Fun in the Sun

Our group had a blast at the Crystal Beach property. Short walk to the beach was exactly what we needed, and the pool was great for those who didn’t want to get sandy. Everyone enjoyed themselves and was very happy we stayed here compared to other properties we had considered.

Great Reunion Location

House was beautiful and walk to beach was easy and safe for older kids to go on their own. Enjoyed having pool option when we wanted to be closer to the house but be outside. Destin is amazing and we would return. Recommend this house for large groups with kids.

Impeccable home two blocks from the beach

This property was perfect for a trip to the beach among friends. We had lots of space to spread out across floors, plenty of bathrooms, and the home was comfortable and well stocked. Loved the pool and the quick walk to the beach — it was truly not more than 1.5 blocks away. The manager was great with our pre-trip questions and we had no issues on the trip. Thanks for a great stay!

Everything was great from the house, location, beach just Beautiful. The only issue with the house is, the dining room chairs needs to be replaced and the kitchen window needs to be sprayed due to little black bugs crawling on the window and counter top.

Nice and Cozy

There were 17 of us in our group and there was still plenty of room. The kids enjoyed the pool. Based on the listing I thought it was slightly closer to the beach, but it still wasn’t that bad of a walk. We just had a lot of kids.

Nice place for big group

We had nice time off, the place is spacious for group of people 20 people. Property was clean upon arrival. Only issue we had was as soon as we entered the property the fire alarm went off and it took 45 min for the maintenance person to come and fix it. Also love rentals were NOT accommodative for 1 hr early check in.

We’re definitely coming back!

We had a great experience, the only suggestion I have is to be more clear in the title of the property-it says heated poop but its only heated if you pay the additional fee and notify the property owner in advance of your arrival. I missed that in the information email but was still able to pay the fee and have the pool heated while we were there. It was an amazing vacation for our family of 17- 8 adults and 9 kids. So close to the beach and such a beautiful area for a vacation in October. Perfect weather and incredible sandy beaches, fishing and food options. We’re definitely coming back!

Great Family Vacation Spot

We had 16 people in the house and had plenty of room and privacy! Linens and beds were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. We did have small children and there is only the one large garden tub in the main floor master so it was a little challenging for bath time. The walk to the beach isn’t too far for a healthy adult but may be challenging for kids and elderly. The beach access isn’t handicap accessible and has lots of steps which prove to be challenging for some of our group. The pool is smaller than the picture alludes to but is very well kept and clean. Overall, we loved the house and would book again!

House was big and very nice, everyone loved the house and everything in it. Paid to heat the pool but it was not that warm. All the people we met there that were renting said their pool was really warm. Tried contacting the property manager, didn’t respond right away but eventually said he’d get someone out there to turn it up but never did. So got ripped off there but that will happen. Nice quiet neighborhood close to a lot of stuff. Very good house and backyard, but poorly managed.

Lots to Love!

This is a really nice property and we throughly enjoyed our stay! Everything was as advertised and we really appreciated the room layout, two bunk rooms, beautiful kitchen with fully functional appliances, ambiance of the pool lights at night, umbrella and chairs beach set up daily, extra chairs, ample parking, comfy beds, nice selection of utensils, dishes and cookware, responsiveness of management and convenient check-in. However, there were a few inconveniences to which management responded quickly: multiple drains were clogged, one of the showers would leak through the ceiling and we had a bug problem. Roy was great and we appreciated him coming by and fixing a few things, arranging for pest control and giving us more information about Destin. A few things we didn't report, that if addressed may be appreciated by future visitors - one of the wheels on the beach cart was broken, the doorknob to the terrace off one of the bedrooms was broken, the doorknob to the patio/pool needed tightening, the bottom step of the ladder out of the pool was broken and there was only one recycle container. It would have been helpful for us to have 2 recycle containers since pick-up is only once a week and we ended up having to put a lot of recyclables in the trash bins. Overall, it's a wonderful house and if you're considering it, we highly recommend!
