We had a wonderful stay. The condo is newly renovated and very cozy and the perfect place for our week stay. Great proximity to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better condo to stay at for our last minute getaway to the beach.
The condo was very spacious for a family of 10. It was very nice, clean and beautiful condo! We plan to visit again in the near future.

Beach Condos in Destin
Our family had a wonderful time! The condo was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Great location to the beach, just had to cross the road. Plenty of room for the 6 of us (4 adults & 2 children) where we weren't in anybody's way. Really enjoyed being able to look at the ocean while eating at the table. Would definitely go back!
My stay at Crystal View was an amazing experience. It's the perfect location, and you can see the beach from the balcony. The condo was very clean upon arrival, and included almost everything we needed. I'm very happy with my choice to stay at Crystal View. I recommend these condos!
Very nice condo, the view was amazing. Location was perfect to everything. Management responds quickly. I highly recommend this condo. We will be back next year.
Quick getaway for friend group! This condo is HUGE felt more like a house than condo. The view of beach is much better (closer ) than it looks. Comfy beds, nice beach , well stocked easy check in. Yup will be back
Love the location directly across from beach access. Having the beach chair and umbrella set up a big plus. Condo was as described, very nicely decorated, clean, roomy and awesome. This my second stay at Crystal View and look forward to returning next year. Its grat tha they accept pets, unfortunately I wasn't able to bring my dog this trip but will next year. Highly recommend this property.
Thank you.
We were very happy with this condo. Loved all the natural light and the layout worked well for us as we had a little privacy from others that came to visit. We appreciated the location as we were able to walk to quite a few stores and restaurants. The view of the Gulf was fantastic and it was fun to people watch from the balcony. The one thing we would have enjoyed is a dining table/chairs on the balcony. There were ample kitchen supplies and dinnerware in the condo. The beds were quite comfortable. Overall, a fantastic stay!
The condo was decorated beautifully. The view was amazing and we enjoyed seeing the other pets in the building when we took ours outside. The only thing that we would change is the size of the TV in the room near the kitchen, its a bit to small for older eyes. Otherwise, we would definitely recommend and stay again.
We stayed there with our grown children and grandchild! The condo had minimal decor and was a breath of fresh air. The open floor plan for the kitchen dining and living room was great! We had everything available that we needed and the location was amazing! The balcony had a great view and was huge! Just a walk across the street to a private beach. Checkin was available on time and with ease. Definitely will stay there again! Couldn’t have enjoyed it more!
We had a lovely stay. The condo exceeded our expectations with amazing balcony views and great amenities. As 3 adult couples we really enjoyed all having king size beds and our own full baths. The balcony was separate from other condos and was very large and inviting. The living space was large and had many options for seating. Our group enjoys cooking and we were thrilled with the well stocked kitchen! Having a good supply of extra bath towels was also a welcome surprise!
It was directly across from the ocean with a great section of private beach,
We would definitely stay at this location again.

This is a good residence that served us well but was dirty upon arrival which we took care. The two sliding doors need replaced as the one in the bedroom leaks and the other is difficult to open and the doors need adjusted as they have sagged with the settling of the building
The property was in a good location to the beach. The pool was convenient Had to drive everywhere else. The. Condo was clean with some minor issues, coffee pot cracked, crockpot not workable. The washer and dryer not suitable for 8 people doing laundry. Dryer took 2 cycles to dry clothes. We had to clean vents to get that.
Our A/C stopped working one night and the condo was 85 inside. Since the balcony was sealed close for repairs it was alwful, My text was received the next morning and the management company responded immediately with swamp coolers and various types of fans were brought to the condo. They secured a company that fixed the A/C the following day. With there outstanding response I gave them 5 stars.
We really enjoyed staying in the condo. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was very nice and modern. Very short walk to the beach. Would stay here again.
Our condo was very nice and open which was great to visit with family. Our 15 month old twin grandson's loved walking around everywhere and spent a lot of time on the huge balcony with grandpa. We weren't crazy about the tile floors which made our feet dirty the first night so hope one of the upgrades will be vinyl planking throughout the condo. Tile is hard to clean up the sand even after I vacuumed several times. We were very close to our favorite restaurants, Pompano Joe's and Kenny D's so that was nice. We had a great time and will return to this condo again!
Everything was amazing! The decor and location were perfect
