We stayed at the property for a week in March during spring break. The location was perfect - quiet neighborhood with just a short walk to the beach. The house looked just like the pictures with plenty of space for my husband and I, our two teenaged kids, and my mom. We paid the extra amount to heat the pool, which I would definitely recommend if you’re visiting in the spring. The only thing the house was missing was pool towels, so make sure to pack those. But other than that, everything was fantastic. The property is currently for sale, and I’m really hoping that the new owners will keep it as a rental because we’d love to come back! ##### Jessica G.

Definitely recommend this home. It would of been better if we were in the private beach list. We had to pay for the chairs and umbrellas because the public beach was further out and it was a hassle to walk with lots of kids and things we were carrying. ##### Le N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen M. 16 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family House! This was a clean, spacious vacation home with a wonderful open floor plan that allowed my family of 7 to spend d a lot of quality time together just hanging out, without feeling cramped! We splurged on the pool heater and it was worth every penny! House had a nice laundry room, a great Dyson vacuum for the sand that inevitably made its way into the house (no matter HOW hard we tried!), and a HUGE master bathroom! Location was a very short (2 blocks or so) walk from the public access to the beach, which had the signature beautiful white sand and was NOT crowded at all. One of the prettiest beaches I’ve ever been to! Overall, great rental, would absolutely recommend to any family with older children and teens! ##### Jen M.

Reviewer Comments: Our group spent a week here. Everything was as described and pictured. We spent a lot of time in the pool. The shade canopy was much appreciated. The beds were really comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and serving ware. We did use the provided beach umbrella and 2 chairs but they were really old and heavily used. The only thing that bothered us was a loud bird coming from a neighbor’s yard that squawked through the night. We all wore ear plugs to drown it out. ##### Drew H.

Reviewer Comments: We recently stayed at this Airbnb in Destin, Florida, and had an overall great experience..The location was great, offering easy access to local attractions and just a short walk to the beach. The house itself was clean and had charming beachy vibes, making it a perfect retreat for a coastal getaway. The private pool, complete with a sunshade, was one of the highlights of our stay—it was an amazing space to relax and cool off. The house had a cute and cozy feel, delivering everything you’d expect from a beach house.There were a few things that could have enhanced our stay. Although the beach was within walking distance, the public access point led to private beaches, so we had to walk about 500 yards down the beach to find a public area. The Airbnb didn’t provide a golf cart, which would have been a convenient addition, especially for making trips to the public beach easier. We also noticed an ant problem around the pool area, although they didn’t make their way inside the house. They seemed to only offer a very basic cable package that didn’t include many channels (2 of the tv’s had Roku). Additionally, this seems petty but the Tupperware and dishes lacked congruency, like it had been left from previous guests & some of it should probably be tossed. Overall, while there were a few inconveniences, we found that the positives outweighed the negatives. The location, cleanliness, and especially the private pool made our stay enjoyable, and we would recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking to enjoy a beach vacation in Destin. ##### Payne S.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our rental experience was phenomenal. Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there. The house was well taken care of and our family was more than comfortable staying there. The customer service for your company is the best I have ever worked with. Whoever handles the texting responses to your customers deserves a raise. They were extremely responsive and helpful. They always responded to me within a few minutes, and with helpful information rather than your typical automated response you see from other companies. I can't reiterate it enough how great they were to work with. We left a few items behind by mistake. One thing we left was my daughter's blanket, the same blanket we brought her home from the hospital in. Your customer service employee that I was texting with had everything figured out within a matter of minutes and got the blanket shipped to us at home. We are so grateful! ##### Andrew S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle U. 20 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary Get-Away Crystal Beach was a great choice for us on our anniversary trip! I cook everyday, and the kitchen was very well stocked. We had plenty of towels, which isn't always the case with rentals. The home was very clean, and the private pool was a huge plus. Very short walk to the beach, and the complimentary chairs and umbrella meant we only had to carry our cooler and beach bag. ##### Michelle U.

Important note: upstairs bedrooms are FULL size, not queen - we wish we had known that before we booked. Some cleanliness issues (dirty pans, pool area), but overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Brandi P. 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I stayed at this property with my three kids from June 2 to June 7, 2025\. Upon entering, you’re welcomed by calming blue tones paired with rustic touches that create a cozy, home-like atmosphere. We spent most of our time enjoying the pool and relaxing on the back patio. One of our favorite days was when we didn’t leave the house at all, just enjoying a peaceful day by the pool.The kitchen is spacious and well-suited for families, making it easy to gather and cook together. The location is convenient, with plenty of shopping and dining options nearby, and just a short drive to a water park and go-kart track.However, there were a few drawbacks. The living room couch was very uncomfortable and noticeably worn, and the large kitchen window had no shade, which let in a lot of sunlight. Additionally, we found a few tiny black bugs in the master bedroom, so if you spot something dark on your sheets, it’s likely a bug.Despite these issues, we still had a great time and I would rate our stay an 8 out of 10. ##### Brandi P. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica S. 16 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vaca The home is absolutely beautiful and well stocked with the essentials to start you off. However our experience was a little too dramatic. We arrived on Friday and by Sunday I received a text message stating that there was a complaint that we had a dog and were smoking on the property. Later that evening I received a call from the property manager on the same issue. I assured her there was no dog. Monday morning they showed up to physically check the property again no dog. The rest of the week we saw random workers come on the property to do their cleaning. I honestly think it would be best to have a sign posted somewhere on the property of the random employees coming on the property during the week. With that said you have no privacy whatsoever. Overall we had a good stay and a very relaxing vacation. We will be back to Destin but not for certain we will choose the same location. ##### Jessica S.

The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I stay in Destin every year and have never had a problem until renting through My Vacation Haven. We arrived to a dirty house with a live roach and insect/bug fevers in the master bathroom, dirty dishes and pots with food still on them in the cabinets, a dishwasher that smelled so bad we had to clean the filter, visible dirt and black dust in the home, lids and wrappers on the floors. The patio furniture was so dirty we had to clean it before we could sit at it. Hoses were left strung out across the pool area. It was filthy. In addition to it being dirty, I requested the pool heater be turned on which I paid for, and I called to check the day before arrival that was done and it wasn’t when we arrived. We figured out to work it but weren’t able to use the pool the first day. The master bath water temperature does not get last lukewarm so by the time the tub is filled up it’s cold. The 3rd bedroom/bunk room is actually a half way that doesn’t go to the ceiling so you can hear everything going on downstairs.I reached to property management the first day of our trip and again on the second day and did not get any form of response until the 4th day of our trip. The manager has not followed up with me since our departure despite reaching out to him multiple times. I requested a minimum of a cleaning fee and 1 day of pool heating to be reimbursed and have heard nothing. This is the most disappointing rental experience we’ve had in Destin and will not be renting from My Vacation Haven again. ##### Ali F. ### 8/10 Good #### Andreia C. 22 Aug 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Destin home experience I will start with the GOOD things about the property. The house is beautiful, furnished very nicely with everything that you need! The kitchen has everything for home cooked meals, there's also a grill outside that was very convenient. There's a private pool that was very clean and maintained with a nice outdoor dining table in the yard and tanning chairs. We loved having the cozy back porch area to sit during late nights. Overall, house was very spacious, generally clean, and nicely remodeled. LOCATION: PERFECT. Very easy and accessible walk to the beach. The beach chairs and umbrella are a great addition. There's a mall 4 min away and A LOT of restaurants. Publix was also very close for groceries. I don't normally like to give bad reviews especially for a home this beautiful, but there was one thing the property may need to work on. The issue we experienced with this property was that there were cockroaches, or palmetto bugs as the locals might say. I didn't want to believe it after we saw one but they just kept showing up daily. The kitchen was full of them, and we discovered more and more throughout the first floor. We wrote to the property manager on the VRBO website and didn't get a response, so we called the maintenance phone number and they said they would send someone over to spray the same day. We never saw anyone come, although we were gone for a period of 1.5 hrs in the evening. We still saw the cockroaches for the remainder of our stay. We called maintenance again to see if anyone actually came out, but they said they did. To me, this means either the infestation was really bad, or no one ever came out. Either way, this seems like a big issue that the property owner/manager doesn't seem to care about much. The whole family had to carefully go through each article of clothing to verify no cockroaches snuck in. It's such a shame because the rest of our stay was great! Overall, I would come again, if the cockroach issue is resolved! ##### Andreia C.
