Would stay again

The house was great, was well stocked, and slept 10 of us perfectly! Would definitely stay again! Close to the beach, and the pool is right across the street if you prefer that.Only room for 2-3 cars, but not a huge deal for us.

The house was perfect! We were so close to the beach, maybe a five minute walk, which made it great for our teens and older kids who could come and go as they please. The house was clean and functional. Best thing was the outdoor shower. Love Destin and can’t wait to go back!

This place is truly AMAZING! We have stayed here twice now (for a week each time). The house is very clean, decorated well, very spacious very nice appliances, truly a great place to call home on your vacation. They have just about everything you could ever want for a beach house. Stuff like a lot of beach chairs, beach umbrellas, floaties, beach toys for the kids, its own outdoor shower, massive porch to sit out on and enjoy the palm trees and the amazing breeze off the ocean! On top of all of that its just a short walk to the beach and almost right across the street from the community pool! Host was great, and very responsive to our couple of questions. If you are looking for a great place to stay with your family, this is the one!

Arrived to several cockroaches in the rooms, some dead some alive, cleanliness was not great but the home is in a great location for beach access, owner was responsive about our issues but still not pleasant with a 1 and 3 year old.

This is a beautiful home in an outstanding location. Sadly, it needs to be thoroughly cleaned. There were drip marks on some of the blinds, dirt streaks on some of rhe kitchen cabinets, dirty toss pillows and more. Even so, I'd probably stay there again.

Friends summer trip

We loved our stay at crystal delight! Great location, walkable to the beach and just a short drive to some other popular areas around Destin. The house is super cute, a little outdated but still clean and I felt that it added more to the old Florida beach vibe of our trip anyways! The loft area did take a little while to cool down during the hot summer days but the host was nice enough to leave multiple fans in case we needed them. Would definitely stay here again next summer!

great house and great host

We loved the house and the location. It was a short walk to the beach and short drive to shopping and restaurants. There was plenty of room for our three families with children and no surprises. The host was great in responding to communication and very helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Great family vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crystal Delight!! The loved sitting on the porch watching the world go by. The kitchen was amazingly stocked and there were plenty of toys to take to the beach. We loved the short walk to the beach. The house could use some updates and a good cleaning.
