic sprinkler systems. We paid to heat the pool and LOVED that! Unlike the ocean water, our pool was perfect on the cool days. We also enjoyed the front porch, and the outdoor fireplace adirondacks. And we LOVED the beach service!! We were impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked, and with the cleanliness of the house. There are a few quirky things like where the switches are for the lights--and the fact that the primary (or master)bedroom is the one that sleeps extras on the trundle (so my daughter and granddaughers got it instead of us). William was super easy to work with and very attentive to our minimal needs. We were impressed with the app Frangista properties uses and with the personal attention we received coming and going. Great experience! And would definitely rent from Frangista again!
