Area Attractions: 

Whether you spend your day at the nearby Big Kahuna's Water Park, on the golf course, deep sea fishing, parasailing, or shopping at the terrific Destin Outlet Malls, there’s also a robust nightlife with nearby clubs, including Sundestin’s onsite bar and restaurant with great home-made food.

Close by is Destin Commons, a beautifully landscaped, pedestrian-friendly area and a great family venue where children will love to play in the interactive water fountains. Also, for the younger guests, a nautically/pirate-themed outdoor playground features a 1,750 square foot soft play area with various creatures from the sea, slides, and a treasure chest!  Destin Commons also has a mini-train for the kids. Destin Commons features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Godiva Chocolates, AMC Movie Theaters, and Bass Pro Shop.

If you are near Miramar Beach, the snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Dolphin Reef, deployed in 2017.  Located just 685 feet straight out from the Miramar Regional Public Beach Access (by Pompano Joe's), it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Dolphin Reef is at a depth of 12-20 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

The beach was awesome and so was the parking. Cleanliness of the condo was not good at all. There was mold in the shower on the walls and on the shower curtain. The shower did not drain, the sink drained very slow. The room smelled musty. The room looked like it was just not kept up very well. Was not pleased at all. The pool was very cold not heated at all.

Beachfront Condo

We wanted to be right on the beach so this location was perfect. There were a few issues but overall we enjoyed our stay. The unit and furnishings are outdated. The frame on the sliding, mirrored closet door was all rusty on the bottom & the carpet in the closet was dirty. The base trim in the hall, bedroom & main bathroom was dirty. The side of the vanity in the main bathroom is deteriorating. The property is managed by RealJoy Vacations. The gate code for access to the beach was not included in our check in instructions from RealJoy so we had to inquire about that. RealJoy notified us that a repair person was going to come to work on the dishwasher. I had received an email indicating that there were open dates between our rental dates and the next guest so I asked if the repairs could be done after we checked out. RealJoy notified us that the repairs had been re-scheduled for after we checked out. There was no kitchen stopper for the sink. We notified RealJoy about this & they delivered one. We were on the balcony and were startled when someone knocked on the sliding glass door. Two men had come in to clean the dryer vent. We were not notified of this. RealJoy did take steps to resolve some of the communication issues.

Awesome Condo for Vacations!

We have stayed in the Crystal Sands Condos for many years now and they are always neat, clean and comfortable. We tried a few others places, but we end up right back at these 3-Story Units right on the beach. Looking forward to the next time!

This rental was well stocked with basic kitchen and bath supplies. Very nice view, I did see dolphins from the balcony. It is a convent location for restaurants and shopping. I would definitely stay here again! PS…. If you like Gumbo, Kenny D’s is the bomb!
