The access code and additional restrictions will be sent before arrival. It is very important that we get a good email address from you after booking.

STARTER KIT
⭐ Our property has a "Starter Kit" to get you through your first 24-48 hours. This includes two kitchen trash can liners, two dishwashing packets, mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels. We supply bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels. We do not provide beach towels, laundry detergent, seasonings/spices, zip locks, or liquid dishwashing detergent. You can pick up your favorite items at the nearby Walmart, Target, Publix, or Winn-Dixie.

Wi-Fi
⭐ Our property offers free Wi-Fi, and the details can be found in the property binder located in the kitchen/living room area or in the digital property guidebook. While we strive to provide a reliable connection, please note that Wi-Fi signal strength may vary, especially during peak season due to high demand in the area. If you require high-speed internet, we recommend bringing a personal hotspot device. Please remember to bring your streaming service passwords and log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ A maximum of 2 vehicles is permitted (strictly enforced). Parking passes will be provided inside the unit, conveniently located next to the property binder on the counter. Please note that the resort has a strict policy and cannot accommodate more than 2 vehicles per reservation.

BEACH SERVICE
⭐ To reserve your complimentary beach chairs and umbrella, please check in with the beach attendant each day. This service is available during peak season, March through October. Please note that private umbrellas, tents, tarps, canopies, or cabanas are not permitted on the beach. However, private chairs may be set up behind the rental umbrella row.

POOL
⭐ There is one pool, which is heated seasonally. Please review and follow the safety guidelines posted near the pool area. Use of this amenity is at your own risk. For additional details, refer to the posted rules.

GRILL
⭐ Grills are not permitted on the balcony. However, the resort offers two designated grilling stations conveniently located on either side of the boardwalk, near the beachside of the building.

PETS
⭐ Absolutely NO PETS. Due to the HOA regulations and the health and severe allergies of the host, we cannot accept animals of any kind in this unit. If you bring a pet of any kind, you will be charged an additional $500 per pet and be asked to leave.

BOOKING
⭐ You must be 25+ to book

No events or parties are allowed.

CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT
⭐ Check-in any time after 4 pm CST. Check-out is any time before 10 am CST.

EARLY ARRIVALS
⭐ We would love to accommodate early arrivals. However, it is nearly impossible during the busy season due to increased traffic delays and a limited workforce. Therefore, if you have an early flight, please plan to book an extra day so that you may check in before 4 pm. If that isn't an option, one of our favorite public beaches is Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach. It offers large bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a beachside restaurant. Our PCB properties have many options for public beach access, but our favorite would be Public Beach Access 54-57, right in front of Pier Park! Since we are always on a tight schedule, we ask that all guests depart promptly at 10 am CST.

KITCHEN
⭐ Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, glasses, mugs, plates, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, and fire extinguisher located under the sink.

TRASH
⭐ All garbage must be bagged and taken to the dumpster that is located at the end of the parking lot.

⭐ Absolutely NO refunds or discounts due to weather, natural disasters, or any other situations beyond our control.

Lastly, HAVE FUN at the beach, but please beware of rip currents, and understand the beach flags!

Super clean, convenient

I took my mom and daughter to the beach and to shop! Everything was so clean and convenient. The best part was not having to haul chairs and a tent to the beach. Property was right on the beach, so my mom could sit on the balcony instead of going to the beach all of the time. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Vacay

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was great! We had everything we needed. We loved the size and location of the condo. Our only complaint is that the balcony windows had no curtains. We did have to use the pull out couch, so curtains would have been nice in the mornings. Overall we had a fantastic experience.

Great location

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at Crystal Sands. Loved the location and short walk to the beach. The unit was immaculate except for the bed. It was so uncomfortable that my husband ended up sleeping in hall bunk the last two nights. Everything else was top of the line. I recommend getting a new mattress for your guests.

July Beach Trip 2024

This is a very nice property. We love this location. We have stayed here before in a different condo. We like the three-story smaller place with less people verses a big high rise. Our only complaints compared to the other one we have stayed in here were no curtains or blinds on the windows in living room for those sleeping on pull out couch. Very uncomfortable pull-out couch where you can feel springs. We bought a mattress topper & left it. The other condo we had stayed in provided much more basic things like salt & pepper, etc. All in all, a great trip!

FOREVER VACATION RENTALS
Shannon and I moved from St. Louis, MO to Destin, FL in the Summer of 2011. I have over 15 years in the Property Management field including Vacation Rentals, Multi-Family, and Senior Living. I am also a Realtor with The Beach Group Properties. Shannon is our ā€œgo to guyā€ and always goes above and beyond. He handles the majority of operations which includes Inspecting and Scheduling Turns, Owners Statements, Accounting, and helps to oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands on. Not only are we available to our Homeowner's at all times, we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley (15 y/o) and Jax (5 y/o). Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We support our local animal shelters and rescues. We are thankful for our cat (Mariposa) and our dogs (Rocky and Jubilee). We look forward to our Friday night movies at home with our children, fishing (although we aren't any good at it – haha), church, and of course, Sunday football.

In the Spring of 2016, we expanded our business by hiring Debbie. She is my amazing mom! When it came time to hire someone, it only made sense to bring her on board! You honestly can't find a more caring, loyal and trustworthy person! Debbie handles all of our reservations and during the summer months, she helps with our inspections. If you ever want to hear a friendly voice and just be uplifted, give her a call!

We can't forget about the rest of our team! EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on our team is important to our success. Our goal is to hire folks with passion, enthusiasm and a motivation to win! We want them to know that no detail is too small, and a happy guest is a repeat guest! There is nothing more rewarding than to receive a compliment about how genuine and hardworking we are! Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!

We are proud to say, we are ā€œsmall by choiceā€.
