We enjoyed our stay, as it was close to the local public beach and local restaurants. The unit needs some updates, but nothing that affects the overall experience. We would stay here again.

Second time staying in this condo. Love the location across Scenic 98 from the beach. Walking distance to a few restaurants and a short drive to Pompano Joe's for the best gumbo. Unit is clean with a nice balcony for gulf views and people watching.

This place was great! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. When we had questions there was zero wait time for a response! although a little out dated it felt like home. The view was great and access to the beach was amazing. Now when they say hair dryer I recommend you bring your own. There is also no elevator which was a little inconvenient but not to much work with the steps right outside the door. The owner even called and made sure I trip was going well. Access to the shops and everything we wanted to do was no more than 15 minutes with the traffic. I would recommend this place to everyone. You didnt hear the neighbors and could see the pool from your balcony. all and all a great place. plus the beds were super comfortable.

Nice Condo

Loved staying here over Thanksgiving. Walking distance to Miller's Ale House which is a great place to catch a game. The unit was well maintained. Convient beach access even though it is across Scenic 98 from the beach there are public beach accesses at either end of the building. Hope to stay here again next Thanksgiving.

Great view

I took my granddaughter here for a graduation present along with my son and one of her friends.the property was clean and had everything that was listed in the description. Check in was easy, and the owners were in communication before and during our stay. The condo had a little wear and tear with paint, blinds ect but overall was perfect for us. The location was within easy access to everything Destin has to offer. The view of the ocean from the balcony was beautiful, I would definitely stay there again, also worth mentioning it is on the third floor so if anyone has mobility issues you may need to look for something with easier access.

The Landlord, Maria, was very friendly and responded to my emails and phone calls in a very timely fashion. The unit is very spacious and in the best condo complex in Destin, Grand Caribbean East. The grounds are kept up and everyone is very friendly. I also believe that this particular unit has the best view available. I will always remember getting up in the morning, opening up the French doors and sitting with my cup of coffee on the deck and watching the dolphins swim across the pristine, emerald gulf. The sunsets were spectacular as well. I will surely stay there again.

Stop looking!!!

You have found the best condo available. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and spaciousness of this condo! It's right across the street from the BEST public beach access point there is. My husband is a chef and he took some items from home just in case. There was no need! Maria has this place completely decked out with everything you need. Everything was perfect! Best owners, best beach, best view, best condo! Your search is over, BOOK NOW before someone else gets your dates!

Picture perfect and AWESOME!

This condo is absolutely heaven. We couldn't have been more pleased and surprised by how spacious, clean, comfortable, inviting and relaxing it was. And the view! If you aren't beachfront, you couldn't do any better than than this! From the third floor balcony you get a clear view of the water extending to the horizon line. You can set up chairs on the beach, come back and keep an eye on your stuff from the windows. Wake up and enjoy coffee while watching the walkers and cyclists go by and see what's going on out there on the sand. It is an amazing spot and we will definitely return. I have stayed in places on Scenic 98 for the past 15 years, big and small, and this is of the best all around I have been in. I can't wait to return!

Not a bad place just needs proper maintenance.

This property wasnt bad but it just needed some proper maintenance. We needed a place to stay for our trip and it was perfect as far as location to the beach for a reasonable price. Here are some things you may want to know before you rent. The host did not communicate very well. Sometimes I would go days without a response. You may want to call the number provided if you do not get a timely response. It is on the third floor with no elevator only stairs. The hallway bathroom has a plug hanging away from the wall, the toilet was leaking and we had to change towels out behind the toilet all week to keep the floor dry, and the vanity light had one ballast that was broken and hanging down. There were multiple spots on the laminate floor where glue was exposed and broken pieces of the flooring were exposed so becareful walking bare foot. The couch had a masive rip in it behind the cushions and the pillows were spewing feathers all over the place making them uncomfortable to sit on. With all that being said we still enjoyed our trip because we used the place with the intention of holding our stuff while we enjoyed the beach and Destin as a whole. Not a bad place just needs some repair work done.

Great location

The only issues I have are the front door locks needs attention. Bothe the dead bolt and the door locks need to be addressed. Both keys have to be wiggled in order for the locks to work. The deadbolt never worked at all with the key. One of the cook top burners was cracked so we never used it. Both minor problems which do not degrade my 5 star rating. Thanks

Fisher Family 2024 vacay

We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed the ocean view from the balcony. The only thing I was disappointed in was the kitchen supplies. There were only 3 or 4 forks, no toaster oven and not very many measuring Cup/spoons. Also, the dishwasher would not dissolve Or the liquid detergent that was provided. We ended up having to hand wash the dishes. When we got there and checked in, there were dirty utensils in the utensil drawer. When doing laundry it was difficult at times to get the wet clothes into the dryer because the door would not stay open. Sometimes it took two of us to transfer the laundry, 1 person holding the door and the other one, transferring it out of the washer into the dryer. The washer and dryer worked great. The door just needs to be fixed to stay open.

Great place!!

The best part is being able to walk right across the street to the beach!! And not only that, you can press a button and the traffic stops for you!! That feature is great for the kids. Also, with the beach being right across the street, there’s no loading and unloading the car with all the kids and all the stuff. The only drawbacks are that Destin has too much traffic, and there was no toaster at the condo. There are attractions around if you can find any that aren’t too expensive. Perfect place to go to if all you care about is the beach!!!

Perfect Location!

This is our 2nd time staying here. It’s across the road from the beach access and we could see the water from our balcony and people watch. We enjoyed our stay on Crystal Beach! It wasn’t real crowded until the end of the week. We didn’t have issues so we didn’t need to contact the host. He did check in and see how things were going. The only thing I would change is the lock to a keyless entry door.
