My husband and I loved this condo and definitely plan to book here again! The condo was beautifully decorated, fully stocked and organized, and was super clean! The views were amazing and the condo is directly across the street from the beach access. There was plenty of free parking and the check-in, check-out process was a breeze! The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. 10 out of 10!

This was my family’s first visit to Destin and this property was in a perfect location with beach views. Property was clean and up to our expectations just hoping for better weather next round. The communication from the owners was excellent as well.

Thank you so much Brittney! Although Destin saw some of the worst storms in decades upon your arrival, I could not have asked for better guests. Y'all were so patient and understanding as we dealt with weather related issues and we truly appreciated that. I'm just so happy y'all were able to enjoy the condo and your accommodations and salvage a few beach days. We hope that you'll be able to visit again soon with a lot more sunshine!!☀️☀️
Really enjoyed our stay here! This condo was perfect for us, loved it the minute I opened the door. Everything is just like the pictures and the view from the balcony is beautiful. Beach is an easy 2 minute walk. Building is well kept and at a convenient location. Owners of this condo are great!!
This condo in in a great location. Close to the beach and a short car ride from restaurants, shopping and other activities. The condo is well maintained and was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Unfortunately, our week had lots of rain but we were able to spend time on the covered balcony still enjoying the outdoors and hearing the waves.

Thank you David for the nice review and despite mother nature, I'm glad that y'all were still able to salvage some outdoor time on the balcony enjoying the beach views and listening to the waves. I hope that you and your wife will come back and stay with us again in the near future but next time with a lot more sun☀️
We loved this condo. Everything was so clean and organized! The owners were so nice & available for anything we needed. The access and walk to the beach was easy. Our only complaint was there is no elevator! But I do highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay at DestinMe Beach Retreat. Everything was exactly as pictured, if not better (like the beds & bedding comfort- you can’t get that from photos). Probably the best sleep I’ve ever had away from home. Me and my three kiddos each had a spot to rest with the really nice couch pullout and hall bunks. My youngest loved the bathtub so much he probably had three baths a day (ours at home isn’t as nice for soaking). The game selection was a nice touch and we donated a box of Rummikub, one of our family favorites for travel. As for the mom things: it’s rare to find people as detailed as I am, but this place fits the bill. Lots of communication, it’s impossible to miss- which is very nice when traveling. They were very responsive and fair (we needed remote batteries but then I accidentally packed home their first aid kit and they called it “fair exchange”). I love the focus on natural cleaners. The place did not have a toxic chemical smell from candles, artificial smell cleaners, etc. That can be hard to find online when staying in new places. The kitchen was more than well stocked. If you make meals there, you should have plenty of utensil/bowl/tool choices. Not sure if the bag of ice in freezer was for us or left behind by last party but that was a nice touch. Lots of other nice touches here. Very well thought out space and rental. Thank you for allowing our family to stay in your special place! We hope to be back soon!!!

The location was perfect, close to shopping and close to restaurants. It was amazing, me and my wife will definitely be booking and staying here again.

Walking into the room, you could tell it had been cleaned well and the place was well cared for. The place was spotless. It has pretty well everything you would ever need. Out on the balcony there is the awesome ocean view (even though it's across the street). The baby gate provided was awesome for us. The whole property seemed well cared for. It is close and convenient to everything.
Would definitely recommend staying here.

The condo was perfect for us!! Just the right amount of space and felt like home! It was the perfect location, literally just a hop, skip, and jump away from the beach!! The only bummer is there was no elevator, but we got in our exercise!! We really enjoyed our first trip of many to Destin!! Thank you Melissa and Stan for allowing us to stay in your home!!!

What makes this property unique
We fell in Love with this Property because of the Views of the Gorgeous Water and Beach. The Beach Access is so Close and We Love the Small Beach Town feel that Crystal Beach offers as well as the Walkability to Amazing Restaurants. We Love seeing all of the Families, Couples, Friends, etc. Walking, Biking and Jogging right outside our balcony. The Complex and Grounds are very well Maintained and we Love the fact that it is Low Density.
