Great place to stay
This was our first trip to Destin, Fl and we hit the jackpot for staying there. We were only a couple minute walk from the beach, right off the 5 mile walk/bike path and walking distance to everything we needed plus a lot more. It was a quiet beautiful little neighborhood. Pool was great and met others who were staying in the other cottages that were loving the area too. Totally recommend this area to stay

Sehr schöner Kurzurlaub
Wir haben 3 Nächte in dem Appartment übernachtet. Für 2 Personen ist es absolut ausreichend. Die Küche ist ein wenig eng und es gab für die Kaffeemaschine und den Toaster keinen richtigen Platz bzw. Steckdose. Es ließ sich aber alles händeln.

Last minute.
The property was perfect for what we were looking for. Cottage was small but We were only staying for a few days our intent was to be on the beach not in the room so it worked well for us.

Excellent location, cozy cottage
We were very happy with the check in process, parking, location to beach access, and the pool & laundry room available for use. The cottage is very cozy and our family of four was fairly comfortable. The kitchen area is *very* small and it was rather difficult to cook family meals in the space, and the pots/pans were a nightmare to use but only because I don’t l know how to cook on stainless steel, I’ll admit that. Small negatives that didn’t impact our stay but should be noted: The fridge was missing the shelving on the door, one dryer was not drying and only 2 rolls of toilet paper for a family of four staying for 5 days is wild. Positives: the decor is super cute, towels and bedding are very nice and not cheap quality, and the a/c works beautifully. We would definitely return and recommend this place. Host was responsive and very friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay in this unit.

This was a great trip and a great location. This place is very small…even for my little family of 3. But the location was great, it was clean and the manager communicated very quickly!

It was pretty good.
We never could get the TV to work. Good thing there was a DVD player and we brought a couple of our toddler’s favorite dvd’s. Before you leave you have to strip your bed and bring all your towels and wash clothes down to the laundry room. It’s a pretty good walk to a beach which was barracuda beach. It was actually a private beach but after 5pm there’s no one there to enforce it. Other than that we drove to pompano Joe’s public access beach like 2.5 miles away. You’re RIGHT up your neighbors butts there so no privacy on the balcony at all and if the bathroom door and your shades are open and the neighbors blinds are open, they could see right into the shower. All in all, this room worked for us and served it’s purpose but for the price you could find a condo right on the beach.

Cozy beach property
Very comfortable and clean. Everything we needed for a week of rest and relaxation. Convenient to the grocery stores and shopping. Plenty of restaurants, sit down and take-out. So close to the beach, a short walk, to take in the sunsets and sunrises or to spend the day in the sand.

Nice Stay
The condo was very nice and clean but the balcony door did not work properly and was extremely difficult to open/close. Also there needs to be a full length mirror for dressing. Crystal Beach area is beautiful and quiet. Short walk to the beach was no trouble at all.
