Crystal Shores Destin Vacation Rentals

A prestigious residential enclave of million-dollar beach homes.

Posted on 4/17/2020

You may have driven past this prestigious residential enclave of million-dollar beach homes while traveling on Destin's lush palm-studded portion of Scenic Highway 98. This exclusive community is due south of Destin Commons off Hutchinson Street, where the western entrance leads onto Ocean View Drive. This special route meanders across the neighborhood in a long circular fashion over to its eastern entrance on Crystal Beach Drive. 

Crystal Shores features a seasonally heated community pool that resembles a lagoon-like oasis adorned with towering palm trees surrounding a lovely patio with bathroom facilities on site. However, the "star of the show" is the gorgeous glowing water of the jewel-toned Gulf, and convenient beach access that is just a short stroll away.

This central Crystal Beach location places you just a few minutes away from popular Gulf-front restaurants with friendly beach bars. In addition to Seascape, where our Reef Rewards provides guests with reduced rates for championship golf, tennis, and recreational beach rentals. It is also two minutes away from the captivating Disneyesque shopping village of Destin Commons - featuring a wide array of fine clothiers, fashion boutiques, specialty stores, restaurants, and bars. It also has seasonal festivities and an AMC Multiplex Theater. Grocery stores and numerous wine outlets are also close by.
