Our rental was perfect! It was clean, and had everything in it you could possibly need! LOVE the extra ice maker! There was a coffe pot, a kuerig, a crock pot, and all the cookware etc. you could need. The location was amazing! Being on the first floor, you could literally walk out to your patio, and the pool and beach are right in front of you. Your friend at the beach is always so kind and accommodating! Roslyn messaged us the day of check in to let us know we could get in early, she is always available to answer our questions, and on check out once we got to the airport we realized we left a gold chain and charm that was very important to our 5 year old. She immediately contacted the cleaning crew, they found it, and Roslyn is mailing it to us. Couldn’t ask for a better vacation, and better customer service!

Your Friend at the Beach was awesome. They had just the right amount of proactive communication, alerting us when the condo was ready, what the codes were and where to park. They personally called me to let me know the Condo was ready for a slightly early check in. And they followed up after a day just to ensure we had everything we needed. It was Personal touch, high service, without being intrusive. And of course, the Condo was spotless, in a perfect location relative to the pool, beach and nearby amenities. We had 4 little ones and 6 adults, which slept comfortably and loved walking out the back sliding doors for fast first-floor access to the beach And while I don’t recommend this for anyone, if your wife must be hospitalized the night before you leave, you will find that Friends cares enough to check in with you during your second week in Destin, at the hospital! They even provided flowers to my wife. Incredible!We will be friends for life with YFAB!

We had a wonderful time staying here for the first time. This condo had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. We cooked in most nights but we were close to restaurants when needed. This is a very family friendly spot and the weather and water were great. I we have already rebooked for next year and have recommended it to others.

Our stay at the Villa Coyaba was excellent . The location was great. So close to the beach. The unit had everything that we needed. The only suggestion that I could recommend is that the condition of the furniture was a little rough. Mattress’s sagged and were pretty worn out, living room furniture has seen better days and kitchen appliances were dented. The space was perfect for our family. We would stay again!
10.0 / 10.0
Location and condo overall were great! Kitchen cabinets, pots & pans and corners of kitchen floor could use a good cleansing. As well, in all fairness, potential renters should be informed in advance if neighbors are going to be remodeling during what is supposed to be a relaxing vacation week. Then one can choose if they want to stay in unit next to what sounds like drilling & jackhammering all day. We had difficulty doing work, taking naps and just relaxing with the noise. But I would suspect under normal circumstances this would be the perfect place for a quiet, relaxing, stress-free family/friend vacation. Plenty of room, walk out to pool & beach is ideal, and property & management are well monitored and maintained.

We enjoyed our stay on the bottom floor of the condo. The gym was nice, the pool was heated. This helped because the water on the beach was in the 60’s and really too cold for much beach activities in late November.

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying at this condo. The location was perfect. It’s directly on the beach, next to the pool, and ground level. It was extremely clean and spacious for our family of 7. It honestly can’t get any better than this condo. I look forward to staying here next year.

It was fine. Kitchen pots/pans need replaced. Front door needs work, big gap when closed. Shower heads in the master need replaced.
Otherwise, it was a enjoyable stay, quiet and well designed.

Stay was wonderful, property management great to work with when AC went out- went above and beyond to help. Only issue was the smoking of our neighbors the whole first week. They smoked prettier much all day and night on their patio. This was reported after it became too much and was easy to monitor as they had packs of cigarettes and several ashtrays on the patio furniture. It did not stop until they left at end of first week. There were several other smokers by the railing side not as bad as right next to us. 4 year old is very sensitive to smoke.

Loved the place! Right on the beach! Close to restaurants and shopping and kitchen well stocked with appliances and dishes. Only thing and I know it is hard to keep floors clean at the beach but I wonder how long it had been since they were mopped. Our feet were black on the bottom from the floors.

There are so many great things to say about our stay. But the biggest one to my family and I is how close we where to the beach and that we had access to chairs and umbrella at the beach. The condo had amazing views and the size of the condo was great for a family of 8.

Very nice as always. Nothing you can do about it but, the noise from the unit above 102 was a bit much. The insulation between floors must be non existent. The children ran back and forth all hours. I’m not complaining about the children, just the noise barrier! The kitchen could have had more attention to cleaning. Get rid of the mat in the kitchen, it’s filthy. A lot of crumbs and food not swept out from under cabinets. Floors were filthy. Walked through and my bare feet were almost black. I’m sure it’s very hard to keep the floors clean. The couch is nasty. Shame that people have not tried to keep it nice. So sorry to sound so negative. We will stay here again, we love the place! I reported the master bath shower door hinge is loose making the door drag a little. Also the frame for the sliding door in the living area was coming apart. Maint. fixed the sliding door, but not the shower door.

Villa Coyaba VC-102 on Crystal Beach was the best location we have ever stayed at. This villa is fully furnished with everything you need for a stay with family and friends. From the wide assortment of kitchen furnishings including an ice machine that kept us in ice for the week, to perfectly furnished livingroom, bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved having the charging connections for phones and computers right on the bedside tables. The Smart TV's gave access to whatever channel you wanted to watch. And a small cooler for the beach and some beach toys were available.
We will definitely return to Villa Coyaba VC-102 again.

Our stay with Your Friend at the Beach in Villa Coyaba, Unit 102, was fantastic! The condo was so spacious and perfect for our family. The quality of furnishings was top notch. The couch, some decorative pillows, and dining chairs were showing some wear and tear, but that’s to be expected. The cabinets were not soft close, so they tend slam shut if you’re not careful, perhaps there’s a way to remedy that to mimic soft close doors. The unit was very clean and came with everything we needed and more! The kitchen was fully stocked and we loved the ease of using the grills just outside of our unit. We appreciated the laundry supplies so we were able to wash towels as needed throughout the week. The beach and pool access were wonderful and we truly enjoyed the convenience of being on the first floor. Our favorite part of the condo was the covered porch. It’s so big and we spent a lot of time out there because it was shaded all day - which was wonderful to really enjoy the weather and the view! We will be back!

Excellent property on the beach
We travel every year to gulf coast for our annual family beach vacation. This was our first time in Destin and we had the opportunity to stay at this amazing property located directly on the beach. We had access to the community pool and beach with the provided umbrella/beach chairs set up for us every day! In addition, the property had additional beach gear for our use during our stay - so we didn't have to buy additional items to supplement our fun in the sun! The location was great for restaurants, shopping, activities other than the beach/pool and we will definitely be staying at Crystal Beach again - and would LOVE to book this property again!
