Description

Crystal Dunes 206 offers the kind of effortless Gulf-front living that keeps guests coming back year after year. Perched on the second floor of a boutique, low-density complex in Destin’s Crystal Beach, this beautifully updated three-bedroom, two-bath retreat blends panoramic Gulf views, stylish interiors, and unbeatable beach access. With two king bedrooms, a bunk room, and a queen-size sleeper sofa, this coastal haven comfortably accommodates up to nine guests—all on one easy level.

The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is filled with natural light and opens directly onto a private beachfront balcony. Inside, you’ll find two plush sofas, a flatscreen TV atop a charming sealife-adorned cabinet, and a soft palette of blues and neutrals that reflect the seascape beyond the windows. The dining area offers seating for six, while the wraparound kitchen bar adds four more spots for casual breakfasts or sunset drinks. Light wood cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances make the kitchen as functional as it is inviting.

The Gulf-front primary suite is a dream retreat, featuring a king-size bed with a Tempur-Pedic mattress, a cozy sitting nook with expansive beach views, and its own flatscreen TV. The private ensuite bath includes a dramatic navy double vanity, quartz countertops, gold hardware, and a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads and a built-in bench.

The second king bedroom is equally well-appointed with serene tones, a wall-mounted TV, and beach-inspired décor. The third bedroom features a full-over-twin bunk and a TV, making it a fun and functional space for kids or additional guests. These two bedrooms share a full hall bath with a tub/shower combo and bright white finishes.

Step out onto the covered beachfront balcony, furnished with Adirondack chairs and a high-top table perfect for dining with a view. From here, you can watch beachgoers stroll the shore, admire the turquoise Gulf, and toast to unforgettable sunsets. Seasonal beach service is included—so your chairs and umbrella will be set up for you daily on the sand.

Crystal Dunes is one of Destin’s most beloved beachfront retreats. This gated complex includes a seasonally heated pool, bubbling hot tub, and direct access to the sugar-white sands of Crystal Beach. Its location along Scenic Highway 98 places you near top restaurants, beach boutiques, and family-friendly attractions—all while providing a peaceful, upscale setting.

With updated flooring, coastal-chic décor, and a front-row seat to the Gulf, Crystal Dunes 206 delivers the ultimate Destin vacation. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a couples’ retreat, or a laid-back escape with friends, this second-floor gem offers everything you need to relax, reconnect, and soak up the beauty of the Emerald Coast.

Perfect Spot
Stayed at this beautiful condo for a family vacation for 8 days and it was amazing! 8 people total and we all enjoyed it. The location is perfect – on the beach and very close to everything (restaurants, groceries, shopping). 2nd floor unit with a great view of the beach and crystal-clear water. Stairs are located around the corner so no need to wait for elevators every time you go down to the beach or pool. The pool and hot tub are next to the stairs, and the beach is just a short walk less than a minute (very convenient when going back and forth with ice chests and beach gear). The comfortable beds and new appliances (spacious fridge, dishwasher and fancy washer and dryer) make this unit a great choice as well. We spent lots of time at the beach and on the balcony relaxing and listening to the waves. I just unpacked my suitcase and I’m already ready to go back!

Home away from home!
We LOVE this place! It was clean, cozy & perfection. We wanted to extend our vacation, but it was booked! The room is perfect distance from either the stairs or the elevator. The walk to the beach is super short! You can even walk to a few spots for breakfast, lunch & dinner - a rare find in Destin! Be sure to check out the host book on recommendations on where to eat! We took up the hosts' advice! The beach was private to the units, so it was not over crowded. In addition, we felt safe the entire stay! We cannot wait to go back soon!

Doesn’t get any better
My family of 4 and my brothers family of 4 stayed at this beach side condo for 5 days and we cannot wait to come back! The location is perfect, you’re close to everything; food, shopping, Walmart/ Target, coffee. Absolutely no complaints. Private beach, friendly people and beautiful water. The condo had plenty of room for all of us and full kitchen, tv with streaming, washer/dryer and the best part is the balcony to sit on at night while you listen to the waves. We will definitely book again.
Lauren S from Houston - Stayed December 2025

The convenient location and thoughtful amenities truly make this a special spot. We’d love to welcome you back to the beach again very soon!

Fantastic beach stay!!!!!
My wife and I and a few friends of ours stayed here for 10 days and were really not ready to leave the day it was time to go home. It just felt like home. Everything you see on this listing is correct. It is a gated condominium on the beach. There is not much of any type store or restaurant that is over a 10 minutes drive from here. I believe the owner of this Condo must be a chef! We have never stayed in a house or condo with such a well stocked kitchen! There is a lot of silverware and cooking utensils. A large selection of pots and pans. There is both a 10 cup coffee maker for grounds and a Keurig K-cup type coffee maker. Kitchen appliances look like they are all brand new including the dishwasher. We stayed in the master suite. The bedroom and bathroom are very spacious and nice. The king size mattress is so comfortable. You have a great view of the beach from the master suite. There are 2 other bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other has large bunk beds. There is a full bath for them to share. There are tv’s in the living room and in every bedroom that are all on Dish Network. It has everything you would like to have for a relaxing beach stay. If you are not really interested in actually going on the beach, when you are on the balcony on the second floor it is still like being on the beach. You are so close and the surf sounds are fantastic. The balcony furniture is great. We have stayed on upper floors at condos but this is so much better. There is a washer/dryer which is so nice to have for a long stay like ours was. The water was crystal clear for all 10 days we were there. Just beautiful! When you head back to the condo from the beach there is a station with a shower and hose to get rid of the sand before going back inside. There is a great swimming pool and hot tub. We would like to thank the owners for allowing us to stay in this fabulous condo! We can’t wait for our next vacation to the beach. For sure, it will be right here!!!!!!!

Perfect Beach Stay!
We stayed here for a trip to our favorite beach and were not disappointed! This unit is on the second floor with a perfect balcony setup; morning coffee views will not be the same at home. We were able to have beach chairs (including a table & umbrella) reserved all week by letting the beach attendant know at the beginning of our stay. Walking down whenever we were ready to make it to the private beach and having chairs right in the front row was amazing! The condo is also perfectly located within minutes of some of our favorite stops: Camille’s (easy walk), Back Porch, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Bass Pro, Publix, Total Wine, etc. The condo setup itself is great; perfect for families, friends or even just a parent’s trip! The quick walk to the beach really makes it the perfect location. The layout is also very functional compared to other places – there is a spacious kitchen counter with bar stools and a large dining room table, plenty of space for preparing meals and playing games. Having 2 full baths was also great! This is one of our favorite spots and we cannot wait to be back!

Amazing Trip!
We stayed here for a girls trip and had the best time! Loved that it was right on the beach and close to several restaurants/stores. The kitchen was completely stocked with everything we needed to cook for several meals during our stay. The rooms were also very spacious and clean. We enjoyed having coffee in the mornings and drinks in the evenings on the balcony. The beach was gorgeous and all of the staff were so nice. Can't wait for our next visit!

Great Stay!
This place is wonderful. Crystal Beach feels like a smaller beach town surrounded by the conveniences of Destin. The condo is on the second floor, giving it great views and also easy access and proximity to the beach. The chair service at the private beach is a great touch, especially cause they label your chairs in the morning so no need to rush out to jockey for position. All you have to do is let the beach attendant know that you’re there on the first day and how long you’ll be there and he’ll have it set up. The condo is very spacious with plenty living area. The kitchen bar is perfect for gathering around and all the kitchen appliances are new. We really appreciated the balcony furniture, the Tempurpedic in the master, and the master shower. We also spent quite a bit of time at the pool, which was very nice. Just a perfect place to stay on one of the best beaches in the world!

Absolutely perfect
We had 4 days/ l3 nights to stay at this magical Condo. First of all, the beach is gorgeous, one of our favorite spots in Destin. There are 3 beautiful bedrooms, great kitchen, 2 full bathrooms. The Primary suite is enormous. They also have a wonderful sleeper sofa, if you need more sleeping area. The view from the terrace is amazing, and the trip to the beach is a short walk with chairs and umbrellas available. Destin has some wonderful restaurants, one of which is Camille's. It is a very short walk from the back entrance by the pool. By the way, they have a beautifull pool and whirlpool if you want to chill away from the beach. Next time we stay here, we definitely will stay longer. They have bunk beds in one bedroom, which are accommodate children nicely. LWhat a wonderful, spacious Condo to stay in beautiful Destin!

A bit of Paradise
Outstanding Condo with wonderful amenities. Tge view from tge terrace is breathtaking abd tge walk to the beach is easy. There are beach chairs and umbrellas foe rent, on this immaculate beach. Condo is spacious, comfitable and ideal for a few or many people. Our only regret is that we did not have time to stay longer. If you need a break from the beach scene, they have a wonderful pool and whirlpool available. Kitchen has great amenities, but if you would like to dine out, Destin has wonderful restaurants. One of the great restaurants is Camille’s, which is within walking distance. Great internet, TV’s, and so comfortable . Ou only regret is that we could not stay longer!
