Beautiful view

The stay was good . The view is beautiful. Easy access to the beach. Everything you could use for a small vacation. Room I had is beside the elevator so you hear people early in morning n late at night . Expected the pool to be open but it’s closed under construction. If you have little ones and you prefer the pool this won’t be the place until it’s open .

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great and the beach service was very nice to have. I must say the condo is a bit dated and needs updating. The stove top burners were not good at all, but we made them work. Pots, pans, utensils, need updated as well. They also need to get a new mattress for the bed. We have been staying in Destin for 25+ years and I understand all the use the rentals get, but updates are needed to keep up with the wear and tear.

Mildew Mess

The location was excellent. The private beach with beach chairs was good. The condo itself was very old and had a very strong smell of mildew. They tried to cover it up with a plug in so then it was a flowery mildew smell. It was the strongest in the master bedroom, where you are sleeping. I feel bad leaving this review but everyone should be warned.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great details and communication from Modern Beach Rentals and really liked the guidebook they emailed with all the info. Unit desperately needs the inner shower curtain liner replaced otherwise all was as as described. Condo location was great being right on the beach. Loved that the condo included the beach setup amenity. We enjoyed our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location is awesome, property very clean! Great communication from owners on any questions we had.

My husband and I stayed at Crystal sands for our honeymoon back in 2020 so we decided it was the perfect place to come back to for our babymoon. We have found the perfect place to always stay in Destin! It is always clean, communication is great, and the location couldn’t be better!

Great location and great place to stay

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: We've stay in this complex before, but are happy we moved upstairs to 209A and have already booked again for next winter. It is located in a great location on the beach, with great walking opportunities and close to many excellent places to eat. The upstairs deck is perfect for breakfast and some morning sun. We recommend Modern Beach rentals as a place for your stay in Destin. We'll be back next February!
