Crystal Sands 308B -

Paradise dreams are made of white sands, jewel-toned waves, and ocean breezes. When searching for the perfect beach vacation rental, look no further than Crystal Sands. This beachfront condo complex sits perched upon the iconic sugary, crystal sands of the Emerald Coast. Crystal Sands 308B is situated on the top level of one of the complex’s buildings. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and can host up to eight guests.

Like many condos in the area, this rental uses an open concept floorplan to create a large great room that encompasses the living, kitchen, and dining areas. The contemporary living room is comprised of a gray couch, two accent chairs, a coffee table, and a TV for entertainment. Two sets of sliding glass doors open out onto a Gulf-front balcony, where chairs are provided for guests to enjoy the spectacular views. Indoors, the dining area features a vintage bare bulb chandelier, under which sits a dining table surrounded by four chairs and a wooden bench. Two stools are provided for additional seating at the adjacent kitchen bar. The open kitchen boasts stainless-steel appliances, ample cabinet space and shelving, and a granite-topped bar that may be used to serve up appetizers and tropical drinks.

The master suite includes a king-size bed, wall-mounted TV, and access to a full hall bath. The guest room in the sleeping loft also features a king-size bed and TV. This room shares access to a full hall bath with an adjacent bunkroom, which has two twin bunks and a TV.

A stay at Crystal Sands guarantees a great vacation. In addition to great living and sleeping space, this condo has a private swimming pool, Gulf-side grills, and a collection of tables and chairs.

Loved the condo. Great place to stay! If you use the pool might want to stay somewhere else it’s in the parking lot and doesn’t get much sun. We are beach people so wasn’t a problem for us.

Amazing stay

This unit is my favorite one to stay at. Everything is clean and just like the pictures in the listing. They give plenty of towels and there’s plenty of space for everyone. Would definitely visit this unit again. Private beach with beach service, pool and keyless entry. The best beach vacation spot there is.

Sweet cozy condo. Everything you want in a vacation property. The beach was fantastic and right out the back of the property, only a few short steps away. This condo is in a great location too. We rented a golf cart and had easy access to several restaurants and lots of shopping. We were sad to leave!

Excellent property and location!

Super clean and plenty spacious (we had half our group cancel so we ended up in accomodations meant for at least 6 people and it was just my 12 year old, husband and myself! Super relaxing, neat setup for kids to have seperate space, clean and great decor! Pool area wasnt to my liking, but we were beach side anyway. So nbd. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

amazing condo can improve cleaning company

The condo it's amazing, great location and there is room for everyone. Love the decor. 2 details: -needs a better fan or a/c on the crew quarters (room with bunk beds) really hot - need to find a better cleaning service: oven was dirty, coffee maker was not cleaned (had left over coffee ) and there where combs under the table also, if you can add a swifter or a better broom will be great so we can clean better. We had an amazing time, enjoyed our stayed very much. We will highly recommended.

Wonderful except for construction in adjacent condo.

The location and condo were perfect. Very clean. Beautiful decor. Amazing views. Our stay was disappointing in that we were awakened a little after 8am every day except Sunday by the noise hammering and power tools coming from the condo next door. This continued all day. There was no sleeping in or peacefully lounging around the condo during the day.

Updated Beach Property

The condo was lovely and accommodating. We had everything we needed. Our young kids even locked themselves out of a bathroom on the first day and the maintenence were there to unlock it super quick. The only small issue we had was while the condo was very clean, there was quite a bit of dust on the fans, tv, and places like that. I did wipe some of them down and carried on with our week. It wasnt a deal breaker where I wouldnt recommend the property. We also really appreciated the early entry on our arrival day so we coukd go ahead and get groceries on our way in.

Fall vacation

Beautiful place to stay at a good price. The condo is right on the beach and has a great view from your balcony of the beach/ocean. My mom really enjoyed watching the ocean from there in the mornings. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would need. The bunk room for the kids was awesome. Thanks for including fans for the bunk room. We definitely used them. They even had tvs and DVD players in each bedroom which we appreciated being on vacation we like to watch movies late at night :). They also had games and some dvds on property along with some books. I thought these were nice extras :that make the condo even better : ) Great family vacation spot.

Wonderful 2 Bedroom on the beach!

I can not say enough good things about this unit. We enjoyed a week during spring breake at this condo. Everything was as pictured or better! One of the draw backs on many units is the furniture. Not in this condo! All of the furniture was extremly comfortable and there was plent of seating. We only had four adults and two kids but could easily fit more. The kids loved having there own bunk room with TV. I would note that the TV is set up to stream Netflix, Disney Pluse etc. This was nice for the kids to be able to watch all of there shows. Another big benefit of this unit is it features two King size beds. Many units similar I've found has one queen and one king. I also want to shout out Ocean Reef who manages this property. I can not say enough good things about them. The unit was super clean and well stocked with towels. A lot of the times we go on vacation to Destin and get four of five towels in the unit. They made sure there was plenty of towels for everyone. Ocean Reef also has a really nice app they give you access to with all of the information you need and a phone number to call anytime.

Not what we expected

The owner has a good vision but the management company has neglected upkeep. It hadn't been touched by housekeeping when we arrived at 4pm. It appeared to have not been cleaned well in a while. The glass table top in the living room had been broken and duck taped back together. Not something that I want to see when I first walk in. There were other issues and all of them have been reported and hopefully taken care of so other renters can arrive and enjoy the property right away. The washing machine lid has to be shut hard in order to start the cycle. We thought it was out of order until a tech arrived and said it is a problem that each renter faces. Personal beach umbrellas are not allowed on this property, If you need more than the complementary set, you have to rent them for $30 a day for umbrellas or $60 a day for chairs and unbrellas. We didn't know this until 6 of our 8 guests set up and were told to move down to the public beach area. The paperwork we received didn't specify "no personal umbrellas," only talked about tents and canopies. We were able to have them last year but the HOA apparently changed the rule last July. There are some positives. The decor is very nice, the bedding and seating are comfortable. The bunk room was great, the beach is right in front, location to everything is perfect.

Just like in the picture!!!

We came to Destin to visit our Airman son for the long weekend! The condo could not have been better. Squeaky clean, beautifully furnished., very nice kitchen that was well equipped. The beds were comfy. We didn't have any littles so the bunk room was not used but when my guys were younger that would have been a huge hit. make sure you bring your favorite gaming system along for relaxing after the beach! Great spot all around. We'd love to be able to come back!

Updated and clean with great view

Would definitely go back here. There are not many places that are exactly like they are portrayed online but I am pleased to say that this place was. Fully updated with all new amenities, spotless and directly on the beach. My only wish was that the pool area was slightly larger and on the other side of the building, but that has nothing to do with the room. Overall 5 out of 5 stars.
