This is an amazing place to stay. We had 18 people there and it never felt crowded. It was so close to the beach that everyone just walked there. I would definitely stay there again!

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.

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!

We had a great time with our children and our grandchildren ages 4 to 25. It was only a 3 minute walk to the beach and they had so much fun in the water and white sand. Loved every minute making memories with them all!!

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.

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.

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.

Family Vacation
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.

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!

My family had an amazing stay at this property. This is our annual Destin trip and this house was perfect. The size of the house and location was perfect. The property is a short walking distance from the beach and close to Whole Foods, Publix, fast foods and great restaurants.

The house is beautiful and very close to the beach. My sister who is on crutches was able to walk there without any difficulty. The pool is perfect, we spent a lot of time there. We are a cooking family and there were plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. We had a great stay!

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!

Great place (but inflexible mgmt)
This is a well located, clean, thoughtfully/tastefully furnished property that is as-advertised. Everyone in my group enjoyed themselves, and most expressed interest in returning.
The only thing that left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths is that after half our party backed out over Covid concerns, the property managers stuck firmly to their policy of no (partial) refunds, including declining to rebook us at one of their smaller properties despite 10 business days' notice. (i.e. one week post-booking) Now I certainly understand their perspective, and can't begrudge anyone getting their coins... but I also cannot give a 5-star review as we were left feeling more like just another reservation number than valued humans/customers.

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!
