Villages of Crystal Beach is an exclusive, gated community only a few blocks from the beautiful blue waters and white sandy beaches of Destin. You can make the walk on foot or hop on the free seasonal trolley service (Memorial Day through Labor Day) they will even pick you up at the house and drop you off right at the beach! The pool area at Villages of Crystal Beach is a vacation must! The lagoon style zero entry pool is 30,000 square feet of gorgeous, sparkling clear water. There is a spa, tropical landscaping, and plenty of seating areas. It also has surround sound, a flat screen TV, and a grilling area to help you relax and unwind.

Please note that there are parking restrictions within the Villages of Crystal Beach.  There are two parking spaces available in the driveway of the home. Trailers, RV's, boats, golf carts, and motorcycles are not allowed within the community gates; alternate parking arrangements will need to be made for these items. 

Area Attractions: 

There are wonderful shops and restaurants close by and great attractions such as golf courses, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, boating, fishing, and water-sports!

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!

Beautiful Home!! Very spacious for our family of 9! The property management was very quick with their responses. The location was wonderful. Just a few blocks from the beach. The check in was super easy. Our first time in Destin. It was a wonderful stay.

The home was amazing, clean. It had everything we needed and within walking distance to the beach. When we first arrived the A/C wasn’t worked and they came right over and fixed it. Would highly recommend staying here. We will return. 😊

Weekend Get-A-Way
Great weekend with family and friends celebrating my son before his wedding in October. Had a large group and the house set up perfect with plenty of beds and bathrooms. Great pool area and short walk to beautiful beach. Just outside the community gates you have everything you need from groceries to several restaurants.

Absolutely beautiful!
This was a wonderful place to stay for our family of 6. The decor was exquisite and the pictures online showed exactly what it looked like inside but only it was nicer than the pictures could show! We felt right at home here and they had all the extra amenities we needed. Would definitely recommend this to families!

Family Vacation
The property is as shown on the website. There were 12 family members and they were all very pleased with the property. I I would definitely recommend that you stay here. The only negative is parking (2 cars per home isn't enough when the property sleeps 12).

Family Trip
Our 3 night stay was great aside from some linen issues we had upon checking in, however the maintenance guy Jake was very responsive and solved this without hesitation. This location is close enough to everything if you want to do a little shopping. The complimentary shuttle to the beach is also a plus. We would definitely stay again!

Unit 243 Destin'd to be here
The house was BEAUTIFUL and very clean, but the community was very disappointing. It appears to me that they have no control in the community. No control of the parking, the pool area and how many people are in a house. A few doors down from us was a VERY large group that got into a fight with another large group in the community. I did not feel safe allowing my children to wander outside of the house. The pool was closed most of our last night. We paid a lot of money for this home for the week and after leaving feel very disappointed. I didn't like that the gate was always open. We won't be returning

Nice beachy spot
This place was exactly as the images pictured. It was a beautiful stay and pretty well located. My only recommendation is to possibly get some new sheets in the master as they’re pretty stained and we didn’t feel comfortable using them. Otherwise, the place was absolutely wonderful

I took away one star because the second master bedroom had a queen bed, instead of a king as listed and we were wanting two king beds. Other than that the property was lovely and spacious enough for us.

Awesome Location
The location was within walking range of the beach, and great neighborhood pool. The boys loved the bunk bed room. Wifi was very weak and at times unusable. The dryer also needs replaced as it squeals very loudly, and as my daughter says “sounds like a fire truck is upstairs.” The king mattress in the master bedroom has seen better days. Overall we had a great time.
