not accurate

The biggest issue was the listing indicating that this was a large condo. The main living space is actually tiny and there is not near enough seating. The mirrors on the walls make it look much bigger than it actually is.. The balcony is only large enough to hold 3, maybe four people sitting close.

Lovely beach vacation spot.

Very Nice Rental. Spacious bedrooms, Fully stocked kitchen. We were three families and enjoyed our vacation. Wish we would have had access to the bathrooms by the pool for convenience. We didn’t receive codes. I called and spoke to real joy customer service but never got a return call. Overall great experience.

Overall we enjoyed our visit in the room with two double beds. One of the mattresses needs replaced. Same room the outlets didn’t work on one wall. In the master bedroom we stripped beds before we left and there was what looked like a bloodstain on mattress pad The kitchen was great stocked with great pots and pans and dishes.wd would definitely stay again loved the area

Perfect vacay as always!

30th year coming to Destin & Always Amazing clear warm water and white sugar sand. This property was great with the 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms. Everyone had their own. Kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. With other properties in the past we would have to bring our own pans/knives/glassware.

December destination wedding stay

We had a wonderful stay in this condominium. Although the wedding was at The Henderson, the walk there was reasonable. Several of my siblings traveled down and the bed configuration worked well for our family. We love Crystal Beach and will definitely keep this property in mind for future rentals.

Great stay

The 505 is a very clean condo with a great view. A bathroom for each bedroom was perfect, the washer and dryer are so nice that we ended up purchasing the same one for our house! The pool was under maintenance so it was closed for our whole stay, though that wasn't a problem for us, but I could see where that would be an issue for others. After multiple calls and attempts we never did get the free umbrella and two beach chairs. Real Joy was a pleasure to work with, but it seems like there were communication issues between the owner and the beach rental place. Overall I would stay at the 505 again, it is a very nice, clean and spacious condo.

The condo was lovely and fairly convenient to many shopping areas, which were a short drive away. The beach was beautiful. We were not informed that the pool would be closed, which was a disappointment for the kids.

Amazing property located at the beach. Beach service available on private beach. Rooms are big and very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies, but you will have to buy everyday supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags etc. Overall I would recommend.

Beautiful Condo!!

I loved this place, everything was great! No issues with it at all. The only complaint is the neighbor from the condo below, it seems an old couple that was annoyed to hear kids playing... but overall the service at the condo was more than perfect!!
