Perfect quiet location with pristine beach

Great functional set up for everything beach and sunset gazing. Layout of the unit accommodates families and separation for different activities. Plenty of space for small families or groups, patio with beach overlook captures both sunrise and sunset. Amazing sugary sand.

The property was very pretty, but some areas need deep cleaning. Black mold in washing machine which had an odor, bathrooms and kitchen need deep clean. Overall it was a nice place.

Very recommended

Have been going to Destin for 25 years and this area is the best we have ever found. Think it’s a hidden gem! We went to Camille’s every single day, sometimes twice. The batter on our door key code went out and when I contacted management they came within the hour. The gate code changed on the 1st of the month and they let us know ahead of time of the change. They were maxing to work with and I recommend this stay to anyone. We talked on way home about making this our new traditional spot each summer!

beautiful

We absolutely loved this place, it is so big and roomy enough room for all 9 of us and plus some. Love the view of the gorgeous beach and the pool area was great especially when the beach water was so cool. The only complaint is the umbrella/chair guy he could use some manners. BUT This is definitely a must stay!!

Beach was great. Water is so pretty and clear there. condo was perfect for the 5 of us. 3-yr old had the bunk room, son and daughter in law had the bedroom close to toddler and grandma and grandpa had the main bedroom with views of the beach. The beach 3 baths were very convenient when we all wanted to shower at the same time when coming back from the beach. We will stay there again

Great Getaway!!!

This was an excellent property! The condo complex was only 6 stories high so it eliminated tons of people vying for an elevator. The view was phenomenol...dolphin pods swam by every morning. The kitchen counter had a fantastic space for all of us to sit and enjoy lunch back up from the beach. Plenty of space for all 5 adults and 3 bathrooms..marvelous. Walking distance from some cool restaurants. I highly recommend this place...I'll be back for sure next year!

Vacation Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was nice. The layout of the condo is a little strange with the refrigerator and the island. The bedrooms were spacious and it accommodated us well. The amenities were not great. I didn't like how the pool and bbq pits were situated but I do like the location of the condo and being able to walk to certain things. I don't think I would stay at this particular condo again but if I knew someone that needed to accommodate a large group, I would recommend it.

Nice condo, great location

I would stay here again. Personally we would have liked more comfortable seating in living, it was bad weather 3 of our days so we had to stay inside. A lounger that lay out flat would have been great on the patio. The wind was too rough to sit on beach. But it had lots of room and 3 baths helped alot.

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: This condo has the most beautiful view, of sunrise and sunset. The home is clean, uncluttered, and tastefully decorated. Because I am a daily walker, I loved the blacktop path located right across the street. We appreciated that so many restaurants were minutes away. We had a problem figuring out how to use satellite TV on the livingroom TV but that's only because we're Roku users and it is a very different set up. This was our first trip to Destin, and a very positive experience.

Great location on the beach

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 3 bedroom and 3 bath condominium was great for our family trip that included kids, parents, and a grandparent. The property gave us easy access to the beach, restaurants, grocery store, and fun activities. A major plus is the private area on the beach just for the patrons of Crystal Dunes. Also, we really liked the well stocked kitchen, having 2 elevators, and the team of workers that cleaned the property every morning. The only negative was that signs around Crystal Dunes say it is a smoke free property but there seemed to a bit of a very faint smoke smell inside this unit. Not a deal breaker since half of the family could not smell it but definitely glad to have the allergy meds for the other half. We enjoyed our trip to Destin and will definitely return!!
