Description

Crystal Sands sits beside a shimmering wide white ribbon of crystalline shoreline that parallels this pair of three-story beachfront condominiums. A brilliant blue roof on the twin buildings provides a striking contrast beside the sugary beach and emerald-toned gulf waters. The atmosphere here is decidedly laid back, which is somewhat surprising since this location is near the heart of everything the Destin area has to offer. Your family and friends will enjoy the bright white sand beach and tables nearby with gulf side grills invite you to create your own fun version of a Surf n Turf meal. A swimming pool is available year-round and is seasonally heated for the cooler times of the year.

Crystal Sands 308B is an enchanting beachfront vacation rental that has recently completed an extensive renovation. It includes a Master Suite, a Sleeping Loft, and an adjacent Bunk Room to comfortably accommodate up to eight beachgoers. The open living area faces two sets of sliding glass doors to the beachside balcony, which also frames the glittering gulf - providing limitless views into the sensational southern horizon. This spacious room is richly appointed with hardwood flooring in blended tones of honey and syrup. Comfortable furnishings and the new décor have a fashionable Mid Century Modern Vintage style. A light gray contemporary couch and two beige clothed accent chairs are vividly adorned with bright "mod" pillows. A large painting that is a fine abstract example of modern art, hangs above the couch which faces a large wall mounted TV. A maple topped table nearby sits beneath a vintage electric bare bulb chandelier with four decorative black metal chairs and a wooden bench for dining. Two urbane stools sit at a sidebar beside the contemporary, entirely open kitchen featuring brushed stainless steel appliances and a glistening octagonal glass splash wall beneath crisp white cabinetry. Colorful décor throughout also includes vibrant paintings of waves and seascapes. The beachfront balcony provides these vivid views firsthand along with soothing surf sounds. An enchanting full moon magically rises above the gulf towards the east during the summer while spectacular sunsets occur from fall till early spring when the golden orb slowly descends into the western gulf.

The Master Bedroom includes a comfortable king sized bed and has access to a full hall bath. The Guest Quarters in the Sleeping Loft upstairs has beach chic furnishings with a king sized bed, an adjacent bright blue nautically attired Bunk Room with two twin bunks and a full bath. Each bedroom includes a TV for entertainment.

This sought after Crystal Beach location places you near all the action of Destin and Miramar Beach. The highly popular Disneyesque Destin Commons Retail Center that features a myriad of specialty stores, boutiques, restaurants, bars, and a multiplex theater is minutes away. Popular gulf front restaurants along Scenic Highway 98, grocery stores and wine outlets are also close by. About 20 minutes away towards the west are waterfront restaurants, lively bars, concerts, festive seasonal events and water recreational rentals at Harborwalk Village, where Ocean Reef guests receive reduced rates for amusements. Miramar Beach is 10 minutes east which features one of the nation's largest designer discount centers known as the Silver Sands Premium Outlets and the charming Village of Baytowne Wharf which offers lots of restaurants, bars, concerts, and fun festivals.

Based on the daily temperature and at the HOA's discretion, the community pool is typically heated during Thanksgiving week and March through April.

This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE room!
I’ve been staying at Crystal Sands 5 times over the past 7 years and this has been my BEST experience. Can’t wait to come back to stay in this unit again! Arrival was so convenient. I was notified as soon as our room was ready and received a quick email response with temporary door codes that allowed my family to start our vacation early.

The absolutely best rental company in Destin!
Been there 100 times and rented from so many different companies through VRBO. Nothing like Ocean Reef! Fabulous job!

The property was in a great location.
Close to restaurants and shopping. We used a golf cart to get around and Uber when we wanted to head down to the pier. The beach in front of the condo was AMAZING!!
