About this property

Just a few steps and your toes will be in the sand! ~ Beach Service Included!

Just a few steps and your toes will be in the sand.

The perfect location in Destin. Crystal Villas is located in the quiet section of Destin and is one of the limited properties directly on the beach. In order to get there, you do not have to travel down Highway 98, which is under construction and traffic is a nightmare.

* Crystal Villas has a PRIVATE BEACH! Therefore, you do not have the frustrating parking issue that people face when they choose a property off the beach or with a "beach view."

This condo comes with top of the line furnishings, linens, decorations, and all of the other "extras." The condo includes a variety of beach toys, unique games, current books, DVD's, and a "Smart TV." When it comes time to turn in, the King Size Marriott Bed an award-winning bedding, guarantees you a good night's sleep. There are built in bunk beds for additional sleeping, which are actually very comfortable.

This condo is located on the second floor, which means you have the glorious views that the first floor does not offer and you only have one flight of stairs to carry luggage up, whereas the walk to the condos on the 3rd floor can be a long haul.

Not only is the beach right on your doorstep, a myriad of eating, shopping and entertainment options are within easy walking or driving distance. If you want to mix in some activities with your relaxation there are plenty of options, including Dolphin Cruises, Deep Sea Fishing trips and a variety of water sports. You can take a stroll down Scenic Highway 98 or head east by car along the coast to the quaint beachside communities of Seagrove, Seaside and Rosemary Beach. At night, you can walk and enjoy drinks on the terrace of 790 On The Gulf or check out one of the many local beachside restaurants. Crystal Villas is located within 1000 feet of Henderson Beach State Park and is also within walking distance of Destin Commons where there is a state of the art movie theater, bowling alley, and upscale shopping. It is a short drive to Golf Courses, Water Parks and one of the largest outlet malls in Florida. The perfect location is what sets this condo apart from many others in the Destin area.

*Free Beach Service March 1 - October 31 (2 Chairs & 1 Umbrella)* & Kayak available for use with this unit at no charge (see beach attendant)

*7 night minimum (Saturday - Saturday) Memorial Day - Labor Day / Spring Break & Fall Break*

Beautiful view right on the beach. Sofa is not what is pictured. Off white dirty couch with stains on it. Needs replaced. King size bed was amazing. Like sleeping on a cloud. Overall nice place. Location a little too crowded for our liking.

Bad management company

The location is great, the management company is not. The sofa in the advertising has been replaced with an old nasty sofa with major stains on it that we wouldn't sit on. The one shower in the unit has an extremely slow drain so you were standing in a lot of water for showers. The instructions for the cable tv service in the living room did not work. Checked in Tuesday Aug 27 early about 2pm. Texted mgmt at 8:11 pm asking for living room tv instructions because we couldn't find any. Mgmt. replied Wed 9:28am stating there wasn't any specific instructions. I sent a picture of the sofa to mgmt. stating we weren't very impressed with the unit 6a. "The sofa is not as advertised on your website. It is very old with very nasty stains that we won't sit on. See pictures. We still can not get the living room tv working for the Cox cable with the incorrect instructions we finally found in a binder. See picture. And the worst thing about this unit is the folks staying in the unit directly above us. They are constantly running up and down the unit and toddlers moving around constantly. The noise from upstairs is constant and load when we are in it." Wed 2:21pm they replied, "I have reported the shower and tv to maintenance." Thurs 2:38pm I replied, "Any idea when they will be able to come? Texted again on Fri 5:31pm, "Texted you yesterday, you haven't responded. Still haven't seen or heard from maintenance. Ran out of space here on characters. Maint. came Sat noon.

Anniversary trip March 2024

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Condo was exactly as described, the view was amazing. The Condo is in a quiet area, so was less crowded which is exactly what we were looking for, for an anniversary trip! Would definitely recommend this condo and will be back. The only thing we would change is we would like the 3rd floor, as the noise from above was loud from time to time. Overall, wonderful trip and very much needed!

Non-smoking facility???

It was a wonderful stay, however, for a non-smoking facility the guest below us smoked every time they were on their patio. For non-smokers it made for an unenjoyable experience as we tried to enjoy the balcony and the view.

beautiful spot right on the beach.

great location, easy access central location store etc, beautiful "private beach" with great service, chairs umbrellas and special mention to the beach guy Zach (he even had free fresh coconut drinks). unit clean and comfortable with a fabulous balcony and view. great to see the blackhawks flyover daily with people on the beach waving and clapping. the daily dolphin sightings were good too.
