Myself, my husband, parents, 3 year old and 18 month old stayed here for 4 nights. We had a great stay! The room with twin beds is very very small and doesnât get the best circulation, but it worked out fine for us. We got 2 beach chairs and an umbrella which was great! Pool was also nice when the kids needed a break from the pool. Overall it was great! The condo also had 2 baby gates which were great to put by the stairs going up to the loft.
We had an amazing stay! The property was a good size for our family â comfortable and clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made meals so easy. The location couldnât have been better, and the beach chair service was an absolute bonus. We loved spending time on the deck, soaking in the beautiful view of the beach!
My family has stayed at Crystal Villas for over 5 years, each year in a different spot. This was our first year on the 3rd floor. The extra flight of steps wasnât an issue at all and well worth the extra space. The unit was clean and we had no issues at all during the stay. As a family of 4 we had more room than we needed, but it was nice for the 2 kids to have room to spread out and play, etc. no complaints, other than it will be really hard to go back to the standard king and bunks room in the future .
Property was clean. Main issue was both the upstairs and downstairs bath tub drains were partially clogged and drained very slowly, resulting in standing in ankle deep water while showering. Also would have liked to had more toilet paper than a single roll of one ply toilet paper available. HOA prohibited tents from being set up on property so we had to set up each day on public beach directly beside the condo. Excellent view of ocean from balcony was nice. No elevator to upper floors which was disclosed. They do have ground level units which would not be an issue. Parking lot had plenty of spaces available but was tricky for large full size SUVs. Overall we enjoyed the stay just some minor issues that would have made it nicer had they been resolved.
Everthing was great. Lots of stairs , but we knew that up front. The bathrooms are dated, Other than that I would recommend this unit and would defintely stay again.
Great time-perfect location-beautiful location-condo a little bit dated but clean(-sloped entrance)-no elevator but easy access. Reasonably priced for time of year.Overall Four and one half stars.
This condo was perfect for our family vacation! The location is fantastic, right on the beach!! The condo itself is well taken care of and very comfortable. The owners are great to work with, responding to emails and returning security deposit very quickly. If you're planning a trip to Destin, book this condo!! It was a great vacation!!
Very nice condo right on the beach! Plenty of room! Close to restaurants & shopping! The only downfall was the temp did not cooperate until the day we left for home! It was cold, but that didnât stop the kiddos from playing in the sand & water! Would stay again!
This condo was beautifully decorated and well stocked. The bed in master was so very comfortable you sink right into it. The private upstairs loft has a bedroom and another room with two twin beds. Very enjoyable stay at Destin with the beach right there. Good access to restaurants, grocery, shopping and everything you need. I would highly recommend this condo.
My husband and I stayed at this beautiful condo to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and it could not have been more perfect. Space, quiet, the balcony, the beach, perfect weather...we just wanted to stay forever. What a fabulous home for the week and Charlie is wonderful! We want to go back, and Crystal Villas in Destin is our new favorite vacation rental home.
Loved the condo., loved the view!!! All things we needed to cook and make drinks. 3rd bedroom no window very small, probably only for kids (we were 6 adults). All the codes to get into beach, pool were not listed at first, but newman was very responsive. Easy to walk to many places.
Our family stayed in this very nice condo for a week. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable too! It is right on the beach so the view from the balcony is breathtaking! We like that it is a private beach so it doesn't get too crowded. We liked having the beach service included with the condo and bought a couple extra chairs and an umbrella for the week from the beach attendant. We went to Camille's twice for dinner. It is within walking distance and the food is very good! We plan to return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us for the week!
Location is perfect. Pool is nice. Internet is about as bad as can be. Unable to keep connected reliably for work where needed.
Outside the internet being awful, the stay was a very good value. Also, Sarah and Newman-Dailey was a big help dealing with the Covid restrictions.
Location is critical for me, and this delivered as I hoped. Not everything was perfect, but totally met my expectations.
My family of 8 and mother enjoyed our stay at Crystal Villas 11A condo. The beach was a beautiful treat but the it's really enjoyed the private pool. The space was inviting and accommodating with everything you need in a kitchen. Great that they have a washer and dryer. With our big family. Our only complaint was there was same in our bed the first night there and under the bed. We hadn't even been to the beach. Made me wonder if the sheets were clean or the maid took a nap. đ We aren't into complaining and it was our first family vacation ever. Either way we had a great time and the facility is so close to restaurants and shopping. We look forward to visiting again.
Very comfortable accommodations. This is an older unit but it has had some upgrades and replacements over the years.
Had some trouble with the dishwasher although it looked like a fairly new unit. Some of the dishes, silverware and cookware items were not clean on arrival, which may have been due to the dishwasher problem.
We also spent some time and elbow grease cleaning the cooktop surface.
Kitchen is well stocked for any kind of cooking/food prep.
Other than the kitchen problems we were pleased with the cleanliness. The linens were immaculate and the master king pillowtop bed was wonderful.
Stack laundry unit was efficient and much appreciated.
The balcony was our favorite spot and we enjoyed the tall chairs that gave us a great view of the beach, the water and especially the sunsets!
The umbrella and beach chair service is a great perk and we used it almost everyday.
Bottom line - we loved our stay here and hope to return!
The condo was great. It was very well stocked with everything you might need. The pool was what you would expect, it was not spectacular, but was clean and was great for the kids when it was raining with it being indoors. The condo was the perfect location and was only steps away from the beach. It was also less than a 5 minute drive to a grocery store and a beach activity supply store. The convenience to the beach was the best part. The beach was also blocked off for a private beach so it was not crowded at all. It was also great having the 2 beach chairs and umbrella already set up when you were ready to go down to the beach. The condo was super clean and the beds were very comfortable. Charlie was great to work with and went over and above to get our reservation made on late notice. We would definitely rent this condo again, it was one of the best vacations we have ever had!
We rent a condo on the beach every spring break. This was the most expensive rental weâve utilized and it wasnât worth it. It was nice, but not for what we paid or where we have stayed in the past. The bathroom sink and the bathroom tub were clogged and didnât drain well. The bathroom doorknob was broken and barely opened. The dishwasher didnât wash the dishes. We ran it twice and nothing was clean. There is not a place for recyclables. The tile grout was strained and dirty. On a positive note, having 2 chairs and an umbrella everyday was awesome, the bedding was clean along with the majority of the condo. It was nice, but not compared to places weâve stayed at before which were cheaper.
