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.
