We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home to be spotless and beautifully maintained. Knowing the fenced yard and sparkling pool were a hit, along with the convenient location, makes us so glad we could help make your Destin trip special. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
Such a cute and comfortable home. The kitchen had everything we needed for a few meals we cooked at the house. The bed in the master ( the only one we used) is very comfortable. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach and then lounging in the pool in the backyard. Even though there are 2 or 3 story homes on either side, the backyard is very secluded and private. We had a lovely stay and appreciate that we got to enjoy it with our large dog. Great stay!

Cute place but pool could have been bigger. Not too sure if sheets were clean, we had to wash them. They had a bad smell, but landlord did tell us about it beforehand and compensated us for it. We still had a good time!

I’m sorry again about the issue with the linens and appreciate your understanding. Had we known there was an issue with the linens during your stay, we would have taken care of it right away. We’re continuing to work with our cleaning team to ensure this doesn’t happen again in the future.

We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the chance to host you again in the future.
We loved our stay at Chrystal Beach! It was a short walk to the public beach access and our four-legged family members loved the fenced in back yard area. We will definitely look in to booking this rental again in the future!

We went there for a spring break trip with my daughter and a group of her friends. The place was clean and the process of working with everyone was seamless. A very quick walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay! House was clean and more spacious than we thought..kitchen was fully stacked with all your needs. Bed was comfortable- we didn’t need the other rooms but it was nice to spread out…. Great location !

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed your stay and that the cleanliness and spaciousness of the house exceeded your expectations.
It warms our hearts to know that the fully stocked kitchen and comfortable bed added to the overall positive experience. We understand the importance of a good night's sleep and a well-equipped kitchen during a stay, and we're delighted that we could provide that for you.
It's great to hear that the option to spread out in the other rooms added a touch of luxury to your stay, even if not fully utilized. We designed our space to create a home away from home, and we're delighted that you felt that way. The location is one of our favorite aspects, and we're glad it added convenience to your exploration of the surroundings.
Your kind words mean the world to us, and we genuinely appreciate your feedback. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future.
This pet-friendly home offers a nice blend of indoor and outdoor living. The house is a comfortable respite from long days spent at the nearby beach. The backyard is inviting, with a nicely landscaped little pool area that's perfect for relaxation and unwinding after the day’s activities. The only drawback during our stay was that upon arrival the provided beach chairs were a sandy mess behind the tiki bar—merely a cleaning issue, but still disappointing that we needed to tidy the area to fully enjoy our stay.

Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share it. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The property was nice. I left a note when we left. The one blind needs replaced and the blue plastic glasses were not in the best shape. The bed was very comfortable. The outside was great for the dogs. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks so much Jan
