About this apartment rental

FREE BEACH CHAIR SERVICE DURING SEASON (Mar - Oct) & BEACH TOWELS PROVIDED

Fresh new touch ups with a beachier blue color and professional photos coming in October 2025

Are you looking to have all the amenities while you live the beach life? Well, look no further as our recently renovated (Nov 2023) one bedroom beachfront condo, or our home away from home as we call it, has it all! Crystal Sands is ideally located just steps from the white sands and warm waters of Crystal Beach and minutes (1mi) from the famous Destin Commons and a few of the infamous beachfront food destinations Destin offers. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach from inside the condo at the Salty Dolphin. You can watch the dolphins swim and frolic in the mornings with your coffee too! Could it get any better!?

Our passion is your experience and we'll do everything we can to make sure you'll remember your trip for a lifetime.

Crystal Sands is a low rise (3 story) condo building with a private beach so you can avoid the crowds. It's also perched nicely above the crystal blue waters for amazing views of the beach and waters. Nothing better than watching the sun set from the patio as the dolphins swim by in our opinion! Except maybe a cold beverage to go along with it! The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach inside don't hurt either....or at least that's what we think!

With a first class design, luxury amenities, and an unbeatable convenient location you'll find it all here as Crystal Sands! You can enjoy an outdoor pool or watch the kiddos build sand castles while you get dinner ready or read a book on the patio. It's truly an unrivaled experience and we'd love to share our family condo with you.

You name it, it's new in our unit. We recently redid everything from floor to the ceiling. New floors, cabinets, appliances, granite countertops, king size bed, sofa with a pullout, and a new TV to unwind after a long day playing in the sand. If comfort is what you desire, comfort is what you'll get; as we believe our second home should be just as comfortable, if not more, than our primary residence.

You'll also be welcomed to a fully stocked kitchen for those with a passion for cooking, or looking to save a few bucks. Cooking not your thing? Mix a few drinks with the blender or open a bottle of wine before you head to one of the delicious restaurants that we've provided in the suggestions guide at the unit.

We strive to create an atmosphere that'll allow you to make the lifetime memories you came to Destin to achieve. A beachfront paradise where you park your car outside to open the door to an ocean view that makes you forget about it all right away so you can....VACATION!

So what are you waiting for? Come stay with us and see all that Destin has to offer!

Early check-in requests cannot be confirmed until the day of arrival. If available, early check-ins will be subject to a $100 fee.

This is a private one bedroom condo that you will have full use and access to during your stay.

We are available before, during and after your stay. Just a phone call, text or email away! We have included a binder in the unit of places we like to venture out to to get you pointed it the right direction for some of the additional amenities and hot spots around the area.

The condo complex is located right on Crystal Sands beach. The sand is so fine it squeaks beneath your feet as you're walking towards the water. Magical! We are within minutes of several great restaurants and bars. We're also a mile walk/drive to Destin Commons where there are several shops and restaurants to keep you busy throughout your stay. On the beach you're able to rent paddle boards, jet skis and some other smaller equipment. If you're looking for something bigger or other activities they are also close by and some suggestions are included in the binder we conveniently located in the condo for reference during your stay.

Most guests arrive with a car when coming to visit and you'll have access to the free parking lot at the complex. Some guests even choose to bring along or rent bikes while vacationing as it can be a fun way to see some of the sites and hop around the area. There are racks to lock them up.

Check out our reviews on our other unit in this building too as we just listed this one 1/13/21. (VRBO:1765260, 726646). We love what we do at the beaches of Destin and mountains of Breckenridge, CO.

Our stay at The Salty Dolphin was Great! The cleanliness and beautiful condo as well as the oceanfront view and beach access was superb. Having the beach chair services included with the rental was so nice and a daily routine to walk down to the beach in the morning with the chairs waiting was so inviting. The pool was great to swim in and hang out a few times as well. We bought local shrimp from a sea market and enjoyed our dinner on our deck with the ocean waves. Great week! Thank you!

SO glad we found this condo!! What a great location, right on the beach and in the quiet part of town yet minutes away from everything. We walked in and 1st noticed how super clean it was. We didnt cook so cant comment on the kitchen supplies. Loved that it basically had 2 powder rooms with a connecting room with the tub and washer/dryer so my husband and i had our own bathroom space. We sat on the balcony for hours listening to the ocean. What an amazing view. This truly was a healing and resting vacation for us. Cant wait to visit again.

This property provided us with the perfect Destin getaway! The location could not be beat! We were in awe of the view of that emerald green water as we sat on our balcony. We appreciated the easy beach access and complementary beach service, and we were happy to see that there were some beach chairs provided in case we visited a different beach. The condo itself was well appointed. We found everything we needed to cook our meals. The wall decor and colors were beautiful and reflected the surroundings- tropical and serene. The host responded to our messages promptly. Everything was perfect and we would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting Destin. We hope to return here ourselves in the future!
