Great location, unit is on the 3rd floor with no elevator so be aware if you have mobility issues. Otherwise great stay. Only knock was the appliance delivery to the unit next door at 7am on a Saturday.

We’re so glad you loved the location and the stay! We obviously cannot control things outside of the unit specifically and are so sorry you were bothered by a delivery to another unit; furthermore we do list that this building is third floor and has no elevator in our listing description. We sure wish we could have earned your 5 stars, it’s what we strive for!

Destin Vacation

We had a great stay in Destin! The location was absolutely ideal—close to everything we needed but still felt peaceful and relaxing. The place was very clean and well-maintained, which made it feel super comfortable right away. We especially loved the pool and the surrounding area—it was perfect for both relaxing and spending time with the kids. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Extremely comfortable for a family of four with teenage kids. Fun decor, right across the street from the beach all conveniences are available in this condo including TVs in each person’s space (even each bunk bed) with streaming apps, fully accessorized kitchen with a dishwasher, and washer and dryer. This is our second stay here. It is also extremely clean and the owner is very responsive for any questions.

4th of July week!

5 Stars – Perfect Beach Getaway!We had a wonderful stay at Grand Caribbean East in Destin! The condo was absolutely perfect—clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The beach is just steps away and truly stunning—white sand, clear water, and not overly crowded. We also loved spending time at the pool, which was peaceful and well-maintained.The location is great—close to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions, but still quiet enough to feel like a true getaway. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

We loved that it was a smaller building, stairs aren’t bad at all. The room is right by the stairs as well. Beautiful view, loved the hot tub, and the whole vibe of the condo. Easy access to beach, don’t miss Camille’s right down the street for coffee, then hop straight over to the beach for sunrise!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Setters

Host profile image
Hello! We are a family of beach lovers and can't wait to share our beautiful space with you! We love this area of Destin; it's quiet, plenty to do and see, and of course the crystal clear water and pristine beach! We have been visiting the area for years with our family and are happy to provide recommendations and/or answer any questions that you may have to help make your stay the best it can be!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of it's stunning views of the ocean, the super short walk across the street to the beach and because it's just such a beautiful area where you can walk to many restaurants if you choose and plenty of entertainment, shopping and more is just a short drive! We hope you love Destin as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

This area of Destin, Crystal Beach on Scenic Hwy 98, has it's own "small beach town feel"; there are no high rises in this area, there are runners, bikers, walkers and golf carts buzzing around most of the time! It's just a happy, peaceful, gorgeous little slice of heaven!
