Top Crab Island Hotel Reviews

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"I feel the vibe made it awesome we just wanted a place to lay our head down at the end of the day! It ended up being more then just that the staff was amazing so we went and visited them well we enjoyed the sunshine."

Beach view condo, serene view of East Pass, walk to beach on Holiday Isle

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot to watch the fireworks! We were disappointed that so much has changed in the neighborhood and everything is fenced off requiring quite a walk to the beach and then the chair people wouldn’t let you set up and made you walk even further. But great comfy location for fireworks. Host was quick to respond. Had some incorrect check in info due to old instructions from the property management but owner answered my call immediately and walked me through it! Thanks for a great Fourth of July stay!"

Dolphin Cove - Gulf Front Townhome with Private Outdoor Area

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice property, and was a 3 minute walk tot he Beach. Very spacious for large groups to where you are not on top of each other. Very nice up to date Kitchen, TV's, Bathrooms are all very nice. Large Dining area for 6. Very convenient to Destin Harbor Area.Only recommendations for upgrade is a more comfortable couch sitting area. It is outdated and not comfortable.Nice outside sitting area but decking and stairs needs to be cleaned and improved.Only other thing for future booking guest when reviewing please consider the number of stairs to be used if there is elderly in your group or thos who might have problems going up & down stairs. It would be tough for them.But this is a place I would stay at again for sure."

Beachfront Condo, gorgeous views, beach access & close to everything

8/10 Good

"The condo was clean. The view was beautiful. A couple details to note.... although the view in the photos show the beach basically in the backyard, one must walk to the street and 20-30 yards down to access it (there is a tall chain-linked fence blocking any possible entrance any closer. The water is crystal clear, however there are jellyfish everywhere. The beach seen is a small beach between jetties. Still beautiful,but not clear in the advertisement.The condo itself is clean,.. a lot of knick knacks everywhere, so beware if you have small children.Beds are comfortable. Balcony is pretty, but could use an umbrella or screen to help with the heat from afternoon sun.If you are staying longer than a weekend, definitely plan to buy more dishsoap,paper towels, and laundry detergent than is provided."
