Two Bedroom Beachfront Destin Condos

Sandestin, Edgewater, Crystal Sands, & Hidden Dunes

Posted on 10/26/2012

Here at Ocean Reef Resorts we offer a vast selection of distinctive vacation rentals. These gorgeous properties range from one to as many as nine bedrooms so they can accommodate many guests depending upon your individual needs. Large homes or luxury condos are great for family reunions or special occasions such as a wedding. One bedroom condos are great for that intimate "get away" for just the two of you. However, many of our guests find that a two bedroom property is just the perfect fit. Many of our guests have children in tow who need their own space as much as their parents need theirs. After all, it may be a family vacation but the adults may want to have a little privacy too! Others come down with close friends wanting to share a vacation together and split the cost, so they may need two bedrooms as well.

Ocean Reef offers a lovely selection of luxurious two bedroom beachfront condos in Destin and Miramar Beach, each with its own distinctive character. These include The Beachside Towers at Sandestin, Edgewater Resort, Hidden Dunes Resort and Crystal Sands.

Beachside Towers

Beachside Towers I & Beachside Towers II at Sandestin are right on the gorgeous gulf and consists of two twin high-rises that have stunning beach views. They can be seen sparkling in the distance across one of the lush green fairways as soon as you enter the privately guarded gates of this World Class resort. A row of Royal Palm Trees lead down the drive as you approach these luxury beachfront towers.  The opulent buildings stand in the distance, right on the beach with the shimmering jewel toned waters behind them. The alabaster colored twin buildings of Beachside Towers I and II rest side beside one another with step like levels that soar up to twenty stories tall. The beachside pools at each building are next to boardwalks that lead to the shimmering white sands that are abundant. A green topped gazebo structure nearby houses the gourmet restaurant called Finz.  The views of the gulf are awesome with ever changing hues which range from peridot to emerald green. Sandestin is just west of Topsail State Beach Preserve with its protected twenty foot tall dunes that extend for miles along the shore towards the east. It is the perfect place to hike, jog or take a romantic walk enjoying the beauty of nature's solace in relative seclusion. Many days you can see dolphins frolicking in the clear, clean waters beyond.

Sandestin Resort is a special world unto itself since this gated community is sandwiched between the gulf on the south and the beautiful Choctawhatchee Bay to the north. There are four world class golf courses, tennis courts and the delightful Village of Baytowne Wharf complete with bars, restaurants, retail shops and a large marina which harbors yachts. Fireworks, free live musical entertainment, seasonal festivals, art shows and kid events occur on a regular basis. Sandestin's main town center, Grand Boulevard, is adjacent to Emerald Coast Parkway and has its own set of restaurants and upscale boutiques. It has a refined look with interactive fountains for the kids to play in on a hot summer day. The pedestrian friendly setting makes it easy to stroll around as you explore the unique shops and great restaurants.

Edgewater Resort

Edgewater Beach Resort, at the far eastern edge of Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach, is truly an awesome sight. This monumental landmark was inspired by the design of a luxury hotel that is situated on the French Riviera. Our "Southern" Riviera duplicate is a stunning piece of work and an architectural treasure. Edgewater rises up in step like form at each level, going from three stories tall at one end to nineteen stories in height at the other. At the end of each tier is a large, open, uncovered terraced balcony complete with vines that cascade over the sides. The entire crescent shaped building embraces the tropical, lagoon swimming pools below. As you view this splendid structure from Scenic Gulf Drive, it looks like a large, luxury ocean liner has just arrived and decided to dock at this particularly beautiful part of the beach. The design provides a spectacular, up lighted image after nightfall since the decorative white lights glow around the curves of this "ship" on every tier.

The resort grounds extend away from the building towards the sugar white beach, with expansive green lawns that are accented with mini islands of tropical palms and other plantings. There is also a reflection pool containing big, multicolored Japanese Koi fish that leisurely glide below the surface. Two large lagoon swimming pools are right next to the beach so that you can enjoy pool action and the shimmering Gulf of Mexico simultaneously. One of the pools has a refreshing waterfall which is particularly wonderful on hot sunny days. An arch of lounge chairs frames the side terrace, usually pointing towards the sun. There is a simmering adult hot tub and a kid's wading pool that provides relaxing fun for everyone. The beach itself has a long row of vibrant blue umbrellas with chairs that extend ribbon like across the bright, white sand. The gulf front of this private oasis extends east to west with over 420 linear feet of beach frontage. Expansive, unobstructed views of the sun splattered waters spread out in shimmering emerald hues towards the southern horizon. Numerous water sports are offered for excitement which includes activities like para sailing, jet skiing and surfing. There are also courts for basketball and shuffle board as well as a miniature golf course. A state of the arts Fitness Center and an outdoor playground for children is also available. Tasty frozen cocktails and delicious fresh seafood is served at the Tiki Bar and Grill which is conveniently located next to one of the pools beside the beach.

Crystal Sands Destin

Crystal Sands is a low rise beachfront condominium which is appropriately named for the white, quartz crystal sands upon which it sits. Indeed, the first thing you notice when you arrive at Crystal Sands is the long white ribbon of sparkling crystalline shore that parallels the brilliant blue roof of this thee story beach side condominium. A swimming pool allows you a chance to refresh after a long day at the beach.  Picnic tables are nearby with some grills in case you want to experience beach side dining or create your own meal. The laid back, low density, exclusive atmosphere is surprising since the physical location is near the heart of everything. Destin Commons, Paradise Key Shopping, City Market and even the Silver Sands Premium Outlets are just minutes away and are favorite destinations of our guests.

There are some wonderful beachfront restaurants nearby as well including The Crab Trap, Camilles, 790 on the Gulf and the Beachwalk Cafe. The Crab Trap is just slightly east of Crystal Sands within walking distance. The location on a beachfront park along a promenade is reminiscent of a charming 100 year old seaside pavilion. They feature fresh seafood, wonderful Po Boy sandwiches and a big bar serving all of your favorite frozen beverages. The rustic interiors have high beamed ceilings and expansive windows which are often left open to allow the breeze in from the Gulf.


At 790 on the Gulf, just west of Crystal Sands, is a relatively new restaurant that features Cajun inspired dishes and good "down home cooking." Specialties include their varieties of gumbo featuring seafood, duck, chicken or andouille sausage. Meals are served generously with comfort foods like country fried chicken, crispy fried catfish and even tasty meatloaf. You may eat indoors or out on their lovely beachfront pool deck for added atmosphere. Happy hour specials are popular here with decent drink and appetizer values.

A little further down is Camilles at Crystal Beach. Italian dishes at Camille's includes tasty thin crusted pizza and pastas of the seafood variety including shrimp, seared jumbo scallops and artichoke hearts. Crusted grouper is often on the menu along with the Catch of the Day which is blackened, grilled or fried. Appetizers include coconut wasabi scallops, large bacon wrapped shrimp, fried green tomatoes and a giant selection of fresh sushi. The interiors of Camille's have a Tuscan look but with vibrant, bright colors that look both chic and casual at the same time. There is also a covered deck for breezy outdoor dining.

At the western edge of Scenic Gulf Drive you will find the Beachwalk Cafe that overlooks not only the gulf but has full unobstructed views of dazzling sunsets over Henderson Beach Park. This award winning restaurant serves up gourmet seafood and mainland entrees with special sauces that are awesome. This is also one of the most romantic restaurants along Scenic Gulf Drive so it is the perfect place to go for a honeymoon, special anniversary, hallmark birthday or any other celebration. You may dine inside in a charming gulf front old world dining room or outdoors on the sandy beach patio illuminated by Tiki Torch lighting.

Hidden Dunes

Another popular destination where we offer luxurious two bedroom beachfront condominiums is at the Hidden Dunes Gulfside. Here you are also in the heart of everything but would never know it because this gated resort community is hidden away from the world on twenty-seven acres. Palm trees and natural vegetation create a special ambiance with trails that connect one neighborhood from the other. A small coastal dune lake is on the property as well with a small pier in case you want to try catching some fish. There are also numerous swimming pools and hot tubs to choose from around the resort. If tennis is your favorite game, you will be happy to know that there are six championship tennis courts at Hidden Dunes with trained USPTA pros to help you improve your game. There are also lighted basketball courts for night play and gas grills for that special barbeque. Just outside the gates of Hidden Dunes are a number of restaurants and lots of shopping. The Village of Baytowne Wharf, Scenic Gulf Drive and Grand Boulevard in Sandestin are minutes away. Miramar Beach has the claim of fame for having the largest Designer Outlet in the nation known as Silver Sands. Literally millions of visitors arrive at this destination to do Christmas, wedding, birthday and special anniversary shopping every year. Discounts on Designer clothing, shoes, luggage, perfumes, kitchenware, china, crystal and other goods are available for up to 75% off of already discounted prices so it's no wonder that Silver Sands has become such a national shopping Mecca.

Enjoy checking out all of these lovely two bedroom beachfront condominiums in Destin and Miramar Beach. They provide your perfect fit the next time you come down with the kids or close friends for that memorable vacation getaway! As always it is our pleasure here at Ocean Reef Resorts to be of service to you and yours.
