The property is very nice and very well located. The only thing they should change are the mattresses and towels, but everything else is perfect.

Hi My mom (Renee) and I own Beach Condos In Destin and we manage 60 different properties currently in Miramar Beach. This is my newest personal condo, see also 855639 and 696150. Originally my family is from the Birmingham area of Alabama, Mom bought condos here in the early 2000s and by 2005 we had opened our company which has steadily grown by word of mouth over the years. Living here really is a dream come true. I love decorating and managing. I love everything about this area the amazing beaches, the food, the shopping and festivals. I am looking forward to doing everything I can to help you love it too. Laura Brooke Clayton
Why they chose this property
Crystal View is amazing! We have managed 5 other units in this building for quite some time now. As a matter of fact my mom owns unit 302 two floors up from this condo. When this condo came on the market, I jumped at the chance to own at Crystal view. Especially ground floor, pet friendly gulf Front. The beach at crystal view is never crowded, and that wrap around balcony and the views are just amazing.
