About this property

Crystal Beach - Ocean View - Steps From Beach - 2nd Floor End Unit

Our little Tropical Vacation Paradise!

Combining the whitest beaches of Florida with the bright, exotic Emerald Green waters of the Caribbean...all within steps of our condo. Greet the sunrise with an early morning walk, or a fresh juice and bagel from Camille's right next door. Enjoy your evening coffee or happy hour on the private balcony!

The condo itself is located in the Caribbean Dunes complex, which is situated in the family oriented Crystal Beach, a beautiful area of Destin. If you look on a map, you will see the area sits between the main area of Destin and Miramar Beach.

The neighborhood is very quaint, with cottage-style homes, and no high-rises. Our complex has a large swimming pool, hot tub and several barbecue grills available for our guests since outdoor grilling isn't allowed on the balconies due to fire codes.

We are lucky to have one of the best views on our complex - A beautiful straight-on view of the Gulf from the balcony, and living area. We are on the 2nd floor, end/corner unit, with beach access 100 yards away from the door. No need to pack the car up to then battle the traffic and parking at the beach.

We are non-smoking, and comes comfortably furnished, and have a well equipped kitchen that includes all of your major appliances and necessities you might need, in addition to a washer/dryer combo located right in the unit. The living room and bedroom have flat screen TV's.
The unit can sleep a family of 4 comfortably, with a queen sized bed in the master bedroom, and 2 bunk beds in the hallway. Bed linens, kitchen and bathroom towels are provided, but beach towels are not.

**Our condo association via Caribbean Dunes has implemented a complete NO smoking policy, which now even includes our individual outdoor patio's. This unfortunately also includes cigars.

Located adjacent during the summer months is a great local spot that rents out bicycles, kayak's and paddle boards. And just one mile away is Destin Commons, a host to many shopping stores, movie's, family dining, and grocery shopping. Silver Sands Premium Outlets in Miramar is a little down the road, great stores also!

For fun family activities, the Big Kahuna’s Water and Adventure Park, the Track and other mini golf courses are also close by. The popular Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin is also fun for the family. There are so many options to choose from.

We love our little taste of paradise, and hope to share it with you too!

Never staying anywhere else in Destin!!

This was our second time staying here and at this point, my family and I do not want to stay anywhere else when visiting Destin. Anything you could want or ask for in terms of amenities, they have covered. The location is perfect! Communication was exceptional as always!! I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Martina Casparius

Host profile image
The condo is operated by myself and my daughter. I reside in Maine and my daughter (who is originally from Maine as well) lives in the Mobile, Alabama area. As I had begun to plan for retirement, I came across this unit for sale in the fall of 2014, and the timing was perfect.

Why they chose this property

Originally on the lookout for a retirement retreat in Naples, I fell in love with Crystal Beach/Destin area on my very 1st visit. I was planning a vacation to see my daughter in Mobile Alabama, and she told me part of our time would be spent in Destin Florida. She raved about the beautiful 'Caribbean-Like' water, and how much I would love the simplicity and tranquility of Crystal Beach. Needless to say, I didn't want to leave once I got there! I ended up extending my vacation, and then came across my own, perfect little tropical paradise for sale at Caribbean Dunes. The rest is history. I hope to be able to share this tropical oasis with many! Thanks for looking! Martina
