Our Spring Break trip included five adults and six teenagers, and the double houses provided plenty of space for our group. The pool was a huge hit, and splurging on the pool heater was a must during our early season visit. The property is in a quiet neighborhood where almost all houses are rentals, though we did not experience any noise or "party" issues. Most neighboring properties were other families, which is the general vibe in Destin and a big plus if you're trying to avoid college spring break vibes. The front, original house is a charming beach cottage vibe with plenty of updates while retaining the original character. The back, larger house is a great layout for sleeping as many people as possible, with four of our teen boys sharing the bunk room. Having bathrooms for each bedroom was a big plus. The property was clean upon arrival, the check-in process was smooth, and the owners had great communication up to, during, and after our stay. The golf cart was a plus, though parking if you're wanting to drive it to the beach can be a challenge. It did allow for some nice evening cruises on the beach road. We did experience an issue with one of the washers and one of the dryers, but the owners were attentive to get the issues addressed as quickly as they could. Having a set in each house would be excellent in most situations. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others.

Having the two homes was perfect for our trip. Had 5 senior college girls in the front house and remainder of us in the main house, was a perfect set up. Owner was so quick and helpful with any questions or help we needed. Loved having the golf cart and location was great, everything you needed was minutes away.

Excellent location to beach access. Swimming pool located between the two houses a big hit. AAA+++! is is

This property fit our family perfectly! Lovely area. Host were very attentive! We will be back!

The Diamond in the Sand was a perfect stay for our vacation. Both houses provided ample space and everything provided to enjoy our stay. Golf cart was great for such a large family for those not able to walk to the beach. Pool area was great for those that did want to go to the beach. Overall great stay!

Couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Having the two houses gave us so much more room and allowed members of the group who needed a bit of a break a place to relax in some quiet. There were 16 of us ranging in age from 5-75 and we had the best time. Aubrey is an outstanding host - I don’t think we ever waited more than 3 minutes to get a response to any of our texts. We highly recommend this rental and can’t wait to return!

Great property with plenty of rooms and bathrooms for a large group. Swimming pool was a big hit with kids as well as the adults. Just a short walk to the beach, if you didn’t want to ride in the golf cart. Overall great property with easy contact and quick replies to any questions from property manager .

We had an AMAZING time at “Diamonds In the Sand”!!! The house and the cottage are beautiful and cozy! So many amenities and comforts of home!! We ALL slept so good on the comfortable beds!! The details of each bedroom made us all feel like we were royalty! The house and cottage were immaculate… not a speck of sand or bugs!!! The pool was sparkling clean and perfectly refreshing! Not too cold and not too hot!! There is a grill outside and plenty of seating in the beautiful backyard… even a picnic table for family dining . The chaise lounge chairs are great too! We had a blast with the golf cart that is included… fully charged and ready to go! Only minutes to the most gorgeous beach and stunning Emerald ocean! Our experience here was a dream come true with the best host! Thank you!!!

We stayed here the dreaded first week of April when 40% of the Midwest invades the gulf coast. There were ten of us, six parents and four high school seniors from Michigan. The location was excellent, close to the beach and restaurants but set back enough from both main drags to be nice and quiet when you wanted it to be. We spent a ton of time using the patio and pool area. Plenty of seating, lots of sun, but also some shady areas when our pale winter skin needed a break. We put the teenagers in the unit closest to the street, I believe this is called the cottage. More than enough space for them and since the location is so close to the beach (an easy two blocks) they would head off on their own most days. The parents were in the newer unit, all three couples had a bedroom / en-suite, plenty of space, comfortable furnishings, and a well stocked kitchen. We cooked dinner at the property 3 or 4 times. There’s a really nice Coleman grill on the patio by the pool, we grilled up some fresh fish we caught in the gulf. Delicious! The hosts were fantastic communicators during check in /out. Perhaps the best compliment you can give a host is that you didn’t have to contact them at all! Everything was great. I have no doubt that if there had been an issue they would have taken care of it immediately. Thank you Brie and Aubrey for sharing your beautiful homes with us! If I’m back in Destin with a group again you’ll be my first call. Cheers!

We loved this property. The pool was great. Had to pay extra for heated pool. We were okay with it. Aubrey and Brie were great to work with. We had a problem with the golf cart, but someone was sent out immediately to fix it. Will definitely stay here again. Location is great. Walking distance to beach and stores.

Even though the weather was chilly, we loved our visit. The houses were nice and the heated pool was a life saver!

Place was perfect for our group. The separate houses worked great. Pool area was a great gathering location for the whole group to hang out. Close to beach and shops. Definitely would stay here again.

This was the best stay ever. It worked out for our family to have the added cottage. We used the cottage for the older ones in our group. Everything they needed was all on one level and they were able to retire to the quite when they were ready. We had family from age 8 to the 80’s. The heated pool was also awesome. We had a few days that were a bit chilly but was still great poolside.

Overall this property was amazing! The pool area was by far our favorite part! And this location is where we always try to stay.

We all enjoyed our stay. The heated pool came was perfect when the temperature dropped. We got alot of use out of the golf cart and the two house set up was perfect for our group.

This rental was very nice, very comfortable beds, very nice bathrooms, kitchen stocked with all needs and the outside area/pool is where we spent most of our time. I highly recommend this rental.

Our family enjoyed the rentals and would recommend this location to anyone visiting Destin. The owners were very friendly and easy to communicate with during our visit.

Thank you

Communication from check in, to our stay, to check out was amazing! The pool & golf cart were a great addition to our stay!!! The houses were clean & ready for us.

This property and the management team were awesome! No hassle helpful suggestions on dining, things to do! The houses were amazing close to the beach! After a day on the beach you come back and chill at the pool! Will definitely rent again!

We would 100% stay here again! It was so close to everything & it fit our family just perfect! The proximity is so close to the beach & shopping...you could not ask for anything more!! The set up with the pool & golfcart makes this a HOMERUN!!!

Our family enjoyed staying at Crystal Beach so much. It was very clean and a very short walk (2blocks) to the beach. The kitchen was stocked so well. It had everything we needed. Aubrey, the owner was a phone call away for any problems. We will definitely return again!

Diamonds in the sand was perfect for our family of 14. The house is a 5 minute walk to the closest beach access, but you can also take the six person golf cart. Our family loved the outdoor area with enough lounge chairs, a grill and a large pool. If you need anything, Brie is always just a phone call or text away. Thank you for hosting us, we will definitely be back!

This property was exactly as advertised and was awesome with the 2 homes and private pool for our large group! You will not find a nicer more attentive host! The whole process was super easy!

This property was everything my family could ever want and need! Excellent location and private pool was a huge plus. The golf cart was a very nice bonus. We made lots of memories!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house and cottage. We had 11 adults and 3 children. I liked how each bedroom had a master bath. The house had everything we needed for cooking. The beach is 2 blocks away. There is lots to do in the area. I would suggest if you stay mid April to make sure you heat the pool. Best decision I made.

Renting the property was easy and communications with questions were answered promptly.

This is a wonderful property for larger groups (15-20)! Everything was perfect and in great shape. You'll find everything you need here and the owners are super to deal with. Make a vacation great by staying here!!!

What amazing hosts! I booked this property about 7 months ago and they communicated all along the way. Extremely helpful for us during our stay if we needed anything. :) The property itself is beautiful…just a short walk to the beach and a quaint cafe. I really enjoyed the walking trails along Hwy 98. Can’t say enough nice things about this place and the hosts.

We stayed here for a staycation with a group of friends and the property did not disappoint. The weather wasn't great over the weekend but it did not stop the kids from spending almost every waking moment in the heated pool. Both properties were extremely clean and better than advertised. We had an internet issue upon arrival (network issues not home equipment issues). Aubrey was a great host and was quick to respond to help navigate through the issues. We all loved our stay and would definitely book this property again!!

Our family enjoyed the houses and pool.

The property was great and centrally located. We had the grocery store deliver food and drinks to the house and it was easy and quick to get ubers and get to the marina and to bars
