About this property

Crystal Delight

Steps to the Sand! Conveniently located in the Crystal Shores neighborhood, our home offers the best of what the Crystal Beach area of Destin has to offer. Our home is close to the heated neighborhood swimming pool, and is only a short walk away from the Hutchinson public beach access (complimented by outdoor showers, public bathrooms, and a lifeguard station). Crystal Shores is a luxurious white picket fenced neighborhood located near the white sand beaches while still remaining close to the Destin Commons shopping mall, providing multiple entertainment and dining options you are sure to love.

The house has a large deck area, a comfortable front porch, a private master balcony, a quiet yard, and offers the following sleeping accommodations: (1) a queen bedroom and (2) an adjacent queen bedroom, separated by a full bathroom on the main floor. Up the stairs you'll find (3) a bunk room with a twin over full bunk bed and (4) an oversized master suite with walk in closet, private balcony, indoor seating area, and a luxurious master bathroom with both a stand up shower and a separate jacuzzi tub. Further up the stairs there is a (5) loft sleeping area with a twin daybed with a twin trundle bed underneath.

Large Home with Walk to Beach Convenience
This is hard to beat for the combination of rental size and walk to the beach location. Traffic in Destin is a big issue so this central location for all needs and activities east and west helped for all our needs. A problem with the new HVAC system was resolved in a timely manner. The quiet street in an otherwise busy resort town is much appreciated.

Would stay here again
House was a perfect size for our family (us with our adult kids & small grandchildren). Kitchen is well stocked. Lots of extras to use for the beach (chairs and toys). We loved the location.... close to the pool, safe area, clean & quaint neighborhood. Owner is great to respond quickly to any messages, needs, concerns. Very helpful. The only complaints we had were the beach area was very crowded as it is a public beach area, and the house is in much need of A DEEP clean!! Could use some updates too, beds were not very comfy (several of us have had backs and it was a little rough for that), but nothing we couldn't overlook. Overall, we would stay here again. Easy walk to the beach, and we had 3 kids under age one!

Crystal Delight was perfect!!!
Crystal Delight was the perfect home for our Destin vacation. We had a family of six ranging from 7 months to 80 years old and we all loved it! It was very spacious! One teen loved having the third floor to herself. The other teen enjoyed sleeping on the bunk bed. The master bedroom was amazing!!! So much room and space. And the 80 year old enjoyed staying on the main floor as to not have to navigate steps. It was perfect and still room for more. It was a very short walking distance to the beach. In fact, at other beaches I would say the walking distance from Crystal Delight to the beach would be similar from the parking lots to the shore. There were lots of beach toys, buckets for building sand castles, rakes, shovels, beach chairs, a beach ball, a wagon to pull it in and so much more. We can’t wait to book our next vacation at the same home and have already shared with extended family who also look forward to staying there for their next Destin vacation.

Delightful Destin
Had an amazing, quiet visit in Destin post Labor Day. We were a block and a half away from beach. The pool was directly across the street and the house for our family perfectly. It was pur first trip. We would go back again in a heartbeat. Only drawback for us was a non functioning outdoor grill, patio umbrella and the ice maker did not work. It did not stop us from having a great time.
