Please note: renter must have a valid driver's license and active auto insurance to operate the golf cart.

PERFECT BEACH LOCATION
Crystal beach is mostly residential, which contributes to the quietness of the neighborhood. Only a few steps away is the Shirah Street beach access, and the much larger 'Shore at Crystal Beach Park' with a pavilion and bathrooms is only 2 half-blocks down from there at Hutchinson Street where you'll also find Camille's coffee shop and restaurant. We provide a cart with beach chairs and umbrella, so you can roll your gear to the beach with ease.

Restaurants, activities, and entertainment are also close-by. Destin Commons, a beautiful upscale shopping and entertainment center, is less than a half-mile away. It features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Bass Pro Shop, World of Beer, Whole Foods Market, Panera Bread, Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill, AMC Theater with IMAX and much more. You can bicycle, scooter, Jet ski and go para-sailing all within walking distance. The Silver Sands Outlet mall is not far for those who enjoy “retail therapy”!

OFF-STREET PARKING
There's a sizeable driveway in front of the home which accommodates 3-5 cars (depending on size). There is no on-street parking in Destin.

    Pool is very nice and surrounding decks with tables and chairs are great. Pool chairs are not comfortable. Very private pool and deck area.

    Everything was really good. The house served our needs well. House could use a little updating in terms of decor. Stuck in the 80's. The location was very convenient to many activities.

    Very clean. Some snags with check in but easily fixed. Aquilla is lovely and easy to communicate with. Decor is super dated. Beach is beautiful but the condos rope their areas off, so there is only a very, very small public area to use. I was disappointed that that wasn’t communicated. But overall great last minute trip.

    This home and Sugar Palm Rentals are fantastic. The home had everything we needed and more. The backyard pool is a great place to spend the day. Wonderful location with the beach just steps away. Minor issues were dealt with immediately by the property managers. We will be back!

    Close to beach, extremely roomy for 13 people. 5 grandchildren, ages 1-7, had an absolute blast in the pool and beach. Spent evening’s catching ghost crab. Many memories made!
