Beach vacation

The property was perfect for the two of us. We enjoyed being able to drink coffee on the patio and watch the waves of the ocean. The condo was as advertised clean and convenient to the beach and restaurants. We will likely stay here again!

Perfect Stay for a beach vacation.

It was exactly as advertised. Perfect stay for a family beach vacation. The only issue was drain issues.

Enjoyed the stay little discomfort

Had a good time staying at the property. Enjoyed the view and the location of property. We requested for some additional towels and also mainly requested for the linen and comforter for the pullout sofa. Requested couple of times, they said they will do but never honored. And also the shower drain was very slow creating inconvenience during stay. Other than that all was good.

Patio opens to beach

The room was right on beach which we prefer. Nice quiet area. Equipped for light cooking. Could use skillets that are in better condition, Luckily I brought 2. Safe- even had Amazon deliver to room x2. Enjoyed the beach chairs each day. King bed. Couch comfy. Found a great beach book there in room to read.

Great location need more attention

The location is exceptional—step through the French doors of the living room, and you’re right on the beach. Communication with the management office was somewhat delayed, though functional through the company portal. Despite reporting a few issues, their responsiveness was commendable; they even sent someone to address a concern on Thanksgiving night. However, cleanliness was a significant downside. The kitchen, bathrooms, and furniture require more attention to meet acceptable standards.

Place updated and as pictured but the mattresses in the king room and pull out bad were not comfortable at all. We did find a couple of roaches but they stayed they would be there promptly to spray after we left. The rug in the living room was filthy and I there was still sand on the floors from previous stay. The room is in a high traffic spot where people walk up and down from the beach and spray off but we love that the condo is smaller so the beach had less people and more private.

Great location

Location was great, nice quiet complex. We were missing some bath linens(washcloths/hand towels) upon our arrival, quick to respond via message, however we never received the items. House cleaners were to bring the next morning and we did not get the items so we purchased out own.

Pleasant stay

The location of this condo is perfect, being in the Crystal Beach area, which is our absolute favorite area in Destin. Our complaints regarding this unit would only be minor and are offered as constructive criticism only. The unit was nicely decorated and clean, except for the area rug in the living area, which was quite dirty. I would recommend providing coffee filters in the kitchen, as all other units we’ve stayed in included them and we had to run out to pick some up prior to making our morning coffee. Only two of the four vanity light bulbs were working in the main bathroom, so lighting was not ideal when getting ready for heading out to dinner. There were no mirrors in the bedroom, so that area did not provide a better location for lighting. We did see two cockroaches in the unit during our stay…one very large one in the bathroom and a small one in the kitchen.

Beautiful Condo But!

Beautiful location, view , Decor & neighborhood . One small disliking was the old jacuzzi tub. In need of an update terribly & the jets were black & slimy on the inside. It could use an updated shower and forget the old jacuzzi & the condo needs to be sprayed for bugs. We saw characters that we didn’t want in our luggage.

Inaccurate description

This year is the 4th year of us staying at Crystal sands, every time is been a different comfy but same building. Comparing to the others we’ve stayed, this has been the less kept up one, even though it says it’s been “fully renovated” if anything the kitchen is gotten work done. There is a review from September of last year, and after reading it, none of the stuff listed has been fixed. Everything is true. To add to the little issues, none of the power plugs work, only the ones been replaced around the kitchen area. Also, the first night we went out of the property we left our food out, and came back to roaches all over the food. The bathroom still has mold, old and dirty curtains along with the couches. The outdoor rug is very sandy. Asides from having the awesome view and the convenient access to the beach, there wasn’t much that we can say about this specific unit. We definitely enjoyed our vacations, but there was lots of small details that could be fixed, starting with some pest control

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights. It is exactly what we expected. It is as close to the beach as you can get. It is in very good condition, and was clean. We will stay here again when we visit Destin.

Nice stay

we loved being right on the beach and it was gorgeous. It did smell a bit musty, and there were dead cockroaches in the kitchen under the paneling just sitting there and that was a big turn off. Some of the pictures had mold in them, which I am assuming was contributing to the mold smell. For the price we paid unfortunately I would not go again.
