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!

Good First Floor Unit by the Pool

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a good first floor unit that opens directly to the pool. It is clean and has everything you need including beach chairs and an umbrella on the patio for your use! King bed is very comfortable. We were not told about the hot tub being under construction and that there would be workers present all day along with construction noise, but the property mgmt people offered to move us or compensate us. We chose to stay in the unit and use the hot tub next door. The hot tub construction should be complete by end of March. I would specifically ask if anything is under construction before booking since I heard that they might be re-doing the pool as well. I would say there are only two negatives to this unit that all should be aware of: First, additional noise since it's right on the pool and Second, you will definitely hear everyone walking in the unit above you (floors are very thin). We did the neighborly thing and let them politely know that it was really loud down below. We didn't expect them to "retaliate" by being even louder and stomping on the floor every time they were home! So, complain at your own risk.

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!

Home away from home

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.
