From a business traveler for the last 15 years and as a marriott hotel stayer (both for work and vacations), this was my first ever Vrbo rental and it was really amazing experience! Marybeth made this a seamless process as she provides you all the info and "things" you need to make your stay enjoyable and hassle free. I won't count all the positive things, but I would say thank you Marybeth and - as promissed - we will definitely be back. I very Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful beach front getaway. It is super conveniently located on the first floor. You can just walk out to a great non crowded part of Destin’s gorgeous beach. It is comfortably furnished and has a nice renovated kitchen. Property manager was quick to respond. Easy check-in and out. We have been vacationing in Destin for over 20 years and this was our favorite condo by far. We will be back!

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.
