This property was perfect and saved our vacation after checking into original place and it not being what was advertised. Was able to book last minute and even check in early which was a huge help. Great property, perfect location, and very clean. Plan to book again in the future.

We loved our stay at Crystal Beach Cottage. Beautiful house with great amenities and walking distance to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!
This house was a great find! Perfect location, short walk to the beach and easy to work with owner/property manager. I loved enjoying the front porch, coffee in the morning, cocktails in the evenings! I’ve never stayed at a VRBO that didn’t have some spices or even a little olive oil or salt and pepper. I guess it’s a county ordinance law, so be sure to bring your own spices, oils, coffee filters. The house was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

This was our third trip to Crystal Cottage in three years. We have stayed 4 or 5 weeks each time. We love the house and the location. Hope to be back next year.
Property very clean!!! Nice neighborhood with pool. The ocean was so clear and gentle that we didn’t use the pool but maybe twice. The house was very cute; my family loved it! Host was accommodating allowing us to enter the home a little early after a very long drive. Host also added another night on because we loved the area and house so much! Hope to visit again!!!

We loved our stay at Crystal Cottage. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood, so close to Camille’s and an easy walk to the beach. The communication was easy, prompt, and always friendly. We would recommend the house to anyone staying in Crystal Beach!
Everything was as described. Communication was prompt. House is very nice inside. There is a fenced small back yard for the dog that was good. Close to the beach. We would have expected full toiletries/trash bags etc for the 800/night price paid. But a very pleasant community and we had a nice stay in Destin!

We stay in this house every year and rent a golf cart during our stay. I love this house because it is perfect for my family of four. The master sleeps well for my wife and me; upstairs, my son and daughter have their rooms and share a bathroom with two sinks. The living room has an oversized sleeper couch, but they must share the downstairs bathroom. This is your house if you have a small family and want to get away for a while. The HOA pool is three houses away, and the beach is a short walk across the scenic highway. This house is tucked away, so sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee is the perfect spot to soak in the ocean breeze. We love going to Camilles, Captain Daves, the Crab Shack, and an Italian gem called Pazzo Italiano. If you have questions, please get in touch with the management company and talk with Audrey; she will ensure it gets done effectively and quickly.
We loved our stay at Crystal Cottage! We were not far from the beach it was a very short walk! The house was amazing it was everything we had imagined from the pictures. Very clean and very nice!! We absolutely recommend staying here 🥰Would love to stay here again in the future! We loved the neighborhood it was located in very convenient for the beach and close to Walmart and lots of stores and restaurants. Thank you for making our trip one for the books!
Perfect location! House layout is perfect. Primary on main floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs. Pool and beach was not crowded like I had expected for Spring Break! Clean, organized, comfortable beds. Only wish the house had beach chairs for guests.

We had a great time visiting with family, playing at the beach, The Track, Baytowne Warf, Noon Year’s Eve at LuLu’s, and just enjoying the neighborhood.
The house was exactly as described and seen in photos. Booking and check in was easy. House was clean, comfortable and had everything you would need. We would stay here again, no problem.
We had a lovely time staying at this property. We would love to come back and visit again. Wonderful spring break getaway for our family. Thanks so much!!
We have stayed in this home before and it is always our "go to" when visiting Destin. The new remodel is beautiful and the management company is top notch for any issues.
We will stay here again soon.
Our family stayed here for my 60th birthday celebration! So nice and clean and so close to the beach, just a short walk! It was perfect! We will definitely be back!!!!
The location is excellent, and the property is very clean and well-maintained. The neighborhood is nice and walkable, with easy access to many nearby spots, which we really enjoyed. The AC worked great, and the outdoor grill was a nice bonus. Linens and sheets were also very clean.The home has two full bathrooms, which worked for us, though for a family of four (two adults and two kids) getting ready at the same time, an additional half bath would make things even more convenient.The second-floor bathtub has a sliding glass door, which made getting in and out a bit tricky, especially when helping kids bathe.The street can be a little lively in the evening—around our kids’ bedtime (8:30 pm), we could still hear some neighbors outside—but it wasn’t a major issue.Overall, we had a great stay and really appreciated the location and cleanliness. Just a few small things to keep in mind for families with young kids.
We enjoyed our month long stay very much. Comfortable, clean and convenient. We didn’t need a thing until we contacted the property manager to reserve next year!
We really enjoyed our stay and the property was perfect for our family. There were a couple of maintenance issues and from what I understand there will be a remodel of the property soon. The location was perfect for beach access and the nice little café on the corner. The community pool was clean and always ready to have swimmers. We would stay in this property again.

Nice little house very close to the beach. Loved the fenced in back yard for the dogs to play while we kept watch. Very comfy beds. Just a great stay!
We stayed at the property for 2 weeks and had a great stay! We had an issue with the fire alarm overnight one of the first nights of our stay but they were prompt to come out and fix right away. The house was recently redone and the cleaning crew does a great job! The house was spotless when we walked in. The description does say that Miramar beach is a 5 min walk which isn’t the case. Miramar is a lot further. However you are right on Crystal Beach. There are two small public beach sections. And you can rent chairs and an umbrella from the private beach sections. We rented a tent, 2 chairs and a beach wagon from Emerald Coast premier Rentals and everything was great, reasonably priced and easy to work with. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area!
