Gulf front - Aug dates available: Kids in School = Your Quiet Beach Time!

Gulf Front Premium Condo Desirable End Unit w/Private Beach & beach service

High Quality, Gulf-front Condo, Desirable End Unit, Private Beach

Gulf-front, Gorgeous Updated End Unit, Private Beach w/free Beach Service

CONDO UPDATED 2024 with new floors, shower, quartz countertops.

Experience the tranquility of Crystal Villas, a small 27-unit complex located on the serene west end of Crystal Beach. With a private beach exclusively for residents and guests, you can enjoy the luxury of space and comfort without the crowds of high-rise buildings. As a bonus, we offer complimentary beach service from March to October, providing one umbrella and two chairs daily. Please note that tents are not permitted on the private beach.

Our condo is impeccably maintained and boasts exquisite designer touches. Recently, we spruced it up with brand new living room furniture, light fixtures, and a 50" smart TV. You'll also appreciate the convenient workstation area, which includes a charging station for your cell phones and tablets, so you can stay productive while soaking up the sun and ocean breeze. New PRIVATE Wi-Fi was installed in May of 2023 which is more reliable and secure than the shared Wi-Fi in other units. Who needs to work from home when you can work from the beach?

The condo is ideal for a family of five, offering a comfortable stay with a new king-sized bed with an extremely comfortable mattress (new 2022), a queen size sleeper sofa in the spacious great room, and bunk beds tucked into the hallway alcove for the kids. The well-equipped kitchen features all stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops (2024), a Keurig coffee maker, and a plentiful supply of designer pots & pans. In addition, a new Henckels knife set (caution extra sharp) and electric wine bottle opener are provided to ensure you have all the necessary amenities for preparing and enjoying a meal on the balcony, which offers breathtaking views of the Gulf.

The condo boasts two well-appointed bathrooms with a shared shower area (walk-in shower upgraded in 2024 - sorry, no tub), which also includes a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience. To help you get ready for the day, both bathrooms feature lighted magnifying makeup mirrors. We provide oversized luxury towels for indoor use, but we kindly request that you bring your own beach towels for outdoor activities.

As an end unit, our condo has extra square footage, providing an additional three feet in the kitchen, bathroom, and master bedroom. Windows on the side and an open-ended balcony to the west provide unobstructed views and a feeling of spaciousness that you won't find in other one-bedroom condos.

Conveniently located on the second floor, our condo offers privacy and views without the need to climb another flight of stairs.

Sorry, no elevator

Our location east of Henderson Beach State Park and within walking distance to restaurants and great shopping makes it an ideal base for exploring the area. Destin Commons, golf courses, water parks, movie complexes, and one of the largest outlet malls around are just a short drive away. With numerous water sports and excursions available, Destin is sure to capture your heart.

Please be advised ...

1) Crystal Villas is strictly a non-smoking complex. Smoking is prohibited not only inside the unit but also on the balcony, in the parking lot, and on the beach.

2) All renters must meet the minimum age requirement of 25, which is strictly enforced. As a family-friendly and peaceful establishment, we ask our guests to be mindful of their behavior and keep noise levels at a minimum.

• Non-compliance with either of these rules will result in eviction with no refunds of rent paid.

Our standard payment/cancellation policy requires a 40% deposit on reservation, with the full rental payment due 30 days prior to arrival. Travelers who cancel 60 days prior to check-in will receive a full refund of the amount they've paid. Cancellations made after that point will not receive a refund.

We are aware that there are numerous accommodation options in Destin, which is why we are dedicated to providing you with a pleasant and comfortable experience that includes high-end amenities. It would be an honor to have you as our guest. Our aim is to maintain the condo in excellent condition. We have personally stayed in several condos ourselves and understand what guests are looking for.

Our family had a wonderful time! The condo was clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We absolutely LOVED being able to sit on the patio and overlook the ocean, and being just steps from the private beach! We are already talking about when we can visit again!

Amazing view and easy access to beach. Condo updated and nicely decorated. Appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Usually stay further down the beach where it is much busier. A welcomed break at this quieter location. Will be back again!

My family of 4 had an incredible week at Crystal Beach. The condo was beautiful and clean and Claudia was so helpful with all our questions. The daily beach service and attendant Cameron was very nice, and the private beach afforded us the socially distanced space from others we were hoping to achieve during our beach getaway. We would highly recommend and would love to stay at this property again in the future!

The owners have done everything to make this feel like home. The property is updated, clean and beautifully decorated. The king bed is very comfortable. The property is steps away from a private beach. This is our third time visiting Crystal Beach. We have stayed at other places and this has been our best experience! We will return! Thank you Claudia and Evan!

The condo is very nice and clean. Ocean view and closeness to the beach is perfect. Swimming pool was very nice too. We loved the beach service having chairs and umbrella set up every morning. Our only complaint was a family above us with several little kids were extremely noisy with running and pushing stools across the floor made sleeping very difficult.
