Perfect Beach Condo
Guest: Nannie (Nashville)
Date of Stay: 09/10/11 Review Submitted: 09/18/11
My family really enjoyed our stay in this condo. So beautifully decorated and very clean. We liked it being the end unit and so very close to the beach. Without a doubt this is the best place we have ever stayed and will come back again!

We have been going to Destin for over 15 years. We have now found our spot in paradise. This is a great location to everything. To be able to sit on the patio and feel like you are right on the beach to watch the sunset everyday instead of way up on a highrise was priceless!! The layout of the condo is perfect with beautiful furnishings. Can't wait to go back!!The owners a great to work with. They even called to make sure everything was ok with the unit. If you are going to stay in the Florida Panhandle you have to stay here.

Wonderful location!
Guest: Amber (Houston)
Date of Stay: 07/30/11 Review Submitted: 08/16/11
My husband, two girls and parents stayed in this unit and it was fabulous. The first floor, corner unit with patio looking right out to the beautiful white sands and blue water was perfect. This unit is very spacious and sunny and has plenty of lounging and 'hanging out' room. My girls were asked to be in a beach wedding and this provided the perfect spot to have fun and relax between wedding events.

Best condo yet
Guest: A&B (Buford, GA.)
Date of Stay: 07/23/11 Review Submitted: 08/09/11
Condo is clean, up-to-date, and especially important to us with young kids is being on the first floor. No waiting for elevators!!! There is only about 35 units and lots of private beach. We have been going to destin for about 12 years, staying several different places. Crystal Dunes, and especially this unit is the best. We will use it every year.

Wonderful family vacation!
Guest: Kristi (Allen, Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/11/11 Review Submitted: 07/22/11
Oh how we miss you Crystal Dunes! We loved our stay in this spaceous beautiful condo. We loved being on the first floor and being able to just walk out the back door and straight to the beach and to the pool! The convenience with having three little girls, one of which is only 16 months was what made my time more enjoyable. I could sit on the back porch and listen to the waves for hours. We hope to spend many more family vacations here at Crystal Dunes!!! Cynthia was a pleasure to work with and was great to recommend some nice restaruants for us to try out!! Thanks!!!

All-Time Favorite
Guest: Brad and Trina (Tulsa, OK)
Date of Stay: 06/18/11 Review Submitted: 06/29/11
My wife, daughter and I have spent summer vacations in Destin 8 of the past 10 years. We were fortunate enough to find Crystal Dunes #101 a few years ago and just returned from our 4th week-long stay in the unit in the past 5 years. Because we're experienced Destin renters, I'll start with the first reason you should consider this property: the owners, Rick and Cynthia. Your experience will begin with excellent communication from your initial inquiry until you leave Destin for home, they're unbelievable - their objective is to make you feel like you own the place, if only for the week! Second, because #101 is on the ground level and the nearest unit to the beach stairs, you have the shortest and most convenient route to the beach of any Crystal Dunes unit - other renters told us they were jealous!! Finally, the pictures on the website don't do the unit justice, it's even prettier in person and is, by far, the cleanest unit we've ever rented. The owners have gone to great lengths to upgrade the property each year and have made it incredibly comfortable. My family and I plan to spend another wonderful week in Crystal Dunes #101 next summer while we continue to create memories we know will last a lifetime.

Best in
Destin!

Norman(Tyler, Texas)
Date of Stay: 05/14/11 Review Submitted:

We have visited Destin many times over the years and leased
multiple properties; this property is truly exceptional. It
is in one of the most desirable locations on Crystal Beach
with respect to quality of beach, dining, and shopping. The
access and convience to the beach cannot be overstated, it
is literally steps away. The property is spacious and bright
with a great floor plan and stunning views. Another
exceptional feature was the condition of the property; this
unit was absolutely immaculate. Very clean and well
appointed with everything you will need in the kitchen.
Another great feature were the beds, they were very
comfortable and again much better than what we have
experienced with other units. Cynthia and Rick were great
and conducted the lease in a very friendly professional
manner. Cynthia went out of her way to make our stay
special. Thank you both for such wonderful accomodations. |

We loved the location of this property -nearby to Destin
Commons, Publix, etc- and also not far from heart of Destin
or Sandestin/Outlets. The unit itself is very well located,
as you literally step outside the backdoor and walk a few
steps to the stairway to the beach. Really great for us, as
we have two small children and are constantly back and forth
from the beach to the condo. Can't say enough about how
convenient this is. It's probably the easiest unit in the
building to get down to the beach. The pool is a 1 minute
walk from the front door (but no noise from the pool or
anything). The unit is in immaculate shape and has beautiful
views. Lots of FL sunshine with all the extra windows.
Kitchen is well stocked with cooking tools and
cups/plates/etc if you plan to be cooking in. There are also
2 chairs and umbrella set up each day that come with rental
fee - also quite convenient. The property has gated entry
which is a nice amenity. Great time, great place to stay!
Highly Recommend!

Fantastic!! Will be back!!
Guest: Anonymous
Date of Stay: 04/09/11 Review Submitted: 05/24/11
We had the best vacation here!! Everything was sooooo
perfect!!! We have already decided that we want to come back
every year! We truly felt like we had the entire beach to
ourselves. We took such advantage of the front patio...it
was perfect while our baby was napping and we still felt
like we were right on the beach while sitting there. It was
some of my favorite moments on the trip. So peaceful! Also
we loved the decorating and top notch bathroom, kitchen,
etc. We truly appreciated all the little details, sound
machines, plush towels, even fresh flowers upon arrival! It
was the perfect vacation, we will be back! April was a
perfect time of year to go, after Spring Break crowds and
before the summer crowds and the weather was great! Cynthia
is fantastic to work with, so thorough and helpful. It is
very evident that she truly cares about her guests and their
stay.

The most fun
and relaxing trip!

We decided to come down to the beach fairly last minute, and
I am SO glad we did. What a beautiful condo, well appointed,
and the location is AMAZING. Cynthia (the owner) was a joy
to work with, so helpful with suggestions and things to do
in the area, she made sure we were well taken care of. She
definitely has an amazing gift of hospitality. The proximity
to the beach is more than perfect for kids, our children
(ages 2 and 4) had more fun than they ever have at the
beach. They slept late and napped perfectly every day! I
can't WAIT to come back! Thank you for the most amazing and
relaxing trip. We will be returning for sure! Our children
LOVED playing in the fountains at Destin Commons as well as
the beach and pool of course! The whole trip was just
perfect.

Magnificent View!

My husband and I spent the
week of Thanksgiving at Mer-Sea and we could have stayed
forever! It was so very peaceful, restful, and
beautiful. The condo was beautifully decorated and very
well-maintained. We spent a great deal of time sitting
on the patio people watching and enjoying the roar of
the Gulf. I cooked a big breakfast every morning in the
lovely kitchen and found everything I needed to
accomplish that with ease. We chose to eat our other
meals out and were never disappointed. There are so many
wonderful restaurants to choose from, and you will find
prices to fit any budget. We chose to spend our time
catching up on some much-needed rest, but there are
endless choices of things to do for every age group. We
have been fortunate enough to travel to many beach
locales including Hawaii, California, Oregon, South
Carolina and the Virgin Islands, but we agree that there
isn't prettier white sand and emerald green water
anywhere! The owner was very accomodating and
forthcoming with restaurant suggestions and general
information. We definitely give Mer-Sea an A+!!

Best
location in Destin!

Our family absolutely loves
Mer Sea! We have stayed here four years in a row and
look forward to our stay here next year. The location is
excellent - steps from the sand, low rise building so
the beach isn't crowded, and central to any location we
visit (Ft. Walton Beach, Seaside, or just staying in
town). We especially enjoy the beautiful sunrises and
sunsets from the deck - and you never know when you may
see a dolfin jumping out in the water! September is an
excellent time to visit. After Labor Day, the summer
crowd has subsided - we rarely have to wait at a
restaurant and the street traffic is less. Plus, the
water is still warm enough to swim in enjoyably and the
sun shines bright enough to extend our summer tans! If
you're planning on coming to Destin, plan on staying
here. The unit owners are great to work with and the
location is awesome! That's why we can't stay away!

We do an annual girls' trip
to Destin, and this is the best condo we've stayed in
over 17 years. Very nicely decorated, and we loved the
location. You practically fall out of the back door onto
the beach! We highly recommend it!

"Wow! What a great condo!!
More than we expected... Pictures on the website very
accurate! Right on the 1st floor and an end unit...we
felt like we had our own house on the beach. We didn't
have to bother with stairs and could walk right out to
the beach. Beautifully decorated, great floor plan and
tons of room. It accommodated 4 adults easily. We all
agreed we could live there full time! Location is so
close to everything...easy walk or 2 minute ride to
shopping, movies and great restaurants. We plan to go
back in the future. And great landlords"

This is an absolutely
beautiful spot to stay. The end unit is so convenient to
the beach, for unloading the car, and the rinse-off
shower. The owners are wonderful to rent from. We found
the kitchen so well-stocked with appliances and
utensils. The unit was clean and the complex is
centrally located to everything. Can't wait to go back!

Awesome location! Minutes
from the heart of Destin, even closer to The Destin
Commons shopping center. Also easily access Sandestin,
Outlet malls, and even the 30-A area. Best of all -
STEPS from the beach. This is the closest unit in all of
Crystal Dunes to the beach. No sandy elevators, just
step out the back door and down the stairs and -VOILA-
white, sandy beach! Plenty of good things to report
about the interior unit - brightly decorated, beautiful
artwork, lots of natural light as it's an end unit. No
80's beach decor in this condo! Feels like it's your own
beach house... not a rental. I highly recommend it! -
