โ€œThe Salty Shackโ€ by Five Salty Souls...a haven that will take your breath away as you step out your door to the glistening emerald waters and white sandy beaches. After a long three month project, it has undergone a total renovation with no expense left out to achieve our dream of a modern beach shack vibe. From the moment you walk in the front door, we hope you are transported by the calming and cozy boho style.

This ground floor, one bedroom, 1.5 bath condo is directly on Crystal Sands Beach. Located at Crystal Sands Condominium, Unit 102 B, in the East building.

โ€œThe Salty Shackโ€ features an open floor plan with the fully renovated kitchen and family room overlooking the gulf. There is plenty of space for everyone to be able to gather together.
The built in bunk in the hallway is composed of an upper twin bed, and the lower bed is a Double. We added an additional door in the hallway that essentially creates a second bedroom space when all the doors are closed. The โ€œbunk roomโ€ also has a new tv to create the perfect movie nook!

The private master bedroom is equipped with a King SLEEP NUMBER bed and custom built closet and floating dresser. Beautiful rolling barn doors allow for extra bathroom space.

There is also an additional Queen pull out sofa bed available (with a thick memory foam mattress, no coils).

The kitchen features beautiful Quartz counter tops, floating shelves, and subway tiled walls. It is fully equipped for all your cooking needs and additionally, has a reverse osmosis water system to provide filtered water on those hot days!
Enjoy your morning coffee on the private patio watching the sun rise, or relax in the cozy living room after a day of fun in the sun with the complimentary cable and WIFI.

As you stroll into one of the two 1/2 baths, youโ€™ll be greeted by the beachy stained shiplap walls and custom built floating shelves and vanities. The two half baths lare connected to each other via the tub/shower and washer/dryer room. For those who enjoy taking a hot bath, the tub features a great deep soak.

SEASONAL BEACH CHAIR SERVICE INCLUDED!!
This includes 2 chairs and an umbrella.

Located in the heart of Destin, you are only minutes away from Destin Commons where you can find a plethora of your favorite shops and restaurants (including Whole Foods, Chipotle, and Bass Pro). Publix and the Tanger Outlet Mall are additionally right up the road.

We hope you can cast your cares away, and come enjoy a memorable beach stay at Five Salty Souls.

Beautiful Rental

The condo was beautifully renovated. A ground floor unit in a smaller building with a private beach that had all of the amenities without the crowds. It was a good location with access to restaurants. Cabinets were well labeled so we didn't have to search for items. It was a great trip and we will return.

Perfect location and beautiful

My family had a great time. The location was amazing. We enjoyed the accessibility to the beach that the first floor condo had. We could walk right out the patio to the beach. We also loved that beach service was included!! The only thing that was disappointing was the patio furniture was rusty and we couldnโ€™t really use it because it would stain our clothes/towels. Other than that we had a perfection vacation!! Thanks for sharing your space with us

Such a fun week in a great condo!!

Family of 5, to include our 22 year old daughter, 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter. Plenty of space, smart and attractive updates, useful features, conveniently located for loading and unloading personal items from car to unit and the first floor beach access is beyond amazing. The kitchen is well equipped, everything worked and the filtered water saved us so much time lugging around water bottles! Perfect in every way! We have definitely found our spot for years to come! Oh, and Peyton reached out a few days prior to our arrival to go over everything and confirm our stay. We keep tin close communication during the entire stay and she was beyond helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful week!

Perfect condo!

This property is wonderfully maintained & I especially loved the ease of parking at the door then walking thru & right down to the beach from the patio. Not having to deal with a crowded complex & elevators was a dream come true! Peyton was a fantastic communicative host, she called a week ahead of time to make sure I had all the info & explain everything. I was impressed with the organization of the kitchen (everything was labeled which was awesome),also everything you might need for cooking & a comfortable stay was provided. The mattress was also EXTREMELY comfortable as well as the new bedding which is a rarity for beach condos. We slept great! Beach chairs & umbrella were provided as well which was so nice. The location is also perfect with plenty of food & shopping nearby.

Best Condo at Crystal Sands

From the moment you walk into this condo you can notice all the little details that this condo has. The owners must of walked through the condo and literally put themselves in their guest perspectives and thought how they could make everything comfortable and convenient for their future guest and they nailed it. Everything was well constructed and the attention to detail was very nice. We got some rainy days and my husband said he did not minded staying stuck inside the condo for days from how much he liked it. Peyton is very friendly, and you can tell even from the call we received a few days before our stay. Weโ€™ve stayed in Crystal sands condos for 3 years in a row and this condo has been our favorite stay by far, totally, totally recommended!

What a joy!

If you want to treat yourself to a fantastic oceanfront vacation, this is the place! The unit is beautifully renovated, and the owners have thoughtfully and lovingly designed the space with an eye for style and function. Everything is immaculate and perfectly organized. The kitchen has everything you need, including an instant pot, ninja blender, and new coffee maker. Owners have installed a reverse osmosis water system, so you have filtered water. Beds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of storage space for all your stuff. This is the perfect setup for a family. The manager Peyton was communicative and handled any questions I had within minutes. Lastly, I must mention the beautiful ocean view - when you walk outside, you are on the beach! What a wonderful spot for a vacation, I hope we are able to return, thank you Peyton!

About the host

Hosted by Peyton Weiss

Host profile image
Hello from the Five Salty Souls, also known as the Weiss gang; Michele, Chelsea, Peyton, Skylar & Aynsley :-) The beach is by far our happiest place to be, and we enjoy the simple things in life like being together, being surrounded by the other half of our family - our pets, and basking in the beautiful sunshine! Though right now Texas is our home, we still cling to our original Floridian roots!

Why they chose this property

We ourselves have vacationed countless times in Destin, and were beyond thrilled this year when we unexpectedly found our own slice of paradise, and now proudly call Five Salty Souls our own. Nothing can compare to having the glistening emerald coast as your backdrop and white sand beckoning you to come have a jaunt on it! We are so excited to have the opportunity to share this incredible place with you.

What makes this property unique

Crystal Sands Condominiums is one of the rare places you will find along the emerald coast where the first floor condos are perfectly raised up, allowing you a panoramic view that you would more commonly see in a second floor unit. There is nothing blocking your view, but rather a fresh boardwalk guiding you to the sand.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
