Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your week at Crystal Sands 209A. It was a pleasure to host you, and we would love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway in the future!
While the place itself is somewhat dated with old TVs, slow WiFi, and old tables and furniture, the entire place was clean and tidy with a great location for a comfortable stay. No issues and was great for a relaxing vacation. Loved the view from the room and the beach access.
Perfect place for my wife and me to vacation. Condo had everything we needed along with amazing views and location. Beautiful beach and the chairs and umbrella were a bonus.
My sister and I stayed here for her birthday, it was perfect! Great communication with management, very clean unit, perfect location! It may be a bit tight for more than 2 or 3 people but it was perfect for us! Would absolutely stay again!

You cannot find a better spot to enjoy all that Destin has to offer. Great location for the beach or eating locations in one of America's most beautiful cities. We'll stay here over and over again!
The place was just the right size and location for just the two of us. We loved having beach service included and set up for us while we were there. Overall we had a good time.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful ocean views, the convenient beach access, and the comfort of the king-sized bed. It’s also great to know that the kitchen had everything you needed for your stay.
We appreciate your understanding regarding the pool renovation. The Condo Association working hard to complete the updates as quickly as possible to enhance our guests’ experience. We hope to welcome you back in the future so you can enjoy all the wonderful amenities Crystal Sands has to offer!
Can’t beat the view and location of the property. The host was easy to communicate with. The unit was clean but can use some updating. The skillets need replaced and stove could use some attention to cleanliness. It is a 8/10.
