Description

This beachfront vacation rental residence at Crystal Sands is located in a highly sought-after part of Destin known as Crystal Beach. It sits perched above a wide white ribbon of crystalline sand that sparkles in the sun and parallels this three-story gulf-front condo complex. This two-bedroom rental can accommodate up to ten happy guests with a special bonus space in a spacious upper-level loft. It also features a bonus bunk room with multiple beds for the kids. Besides the beautiful beach, Crystal Sands also features a heated swimming pool and beachside grilling stations for fun family cookouts.

The open living area of Crystal Sands 304B has a bright, spacious look highlighted by a wall of sliding glass balcony doors that frame the sparkling seascape. The soaring vaulted ceiling and an open staircase that leads to the upstairs guest loft also add to the spaciousness with abundant natural light. The living area features a rich, handsome look with comfortable furnishings that include a chocolate-colored leather couch and two creamy white vintage modern accent armchairs. They face the gleaming gulf and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV for entertainment. A sleek shiny black granite-topped island nearby includes raised chairs to enjoy drinks and meals in the open kitchen. Brown custom cabinetry accented by a parchment-toned diamond-shaped backsplash and stainless steel appliances provides everything needed to create a fun family feast. 

The master suite has a sunny window and king-sized bed with a regal blue cushioned headboard facing a flatscreen TV mounted above a molasses-toned dresser. It has access to a full hall bath with a walk-in shower, serving as a convenient powder room. The wonderful upstairs guest loft includes a front bedroom with a queen-sized bed that faces a flatscreen TV mounted on a tall cabinet and a couch. It shares a guest bathroom with a tub shower combination and a separate vanity area. Just past the bathroom is a double bunk room with four full beds.

Crystal Beach is minutes away from popular gulf-front restaurants with friendly beach bars overlooking the jewel-toned waters. It is also near grocery stores and fantastic shopping adventures. The Destin Commons retail village is nearby, providing an idyllic shopping experience. It boasts a captivating European-styled look with turret towers, a classic fountain, a geyser plaza, avenues lined by royal palms, a wide variety of retail establishments, restaurants with bars, and an AMC movie theater. The Destin crown jewel of HarborWalk Village is just to the west. It is home to the largest private charter fishing fleet in North America. Visitors can enjoy dockside restaurants, bars with live music, outdoor concerts, year-round festivals, and spectacular seasonal firework celebrations. They also feature fishing adventures, sunset dinner cruises, dolphin sightseeing excursions, pirate ship adventures, and watercraft rentals.

Towards the east in Miramar Beach, the famous Silver Sands Premium Outlets showcases bargains on world-class designer goods. Miramar Beach is also home to the enchanting Village of Baytowne Wharf and the tropically urbane Grand Boulevard of Sandestin. Both feature great restaurants, lively bars, fashion boutiques, fine clothiers, specialty shops, family amusements, outdoor concerts, year-round festivals, and vibrant seasonal firework displays.

Absolutely beautiful view and easy access to the beach
There was so much space for our family of 7 and plenty of kitchen supplies. Also there were a lot of extra trash bags! That never happens when we stay in Destin. This was our best trip yet. Renting chairs was also nice because we didn’t have to lug a bunch of stuff with us. We will be back!
Chanelle B from Gatesville, TX - Stayed June 2025
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad Crystal Sands 304B was the perfect fit for your family, with plenty of space, a well-stocked kitchen, and those extra thoughtful touches. Ocean Reef Resorts is happy to know the easy beach access and convenient chair service helped make this your best trip yet. We’d love to welcome you back to the beach for another wonderful stay!

Wonderful
Had a great time with no unhappy surprises. They helped us get in a bit early so we didn't have to sit in the parking lot and wait for the room. No hidden fees or other such nonsense. It was exactly what it claimed to be and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The location was great as starbucks, Whole Foods, and much shopping was less than a mile. The beach was beautiful! They did a great job of keeping the beach clean (seemed cleaner than surrounding properties).
Kurt N from Des Moines, IA - Stayed June 2024
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted that Crystal Sands 304B exceeded expectations with a smooth early arrival, transparent experience, and a fantastic location close to shopping and dining. Ocean Reef Resorts is glad you enjoyed the clean, beautiful beach and a stay that was exactly as promised. We’d love to welcome you back to the beach for another relaxing getaway!

FAQs

We welcome all of your questions! Most property-specific details can be answered in the AMENITIES tab, for example, "Is beach service included?", "Is there a community pool?" and "How far is the beach?". Additional answers may be found in our Rental Policies.

Still have unanswered questions? We invite you to ask below. Our vacation specialists look forward to providing you with a detailed response to help you find the best place by the beach!

Are tents allowed on the beach?
Hannah L - Posted: 02/17/2022

Answer:

I'm afraid the HOA does not permit personal umbrellas, tents, tarps, canopies, or cabanas on the beach, with the exception of baby tents which may not exceed 48” in height. The good news is Crystal Sands 304B includes two chairs and one umbrella complimentary! If additional setups are needed, they can be rented through the onsite beach service provider.

How far of a walk is it to the beach, and is there a beach view?
Hannah L - Posted: 02/17/2022

Answer:

Crystal Sands 304B is located directly on the beach with unobstructed Gulf-front views! Simply take the elevator down to the beach level and your toes will be in the sand in no time at all.
