Was a perfect place for us. We were working in the area doing some construction and needed a place suitable for us and this place was absolutely perfect. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets!
Very nice and right on the beach. Loved the umbrella and chair service. Host was very attentive and stayed in touch asking us if we needed anything. Had a great 2 weeks on the beach!!!
Have stayed in Crystal Sand over a dozen times and it does not disappoint. Smaller complex and easy beach access makes it perfect. This unit was quite nice and very clean.
We would stay here again! The condo was right by the elevator, convenient for my elderly father, the beach was right out back, and it was clean. The owners were very responsive and friendly.

We enjoyed our time at 309A. The property was clean upon arrival, we had an easy check in and the property manager was easy to communicate with. This condo is in a perfect location and we took advantage of the beach chair service. We would stay here again!

We had a great week at the beach at 309A. Steps from the beach and 5 minutes from Publix, what more do you need? Everything was very clean and all the appliances worked. The property manager is a quick text away. 10/10 Would love to stay again.

Thank you for taking time for this AWESOME feedback. Hard to beat Crystal Sand's location, amenities, etc.
Come back soon!
We booked this condo last minute for a family getaway with my mom and sisters. The location was fabulous, the beach view was amazing, loved the layout for our group, enjoyed the daily beach service, and the condo was perfectly furnished to make our group really comfortable. Plenty of silverware and nice cookware. We sat out on the balcony every morning and ate dinner out there in the evening. We didn’t wanna leave. We’ve been coming to Destin for the last 20 years and I think this might be our favorite condo yet! We will definitely try to stay here again. Thanks so much!
We loved the location! The condo was clean and nicely furnished. The only negative we have to say is with the master bedroom mattress. It was very uncomfortable. A nice condo deserves a nice mattress.
