Great location, unit needs updating.
We have stayed in several units in Crystal Sands and this one was decent for the money but I think the owners could update just a few things to make it so much nicer. The tv needs to be upgraded to a smart tv so renters can watch Netflix and such. I think it's expected these days that smart tv's will be available. It should have been stated in the listing that this was not available. I would suggest replacing the towels as well. They are very old. The upstairs bedroom had no place to hang clothes, no closet or rack or anything. The couch was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. I would suggest having extra blankets somewhere in the unit as well.

Great Stay & Nice Location on Beach!!
The condo was great! We loved the view and the furnishings in this condo. We have stayed at Crystal Sands many times and this one was the best. Residing on the top floor, you will not experience any overhead foot traffic. We will return.

Good for the price
We had a nice stay however the condo was lacking some basic things like no dish towels, no blankets on the bed- just very thin sheet like material. Other than that I thought it was very nice.

Beautiful view but filthy accommodations.
Access to the beach is great. That’s the only positive. Gorgeous view, but the patio windows were dirty inside and out. October 2022 and the condition is the same as previous reviews reported: stained and filthy sofa and carpeting, overwhelming mold odor, broken lint trap, rusted shower rod, the hair dryer was ripped off the wall, broken (and sharp!!) floor tiles. General cleanliness was not sufficient either: There was food splatter on the wall near the kitchen trash bin, tons of dust around the door jambs and floorboards, and wall and door staining from handprints throughout the unit.

Very disappointed
We stayed in 304A for our wedding and although the condo is a good size, it is very rundown and dingy. There was lots a dust everywhere. The carpets were filthy and so were the couches in the living room. We had friends staying in other rooms which were much nicer and updated.

The view was incredible. The condo on the other hand was some what nice. The couches were stained and ran down the upstairs bed was run down felt like you was sleeping on rocks. Only 2 light plugs worked up stairs. The cleaners were so rude and didn’t care to help in the slightest. We love Destin but crystal sands needs to update or lower the prices.

Not what I expected
I have stayed on this property many times in the last 20 years. This time, the codes did not work at 4, the stove did not work at all, and the third bedroom was locked (due to city ordinance, but I was not notified). None of this is ok, and I am very reasonable. I don't usually go on to these sights and give a negative rating but when I book early and prepay, then arrive to find my 3 bedroom is a 2 bedroom, and the stove doesn't work, that is a problem for anyone.

Not a great stay.
This was our fifth stay at Crystal Sands and, sadly, our least favorite. The top floor units previously had an upstairs bedroom, but due to a fire hazard (no windows), that room is no longer accessible. We did not notice this when making the reservation, forcing our family of six to share the cramped quarters for the week. That was our fault as I assumed the unit was the same as before and it was listed with two beds and a fold-out couch, so not taking away any points for that. That being said, this unit needs some attention. The washer and dryer were out of order (they were waiting on parts), causing a mid-week trip to the local laundromat. The kitchen smelled badly of mildew around the sink. The kitchen had the basics, but no skillets or baking sheets. The dishwasher door is hard to close since it sits crooked in the cabinets. Several floor tiles were cracked. The refrigerator froze most of our food. The couch and loveseat are badly worn out and it shows. The fold-out couch is horrible and we bought an inflatable mattress to sleep on instead. It just wasn't a good stay and not really relaxing at all. We were told other units have been remodeled and would look for those instead. The view from the balcony and beach chairs are fantastic. The pool was heated (late Oct. stay) and was fun for the kids. Great location and has excellent potential, but would not recommend this specific unit to anyone.

Love the Location...
We have stayed at this particular set of condos several times. We love it there. This particular unit needs a lot of work though. Upgrades need to be done to the TV's and furniture. It appears that the unit has been owned by the same person for a long time and still has the same furniture that has been in the unit for years. TVs are small. (master bedroom TV is about the size of a computer monitor and never worked during our stay.) Chances are that if there is a rodent issue in one unit, they are likely in all of them in the building, which is unfortunate. All in all, we would stay again on the property, just pick a different unit and management company.

Great Place but updates needed
Everything was great the location, property, roads, etc. The only complaint I have was the furniture in the condo (looks nice but is badly worn out), mainly the downstairs bed and couches.

Moldy smell in unit
The unit smelled very moldy like a damp basement. When we first opened the kitchen cabinets the smell was very distinct. We rewashed the limited dishes used and kept them on the counter. The carpet in the bedroom and loft also smelled like a locker room. We were very disappointed in the condition of the unit. In addition the complex has a no smoking policy that is not enforced. The smoke made sitting on the balcony a very short stay as the smell was very offensive. We notified the office but that did not change the smoking frequency. We love Destin and the gulf front views, but we did not enjoy this stay.

Perfect little getaway
My boyfriend and I had a great time here. I would note that the upstairs bedroom is a loft, and the small bedroom that hosts two twin sized beds is more of a closet than a bedroom. I'd say this place is perfect for a small family or a couple's get away! Definitely had a great time, and loved watching the sun set over the ocean every night!

Photos are better than reality
I chose this unit because the management company said in an earlier post that they had taken care of the items mentioned in that post. However that appeared to not be true. The shower curtain rod is still rusted. The toilet paper holder upstairs is still loose. The carpet is worn and appears dirty - though that may be the color . The pad no longer serves any function. The sofas are gummy and cushions are broken down. There are several broken ceramic tiles in the floor and one loose one. The fanhood was in the bedroom closet and not installed. One burner on the stove wouldn't turn on. This unit needs a lot of maintenance and updating. All that being said it has a beautiful view and location on the beach - I might stay in another unit but not this one unless some major renovations occured.
