Description

SAFE & Private: BEACH FRONT with Huge Private Deck for 2 guests, Daily Beach Set Up. Park at Door

Vacation directly on the beach and enjoy the large private deck in this very private and safe beach front. PARK right at your front door and avoid elevators and hallways. Spend your time on your own huge private deck away from other guests while still enjoying the sights and sounds of our beauitiful beach and gulf breeze..  Of course you are right on the beach if you choose to use the beach set up, walk the beach and/or swim in the gulf.  You can be sure this unit is properly sanitizied by the same individual prior to each guest's arrival.  This is a perfect place for a peaceful vacation for 2. Great for a romantic vacation or peaceful getaway and a perfect place to celebrate a HONEYMOON or anniversary. Plus FREE daily beach set up service March until November. One KING bedroom with plenty of space . You cannot get closer to the shore than this. This beach front home has its own large private attached deck and is directly on 300 feet of PRIVATE BEACH on beautiful Crystal Beach, Destin's premier beach.

Renovated and updated this unit offers a fully furnished kitchen, spacious king bedroom, cable and WiFi Internet, 2 Flat screen TV's and DVD player and private parking right in front of the unit for easy offloading of luggage. There is a grill just a few yards from the front door. A laundry facility is located in the building.

Located at the west end corner of a small single story gated complex The Capri is not crowded and free from the hassles of many beachfront properties. There is the added security of a gated community and a beach attendent on duty daily March through November.

You can walk and bike the neighborhood plus restaurants and shopping are within walking distance. Paddle boards and Kayak rentals are offered on site. Bike and jet ski rentals are just a block away.

Guests appreciate the privacy of being a corner beach front and enjoy the big private deck that no other guests in the complex can access. The only access to the deck is from the living room of the town home. There is NOTHING obstructing the view of the Gulf from this unit. Dolphins enjoy frolicking in the Destin area since it is a feeding ground for these gentle and playful creatures which adds to the enjoyment of our guests.

The town home is conveniently located just four blocks from Destin's premier shopping and entertainment area, Destin Commons and many restaurants. Its central location to attractions makes for convenience and saves time and gas.

Seven golf courses are conveniently located just 5 to 15 minutes away. And the largest designer factory outlet in the USA is located just 10 minutes drive east. The Destin Harbor hosts the country's largest charter fishing fleet and is only 10 minutes drive west. Plan a fishing trip or enjoy watching the catches of the day from the dock.

For a direct beachfront vacation like it used to be, peaceful and hassle free, you will enjoy your stay in "By the Beautiful Sea" and you will love the private beach! The Capri is an updated version of old Florida at its finest where you drive right up to your front door. The Capri was first a motel prior to being converted to single story town homes three of which are now beach fronts..

Guests with allergies can be assurred this unit has never allowed animals of any kind. Pets are not allowed on the Destin beaches nor by Capri guests.

Amazing condo & beach service    Sep 14, 2024

review star

Our experience here was nothing short of amazing. From the time we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the owners of Sand Surf & Sun. The beach service they provided is the best we’ve ever experienced ensuring that our stay was as comfortable as possible. The condo was beautiful and we absolutely loved the private deck and gated security provided. With the convenient location and outstanding beach service this has become our go to accommodations for our Destin vacations from here on out.

Linda Cherry's reply:

Thank you. YES, Sand Surf & Sun provides Capri guests with outstanding beach service and it's their goal to see the beach experience is the best possible for each Capri guest. It is what sets The Capri apart from others. As the new beach service at The Capri they are doing an outstanding job. As an owner I want each and every one of my guests to experience the joy you found on the Capri 116 private beach. I am delighted to add you to my many guests that return each year and continue to build lasting memories on the Capri 116 beach.

Amazing    Sep 07, 2024

review star

Our stay in Capri #116 was amazing. The unit was very fresh and clean. Everything that we would have needed was there for us to use. Linda was always so easy to work with and very accommodating. Sitting on the deck was one of the highlights of our stay. The beach service was top notch, very on top of getting the chairs set up for us. We will definitely be returning. Thanks so much for a wonderful week!!

The Quiet Side of Destin    Aug 24, 2024

review star

Capri by the Gulf on Crystal Beach has all the beauty of the emerald coast, powdery white sand, turquoise water, and the generally calm waters of the gulf. We prefer the gulf to the Atlantic. Unit 116 is one of the condos on the end of the single story complex. Park at your front door, steps to the beach, Complementary beach chair and umbrella set up daily, and with this unit your own private deck overlooking the beach. Inside the sliding doors and windows give you a view of the beautiful beach and gulf. We found the king size bed to be comfy and found all we needed for food preparation. For us this type of unit is much preferable to a high rise where you're umbrella to umbrella on the beach. We enjoyed our stay and this is our second visit to Capri by the Gulf.

Perfect Beach Week    May 18, 2024

review star

We’ve stayed in this perfect little beach condo 9 or 10 times over the years. Love to sit on the deck watching the waves with a cup of coffee in the morning! The kitchen is well stocked, the bed is very comfortable and the condo is decorated beautifully. We also really enjoy the private beach along with the complementary beach service. To top things off, Linda is a wonderful host! We’ll be back!

A SPECIAL PLACE!    Feb 24, 2024

My wife and I just returned from 2 weeks at Capri #116 on 03/09/2024. The accomondations for the two of us were wonderful. Clean, comfortable and all the amenities that you need for a beach vacation. Having your own private large deck right on the beach, wow! Location of Capri is perfect for any shopping or dining needs. The Capri #119 Team from the owner to the management group were the best! The Foxes will be back!

Thank you! It was a joy to have you both visit and we look forward to your return to Capri 116.

Beautiful private gem on the beach!    Apr 22, 2023

review star

My wife Christi and I have stayed in Destin for years and pass this enclave many times. We decided to stay here this trip and so very glad we did. Private beach with a private deck set on the most beautiful water in the world. We watched dolphins playing in the mornings within a hundred feet from the deck. The gated setting was quiet, safe with barbecue grills adjacent to our door and walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. We stayed for a week and never moved the car. With paved walking and biking paths on both sides of the adjacent road we were able to move about safely and conveniently. The bungalow was well appointed, clean and situated perfectly with the Gulf in our view constantly. The owner is very accessible and provides a worry free vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay! The view from our private deck was perfect!! Our rental was nice, cozy, and clean. Only steps away from the soft white sand and clear water! This place is perfect for couples that want privacy with places to eat or explore nearby. Linda was great to work with. Communication was fantastic and rental description accurate. We hope to return very soon!

Location! Location! Location!    Aug 17, 2019

This place is as advertised! It's just steps from the beach and has an amazing deck overlooking the beach. Linda was very accommodating and made the whole process of booking the place an easy, pleasant experience. As well, there are several nearby restaurants that you can walk to and enjoy. The chairs and umbrella set up each day are an added bonus. It's conveniently located in Destin close to plenty of markets and shopping, but you'll never notice any of that when you are at the beach! Just a short drive to the Destin Harbor or Okaloosa Pier when you want to do some fishing! Me and my girlfriend had an amazing time and we will be back soon!

When looking for a special place to spend a long awaited getaway, I kept going back to this listing. It was so perfect for my husband and I. The large deck overlooking the beach, the kitchen with all the conveniences, comfy king bed, gated access, beach chair set up and right on the beach, made this a perfect spot!! We were not disappointed!! We could not have picked a better place to spend the week at Destin!! Linda was wonderful to work with and made sure we had everything we needed! Can’t wait to go back!

We stayed here for a week while my husbands family was also down here we got the best place! The deck is so nice if you don't want to go to the beach and get sand everywhere it looks right out on the beach and you can just enjoy the sun. It is gated which is so nice and it is also close to everything so you don't have to take your car places that you want to go you can just walk. It has everything that you're looking for in terms of a kitchen and bathroom. Really nice if you don't want to go out to eat and cook something at home. We are looking forward to our next vacation and will definitely be booking here again!

We stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely fell in love with this property! We were looking for a place right on the beach so we could enjoy the sights and the sun. This place was perfect for what we wanted! We spent the majority of our days relaxing on the huge private deck as it is in the sun all day. The private beach setup was super convenient and the location of the condo is perfect as you are a short walk from anything you could need. The inside of the condo is clean and is perfect for two people. We are already planning our next trip!

Ideal Destin Getaway    May 05, 2017

review star

This beach front slice of paradise delivered everything we had hoped for and more. The private deck overlooking the beautiful white sand beach of Destin was even better than advertised as our beach long strolls proved 'our' deck was truly one of a kind. The location was ideal for either doing nothing or doing everything since the unit is quiet and perfect for relaxing in the sun, but also only a short walk to a variety of shops, restaurants and activities. Adding to our stay was a friendly owner who ensured our arrival was seamless and our stay was memorable. The only regret was not booking a longer stay! We...will...be...back!!

Linda Cherry's reply:

Thank you so much. Yes, this is a very large private beach front deck and I believe the biggest of any on the beach except for the 6 plus bedroom houses. I hope you can stay longer next time.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! My husband and I choose this place because of it’s location. Breathtaking sun rises and sunsets right outside our back door and only a few steps to the white sands and clear waters. A nice private getaway for couples (our honeymoon ??) with plenty of entertainment options close by. Linda was great when it comes to communication and as well as her description of her rental. Hoping we can return soon!!
