About this property

Salty Seas Gulf Front Oasis

FREE BEACH CHAIR SERVICE DURING SEASON (Mar - Oct) & BEACH TOWELS PROVIDED

Is the beach life screaming your name? Are you looking to slow life down a bit from your hectic real world schedule? Well, look no further as our newly renovated one bedroom beachfront condo, or our home away from home as we call it, has it all! Crystal Sands is ideally located just steps from the white sands and warm waters of Crystal Beach and minutes (1mi) from the famous Destin Commons and a few of the infamous beachfront food destinations Destin offers like The Crab Trap, Surf Hut, Camille's and Pompano Joe's. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach from inside the condo close to the ocean style!

Our passion is your experience and we'll do everything we can to make sure you'll remember your trip for a lifetime here at Salty Snow Properties.

Crystal Sands is a low rise (3 story) condo building with a private beach so you can avoid the crowds. It's also perched nicely above the crystal blue waters for amazing views of the beach and waters. Nothing better than watching the sun set from the patio as the dolphins swim by in our opinion! Except maybe a cold beverage to go along with it!

With a first class design, luxury amenities, and an unbeatable convenient location you'll find it all here as Crystal Sands! You can enjoy an outdoor pool or watch the kiddos build sand castles while you get dinner ready or read a book on the patio. It's truly an unrivaled experience and we'd love to share our family condo with you.

You name it, it's new in our unit. We recently redid everything from floor to the ceiling. New floors, cabinets, appliances, quartz countertops, king size bed, sofa with a pullout, and a new TV to unwind after a long day playing in the sand. If comfort is what you desire, comfort is what you'll get; as we believe our second home should be just as comfortable, if not more, than our primary residence.

You'll also be welcomed to a fully stocked kitchen for those with a passion for cooking, or looking to save a few bucks. Cooking not your thing? Mix a few drinks with the blender or open a bottle of wine before you head to one of the delicious restaurants that we've provided in the suggestions guide at the unit.

We strive to create an atmosphere that'll allow you to make the lifetime memories you came to Destin to achieve. A beachfront paradise where you park your car outside to open the door to an ocean view that makes you forget about it all right away so you can....VACATION! The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach inside don't hurt either....or at least that's what we think!

So what are you waiting for? Come stay with us and see all that Destin has to offer!

This is a private one bedroom condo that you will have full use and access to during your stay.

We are available before, during and after your stay. Just a phone call, text or email away! We have included a binder in the unit of places we like to venture out to to get you pointed it the right direction for some of the additional amenities and hot spots around the area.

The condo complex is located right on Crystal Sands beach. The sand is so fine it squeaks beneath your feet as you're walking towards the water. Magical! We are within minutes of several great restaurants and bars. We're also a mile walk/drive to Destin Commons where there are several shops and restaurants to keep you busy throughout your stay. On the beach you're able to rent paddle boards, jet skis and some other smaller equipment. If you're looking for something bigger or other activities they are also close by and some suggestions are included in the binder we conveniently located in the condo for reference during your stay.

Most guests arrive with a car when coming to visit and you'll have access to the free parking lot at the complex. Some guests even choose to bring along or rent bikes while vacationing as it can be a fun way to see some of the sites and hope around the area. There are racks to lock them up.

Check out our reviews on our other unit in this building too as we just listed this one 1/13/21. (VRBO:1765260, 726646, 1195832, 2174003). We love what we do at the beaches of Destin and in the mountains of Breckenridge, CO.

Starting Jan 2025 the Bldg A pool will be closed for renovations but the building B pool will be open for guest enjoyment until A is complete. Thanks for your patience with us here as it will be a great little upgrade for the pool area.

Terrific condo, super-clean, right on the beach.

This property is located in a very nice area of Destin. My wife and I were very impressed with the outstanding level of cleanliness, and the very recently upgraded flooring, appliances, paint and attention to detail displayed by Nick, the owner. We had a very enjoyable stay and would love to come back here again. The beach is, literally, right out the back gate! Nick is very good with communication and helpfulness.

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I are Iowa natives with an affinity for travel and guest experience. Currently running vacation rentals in Destin, FL and Breckenridge, CO we feel absolutely blessed to call these our home away from home and we would be delighted to share our passions for travel and guest experience with you as the hosts' who inspired us so graciously have.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the views and proximity to town and the beach.

We love this property because the beach never gets to crowded beings there are no high rise buildings around; and because the town center is just a mile away if you need anything or want to go grab a bite to eat. Everything is walkable and the sunset and dolphin watching are unbeatable in our opinion.

What makes this property unique

Proximity to Beach & Town
FREE Beach Chair Service (March - Oct)
