The location is convenient to restaurants and shops, and the area feels safe with fewer crowds than nearby high-rises. Recurring drawbacks include the lack of an elevator to the third-floor unit and spotty or poor Wi-Fi in some stays, with a few isolated maintenance or linen issues noted. Best suited to travelers seeking a relaxed, family-friendly beach escape.

Facility was beautiful and terrific, however, the absence of an elevator was extremely difficult since I am a handicapped person.

This condo was absolutely gorgeous from the beautiful beachside decor to the perfect location. When we arrived, we were greeted by the beautiful sounds of jazz music in the master bedroom and a tower of Nothing bundlets and a bottle of rose wine -- a perfect way to start off my birthday celebration! Everything we needed was provided and the location was convenient where we could visit the beach, restaurants and shops. It was peaceful and most of the neighbors were nice. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Overall, we would definitely book this condo again whenever we return to Destin. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Very comfortable and handy to beach. The air conditioning was running nonstop and was annoying but other than that, it was great! The hot tub and heated pool and view from the balcony was the icing on the cake!

The condo was easy to find, very clean, and perfect size. The pictures are very accurate. Everything was in working order in the condo. Much easier to check-in from the back parking lot than from the front (pool side). We lucked out with fine early March weather with sunny skies, low humidity, and temps in the 70’s. The host (Laura) was extremely prompt with questions and help when needed.

We stay at a Grand Caribbean condo every time we visit Destin. We love the location. There are fewer people than the high rises and we prefer that. The condo is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. Be prepared for stairs 😊 The condo is so cute. The photos are accurate and it has such a fun vacation vibe. My husband said the bed is the best he’s slept in (more comfortable than ours at home). We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony. Comfy chairs and nice view of the beach. Perfect place to people watch, have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Condo has everything you need for a fantastic vacation. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks Laura for sharing your special place.

This place was in a great location to where family was staying. We were right across from the beach with access at either side street by the building. The pool was warm and the hot tub was great in the evening after a fun packed day. The unit was on the 3rd floor with a great view. The kitchen was very nice with all the appliances you could need. The living area was very comfortable and cozy. The bedroom and bathroom were nice also with a king size bed. Only complaint would be closet space as there was just a small cubbyhole to hang stuff up in, but all and all would chose this place again for next year.

Location was great and for the most part everything was to our liking with the exception of the bed sheets that had blood stains on them. The blender also did not work, porch light was out and had some difficulty opening the porch door at times. I communicated these concerns to customer service and they said they would address it with the property manager.

Stayed here for a work conference and brought my family along. My 12 and 13 year-olds loved the bunkbeds with private TVs. Short walk across the street to the beach with beach views from the balcony. The condo was extremely comfortable, including the beds and full access kitchen with dishwasher as well as a washer and dryer. The condo has everything you would need in the kitchen to prepare meals and clean up efficiently. The condo is close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Condo was very clean.

We have stayed at the Grand Caribbean several times, but this was our first time in this unit. It was very clean and the decorations were fun. We loved the new chairs on the balcony. The kids loved that there were tvs on both of the bunk beds. The owner was very responsive and friendly. Will definitely stay again!

Property was even nicer than the pictures show. Fresh paint and updates. Extremely clean and comfortable. Only downside and issue we had was the wifi connection is HORRIBLE. We contacted mgmt and they were very responsive, but wifi just is really bad in this unit - there was not much they could do to resolve.

We love the Crystal Beach community and visit twice a year. This is the first time staying at this condo and it was just perfect. A short walk to the beach and the heated pool at the complex made our family happy all week. The condo was stocked with everything we needed for our vacation and the owner was great with communication and responded immediately when I had a few questions before check in. Internet service was a little spotty but I think that was caused by the storms we had during the week, so not much anyone can do about that. We were successful resetting the modem when we needed to. The beds were very comfortable and the decor was fun and beachy! Definitely a new happy place for us to stay next time we return in the fall!

Very comfortable and handy to beach. The air conditioning was running nonstop and was annoying but other than that, it was great! The hot tub and heated pool and view from the balcony was the icing on the cake!

Stayed here for a work conference and brought my family along. My 12 and 13 year-olds loved the bunkbeds with private TVs. Short walk across the street to the beach with beach views from the balcony. The condo was extremely comfortable, including the beds and full access kitchen with dishwasher as well as a washer and dryer. The condo has everything you would need in the kitchen to prepare meals and clean up efficiently. The condo is close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Condo was very clean.

We stay at a Grand Caribbean condo every time we visit Destin. We love the location. There are fewer people than the high rises and we prefer that. The condo is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. Be prepared for stairs 😊 The condo is so cute. The photos are accurate and it has such a fun vacation vibe. My husband said the bed is the best he’s slept in (more comfortable than ours at home). We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony. Comfy chairs and nice view of the beach. Perfect place to people watch, have a glass of wine and watch the sunset. Condo has everything you need for a fantastic vacation. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks Laura for sharing your special place.

This place was in a great location to where family was staying. We were right across from the beach with access at either side street by the building. The pool was warm and the hot tub was great in the evening after a fun packed day. The unit was on the 3rd floor with a great view. The kitchen was very nice with all the appliances you could need. The living area was very comfortable and cozy. The bedroom and bathroom were nice also with a king size bed. Only complaint would be closet space as there was just a small cubbyhole to hang stuff up in, but all and all would chose this place again for next year.

My family really enjoyed staying at this property. It is very clean and it is decorated so nicely! We loved the views of the Gulf! Just a quick stroll across the street and we were at the beautiful beach! I loved the area, it is very safe and very active! A great place if you love to run, walk or bike. We definitely plan to return sometime! We were happy all around! The host was amazing!

The air conditioner was ok. I would just say that people are different, so telling them they can't go below 70⁰ could be a turn off. That may not fly in the summer.The pool was fine.I would like to suggest that you should rate your guest. Give them 1-5 stars based on how accurately they followed the directions on how to leave the property. Praise them when they meet or go beyond what was expected. This will help them be better guest moving forward.

Clean, very comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen. Our only complaint was the main bedroom closet was locked as the “owners closet”. There was an area built into the wall as a closet- but had less than 12” of hanging clothes rod. We were 3 people sharing that tiny space to hang clothing. The condo is managed by Real Joy Vacations- they are responsive and were helpful when we had an issue with the dryer.
