Crystal Beach 1 Br Condo:Beachfront/Private Deck. (#33952)

Destin, Florida
 

Description of the Destin vacation condo rental

If you are looking for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath Destin beachfront condo that sleeps 2 to 4 people with a big PRIVATE ATTACHED deck, on 300 feet of PRIVATE DEEDED BEACH, you have found it!

Affordable direct beachfront is rare in Destin but it is here. The condo is located in upscale Crystal Beach, the prime seaside neighborhood in the heart of Destin. There you will find a Cancun-style one story complex of 23 beachfront condos. This Old Florida style gated community is not crowded and does not come with the hassles of many beachfront properties.

The condo is popular with couples and small families. Couples appreciate the privacy of being in a corner beachfront unit with no foot traffic passing by to get to the beach. Small families appreciate the added safety of a gated community and provisions for babies and small children at no extra charge.

A big winner with guests is the big private deck attached to the unit that no other guests in the complex can access unless you invite them. The only access to the deck is from inside of the condo.

Another plus about this condo is that it is the west end beachfront corner unit which means gorgeous unobstructed beachfront views from inside of the condo as well as from the deck and more privacy and quiet for your vacation stay.

Our guests enjoy cooking in the fully equipped kitchen or on the commons grill close to the condo, then dining on the picnic table on the deck so they can enjoy the fresh sea air while dining.

The private deck is built right over the sand so you can’t get closer to the beach than this. There is NOTHING obstructing the view of the Gulf from this unit and this is the only unit in the complex that provides an unobstructed view. Dolphins enjoy frolicking in the Destin area since it is a feeding ground for these gentle and playful creatures which adds to the enjoyment of our guests.

The condo has a big furnished kitchen, cable and WiFi Internet, 2 TV's, DVD and VHS players and two private parking spaces right in front of your door for easy offloading of luggage.

This condo by the sea is located just four blocks from many stores and shops, restaurants, and Destin Commons Open Air Mall.
Its central location to family attractions makes for convenience and saves time for guests. Golf courses are conveniently located just 5 to 15 minutes away. And the largest designer factory outlet in the USA is located just 10 minutes drive east.

For a real beach vacation like it used to be, you will enjoy your stay at this condo and you will love the private beach!

*************************
NOTICE: We rent by the week, Saturday to Saturday only during peak spring, summer and holidays unless the calendar is open one week prior. Otherwise, 3 night minimum stay. Holiday weeks rent at early fall rate.

Reviews for this vacation condo rental in Destin, Florida

 Great place on the beach!, November 10, 2009
By Sue and Gary (Chicago, IL)
This was a perfect choice for us, just a few steps from the beach with great views of the water from the private deck. The condo was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. After walking down the beach and looking at the neighboring properties, we were glad we chose the Capri, as it was the most private and had easiest access to the beach. Would definitely recommend this to couples or families with 1 or 2 children.
 
 Picture Perfect, October 22, 2009
By Christine & Mike (Louisville, KY)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on staying here again for our next trip to Destin. Everything was as described. We could not ask for a better value for the view and privacy. The water was perfect-temp, color, clarity. It didn’t hurt that we had picture perfect weather either. Thanks for everything.
 
 Fantastic View, October 13, 2009
By Michael (Lexington, KY)
We had a wonderful time here. Loved the deck! The view cannot be beat and our two year old quickly learned to stay away from the rail, no problem. We found your place on the internet and could not have been more pleased with your hospitality, the accommodations (including wireless Internet which we used every day), and this part of the beach and the gorgeous view. We saw dolphins on a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed hearing the waves at night, seeing the stars and carrying only towels, toys and keys to the beach. There is no other way to vacation at the beach. Thank you & we can’t wait to return. Michael, Amy & Dean
 
 Great place to stay!, June 24, 2009
By Gerard (Knoxville, Tn USA)
This the second yr we have stayed. I can't say enough good things about it. We love the evenings on the deck and the view of the beach during the day. I don't think you can get any closer to the beach because you are right on it. Most everything you need is close. It's a great place to stay.
 
 Summer Bliss, June 23, 2009
By Angie (Laurel, Mississippi)
We hit the jackpot staying at Capri by the Gulf #116! This unit has a deck that sits DIRECTLY on the beach! If you played baseball and hit a center field flyball it would land in the beautiful emarald waters of the gulf! That's how close you are to the water! Sliding glass doors let the beach into your living/dining area and anyone who sleeps on the sofa can drift off to the sound of the waves crashing onshore. We saw dolphins, sharks, seagulls, pelicans, sand crabs(night), doves, beautiful sunsets and more! Bod and Denise made the "business end" of renting this property simple. They were are know their business and they care about their customers. I only hope this unit is available when I save the money to come to this paradise again! p.s. They EVEN welcome you with a basket full of great snacks!:) Angie Mississippi
 
 On The Beach, July 9, 2008
By Michelle Ronsonet (New Iberia, Louisiana)
I am going to review our condo and the service we recieved from Bob on the Beach. The condo was great, right on the beach. Our deck was huge, by far the biggest out of all the condos in the area. We had everything we needed like a home away from home. Flashlights for night, chairs and umbrellas for day. The beach was gorgeous no jellyfish and the location was great. We were in the center of everything, either way we went it led us to a restuarant or an attraction. Oh I have to say the welcome gift basket was so nice and personal, I sure didn't have to bring any extra snacks. Thanks so much Denise and Bob for giving us the relaxing get away we needed. Oh I almost forgot the dolphins every single morning. Who needed a glass bottom boat, we had all the sites right out of our deck. It really was a home away from home, I came back with all my clothes clean (washer/dryer) put them away in ten minutes; now that was a vacation! Thanks again we will be seeing you next year!!!!
