The unit is in a great family oriented neighborhood. Plenty of off street parking. Very easy to navigate around the area. The unit was clean and adequately stocked. Our host was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. Definitely would select a unit that the host owns. Our unit was on the first floor and opened up onto a patio overlooking the gulf beach (just steps away)!

Beautiful, clean, comfortable condo on the beach. Attentive host. Loved the small touches-plenty of hangers, great storage, hand soap, coffee filters, and garbage bags. Having rented condos before, this one was and is the best ever. Thank you.

More information

The house was great and the rental owner was awesome. No issues with the house during our stay. One thing that would be nice for VRBO is to let renters know that you can’t bring your own umbrella or canopy to the beach. The beach would not allow anyone to bring their own and you had to rent from the vendor. This information would have been nice to have before booking. Renting 2 extra umbrellas at $200 each for the week is large expense. Other than that we had a great stay

Perfect Vacation

Booking, check in, and check out, all a breeze.The unit itself was perfect, from the cleanliness, the stocked kitchen(plates,cups, cookware), the updated appliances, the additional things you and the family might want at the beach(extra beach chairs, little cooler, boogie boards),to the view right out your back door, it really was just a wonderful stay.We absolutely loved the beach service that was included daily.(Each unit gets an umbrella and two beach chairs on its own private, clean beach) The owner was very tentative, and was extremely easy to get a hold of. We ended up arriving early and within the hour she was able to get us in so we didn't have to wait in the heat for hours. *Much appreciated*This specific unit is one my family will hopefully be able to come back to next year. I really can't say enough good things about this place. It truly felt like a home away from home . 10/10 recommend!!!

About the host

Hosted by Marybeth Barcus

Host profile image
I live in Destin full time. I have owned rental homes and understand what a person would like while they are on their vacation. Our time is so precious now a days with our busy schedules so I want to make sure your time away from your busy schedule is very special.

Why they chose this property

Living here in Destin provided me an inside view of the better homes to purchase. Crystal Sands is a very safe and quiet resort property. It is convenient to all the shops and restaurants and you can walk right out to the beach from your unit. There is plenty of parking at this property too which is another nice plus.

What makes this property unique

It's directly on the beach and we spent a lot of money to make this a very nice beach home for our family and to those who would like to stay here.
