AMAZING CONDO ON THE BEACH !
This condo is perfect for a beach getaway. The location is fabulous right in the middle of Destin, but secluded enough away for privacy. the back sliding glass door opens directly up to the Sandee beaches of Destin, and they fabulous condo was clean and fully stocked for anything I needed in the kitchen. we will return!!! Highly recommend !

The perfect spot on the beach
We are returning renters for this property . Our past experience was so amazing we had to rebook and go again ! It’s the perfect spot right on the condo boardwalk . Literally open your back door and walk out to your chair on the beach and enjoy !!! Very easy check in upon arrive and secure with keypad entry for condo as well as the outdoor heated pool ! Since our last visit the condo has updated their appliances and has new dishes !! Which are amazing !! There were no problems with the old ones , but it’s so nice to see updates when you walk in ! It’s the “ little touches “ that are the best. The bed is so comfy and the bunk beds for our children were perfect !! Its location couldn’t be any better , you are close to the grocery stores, shopping and amazing food , and far enough away to be secluded and private . We absolutely love this place and will be going back soon!! Highly highly recommend !

Not cleaned well and in need of attention from a repair person.
When we arrived, the couch was still covered with sand, as well as the floor throughout the unit. We were going to clean it ourselves with the unit's included vacuum cleaner, but that was broken (missing one prong on the plug). They did send someone to clean the couch later and it was cleaned acceptably. The ceiling fan's pull string was broken, meaning we couldn't use it for the duration of our stay. They did send someone to try to fix it but they were unable to put a new pull-string on it or get it turned on for us. The kitchen had no forks, only spoons and knives, and the Kuerig coffee maker made coffee that tasted rotten, making me question if they are ever cleaned. Ours at home with the same pods tasted normal so its the only reason I can think of this would be the case. I guess while I'm mentioning broken things, the wall clock had a hand that was broken off, which I really dont care about, but is indicative of amount of care put into maintaining the place. I wouldn't recommend this unit.

OK, but ...
The kitchen needs to be restocked. There was no frying pan and 4 plates. More silverware would be nice also. The patio needs more comfortable chairs also. The table and chairs were extremely uncomfortable and the folding beach chairs were ready to fall apart. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The 1st floor in this complex is the way to go!!

Location
First the bad. This is a first floor condo. I’m not sure that its like this in every case or we just got lucky. The noise coming from the condo above was borderline unbearable. I contacted Vacasa and in turn they contacted the property manager who advised that I just call the cops. We have kid and can understand to a certain degree but this was on another level. It sounded as if a marching band was holding practice from sun up to 11:30 at night. I wish Vacasa or property management would have stepped in and gave the above tenants a warning (much like a hotel does if they get noise complaints). This whole ordeal really made it difficult to enjoy our stay and we actually ended up leaving a day early. You can tell that its an investment vacation rental property because the little things are overlooked like lightbulbs burnt out or missing. TV was old and didn't work real well. Internet was pretty slow. Toilet seats were very loose and about to fall off (little things like that). Now the good. The condo was spotless when we arrived. Very clean. Kitchen has everything we would want or need for anything. Air Conditioning was top notch. Water pressure was amazing and never seemed to run out of hot water. The views from the condo where amazing and the private patio off the boardwalk with beach access were exceptional. This condos view and easy access to a private beach are the hero elements. The property cleans the boardwalk and beach shower area daily. The beach service has chairs and umbrellas set up and ready to go in the early a.m. Im giving this stay a 4/5 because I wish we would have had some more help with dealing with the renters above, who put a pretty big damper on our stay. If not for that we would definitely be giving a 5/5 and we would still stay here again with our fingers crossed that we would have better neighbors on the next trip. P.S. parking was awesome. Plenty of spaces all close to the building.

Beautiful Location-housecleaning issues
We have stayed at Crystal Sands for years. You cannot beat the location. We have never had an issue before but this time was different. While vacasa did get back to us after 24 hours, they gave us the wrong wifi network and password which sounds petty but we couldn’t use our phones unless we left the room. There was also a mildew smell coming from the bathroom and we finally figured out it was the comforter and blankets And I didn’t want to spend the time all day rewashing all the linens in the small washer and dryer. We let them know about the mildew the first day and they never responded. These things are easily avoidable especially when you pay for it to be done. We will visit Crystal Sands again but not this rental.

Excellent Customer Service
Check-in was a simple as it could be. I received an email the morning we were scheduled to check-in. It had our door aces code, beach gate access code, and physical address for navigation. We entered our code on the door upon arrival and got right in. The room was exceptionally clean. We couldn’t find the wifi password, so I called the office. It gave me a number to text for faster service, so I texted that number and got a response within a couple minutes with polite and professional service providing our wifi password. Then later, I realized our wifi password was already provided with the other info included with our check-in info. They reached out to us a few days into our stay to ensure the room was satisfactory, which it definitely was. We will always use Vacasa for our future vacations.

Amazing View !!
My wife and I had a wonderful vacation. We absolutely loved the Amazing View !! The location was good, close to restaurants, shopping, etc... only thing that would've made it even better is if we didn't have to leave. Only complaint was there were a couple stains on the bed sheets but we didn't even notice until we were packing to leave because we slept in the living room on the sectional so we could hear the ocean every night. We loved our trip and will be staying at Crystal Sands again.

1.5 bath not two
This is a very clean first floor with a gorgeous view place to stay! There are not two full baths, it is more of a jack and jill style set up with only one bath and two toilets & sinks. The ice maker leaks, blinds in living missing some slats, curtains needed in bedroom…but the view is The BEST!!!

A few changes needed, but great location!
We came in on Sunday and checked out Saturday. We loved being able to walk out onto the beach from our room and that there was beach service. The beach is beautiful and we would definitely stay here again! The only issues to note are that the ice maker was leaking the whole week, and although it still worked, the we had to clean up small amounts of water. There wasn’t a frying pan or salt and pepper, so we had to go out to get those. Those are normally things that we find in places we stay, especially if we are staying for a week. We should have been provided more paper towels as well, since one roll barely lasted us the whole week. The sink also was cleaned out before our stay as well, we ended up using the plunger to unclog it due to grease, I guess from a previous guest. Otherwise, our stay was great!

No extras
This unit is clean and comfortable, however there are NO little extras. Minimal number of towels/linens, no blow-dryer (even the Comfort Inn supplies one), the toilet in the bathroom near the bedroom was loose on the floor. Needs a little extra attention to little extras for guests. Otherwise, nice.

Good vacation
Love being able to walk out door to the beach. Even though it rained most of our stay, we were able to sit on the patio and enjoy the the surf. Only a couple of improvements need to be made to this unit: Master bed squeaks loudly with any movement, ,master toilet is loose and needs to be resealed. the only other thing we don't like about Crystal Sands is that the ceiling allows every footstep above to be heard. Our neighbors above were walking back and moving furniture from dinner time until 10PM every night.

Great location
The location was perfect for the beach. And easy parking made it great.. The unit was not so great. Dont believe the Professional cleaning part. Tub would not drain and was full of hair and the shower curtain had red mildew on it from water sitting. A doobie was stuck to the floor under the ottoman and two clothing tags were under the t.v. The floors were so filthy that we wore flip flops and socks the whole time. I couldnt find a broom or mop, so I bought a broom at the store. The dryer vent hadn't been cleaned in months. This could create a fire. Might want to check them all. I couldnt get the dishwasher open, and the one large bed made such a racket when you turned over that we slept on the couch for our stay. Wont stay at this unit. I'll find a different one next time.
