Experience Your Vacation Haven

There’s nothing like a cozy, intimate getaway with you and the ones you love most. Those are the real memories that last a lifetime…it’s the trips where you don’t have big plans, you just want to go relax. If you’re looking to get away and relax with your family or friends, then the "Life is Good Today" rental at the Grand Caribbean West condo in Crystal Beach is calling your name. Get those toes in the water!

This charming, intimate one bedroom, one bathroom, first floor condo already has a major perk…you can walk right off your balcony into the community pool. How’s that for relaxing? Nearby, just across Scenic 98 are the sugar white sand beaches you so desperately want to sink into. By all means, go for it!

Inside of the condo, you’ll find the theme is beachy and the space is maximized. The master bedroom is outfitted with a new king bed and a new bathroom vanity. The unit also has hall bunks outfitted with televisions over each bed and the sofa pulls out into a sleeper bed, allowing as many as six guests to stay in the condo at once.

The condo’s kitchen is fully equipped with a breakfast bar, granite countertops, and all of the appliances you need for whipping up meals and keeping things fresh. The condo has a full laundry for your convenience (this is especially helpful if you have children!).

Outside of the condo’s comforts, enjoy the community’s grill and heated pool. Indulge in the immediate access to the sugar white sand beaches as well. Don’t forget to take advantage of all of the shopping, dining, entertainment, and recreation to be had in Destin, Florida. Life is good, but it’s also short…so get out there and have a great time!

Close to the beach!
The room was very close to the beach, short walking distance. Very clean beach and not crowded for August. Met a lot of nice neighbors out by the pool and was very enjoyable. The room was very cute! Only issue I had was with cleanliness. Bedding and sheets were clean, other items not so much. Reached out to property management who offered a few resolutions to remedy the issue quickly. They were very responsive and professional. Hopefully this issue will be addressed going forward. If so I would definitely revisit this room.

Perfect location
Condo was very clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked very well. I really liked the boxes packed with kitchen and bathroom products! I was thankful for the extra trash bags as we had forgot to bring/buy prior to our stay. We did enjoy the convenience of being by the pool; although, other guest did not abide by pool open times most every night (was a bit noisy). My only recommendation would be add a few small throws for the living room and have the housekeepers to bleach the mold from the washer seal. Overall, we really had no true complaints and enjoyed our stay! The kids enjoyed the toy box and we donated a few mesh bags to tote the toys. We’d choose this unit again!

We enjoyed our stay and cant wait to come back. Our condo was perfect and we loved the pool access and easy beach access from our condos back doorstep. The kiddos being able to walk out the door straight to the pool was awesome.

Spring break vacation
Property is clean and situated close to beach , restaurants and activities. This is our second stay here during spring break in the exact same condo. Only downfall was this year there were a group of inconsiderate people staying there also who were up till 3 am being loud and using the pool. I called the property management group but they were not able to help. I was thankful it was only the last 3 nights of our vacation that they were noisy all night. Minus this… I recommend staying here.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental is cute and functional. The ease of access to the pool ( right outside your patio door) and beach (literally right across the street) make this location a prime spot. Don’t need to rent a golf cart here. Bikes would be better.The Back Porch was a great dinner place.

Family Friendly
Overall this is a very nice property and was close to the beach and pool. Beds and furniture were comfortable and the kids had a blast. Only complaint would be that they are very strict on a 4pm check in. We got into town early due to flights and it was a bit inconvenient that the unit wasn’t available until exactly 4 despite being ready hours earlier. We know it was ready because we sat at the pool waiting for 2 hours. Aside from that minor inconvenience we had a great trip and was happy with the condo. Plan to bring or buy all of your own seasonings and basic cooking supplies that are often left at other properties. The unit had all the pots pans etc but there wasn’t even a salt and pepper shaker to be found.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo inside was very dirty. Upon arrival the floor was not clean. My wife had to sweep and mop. The bed matress was terrible. It is concaved on the right side of the matress. It was so bad that my wife slept on the lower hall bunk bed and I slept on the couch for 6 misserable nights. I did call and report this to Vacation Haven Sept 25. No one came to verify. Secondly, the unit is full of small insect flys. Like a knat or fruit fly. They are everywhere even in the fridge. We talked to three different guest of that stayed in this complex and their units had the same insects. Lastly, we found out that you can't set up on the beach where you like beacause of being private beach from the Pompano Beach Access. You only had one small area for public access and that was it. So, it's not enough that you paid condo rent for a wk if you want a decent beach spot you must pay for that also by renting an umbrella. I measured this trip upon my last 30 yrs of spending vacays along the beaches of 30a. Also dealing with a couple rental companies that truly check on you during your stay and as returning customer will discount as much as 60.00 off next booking. I don't like to complain but I'm telling like I experienced. The only call I got during my stay from My Vacay Haven was to tell me to please secure the patio furnsihings during a windy day. The staff that I spoke to of My Vacay Haven were nice and courteous reagrding booking.
