About this property

Just a few steps and your toes will be in the sand! ~ Beach Service Included!

Just a few steps and your toes will be in the sand.

The perfect location in Destin. Crystal Villas is located in the quiet section of Destin and is one of the limited properties directly on the beach. In order to get there, you do not have to travel down Highway 98, which is under construction and traffic is a nightmare.

* Crystal Villas has a PRIVATE BEACH! Therefore, you do not have the frustrating parking issue that people face when they choose a property off the beach or with a "beach view."

This condo comes with top of the line furnishings, linens, decorations, and all of the other "extras." The condo includes a variety of beach toys, unique games, current books, DVD's, and a "Smart TV." When it comes time to turn in, the King Size Marriott Bed an award-winning bedding, guarantees you a good night's sleep. There are built in bunk beds for additional sleeping, which are actually very comfortable.

This condo is located on the second floor, which means you have the glorious views that the first floor does not offer and you only have one flight of stairs to carry luggage up, whereas the walk to the condos on the 3rd floor can be a long haul.

Not only is the beach right on your doorstep, a myriad of eating, shopping and entertainment options are within easy walking or driving distance. If you want to mix in some activities with your relaxation there are plenty of options, including Dolphin Cruises, Deep Sea Fishing trips and a variety of water sports. You can take a stroll down Scenic Highway 98 or head east by car along the coast to the quaint beachside communities of Seagrove, Seaside and Rosemary Beach. At night, you can walk and enjoy drinks on the terrace of 790 On The Gulf or check out one of the many local beachside restaurants. Crystal Villas is located within 1000 feet of Henderson Beach State Park and is also within walking distance of Destin Commons where there is a state of the art movie theater, bowling alley, and upscale shopping. It is a short drive to Golf Courses, Water Parks and one of the largest outlet malls in Florida. The perfect location is what sets this condo apart from many others in the Destin area.

*Free Beach Service March 1 - October 31 (2 Chairs & 1 Umbrella)* & Kayak available for use with this unit at no charge (see beach attendant)

*7 night minimum (Saturday - Saturday) Memorial Day - Labor Day / Spring Break & Fall Break*

Good location

Great location. Loved the private beach. Was a little disappointed in the condo as we felt like we paid too much for what it was. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling and what looked to be vent issues/leaks. The place was pretty clean overall, the hosts were great, and the property manager was great.

Beautiful Beach!

The beach and chair service are wonderful, and communication with the property manager is excellent. However, the condo itself feels quite dated and cluttered. The kitchen is well equipped. Additionally, be aware that you need to bring your own essentials, such as hand soap, salt & pepper, beach towels. Given the price it was decent and we loved the beach!

Beautiful view but needs deep clean and update

Beautiful views with easy access to beach. Pool was great. Sofa and mattress are worn out and need replacing. Warped floorboards in hallway. Large Black and brown stain on ceiling in the bathroom. Socks were black from walking on the floor. Rusted metal basket next to shower needs to be removed since it is in the way of the washing machine and dryer and getting in and out of the shower. Again amazing views and location just needs some maintenance!

Beautiful view right on the beach. Sofa is not what is pictured. Off white dirty couch with stains on it. Needs replaced. King size bed was amazing. Like sleeping on a cloud. Overall nice place. Location a little too crowded for our liking.

General Disappointment of unit condition to-price paid

Communications with the property manager were great, but the unit was not in condition as the pictures advertise. I should not be paying the price I paid for what I discovered only after opening the front door. Some discoveries by me:1. Sweeper broken, two pans of sand swept with broom2. Condensation in one bathroom ceiling dripping water at the vent from evening till morning and ceiling wet3. Paint peeling on living room ceiling4. Dining table finish coming apart with sawdust when wiped5. Loose kitchen faucet movement hot/cold6. Faucet in one bathroom has to be set just right or it drips7. Dryer door latch would not stay closed8. Lint filter not working; if drying clothes after towels, all the towel lint sticks to clothes9. Hall floor warps when light mopping10. We could feel sand in the bed sheetsOverall, I liked the unit location, access to the beach, umbrella & chairs service and the pool. However, the disappointment of my unit condition really ruined the experience I expected for my family. One good thing; after calling the property manager regarding the sweeper not picking up sand, they sent someone over the next day with a brand new one. Downside, we filled it two times in 15 minutes with sand from the living room carpet and floor. I don't know about their other units in the complex, but I know that I can't recommend this location to anyone.

Anniversary trip March 2024

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. Condo was exactly as described, the view was amazing. The Condo is in a quiet area, so was less crowded which is exactly what we were looking for, for an anniversary trip! Would definitely recommend this condo and will be back. The only thing we would change is we would like the 3rd floor, as the noise from above was loud from time to time. Overall, wonderful trip and very much needed!

beautiful spot right on the beach.

great location, easy access central location store etc, beautiful "private beach" with great service, chairs umbrellas and special mention to the beach guy Zach (he even had free fresh coconut drinks). unit clean and comfortable with a fabulous balcony and view. great to see the blackhawks flyover daily with people on the beach waving and clapping. the daily dolphin sightings were good too.

Condo was lovely

We stayed during construction and even with all that was going on we enjoyed ourselves so much. The quick walk to the beach, the beach chairs, the ocean view, the beautiful condo! This condo had so much available to the guests, we were surprised. Games, beach toys, story books, stuffed animals, umbrellas and much more. The kitchen was stocked with everything you needed for anything you cooked.

Amazingly beautiful beach front condo

Upon entering the condo we were amazed at how well it was decorated. Its provided the beach feel in every place you looked. Having a private beach within feet of our balcony was a major plus. For us we prefer smaller low key facilities over the huge condos which can have hundreds of guests. Ellen was very easy to work with and made sure we were beyond satisfied from before arriving till after we left. We highly recommend this condo and will be returning in the near future.

Non-smoking facility???

It was a wonderful stay, however, for a non-smoking facility the guest below us smoked every time they were on their patio. For non-smokers it made for an unenjoyable experience as we tried to enjoy the balcony and the view.
