Crystal Sands 217A

Crystal Sands is an aptly named vacation destination that overlooks a shimmering ribbon of the white 'crystal sands' paralleling this three-story gulf-front condominium complex. The atmosphere is casually laid back, which is surprising since the physical location is near the heart of everything Destin and Emerald Coast have to offer. This one-bedroom vacation rental residence provides accommodations for up to six happy beachgoers, so feel free to bring the kids with you!

Crystal Sands 217A is a special "end unit" with extra-windows, presenting a bright, spacious look. The comfortable furnishings are quite lovely, including a cream-colored couch flanked by a beautiful floral patterned accent chair. They face double vistas of the sensational seascape and a large flatscreen TV mounted on a handsome hardwood chest. A beachfront balcony with seating overlooks the glowing gulf and beautiful beach. During the summer months, full moons romantically display their magical silvery sheen across the gulf's surface, providing a dazzling effect. Crystal Sands also has a community pool that is heated during the chilly times of the year, which happily coincides with spectacular sunsets that majestically descend into the gulf. Beach-inspired decorative art throughout this home features paintings, prints, and sculptures of sea life, a boat on the sugary beach, seashells, cranes, palm trees, along with a turtle, to name a few. The dining area near the open kitchen has an intimate hardwood table with four wide square-topped wooden stools. Raised wooden stools beside a richly mottled granite-topped bar offer extra seating for serving tropical drinks and treats. The kitchen has brushed stainless steel appliances with everything you need to create fun culinary delights.

The Master Bedroom has a full ensuite bath, a sunny window, and upscale contemporary furnishings, which include a king-sized bed. A twin bunk nook is tucked off of the hallway with access to a convenient powder room.
