The property was in a great location. Beach and restaurants were walkable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Only complaint is the air conditioning thermostats seemed to have a hold timer set and increased temperature at night and it got a little warmer than we prefer at night but overall great stay

The place is perfect!

Easy

This house was clean & close to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of pots/pans - of ALL sizes, dishes, glassware/plastic cups. The private pool was HUGE, and the children/adults loved it. The house was perfect for us! If I had one complaint it would be with the beach service. We have been visiting Destin for 10 years for our family vacation and our biggest problem every year is beach related. A few years ago a lot of beach went private, so it is really nice that some homeowners provide a beach set up, 2 chairs/umbrella, and this property does. As we have a big family, 19, and lots of fair skinned/some redheads, we usually rent an extra set up, anywhere from $70 to $100 this year, and put our canopy up. Also, we rent back row, so as not to block anyones view. This year we were told no canopies were allowed, supposedly per request of the 2 property owners adjacent to the beach. We could walk a block or 2 to the public beach and put the canopy up. We rented near this private access and have done so for 4 years now, so with the little kids we can come back & forth easily. When you have 19 people 1 or even 2 set ups do not provide enough shade. We rented the extra set up, but some of the family just didn't come to the beach but twice as they couldn't handle the sun. This is something the homeowners probably have no control over, but they might be able to fight for some beach rights as Destin has SO MANY HOUSES to rent, & those homeowners are paying taxes, & bringing in a lot of revenue for the city. Just a suggestion for check in. You ask that we let you know when we are out of the house on Saturday so housekeeping can come in. It would be nice to have an e-mail or text that the house is ready for check in. Due to the distance people travel, it is not easy to predict arrival time, and sitting in the car in Florida temperatures is not an option. If available earlier it would be nice to know. In our case every house we have rented up to this one, they have notified us. Thanks for letting us make some great memories!

Awesome place to stay. I will definitely stay here again!

As close as you can get to the beach without being in it. Great amount of space in the house and in the patio/pool area. Highly recommend!

This was a great place to celebrate my 60th bday! We had 12 adults and plenty of room! Everyone had their own bedroom, and there's plenty of bathrooms. Beds were comfortable except for the bunk beds. The house was very clean and decorated nicely. I think the only thing we needed that they didn't have was salt & pepper. The pool was awesome, but we had to pay $100 per day to heat it, but it was like bath water! Location is great....close to everything. Beach of course is beautiful! We never ran out of toilet paper or paper towels, but did have to buy garbage bags. We did a lot of drinking out by the pool and never had a noise complaint.

This location is wonderful! Easy to get to the beach, great pool, very comfortable beds and easy access to lots of fun things to do!

We had a blast..Adults and kids enjoyed the heated pool and close access to beach.house had all aminities for a pleasant stay with family. Regards

Second time staying at this property and I just love it! It’s clean, spacious, has a great outdoor entertaining area and the easiest walk to the beach!

We were a group of 18 that stayed for 6 days. The house was absolutely perfect! From the amenities to the proximity to the beach, could not have asked for better accommodations. The owners were great about quickly responding to each and every question we had prior to arrival. Having the pool there at the house was a huge plus. Would definitely recommend, and will look to rebook this same house for our next large family beach vacay.

Very bad musty/moldy smell on main level. Had to go buy carpet cleaner, damp rid and febreeze. Still didn’t help.

Great place!

House was great- the noise from the street was a little too much.

Property was super nice, super clean and very short walk to a private beach! Loved our stay!!!

First trip to Destin and was delighted with location. Close to beach. Pool was ideal. Multi floors and great for 10 adults and 2 youngsters. Comfortable and clean. Family wanted to stay another week. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Crystal Beach. The house was well appointed and very comfortable. But the biggest hit was the pool! We were so happy we decided to have it heated. The kids enjoyed it everyday!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. The location was great as well.

Excellent on all points. The garbage instructions need to be clarified specifying the actual street as opposed to the alleyway

My family and I had a wonderful time at this beach house! It was spacious, clean, and well taken care of. The covered patio with a ping pong table and large table was the family favorite—a nice feature regardless of the weather!

This was our second time staying in this area and we were thrilled to discover how easily accessible the beach was from this house. We had 8 adults and 12 kids (ages 6mo-9yo) and while we rented a golf cart, it was definitely not necessary to access the beach. The house was clean and exactly as advertised - several large walk-in closets that worked well for pack n plays. The floor plan would actually be perfect for a slightly older group of kids because the downstairs living area made a great hangout space, ours just weren't quite old enough to all be on another floor unsupervised.

AMAZING house and location!! Beds were comfortable and clean! Hard to please a big group of people and no one had any complaints! Plenty of dishes/towels/sheets were available. I also noticed that a second coffee maker had been added to the house for the coffee fans. Will definitely be back!

This was an exceptional home. The layout and location of this home was excellent. I would definitely stay again. The outside area was perfect and relaxing.

Property was just as advertised but I have a few suggestions. Rugs at all door entrances to cut down on sand coming into the house would have been nice. It would have also been beneficial for us when we checked in because it was raining buckets and it made the tile extremely slippery, so we had to throw down a few beach towels. Also, all the couch pullouts need their mattresses replaced. None of them were very comfortable. Felt as if we were laying directly on the springs/coils. Loved the covered area under the house as we used it everyday as we had a lot of rain while in Destin. If we would have had to be in the house it would have been extremely crowed and no place that all 20 of us could have gathered together. The pool was a good size for our party of 20, and one of the biggest ones that I could see in our area. Also had plenty of dishes and anything that would be needed to make a meal. Definitely needed the 2 refrigerators. Also we had a few issues while were there and they were taken care of immediately. Justin, who was the property manager, was very attentive to our needs, and extremely friendly and personable. Last thing I'd like to mention is the private beach/access. We were given a complimentary umbrella with 2 chairs with the house rental, but we were second row on the beach and evidently according to the umbrella rental guy we could not put our own personal beach chairs into the water in front of anyone else's umbrella. He told me that we could not sit in the water in front of anyone's umbrella nor an umbrellas width behind their given umbrella. All the beach umbrellas were right on top of each other which made it impossible to get through to where our umbrella was situated. So, evidently to have water access with your own chair you would have to rent an umbrella for the week. Didn't know who else to ask about this, but if this is the rule of thumb then I would definitely reconsider returning even though the house was great and the water was beautiful. All in all a great vacation.

Short walk to the beach - great place to stay!

Getting to the beach was super easy! Property just as advertised online. Really needs at least two coffee makers in the house. Can you imagine 12 people waiting on one coffee maker?!

We all enjoyed our stay in Crystal Vista, it has a very spacious layout and a great location to easily access the beach. The only thing that we did not like was the parking. For a house that size to hold that many guest there is not enough parking. We had 4 diesel pick ups and the parking was very limited and tight. We found ourselves having to move at least one vehicle out to the front every day just so we could get in and out of the house easier but we weren’t allowed to leave the vehicles parked over night out front which made things a little difficult. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and our time away!

Crystal Vista was laid out perfectly for our large family. It really is just a short walk to the beach! That outdoor entertainment area but the ping-pong table and large dining table was perfect for all of us gather together .

This property was conveniently located, clean, and the layout was great! Highly recommend!

Our large family/friends stayed in Crystal Vista for a week. We loved the location, the decor is beautiful and the beach access was great! Our favorite part was the amazing patio area beside the pool. We spent every evening sitting there, playing cards, talking and laughing together as some of kids splashed in the pool or played table tennis. Most of the beds were comfortable. Having a living area on each floor was also a bonus! The only drawback is the tight parking and lack of mirrors in the house. I know the mirror thing sounds silly, but when you have that many people getting ready for dinner or evening activities, mirrors in the bedrooms would be VERY helpful!!!!!!!! Check-in was easy! Communication was good. The neighborhood was great!!!!! We loved our week in Crystal Vista!!!!!!

We loved the house and had a great time! We had a large group of 18 and we were all very comfortable. The house was clean and well stocked. We met a member of the management team during our stay and he was very nice and went out of his way to help us with a few things around the house. Thanks for the wonderful memories!
