You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Crystal Sands Condo, Directly on the Beach

Crystal Sands, an intimate, three-story, quiet property. These two gulf-front, low-rise condominium buildings are located in Destin's Crystal Beach area. The unit that faces the dazzling, white, sand beaches views directly on the Gulf of Mexico.

Spacious and private, decorated with comfort in mind. The condominium buildings are located near the heart of Destin. You will find lots to do both day and night. Crystal Sands is one of the special places that you want to keep to yourself yet can't stop to talk about.

You deserve the best and the best is Crystal Sands on the beach. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself like a king or a queen, lay down on the beach and just be lazy. Come to the sugar, white beaches of the Emerald coast. Look out on the beautiful sun, surf, and sand not the parking lot or street. Listen to the waves not the passing traffic.

Have breakfast on the balcony with only the sugar, white sand between you and the blue waters of Mexico. Sun and stroll on the beach or grab a wave runner and see how high you can fly.

Crystal Sands is less than a mile from the famous designer's outlet mall, Silver Sands outlet mall. Do not forget about shopping there!

My unit is on the second floor of the new building, east side establishment, building B. The unit has a master bedroom which has a king-size bed. There are two bunk beds in the hallways. The living room has a queen-size sleeper sofa.

Crystal Sands is located away from the congestion of downtown Destin yet only minutes away from all the day and evening attraction.

4.5 hours late with our room but no refund
Our check in was at 4:00. The owner called about 4:30-5:00 (we were stuck in traffic) to tell us the room hadn't been cleaned and he was looking for someone to do it. We got in the room at 8:30. Also one of the sheets was DIRTY. Not stained! Dirty! I washed it and the "stain" came out! So how much did the cleaning guy actually do??? After speaking to the owner asking for a partial refund for the day, he said VRBO has rules and he'd have to ask them. I spoke to VRBO, and they told me refunds were solely at his discretion. I asked nicely MANY times, but he stopped replying to me. We love Crystal Sands and have stayed in several rooms in both units. This one was by far the least renovated but cost as much as the others. I could have lived with the lack of updates, but we got 3 1/2 hours on Saturday night and paid full price for that day. We will NOT be back there, and I would HIGHLY discourage others from going. The reply will be interesting.

NASTY UNIT STAY AWAY!!!!!!
This unit was out dated to say the less nasty,dirty! We drove 12 hours to get here from Texas so it was late when we showed up. The floors were dirty and sandy the kitchen table legs were broke the coffe maker had old filter with coffee and mold that had turned brown so it had to have been left there for a long time! The freezer had rust. The sofa bed was so thin had rust and dirt on mattress. There was mold in the main bathroom around the tub shower curtain was full of mold. There was no mop or broom. When contacting the owner about this all he had to say was that the cleaning lady must have over looked some things and if she was in town she would stop by and change out shower curtain well that never happened!! Are you kidding me!!!!!!We ended up going to the store to buy a mop and broom along with cleaning supplies to get this place in order after telling the owner we would like some type of refund for all of this mess we had to do and go through when this was our vacation of course he dodged that all together! And we got locked out of our unit at one point went to the office they said they could not help us because that unit is not one that they serve 😱 They have a HOA on site we talked to them they tired calling the owner sent a email and no response so my husband said I will climb the balcony to get to our unit and this is what he did !!! So the code is so long that you either need to have a good memory or write it down or times So please read reviews on this property

We enjoyed our time in Destin. We will stay somewhere else. Walls are paper thin, you can hear every single word of conversations happening all around the property. Furniture was so dirty and quite a few items in the unit was falling apart.

Beyond disappointing
Upon arrival, the codes provided by owner were incorrect. Then we discovered the condo had not been cleaned. We have young kids and a 12 hour car ride. It was highly inconvenient not to have immediate access and it not be cleaned. We had to leave the unit for it to be cleaned which led us to discover we also had been provided with wrong codes to the gates to the ocean. (First time our kids saw the ocean, crying that we couldn’t get to the ocean because we didn’t have the right code) We had to communicate with the owner 4+ times within the first hour. Very very frustrating start to a vacation. Other concerns of the condition of the condo were that there appeared to be black mold in the air vents in the living room and bathroom. Musty smell. Owner responded in a defensive and rude manner. Other condos in Crystal Sands are beautiful and updated. We tried to have kids out of the condo as much as possible to limit exposure to whatever was coming out of the vents.

Needs some updates
First loved the location. Patio view outstanding. Weather didn’t cooperate to actually be on the beach. We won’t visit in February next time. Actually the best part of our stay was restaurants. they are on the expensive side but so worth it! Then there’s the residence. Hasn’t been updated in a while with multiple problems. Find a different Host if possible. All said LOVE Destin.

No Air Conditioner
Overall, the stay was marred by a broken air conditioner. The condo's temperature ranged from 78° at night to 82° during the day. (We had to buy a fan so we could sleep.) Otherwise, the condo could use some updates, e.g., streaming televisions. Was adequate, but disappointing.

Don't do it
The condo itself was ok. There was no air conditioning at all, however and the owner was terrible at communication. We spent 3 nights in an 80* condo and ended up leaving one day early just to sleep in a cool bed. This is not the condo you want to be in for vacation.

Love Crystal Sands! Unit we stayed in needs some general maintenance but overall very comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Not enough communication through VRBO. Probably won’t go through them again. Had no check in information when we arrived but was lucky to get with owner.

Great Location
This is on the beach, so from the balcony is an unobstructed view of the clear, blue water of Gulf and the white sugar sand beach. It takes about 1 minute to walk from the room to the beach. No streets to cross or parking space to find. Neighborhood is also great for walking. Sidewalks take you to beautiful homes in the area. Several shops and restaurants are easy to walk to at less than a mile away from condo. The furnishings inside condo are not 5 star, but this is at a much better price than the recently updated rooms at same location. A few inexpensive fixes to room would help tremendously.

Expected A Little More Bang For Your Buck
Other units in the building had complementary beach service included in the stay, the owner of this unit didn't. Had to pay for my own and they won't let you set up your own umbrella. The condo itself is not being taking care of properly. For instance, the ceiling fan is unbalanced and acks like it getting ready to fall out of the ceiling and all the AC receptacles are worn out and need to be replaced because my plugs kept falling out. Needless to say, I won't be staying here again and wont be using Vrbo again.
