About this property

Salty Seas Gulf Front Oasis

FREE BEACH CHAIR SERVICE DURING SEASON (Mar - Oct) & BEACH TOWELS PROVIDED

Is the beach life screaming your name? Are you looking to slow life down a bit from your hectic real world schedule? Well, look no further as our newly renovated one bedroom beachfront condo, or our home away from home as we call it, has it all! Crystal Sands is ideally located just steps from the white sands and warm waters of Crystal Beach and minutes (1mi) from the famous Destin Commons and a few of the infamous beachfront food destinations Destin offers like The Crab Trap, Surf Hut, Camille's and Pompano Joe's. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach from inside the condo close to the ocean style!

Our passion is your experience and we'll do everything we can to make sure you'll remember your trip for a lifetime here at Salty Snow Properties.

Crystal Sands is a low rise (3 story) condo building with a private beach so you can avoid the crowds. It's also perched nicely above the crystal blue waters for amazing views of the beach and waters. Nothing better than watching the sun set from the patio as the dolphins swim by in our opinion! Except maybe a cold beverage to go along with it!

With a first class design, luxury amenities, and an unbeatable convenient location you'll find it all here as Crystal Sands! You can enjoy an outdoor pool or watch the kiddos build sand castles while you get dinner ready or read a book on the patio. It's truly an unrivaled experience and we'd love to share our family condo with you.

You name it, it's new in our unit. We recently redid everything from floor to the ceiling. New floors, cabinets, appliances, quartz countertops, king size bed, sofa with a pullout, and a new TV to unwind after a long day playing in the sand. If comfort is what you desire, comfort is what you'll get; as we believe our second home should be just as comfortable, if not more, than our primary residence.

You'll also be welcomed to a fully stocked kitchen for those with a passion for cooking, or looking to save a few bucks. Cooking not your thing? Mix a few drinks with the blender or open a bottle of wine before you head to one of the delicious restaurants that we've provided in the suggestions guide at the unit.

We strive to create an atmosphere that'll allow you to make the lifetime memories you came to Destin to achieve. A beachfront paradise where you park your car outside to open the door to an ocean view that makes you forget about it all right away so you can....VACATION! The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach inside don't hurt either....or at least that's what we think!

So what are you waiting for? Come stay with us and see all that Destin has to offer!

This is a private one bedroom condo that you will have full use and access to during your stay.

We are available before, during and after your stay. Just a phone call, text or email away! We have included a binder in the unit of places we like to venture out to to get you pointed it the right direction for some of the additional amenities and hot spots around the area.

The condo complex is located right on Crystal Sands beach. The sand is so fine it squeaks beneath your feet as you're walking towards the water. Magical! We are within minutes of several great restaurants and bars. We're also a mile walk/drive to Destin Commons where there are several shops and restaurants to keep you busy throughout your stay. On the beach you're able to rent paddle boards, jet skis and some other smaller equipment. If you're looking for something bigger or other activities they are also close by and some suggestions are included in the binder we conveniently located in the condo for reference during your stay.

Most guests arrive with a car when coming to visit and you'll have access to the free parking lot at the complex. Some guests even choose to bring along or rent bikes while vacationing as it can be a fun way to see some of the sites and hope around the area. There are racks to lock them up.

Check out our reviews on our other unit in this building too as we just listed this one 1/13/21. (VRBO:1765260, 726646, 2174003). We love what we do at the beaches of Destin and in the mountains of Breckenridge, CO.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful stay on our first trip to Destin FL. The 2nd floor unit was tastefully decorated with plenty of kitchenware & bath linens. We enjoyed starting each day with coffee on the balcony and ended each evening watching the sunset. Having chair service on the beach was a nice perk too! The host was very helpful & responsive with our questions from booking through our stay. If/when we get to Destin again we would definitely stay again! back to

AMAZING VACATION AGAIN!

This place is amazing. This is a 2nd year and we loved it more than last year. Waking up to coffee on the balcony with the beautiful view, watching dolphins and the sunset were incredible. We cannot recommend Gulf Front Oasis enough! We felt like we were at home. Everything you need is there and so comfortable. The convenience of the daily chair service is so awesome. We love this place and hopefully will return next year with our children and grandchildren.

Spring break getaway

Overall this place is great! Especially for a small family. Property is an older one with not a lot of amenities. But inside the unit is updated and quite comfy. Only three stories so not crowded and traffic was not an issue. If relaxing is your main goal, this place is for you!

Responsive Owner. Full Kitchen. Beach Front.

Great place to stay. When booking I had a few questions and Nick was very courteous and quick to answer. My family has food allergies and having a full kitchen with all the things you can possibly need to cook the right foods was a high plus. It was nice and quiet during our stay and we all slept very well. Being close to all the attractions Destin has to offer was another plus; my favorite attraction was the Buccaneer pirate ship cruise and of course -the dolphin cruise . The real reason I visited Destin was for the beach and you cannot beat the ocean view from this property, just steps away from the salty waters of the Gulf of Mexico, which I enjoyed swimming in.

Nice, older condo on the beach.

The location was superb, right on the beach! The condo is an older one, but nicely done, lots of new finishes. No tissues and only two little bars of soap for 10 days. Since it's an older condo noise transfer (from people living above us) was pretty bad. The neighborhood was condo after condo, very few restaurants within walking distance.

We enjoyed our time!!

We had a great stay. Perfect location and wonderful view. A couple of things to note. The couch is no longer blue. It is a very hard pleather. The mattresses are broken down and not comfortable. Last, be prepared to wash towels everyday. There were maybe 6 body towels and wash rags There was one kitchen rag and 1 kitchen towel. So bring your own towels. Everything else was great 😊

Wonderful condo with great views!

We had a wonderful stay! We loved everything about the property and the pictures and description were spot on. Nick was great at helping and responding with any needs we had. Our kids loved the bunks with individual TV’s and we could have spent all day on the beach or enjoying the view from the attached deck/porch. Everything we needed for the beach was provided- towels, sand toys, chairs + umbrella, and even extra chairs. The condo also had everything you could possibly need for the week- paper towels, trash bags, dishes/cooking supplies, laundry detergent, dish soap, toilet paper and bath towels. The building itself was old but it was cleaned several times while we were there and the condo was completely updated with anything you could possibly need for a beach vacation! We will definitely come back again!

Great Location

We had a great stay in Destin. Perfect location, close to everything. The condo was clean but could really use a deep cleaning. The beds were horrible. They definitely need updated. I feel the beds are important when renting a condo as sleeping in the condo is the most important thing. Most people spend their evening out but want a good nights rest before the next day. The skillets were not great either. Just a few cons as to why I went down a star. Would I stay here again or recommend this condo considering the cons. Absolutely. Communication was great, smooth transaction and the facility is kept up. Thanks!

This would have been an excellent rating on the condo the view from the balcony was tremendous. The condo next to mine was under construction and the guys was working on Saturday and Sunday from 8am til 6pm. Finally talked to my condo rep Sunday morning and he was prompt in responding and the noise stopped around noon but it started back up by 2 and lasted til 6. My wife and I were there for our sons wedding on the beach and decided to pay extra for beach view since she can't be in the sun very long. We asked for a partial refund but nothing so far.

My wife and I are Iowa natives with an affinity for travel and guest experience. Currently running vacation rentals in Destin, FL and Breckenridge, CO we feel absolutely blessed to call these our home away from home and we would be delighted to share our passions for travel and guest experience with you as the hosts' who inspired us so graciously have.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the views and proximity to town and the beach.

We love this property because the beach never gets to crowded beings there are no high rise buildings around; and because the town center is just a mile away if you need anything or want to go grab a bite to eat. Everything is walkable and the sunset and dolphin watching are unbeatable in our opinion.
