Crystal Beach is a Seaside-like development on the east side of Destin showcasing lovely vacation rentals. The highly desirable neighborhood has attractive, lush landscaping and is maintained in pristine condition. It's a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Walk minutes to the beach or venture over to nearby restaurants or shopping areas, like Destin Commons.

Area Attractions:

Crystal Beach is a terrific residential area, yet close to restaurants and activities in Destin. Convenient to restaurants such as the award-winning 790 Inn on the Gulf, or Sarah K's Gourmet, get your fro-yo on at U-Twirl Frozen Yogurt or learn how to ride the waves at All-A Board Surf School.

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest! Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

WARNING Find Another Property

We stayed here for my eldest daughters bachelorette. We had 14 of us. We stayed for 4 nights. This is not my first time renting from VRBO. But this is the first time we experienced a house this disgusting. Structure is nice. But overall a very dirty, needs ALOT of work, over priced, not fully furnished, misleading advertising of this property. Roaches in garage where a wall separates the garage and a so-called 4th bedroom with a small queen bed thrown in. roaches under this bed. No dressers or night stands for “4th” bedroom. Luggage would’ve had to be placed on floor. Small AC unit in the window above bed. Black stuff blowing out of unit. Bathroom was nice but door was broken, dry wall in that area not finished. The bar is literally in the same area as this so called room. Called property manager to complain and they brought a bottle of roach spray that they probably stopped at Walmart to purchase. Bathroom mirror broken in upstairs bath. Only 4 lounge chairs by pool, one broken for house that supposedly sleeps 16. Requested more chairs, no show. Upstairs porch also had broken patio chairs. Pool not heated and never cleaned once or chemicals placed in pool while we were there. Floors filthy, very limited kitchen utensils, no pots, no grilling utensils. Not a family friendly rental. Owner probably uses this as a turn and burn. I would save your money before renting this. Plenty of beautiful homes in the area. Disappointing long weekend!

Niece's adult bachelorette party

The overall impression of this property is average. It states that it sleeps 16 people. There were only enough linens, pillows and blankets for 12 people. I had to go out and buy more. The washer was not working and the property management company was aware of it before I event called. It took 3 days to get a new dryer. There was a remote missing for the TV in the basement so we couldn't use it. The pool was constantly dirty. When I called they came and vaccummed it and took the cleaning net with them. Had to call later in the week for the net to be returned to clean out the pool due to rain and the same company came again and didn't leave the net. They stated they were just doing "someone a favor" to help out and it's not their property to take care of. The garbage disposal broke on the 4th day. It seemed like I had to call the maintenance number daily. The cleanliness upon entry smelled good, but the house needs a deep cleaning and updating for sure. The floors and bathrooms were disgusting. For the type of rental it lists and the money that was paid, I and my 15 other adult (30-62 years old) guests were extemely unimpressed.
