We had the best time! The condo was super clean and welcoming! Being right on the beach made our beach days a breeze with our 3 young kids. Can't wait to come back!

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a wonderful stay and that the easy beach access made things a little simpler with three little ones. We loved having you and hope to welcome your family back for another beach getaway soon!
The pictures (especially of the beach and water) don't do this place justice! This condo is very roomy and extremely well-appointed. Comfortable seating, luxury beds, an excellent kitchen- it's all here! We wish we could have stayed longer! Crystal-clear water and super-soft sand. Two chairs and an umbrella ready for us each day, and so many places close by to eat and/or shop. The owners and cleaners were so responsive and great to work with. Thank you!
Beautiful! Great communication from the host! Place was very clean!

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you enjoyed our condo and appreciated the communication. Keeping our home clean and welcoming for our guests is very important to us. We hope to have you back again!
Crystal Beach B-14 was the perfect getaway for our family of 7. The condo was clean, spacious, and had a beautiful view of the Gulf of America. We will definitely be on the lookout for other open dates in the future.

Thank you for choosing B-14 for your family getaway! We’re so glad you enjoyed our spacious condo, beautiful Gulf views, and your time at the beach. Please do bring your family back again!
Very clean and spacious. Amazing views all day of the beach. Relaxing and comforting place to spend vacation.

We're so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, relaxing atmosphere, and beautiful Gulf views. That is exactly what we strive to provide for every guest. Thank you for choosing our condo—we hope to welcome you back!
This is our family's vote for the absolute best place we have stayed in Destin. It was very refreshing to be able to be in touch with the owner directly. This place is LOVELY... we all wished we could have stayed longer. The kitchen was gorgeous and so well stocked (cooking utensils, glassware, etc.); we actually felt like we were in someone's home, and not a rental. Sitting on the balcony at night right at the beachfront was a dream. We can't wait to go back! It is even better than the photos.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It truly means a lot to us to hear that you felt at home in our condo and enjoyed all the little details we work hard to provide. We especially love knowing you enjoyed those evenings on the balcony overlooking the Gulf. We look forward to welcoming your family back!
We are delighted that your first visit to Destin didn't disappoint! Thank you for trusting our condo for your family's beach getaway, and for your 10/10 review.
This property is amazing! The description is completely accurate---the home is very clean and bright and inviting. The beds are very comfortable. The decor is perfect for the beach. The view is spectacular. If we return to Destin, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you for having us in your beautiful home.

Wow! Thank you for the wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that the condo lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed everything from the comfortable beds to the beautiful view. We hope you find another reason to visit Destin soon—we would love the opportunity to host you again!
This is our second girls weekend here and it’s been perfect every time! Clean room, more private/ not as crowded on the beach in this area. Absolutely tucked away place! We love it!

Thank you - returning guests are our best compliment! We were glad the "Mama/Friends" needed some additional beach therapy. Come back any time, or maybe bring the whole family for the next visit!
Great communication. So clean and beautiful! Great location and private.

Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness and decor of our condo, and that the location worked well for you. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great location. Very clean and beautiful. Needs vacuum available for dark area rug. Host was very nice and responsive. Feel like third room was somewhat misrepresented in picture. Angled ceiling with no windows. My grands called it the hobbit room. Also, chairs on beach were great.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 June 2026
Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, cleanliness, beach chairs, and our responsiveness.
Regarding the third bedroom, we do our best to represent the space in our listing and photos accurately. The captions note that the ceiling is slanted due to the roofline, and we recommend that room for children or teens. We had to smile at your grands calling it the “Hobbit room!” Others have called it a “man cave!” (Also, the condo is an interior unit, so the double sliding glass doors facing the gorgeous Gulf are the only windows.)
We also appreciate the suggestion to have a vacuum available and will consider it.
This place was everything. Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. The view was incredible. Absolutely loved it and would recommend

Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed our well-equipped kitchen and the stunning view of the Gulf from the balcony. Crystal Beach doesn't disappoint! We’d love to host your family again!
Our stay at the condo was very relaxing. We loved having the beach view and enjoyed hearing the sound of the ocean when we had the balcony open. The view was completely unobstructed, which made it even more enjoyable. The property was also very clean and well maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely recommend it.

Comfortable home with a great location. We were happy with our stay. View of the beach from our balcony. Love the master bedroom & bathroom, large kitchen island & enjoyed playing cards with our friends at the comfortable table & chairs in dining area.

Thank you for the 10/10 review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beach view, the master suite, and spending time around the kitchen island and dining table with friends.
This beautiful unit has the most amazing views. What a treat to be right on the water! The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need. It’s part of a large living/dining area which suited our family of 5. The master bedroom with king bed is spacious and beautifully decorated. Same with the bathroom that is attached to this room but is also conveniently accessible from the hallway. The loft area has a large king bed which was ideal for our over 6ft tall son and the kids room off this - through the second bathroom - was a fun hangout for our two youngest kids. It’s worth noting that this room off the loft area (which features two single trundle beds that could sleep 4), would not be suitable for adults given the sloping roof. Our kids had a ball though as they had their own area all to themselves. The free beach chairs and umbrella were lovely to enjoy the beach and watch the kids swim. I even managed to read my book which felt luxurious!!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the views, the spacious layout, and all the little touches that make our condo feel like a home away from home. It sounds like everyone had a perfect setup—from the master suite to the loft and kids’ area—and that the beach amenities made your days extra relaxing. We’re so glad you even had a chance to enjoy some quiet reading time! It was a pleasure hosting your family.
The place had everything we needed, great view, great access to the beach, and was nice to have the beach chairs being set up for us every day was very nice.

While the beach and Gulf are gorgeous, the 2 beach chairs and umbrella waiting for you definitely increase the enjoyment factor! We are glad you appreciated the convenience of the beach service. Thank you for the 5-star review.
We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for sharing your "excellent" feedback—it means a lot to us. We hope to have you back for another relaxing getaway soon!
Great location for everything. Beds were comfy and we had a great vacation. Saw dolphins and a shark and a cool storm!

About the host
Hosted by Suzanne Hardison
We are Barry and Suzanne Hardison, and we are thrilled to have an oceanfront vacation condo in Destin! For 5 years, we owned and rented a 1-bedroom condo through VRBO across the street from the beach. We feel blessed to have this larger, beach-side home, which accommodates more family and allows us to consider our young adult children's desire to bring friends to the beach.
Our family looks forward to any time in Destin. The sound of the waves and the beautiful white sand are so enticing. In fact, when younger, our children braved the winter waters of the Gulf! There's never a bad day at the beach!
Why they chose this property
Crystal Villas is in the perfect location. In our opinion, it is on the "quiet end" of Scenic Highway 98. This smaller, three story complex is in a prime location to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. You can be as busy or relaxed as you want in the convenient condo.
What makes this property unique
The sense of calm and relaxation our family experiences at the beach is priceless. Our young adult children love to swim in the ocean and pool, and we always enjoy our morning runs as a family on the walking/bike path. Window shopping and eating fresh seafood top our list of "must-do" excursions away from the beach. It is always a blessing to be here.
