beautiful

We absolutely loved this place, it is so big and roomy enough room for all 9 of us and plus some. Love the view of the gorgeous beach and the pool area was great especially when the beach water was so cool. The only complaint is the umbrella/chair guy he could use some manners. BUT This is definitely a must stay!!

Loved it

Beach was great. Water is so pretty and clear there. condo was perfect for the 5 of us. 3-yr old had the bunk room, son and daughter in law had the bedroom close to toddler and grandma and grandpa had the main bedroom with views of the beach. The beach 3 baths were very convenient when we all wanted to shower at the same time when coming back from the beach. We will stay there again

Great Getaway!!!

This was an excellent property! The condo complex was only 6 stories high so it eliminated tons of people vying for an elevator. The view was phenomenol...dolphin pods swam by every morning. The kitchen counter had a fantastic space for all of us to sit and enjoy lunch back up from the beach. Plenty of space for all 5 adults and 3 bathrooms..marvelous. Walking distance from some cool restaurants. I highly recommend this place...I'll be back for sure next year!

Vacation Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was nice. The layout of the condo is a little strange with the refrigerator and the island. The bedrooms were spacious and it accommodated us well. The amenities were not great. I didn't like how the pool and bbq pits were situated but I do like the location of the condo and being able to walk to certain things. I don't think I would stay at this particular condo again but if I knew someone that needed to accommodate a large group, I would recommend it.

Nice condo, great location

I would stay here again. Personally we would have liked more comfortable seating in living, it was bad weather 3 of our days so we had to stay inside. A lounger that lay out flat would have been great on the patio. The wind was too rough to sit on beach. But it had lots of room and 3 baths helped alot.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has the most beautiful view, of sunrise and sunset. The home is clean, uncluttered, and tastefully decorated. Because I am a daily walker, I loved the blacktop path located right across the street. We appreciated that so many restaurants were minutes away. We had a problem figuring out how to use satellite TV on the livingroom TV but that's only because we're Roku users and it is a very different set up. This was our first trip to Destin, and a very positive experience.

Great location on the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 3 bedroom and 3 bath condominium was great for our family trip that included kids, parents, and a grandparent. The property gave us easy access to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, and fun activities. A major plus is the private area on the beach just for the patrons of Crystal Dunes. Also, we really liked the well stocked kitchen, having 2 elevators, and the team of workers that cleaned the property every morning. The only negative was that signs around Crystal Dunes say it is a smoke free property but there seemed to a bit of a very faint smoke smell inside this unit. Not a deal breaker since half of the family could not smell it but definitely glad to have the allergy meds for the other half. We enjoyed our trip to Destin and will definitely return!!

TV's in the rooms worked, also internet issues but wasn't a big deal as we were not in the room much. Location is awesome, so easy getting to the beach and pool and everything local in Destin. Without a doubt would recommend this place and will be back.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the room was just ok. The apartment had a mildew order when we arrived, I'm glad I bought air freshener. In addition it was freezing in the apartment. I was hoping for more updated appliances i.e. keurig machine. The one thing that was the worse was the bathroom for the bunk beds it was extremely dangerous, the shower was not usable because the doors were not stable at all. I'm so glad we didn't have children with us because I would definitely have not let them use that tub/shower. I almost fell because of the doors and there should be some type of grippers in the tub. We did love the location as it was close to a lot of good restaurants and close to the beach. There were 3 couples and we all paid an equal amount for the stay I think it would have been fair to have a beach setup for each couple that's my recommendation also being that the pool area doesn't get much sun the pool needs to be heated because it was freezing. For wifi it needs to be written somewhere in the condo because what we were shown was totally different than what we eventually found out after calling customer service. If I had a choice I would not return to this location nor would I recommend it to anyone.
