"Great location - This villa was a perfect proximity to the beach, maybe about 10 steps away. We really enjoyed mornings and afternoons on the patio. 2 beach chairs and an umbrella was included and Zack the beach guy was great. Short walk to 2 really nice caffès and only a half mile from the main highway. Super close to the Destin Commons if you like shopping and close to the bowling alley."
Stayed November 2021
"Location - We have stayed at this property before, but this is the first time we have stayed on the ground floor. That being said, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! We were so close to the shoreline, it was fantastic! We loved it. It is an older property, but has been kept up pretty well. I highly recommend they fix the sliding glass doors, leading to the patio/beach. We inadvertently were locked out one chilly night. The property managers were very quick to rectify the situation. We definitely plan to return."
Stayed November 2021

"Beautiful property and location - We had a wonderful stay in Destin at this property. It was really nice to be right on the beach and really be able to relax. We stayed right in the middle of spring break, and while there were families staying near the property, it wasn't loud with a bunch of spring break parties. The property is very clean and the management company stayed in contact with us leading up to our arrival. The umbrella and chair fee is $30/day whether you use the equipment or not, but it seems that all of the properties in that area seem to do the same thing. Also, helicopter rides go up and down the beach every day, so that might be a factor, but it didn't bother us."
Stayed April 2021
"Spring break - Great location! Gorgeous beach!"
Stayed March 2021
"Superior view and easy beach access - If you want a beautiful view and the easiest beach access, this is your place! The property was clean and comfortable enough but could definitely use some updates. The door that separates the hall way bunks from the kitchen/ living area was a nice plus!"

"Great Gulf View! A few things that need a little TLC... - This Unit was conveniently located for beach and pool use. A few items that the owner needs to be aware of:
•Unit was not vacuumed prior to our arrival (debris was found on the floors and rugs, including two screws and a small piece of splintered lumber).
•No key to lock/unlock rear sliding door from beach-side.
•No coffee filters and/or basket for coffee machine.
•The interior door between the kitchen and hallway had knobs, but no latch hardware. It was impossible for the door to stay shut."

"Best Condo in Destin - I booked this condo for Memorial Weekend a few months back for my wife and I for a long weekend getaway. The description was exactly what we got. Walk out the patio and onto the beach. The beach is a private beach exclusive to just Crystal Villas. Clean unit, plenty of room for just us. Crystal Villas is also located on a great part of beach drive convenient to restaurants and shopping. The inclusion of the beach chairs/umbrella into the package was nice as they set it up where ever you wanted.
With the exception of the storm moving in and the water being pretty rough, the place itself was what we expected and will highly recommend it to people we know!"
Stayed August 2017
"The best trip ever! - The location of A3 was great! Just walk out the door and your feet are touching the white sand! I have stayed at Crystal Villas three times (different condos), and it seems to be my favorite place to stay. Wish I could stay forever! There were a few very minor things that needed a small repair, but the condo itself was great!"
Stayed August 2017
"The location of this place is great, can't be beat, ON the beach and very convenient with a small child. Our family enjoyed the condo very much and would return. Just noted minor inconveniences- beds not very comfortable, kitchen well equipped, but lacked a wine bottle opener. Also, there is no recycling in the building, so unfortunately everything goes in the trash, hopefully the owners can look into this. Despite this- we would return just because of the location of this property."
Stayed July 2017
"Absolutely loved waking up to beach view. Definitely will come back. - Great location"
Stayed July 2017
"This place was laid back, comfortable, and simple. Nothing fancy- just very easy going and has everything you may need included in unit 3A. The location is ideal! You have your own private area on the beach with 2 chairs included in your stay (amazing!) The patio is the reason we chose this unit- first floor with short, easy walk to the beach. The view is breath taking. I recommend if you are looking for an easy going, relaxing spot. "

"Perfect size, perfect location. Amazing vacation. - There was nothing we didn't like about this condo. Swimming pool right outside the front door, ocean out the back. No one was in the condo next to us so literally no one walked passed our condo!! Nice grassy area to put our blanket down and have a glass of wine.
Little things: Another adirondack chair would have been great, safety rail on the upper bunk, and a few pluses would have been a Keurig and some beach towels......"
Stayed July 2015
"Couldn't have asked for more!!! - My family and I couldn't have asked for more. This place was perfect for my family. The condo was very clean and cozy. My family of four had no problems living here for 5 days. The overall atmosphere of Crystal Villas was an amazing family atmosphere which is perfect when you are traveling with young kids. The most amazing part of this condo is the patio and the views. Not to mention that the walk may be 50ft. It was perfect. we could make it from the beach to get a drink and back in less than 5 min. Perfection! I could go on but I won't.
Thank you for renting us this condo. We definitely be back next year!!!"
