Our family escaped to the beautiful white sands of Destin & our stay was great at Crystal Sands. The property was clean & just what we needed for a great week!
we loved being right on the beach and it was gorgeous. It did smell a bit musty, and there were dead cockroaches in the kitchen under the paneling just sitting there and that was a big turn off. Some of the pictures had mold in them, which I am assuming was contributing to the mold smell. For the price we paid unfortunately I would not go again.
We booked our wedding anniversary stay here bc the pictures and location!! What we walked into is as follows:
!. We landed in Florida and still never had a code to enter for our condo after a frustrating dance with calls to get it....
2. Opening the door on arrival (the smell was awful) the door stopper on the wall just fell off and the chain on the door was broke. For security !!! We couldnt use it!
3. After leaving luggage to look at the rest of the place here is what we found.
a) Kitchen refrigerator leaked so much from the
freezer inside the refrigerator that there was a
puddle of water always! The front of the refigerator
was so dirty and sticky, so gross.
b)Stove handle was so loose like it was going to
break off if we even wanted to use it.
c) Dishwasher we couldn't even open fully it was so
hard to use. and it was sticky dirty on outside!
d) Livingroom couch looked so disgusting like using
old slip covers(that were dirty) and it sank in the
middle!
e) No Screen on the back door. It was laying against
the wall outside. We couldn't leave the backdoor
open for a
breeze or the smell in the unit!!!!!!!!
f) The shower leaks at the faucet non stop even on
off. The drain didn't drain it took 10min for it to
drain while after showering .Its gross with sandy
feet trying to get cleaned up.
g) & BUGS!!!!!!!!!

Great condo. Pool was nice. It was as close as possible to the beach.
They could have layed out the condo more efficiently.
The master bedroom was too big. they could have shrunk the master and added 2 more tiny bedrooms and put a shower bath combo between them.
