Great Stay
Our stay at Crystal Sands 312A was perfect in every way. The condo was exactly as represented, stocked with everything we needed and more. I cannot think of one negative. We loved the stunning views and easy access to the magnificent beach. Great value, and we appreciated Ocean Reef's guest portal and communications between booking and arrival.

Fall getaway
My wife and 7 year old daughter enjoyed our stay at this unit. We really loved the close access to the beach. We’ve stayed at bigger resorts and you always have to fight for the elevator. Great place!

Great condo. Great location.
Wonderful condo beautifully decorated and just steps from the beach. We liked the fact that there were 2 king size beds and the upstairs lift has a privacy door and sliding barn door, We had issues with the refrigerator upon arrival but the property manager brought in a replacement pretty quick. We will stay here again.

Wonderful Beach Condo
This condo is in a great location. The bedrooms are spacious with a bonus room for the kids upstairs. The loft area has sliding doors over the opening into the downstairs giving it privacy. The building is only three stories tall, so the beach isn't as crowded and much more relaxing. Fantastic condo, we will stay there again.

Very nice! Would stay again!
We loved this unit! Great location in the scenic part of town. Easy access with the elevator or stairs. The only recommendation I have for the manager is to add a full size mirror in the upstairs bedroom. Beds were comfy. Great view of the beach! We loved the balcony furniture also!

A few issues
I tried calling the owner but didn’t hear back. Wanted to let them know that the dishwasher didn’t work and the tile under the dishwasher was completely shattered. Also the door in the loft is off the hinge. Those three things we had no control of but we did break the 4 cup coffee pot which we will certainly pay for.

Anniversary celebration
My husband is usually a fan of Panama City Beach, but I finally got to show him the Beauty Destin has to offer. On a girls trip several years ago I tried to describe the room we stayed in at Crystal Sands but I don’t think he really understood how great it was. I have been trying to get him in a condo there for a while and they are always filled. He now knows how beautiful the condo and the beach truly are. We love this condo! Best anniversary yet!

Overall, the condo was nice and was quite clean. The beach service included was great too - just get down to claim your spot early on a daily basis. I will just warn future renters, if you do plan on using the extra bedroom upstairs with two twin beds, it is extremely warm. It’s as if the AC doesn’t run into the room directly. There is a fan in there but only circulates hot air. I would recommend the place get that checked, or allow the AC to be set cooler overall in the condo.
