Grand Caribbean West features a terrific heated pool, hot tub, BBQ grilling area, outdoor showers and picnic space. The complex has a friendly, helpful staff. Private, deeded beach access is directly across the street - less than a minute's walk from the building. 

Area Attractions:  

The complex is also just a few minutes' drive from all Destin has to offer, including go-kart rentals, dolphin cruises, charter fishing, parasailing, Big Kahuna's Water Park, The Track Family Fun Center, and the Silver Sands Outlet Mall.

Several outstanding restaurants are within walking distance, including one of the most highly regarded in Destin, 'The 790 Cafe' located at The Inn at Crystal Beach and 'Beachwalk Cafe', rated one of Destin's best by Florida Trend Magazine. Grand Caribbean West is also within walking distance of Destin's famous Crab Trap restaurant.

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Great Experience

Overall the experience was great! Location was great! Would have liked to have access to beach chairs, umbrella, floaties without having to pay per day or buy own just to leave for someone else since could not take with us. That would hav made the stay perfect.

Great location, good for price

Cute place, super close to the beach, and perfect size for our small family. Loved the tropical colors and beachy feel. The community pool was pretty green, but other than that everything was great. We’d stay again!

Comfortable

Unit was clean and comfortable. Easy access to the beach just across the street. Not a true ocean view; only a glimpse between ocean front buildings, but enjoyed the balcony. Within walking distance to a few restaurants. No elevator so pack light since there are 2 flights of stairs.

Had a great vacation!

My family loved the Crystal Beach condo! It was great to wake up every morning and walk to the beach! The only issue we had was the pull out bed was broken and very uncomfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed every minute of our vacation!

Best vacation in years!

This was probably the best vacation I've taken in years! It's located just outside of downtown Destin. The room was very clean and that's always a plus. Only reason I can't give it a 5 star rating was the bed had messed up my back during my stay. That's my only complaint. Everything else was just amazing. I can't wait to stay here again!

Perfect in every sense!

We loved the condo, and the location was great. RealJoy was seamless with the experience - good proactive communications along the way and the door code arrived as expected. Some reviews commented about the palm trees obstructing the view, but the branches were cut way back when we were there, so they weren’t even really noticeable. Great view!!

Great place to stay with family. Ocean view is awesome. Grandkids want to live there.

It was great for our family. Elevator would have been nice. But can't complain. When we needed things shopping wasn't far away. The walk to the beach was great. And having a washer and dryer there was fantastic. We shut the air off and enjoyed the weather while we were there. Sat on the balcony and relaxed. Spent time in the heated pool was awesome.

The condo was great but could use an elevator. The wTer was green, full of algae and smelled bad. It ruined the beach for us. The lifeguard said it was called June grass.
