This lovely one-bedroom vacation rental at Crystal Sands could provide a romantic getaway to the beach or the perfect accommodations for a small family of six. It has sensational gulf-front views overlooking the shimmering white sands of Crystal Beach, a highly sought-after part of Destin, Florida. This beachfront condo complex features a year-round heated swimming pool, private beach access, and two gulf front grilling stations for fun family cookouts.

Crystal Sands 214A is a second-floor rental providing panoramic views of the bright white beach and the glowing emerald-toned gulf waters. Sliding glass doors in the open living area frame this sensational seascape and lead to a breezy balcony. Some upscale, richly woven outdoor chairs and a table invite you to experience the beach views and listen to the murmuring surf while sipping your favorite drinks. The open living room includes a royal blue-colored couch and two chairs flanked by elegant table lamps and a honey-toned hardwood cocktail table. This seating ensemble has views of the gorgeous gulf and an extra-large wall-mounted flatscreen TV beside a stained hardwood cabinet that houses the queen-sized murphy bed. The open kitchen has an upscale regal look with a gleaming black granite-topped bar table and six dark ebony-colored spindle-backed chairs. They blend seamlessly with the rich chocolate-toned cabinetry and brushed stainless steel appliances providing everything needed for fun culinary creations.

The master bedroom has a tropical look with a sunny window, a straw-woven king-sized bed, and a large flatscreen TV mounted above a molasses-toned hardwood dresser. It has access to a full hall bath with a tub shower combination and a separate powder room.

Crystal Beach is surprisingly close to popular gulf front restaurants with friendly beach bars and area grocery stores. Great shopping adventures are nearby at Destin Commons, Paradise Key, and the City Market.

Very Impressed
I like that the complex is smaller and not as crowded on the beach. Chair setup is included and very few steps to the beach! I was very impressed with Ocean Reefs' attention to every detail. I will use them again to book a vacation.
