About this property
Beach Cottage with Private Pool! Dog Friendly
Caribbean Breeze is Professionally Managed by Newman Dailey.
Whether its music, art or fashion- classics never go out of style. So it goes with this sunny Destin vacation rental in Crystal Beach. The breezy front porch, close proximity to the beach and cheery island decor give it all the essentials needed to make it a solid “go-to” when you can’t decide where to stay.
The broken-up floor plan of Caribbean Breeze can comfortably accommodate eight while giving each of them privacy. Plus, the southern bedrooms open up to the spacious front porch while the northern rooms overlook another classic feature of any good vacation rental- a private pool deck. The pool deck, draped in swaying palm trees and with plenty of lounge chairs, also features a grilling area because what is a Destin vacation without a poolside barbecue!
Caribbean Breeze also checks all the boxes when it comes to vacation home comforts- a full laundry room, stocked kitchen, TVs in each room, parking for three cars and cool tile floors top the list. Plus, it’s so nice to be able to walk to the beach and not have to worry about parking. Or for that matter you can also walk to the many restaurants, shops and beach stores right in the Crystal Beach neighborhood.

Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear the location, pool, and cleanliness met your expectations. We hope you had a wonderful stay and look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Loved the location, fantastic front porch. Enjoyed sitting there so did the dogs. The kitchen is small but very workable. Most important, wonderful memories with our grandchildren. Priceless and for that I say thank you.

The location, the front porch, and the workable kitchen all seem to have contributed to making your time there truly special. I'm grateful for your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to leave this thoughtful review. It's a pleasure to know that we were able to play a part in your cherished moments with your grandchildren.
Cute beach house very close to the beach, needs a little updating but other than that it was wonderful and the management company was very responsive and easy to get in touch with and help with all our questions
The property was great.
A few maintenance mishaps. Refrigerator dis not function properly. Did not keep our food cool and had to toss out a lot of food. The management company had it checked out twice and then gave us a loaner refrigerator and reimbursed us for some of our food loss.
They were quick to respond during this holiday week.

Would not stay again
Good things first - nice big front porch and location close to lots of shopping and restaurants, very handy. Nice separation of bedrooms. Crystal Beach was nice since you can walk a long way out in the ocean to knee deep. House needs all furniture updated, the beds and couches were horribly uncomfortable and the entire decor is outdated. Only very basic kitchen items provided and in not great shape. Kitchen is hard to use for more than one person. We were told pool heating was an option closer to our arrival (and we needed it due to weather) but then we’re told it was not available. So did not even use pool and it’s tiny anyway so that was a big disappointment. No hand rails on stairs to house and dangerous for older people, also dangerous tubs which have a giant tall tub to step over and no handrails. Have stayed in lots of vacation rentals and this is one of the worst. Owners need to redo and update and put some money into this to improve, including firmer beds and furniture, those pillow-basedcouches get lumpy and terrible too quickly. Our bodies hurt every day from sitting and or sleeping on bad furniture and mattresses.

Thank you for taking time to leave your review. We’re glad that you found the location convenient and you enjoyed the layout of Caribbean Breeze. We were disappointed that the furnishings and decor did not meet your expectations. While we realize that you cannot judge the comfort of furniture and beds from photos, we do try to provide many photos of the inside and outside of each rental so there are no surprises upon arrival. The pool at Caribbean Breeze does not have the ability to be heated and we apologize if you were led to believe otherwise. After reading your review , we will make sure the description clearly states it cannot be heated to help other guests with their booking decisions. Again, we appreciate your comments, we are sorry that you were not 100 percent pleased with your rental and we hope you will give us another opportunity to host you again in the future.
House was very clean and cute. AC worked well in August. Pool and backyard were a good little break from the beach. Neighborhood was quaint and very family friendly. Because kitchen is small, it’s easier to eat out than to cook large dinners there. I really had a wonderful stay. Check-in was a breeze as well.
House is within walking distance to beach. Didn’t use the pool but home does have a private pool, which we could see as very beneficial in the summer months.
This was a great house for our stay. We love the location as it is super close to the beach, you can go one way and use the Crystal Beach access or go the other way and use the Hutchison access. We were a little disappointed there wasn't any beach chairs or wagon available for use. This is the first house we've rented that didn't have those available.
This is a great little house in a great neighborhood. Short walk to the beach. It could use a little maintenance as some aspects are showing their age (broken chair poolside, towel rack missing, porch ceiling fan rusted out, lamp not working) and some of the decorating was a bit silly and random, but overall this place is exactly what we were looking for. It was clean and had lots of different places to hang out for its size. Front porch was great for evenings after days on the beach.
The location is perfect, only blocks from the beach. The property was rundown, and the kitchen not very well-equipped. We did have to go buy some fry pans to cook with..
Very clean and more than expected. Enjoyed the beautiful beaches and also the pool in the evenings. Highly recommend.

Caribbean Breeze has it all! We enjoyed the pool, the quick walk to the beach, the cheery and comfortable interior but mostly the front porch with old glory waving in the breeze. Nice neighbor Scott was an unexpected bonus! Easy check in and great service from Newman-Dailey.
This cottage was perfectly located and was adorable! The listing didnt do it justice as it was clean and spacious. The pool was a great addition and made staying in so fun. Everything was perfect with the exception of no frying pan and no propane in the grill.
