We stayed in 305B with a total of 4 adults and 4 children. The unit has been refurnished recently. The kitchen, living area, master bedroom, and both bedrooms are nicely appointed. The upstairs loft room has older wicker-type furniture, but the mattress seemed fine. The bunk room lacked decor and had typical bunkie mattresses, but it served its purpose for the kids. It is necessary to walk through the loft room and upstairs bathroom to access the bunk room, so there isn't much privacy in the loft room. The beach and the view were gorgeous. We claimed an umbrella and chairs early each morning, but the beach was never very crowded. The kids enjoyed the pool as much as the beach. We took advantage of the early bird menu at the Crab Trap which is a short walk down the beach.

We stayed in condo 308A and the location is great. You are a few steps from the ocean. Beach was very nice. The condo did have a few flaws. The beds need to be replaced in the master and the bedroom with the twin beds. The refrigerator is very old and needs replaced. The bedrooms are not very well lit. I did notice a few changes from the pictures on the internet. They replaced the table and chairs and the bar stools.

We've stayed here several times now (Unit 103B-East) and enjoy it each time. Sleeps 6 with 1King bedroom, 2 bunks in hall, and a sofabed. With a first floor unit it's just steps to the white sugar sand beach where umbrella/2 chairs rent for $30/day during peak season, and being on Scenie Hwy 98 in Crystal Beach area, it's convenient to everything.

Overall, Crystal Sands was nice. We stayed in unit 110B. The unit itself was a little disappointing compared to other units we have stayed in here at Crystal Sands. The furniture is worn out, the bathroom vanitys were literally rotten from water damage. Both toilets were loose. The appliances were old and rusty. They need to update the unit a bit.

On the other hand, the location is one of the best in Destin. The Crystal Beach area is very nice and this condo complex is right in the heart of it. I could see my free beach chairs set up on the beach from the condo I was staying in. This complex is about location, location, location.
