"FANTASTIC. I stayed with my husband and my three-year-old. It was perfect. I recommend it.
First, the apartment is clean and comfortable. Across the street is a swimming pool. It has a cozy patio. It has everything you will need. The beds are good too. Then, from the reviews, I thought we would be needing extra toilet paper, paper towels, pods, trash bags... We stayed six days and we never had to use any of the stuff we brought with us.
Moreover, the location is amazing. There is a restaurant around the corner, Camille. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is so delicious and convenient! You can stay there or just take out. The beach is right across the street. If you walk some blocks, there are a lot of stores and the shopping center, Destin Commons. We only had to use our car one time for some groceries. Then we walked everywhere. It was great.
We have been to Destin several times, and this is (quality + location + price) the best place we have stayed so far."

The ground floor was wonderful with the patio. We only had to walk across the road to the pool and across the street to the beach! Everything was very close and convenient: stores, restaurants, drug store, gas station. We look forward to coming back again!

The weather was not in our favor so we were only able to enjoy a day of swim in the pool but it was well worth it. The place is very well maintained clean and has working appliances, the only drawback we faced was cleaning supplies. We like to clean ourselves and surroundings especially when we have kids but we couldn’t find anything to clean the tables or counters. It would be nice if they provide cleaning supplies along with basic kitchen stuff like salt pepper. Overall we really liked this place and would love to visit again."

PROS
- 5 minutes walking to the beach
- Crystal beach is indeed crystal
- swimming pool is clean and just across the street
- bath towels and bed sheets seem new
- mattresses are firm and confortable
- pillows are clean
- kitchen seems to have been recently remodeled
- bathroom also seems to have been remodeled
- convenient washer and dryer
- 2 minutes to Camille’s cafe
- wifi worked perfectly
- kitchen is well stocked with lots of plates and silverware.
CONS (probably owner can’t do much about it…)
- AC can be noisy for a light sleeper who sleeps on the bunk beds in the hallway to the living room
SUGGESTIONS TO OWNER and PROSPECTIVE RENTERS
- The check-in through RealJoy website/portal did not work. You are supposed to enter the reservation number (hard to find it…) and your email. Tried multiple times and ended up calling RealJoy. After waiting 10 minutes on the phone, I got the instructions.
- The padlock on the balcony was not working.
- Both TVs (living and bedroom) were not smart so I could not watch netflix, Hulu, etc. Consider replacing TVs with the smart type or purchasing a firestick.
- Storage area is limited. For those sleeping in the bunk beds, there is no closet. Plenty of space in the bedroom though.
- Could provide some basic cleaning products for renter to clean bathroom, kitchen and to mop the floor. This is not expensive but it would be convenient to have it handy. Some people (like me) are obsessive with cleaning and I could have kept the apartment cleaner if cleaning products had been provided.
- ensure floor is mopped prior to every rental. When we arrived, I had to sweep the floor (pretty dirty) but I did not mop. After walking few steps barefoot, my feet’s soles were black. Bathroom was not clean. Bathtub needs a good clorox cleaning so one can use it
- They have 4 beach chairs but no beach umbrella. During summer, it’s impossible to enjoy beach without umbrellas. Owner can provide one or renter needs to bring it.
- There is no recyling. There is only one dumpster for trash.
SUMMARY: I loved the stay and will most likely book the same unit for years to come! (Just need a better cleaning crew).
I highly recommend it."

"This place was amazing! It was our first time to the beach anywhere and this place was perfect! We had a 4 yr old and a 10yr old with two adults it was perfect space and a quick walk to the beach. I was nervous at first because i didnt want anywhere to far from the beach but this was a perfect spot. It was a maybe 2 to 3 min walk maybe and the beach access was nice and not to crowded with public bathroom and washoff stations which was nice. The pool and hot tub was across the street. It was never crowded. The condo was very clean on arrival. And they provided dishes, cups, utensils. Just dont forget to bring extra trashbags and toliet paper. We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay again. It was on ground floor so nonclimbing steps or anything like that which was great! It was also close to everything, food, shopping, and arcades!"

Within an hour of arriving all 5 of my family members feet were black from the floor not being cleaned properly. I tried to do an online request and after typing everything up it wouldn't submit it. The back door code box wasn't working but they came out the next morning and replaced the batteries. Overall we were satisfied and would stay again."

"Upscale ground floor retreat with keyless entry and washer/dryer - For several years we have chosen units in the Caribbean Dunes (CD) complex in the Crystal Beach area of Destin. It's only a block off the main street and the mid-bay bridge entrance, avoiding downtown Destin traffic. The white sands and emerald waters are just across the scenic highway and Henderson State park is also a block away with less crowded beach areas.
This unit, like most in this complex, has keyless entry and we were provided the code in advance – no need to stop by an office to check in or pick up keys. We just head straight to the beach. Or the complex’s pool and hot tub. We also make a trip to the grocery store just 2 blocks away.
These units always have a kitchen fully stocked with cooking items and small appliances, so it’s easy to cook meals on-site and avoid the restaurant traffic if desired. And in #120 there was also keyless entry to the patio door for a quicker walk to the pool and beach. There is also a washer/dryer built into the hallway.
These units are over 20 years old, so there are little things here and there that come with age, but we love this complex. If we can't find a Caribbean Dunes unit on VRBO we go through a property management company to get one here. Have even considered buying here. The rental prices seem to be the same no matter how you find your unit - choose Caribbean Dunes - it's perfect!

"Great condo, close to everything! - My husband and I rented this condo for our 11-year anniversary. We had the BEST time! The hot tub and pool were just steps away and parking was a breeze. The condo was furnished and decorated beautifully and we found it very relaxing. Miller's Ale House, one of our favorite haunts, was within walking distance. Also, if you like shopping, Destin Commons was just across the Emerald Coast Highway. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for some relaxation!"
