Nice Holiday Getaway
I stayed at this condo the week between Christmas and New Years to relax and plan for the upcoming year. It has everything I needed to enjoy the week and actually never leave...fully stocked kitchen, close to the beach, nice big flat screen in the living area, etc. I enjoy the patio and having my morning coffee watching the sunrise. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location and host!
Frank is an excellent host who checked in with us multiple times to make sure things were going well. The condo has a very nice view and the area is great! Thanks again!

Frank’s condo was perfect! It’s clean, nicely decorated and has everything you need for your stay in the most convenient location to the best we have everything visited! What a great bonus are the beach and pool views from the patio. The king bed was the most comfortable we have had in a rental property. Then last but not least there is Frank, the best communicator to make sure you are having a wonderful stay. Look forward to returning to this property!

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was just as the pictures showed and was very clean. The view from the large balcony was awesome. The king size bed was very comfortable. There is nothing that I could say that would be bad about this condo. Everything was great. Frank is an excellent owner and host. He called and checked on us to make sure that everything was going well. He is a very nice man and easy to talk to. We will definitely stay again.

Perfect accommodations
Frank’s condo was perfect for our stay. It is very nice and spotlessly clean. It has everything you’ll need for a great trip to the beach. Located just across the street from Crystal Beach public access it’s only steps away from white sand and crystal water. From the patio you get nice views of the water and also views of the pool. It is very well equipped and has a comfortable queen bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed. Frank is a great communicator and you’ll be assured he’s easy to reach for any questions. He makes you feel like a friend rather than just a tenant. It was a pleasure staying in this unit and we will definitely return. You will not regret choosing this for your stay.

Amazing beach 1 row back
We really had a great time - public beach entrance with a life guard, just cross the street. I have been to beaches all over the us, and the water clarity here was amazing. We could see our toes in neck deep water.
 

Condo was AMAZING!!!
The condo that we stayed at in Destin, Grand Caribbean East, was perfect. Frank, the owner, was awesome and made the whole process from booking, to check-in, the stay, the check-out, flawless. He checked in on us numerous times to make sure everything was going smoothly for us and we were enjoying our vacation. The view was spectacular. The condo was just as described on VRBO. It is fully stocked with dishes, linens, furniture, amenities, you name it and it was provided. The next time we go to Destin there is no doubt we will be staying in this unit again. Thank you, Frank, for your availability, sincerity, and hospitality. Our stayed went off without a hitch and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Matthew Parker

We had a great time! This was a great location. Right across the street from the beach. Frank was super nice and made sure we had a great experience.

We have stayed at GCE a few times, the location is great with close beach access. Frank was great to work with, very attentive, helpful and made sure we had what we needed. Room was well equipped and clean upon arrival. Thanks Frank!

We had an amazing time at this condo on Crystal Beach! Frank was amazing and checked in on us to make sure everything was perfect. Amazing location and great place to stay.
 

Amazing place close to beach
This condo was so inviting and Frank is so nice and helpful! You can see the beach and it's just a walk across the street! The beach here is so beautiful and the area is safe and so beautiful!!! You won't be disappointed
 

Wonderful!!
Frank was the absolute best host. The unit was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely rent again.

Our condo was amazing. The manager Frank Novak was very kind and helpful. He checked up on us through out our stay and immediately helped if there was an issue. He made you feel like a part of his family. The condo had everything we needed. From dishes to laundry detergent. The beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. Just a walk across the street to the beach. We will definitely stay here again for our next visit.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this experienced was for our family. Frank was the absolute best! He went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. The beach and the condo were beautifully maintained! I really am overwhelmed by the kindness showed by Frank and the loveliness of the property! You would be remiss to pass up the oppertunity to stay here!!

xcellent location
It a very nice condo and quiet. Frank was very helpful and gave us some wonderful things to check out and do. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again.
 

My wife and I have been coming to Florida for the past 10 years at Christmas to relax and get away. This was by far /the best of all those times. Frank was the most polite and courteous owner you will ever have the opportunity to deal with. Frank went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect for our stay in his Condo. Highly recommend, you will never regret it. Than you Frank for the Hospitality you showed us!!!

A Perfect place to stay!
The beach was just across the street for our relaxing days in the sun! It was very convenient to catch those beautiful sunsets that we love! The condo was clean and comfy! The master bed was very comfortable. The condo was well equipped with most everything you need for your stay! We will definitely stay here again, and not to mention it’s so close to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores! Frank is a great guy to deal with and we are so appreciative for his attentiveness.
 

This property was perfect! We came to Destin for a week stay to relax. And it did not disappoint. The condo was perfect. The owner was fantastic to deal with and always responsive. The location to the beach is a 1 minute walk....Thank you Frank for your warm welcome. Highly recommend. We will be back!!!

We rented this property for 6 days! It’s in immaculate condition, well maintained, and across the street from the beach! You can’t beat it! The owner’s hospitality is unparalleled. He was friendly, accommodating, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Excellent stay at this condo
This was a very nice condo, well stocked with everything one would need, and in a very good location, a short walk across a two-lane road to the beach. The owner makes a great effort to be sure everything is okay during your stay, and we had a great time; really appreciated the opportunity to stay here. And the bed was really comfortable too!

This property was better than advertised. From the start, the owner was super friendly and made himself available by phone at any time. The unit is across the street from the beach. They have been thru this process before and covered everything in advance so we were able to find the property and gain access without issue. There seemed to be plenty of available parking. If you are an active person, there is also a walkway/greenway that crosses thru the property and runs along the beach for several miles. Great for a run or cruising on a bike. It was our first visit to Destin and the owner provided us with some helpful suggestions were the highlights of our trip. The area around the property is very relaxed and beachy. We truly enjoyed this property, the owner, and the area and will definitely visit again.

This condo is very nice and has everything you need. The whole complex is nice and The grounds and pool are well kept and clean Frank, the owner is super helpful with anything you need while there. The water at the beach was crystal clear and we had great weather, so it was a wonderful trip all the way around. Thanks, Frank!

We enjoyed our stay in the apartment. The apartment is well equipped and clean. The owner, Frank very nice gentlemen always attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the beautiful views from the balcony. I will gladly stay there again.
 

Everything was just as advertised. Frank, the owner, was in contact with us before, during and after our stay. We never had such personal attention before. Condo was clean and ready to live in from the first minute we entered the condo. This is a great condo, at a great price, and we are in the process of a future booking. Thank you, Frank!

Condo was very clean well equipped and a good location Frank the owner of the condo was so helpful and every phone call he answered immediately I really appreciate and thank you Frank for allowing stay in your beautiful condo

It was everything as advertised, close to everything and right across from the beach. Frank called is on our first day there to make sure we made it. And again on our last day to see how everything was. His beach chairs where a plus and is best to leave them in your car. We will definitely stay there again on the next visit. You won’t be dissapointed.
 

This was one of the best and most affordable places we have ever stayed in Destin and we have been staying in Destin for years. The owner, Frank, was the kindest and most attentive owner I have ever worked with. It felt more like talking to an old friend or family member than someone I didn’t know. The condo is literally steps from the beach and has all the amenities you would need during your stay. It was clean and cozy! We will definitely be staying here again. You absolutely cannot go wrong if you choose to stay in this condo!! Thanks for everything, Mr. Novak!!!!!

this co do is exactly as advertised. Clean, well furnished and great location. Frank was very helpful with anything we needed. Talked with us upon arrival and on the last day to ensure everything went well. He is a very accommodating host! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more! The beach chairs and umbrella were a nice addition when flying in. The bed was super comfy and was a clean co venient unit! Would highly recommend! Thanks Frank for a great week at the beach!

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our time at Frank’s condo! Pictures and reviews are spot on- views, amenities, location, and attentive helpful owner. Frank really goes out of his way to welcome you to his condo- he is available for any question you may have along the way. Little things the condo had- Ziplock bags, Dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent- made my shopping list shorter upon arrival. The pool was clean and provided the kids with hours of fun. The beach access was across the street and it was simple enough to stop at the condo building’s outdoor shower and get all that pesky sand off. We also explored some other beaches in the area and it was nice to have the option to take along the provided beach chairs and umbrella. Shopping at Destin Commons and Silver Sands Factory Outlets were close and offered a lot of choices on stores. On the suggestion of a few nice families we met at the pool we ate at Fudpuckers- that was a fun place for all! Morning walks to Camille’s for smoothie’s, Coffee, and a baked good were a tasty way to enjoy the cute neighborhood. Such a fun week- thank you again Frank!

I rented from Frank last week. The place was perfect for my little family of 4. The condo was in great condition and very clean and well accommodated. The beach is only steps away and very convenient. Great pool for the kids. The location is perfect very close to shops and restaurants. Frank is very responsive. He checked on us several times and made sure everything was taken care of. Thanks Frank for allowing us to stay at your condo. I had a great experience, and highly recommend your condo.

All about the experience was easy. From booking to checking in to checking out. What you see on the site is what you get! Very easy process and the best owner!

Stayed at franks condo this year what a beautiful place and location well laid out clean and comfortable great pool close to all shopping malls groceries and fine restaurants not to mention the beautiful white sand beach’s and a great relaxing area to walk felt very safe thanks frank we will be coming again glen and valerie bradow March 2020

Destin Beach View Condo
This condo on Scenic Hwy 98 was a perfect location. It is a few blocks from Destin Commons, which has shops and restaurants. Crystal Beach is just across the road where you can walk on public access ramp to the beach. There are restaurants close enough to walk to. The condo would be a good size for a family of 4. It was fully stocked with essential cooking utensils plus some basic grocery items (salt, pepper, paper towels, toilet tissue, hand soap, garbage bags, etc). The unit was very clean. The king bed was very comfortable, the sofa and chairs in the living room were comfortable as well. It was nice to be able to sit on the balcony in the mornings with our coffee while looking at the ocean. The beach chairs provided were nice and we kept them in the trunk of our car as Frank suggested, a great idea. We had no issues during our stay. Frank called our first day giving us great suggestions on things to do and our last day to see if all went well during our stay. If we are ever back in Destin, we would definitely reserve this unit

Great place!
We stayed 6 days and 5 nights. This property is GREAT. Not only is it beautiful, its right across the road from the beach. Frank was a huge help with everything. He called to make sure everyhing was in order upon arrival and he even called to ensure we made it home safely! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our first week as a married couple. 100/100 recommend this to anyone thinking of visiting the Destin area. We will be staying here again and again. THANK YOU, Frank!

The location was perfect. Frank was so accommodating to us, made sure we made it ok and that the condo was clean. Thank you Frank for your hospitality. Sincerely The Boyett Family

Frank was an absolute pleasure to deal with. The condo is fully stocked with anything you may need for vacation. There is also chairs, beach toys, floats, etc. for you to use. I loved the location, it is close to everything.

We had a great time vacationing at Frank’s condo. We loved the ocean view, hot tub, pool, and the fact that the beach access was right across the street. The location of the complex was perfect, close to everything you could need! Frank was a gracious host and was just a phone call away if needed. He even called when we first booked to introduce himself. It was nice not having to go through a third

Really enjoyed the stay. Everything was ready to go with our stay. Frank was on top of everything we needed. Highly recommend

Comfortable, relaxing, best equipped rental we’ve had in Destin, across the street from beach. Outstanding, very engaging and caring owner, who was a pleasure to work with throughout the rental process. Highly recommended!

Great for couples or families. This is the perfect location to relax, unwind and play. Wake up to a view of the beach, palm trees, pool and people strolling, jogging or biking. The biggest decision is to join them or go back to your coffee on the deck. Spend the afternoon enjoying the beautiful beach and deciding on which of the wonderful restaurants you will dine at . . . or just decide to stay back to BBQ or prepare a meal in the fully equipped condo. Frank is a generous host and very easy to work with. Could not have enjoyed our time more!

Wonderful Stay!
Condo unit is well maintained. The photos of the property and views of the ocean are exactly as they appear on VRBO. Frank was great! He was responsive and checked in periodically to see how things were and gave us a few ideas on where to go/what to do. We preferred to go to the public beach access just east of the condo because it was a shorter walk to carry your beach stuff as you park right next to the beach. And, just as Frank suggests, leave everything but towels and coolers in your car for next beach day. Overall great stay! Go to Mcguires, Boshamps and Mimmos for great food. Lulus was best for frozen drinks

Cute condo. Loved the decor. Easy beach access which is nice Bc you don’t have to worry about parking. Condo includes an umbrella and 3 beach chairs.

Frank was a fabulous host! The condo had everything we needed and was close to everything. Breakfast on the porch, watching the ocean and dolphins was perfect! So thankful we found this gem! Thanks for everything, Frank! We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic Frank and Grand Caribbean East, Destin
This property was just what we needed, with protected pool (yet in the sun) and Jacuzzi to escape the double red flag wind warnings on Destin beaches. Frank was incredibly understanding when we were two days late on arrival, allowing us to extend our stay two days on the other end. The beaches are beautiful white sand with potential for incredible walks at the end of your day. Extremely comfortable condo - couldn't think of anything missing to make it better. Even a blender in the cupboard to whiz up a favorite mango frozen drink

LOVE THIS PLACE!
I wish I had found this place years ago. Frank is a pleasure to work with! This condo is the most comfortable and home like place I have ever stayed at. Every time I needed something....He already had it provided. The view from the L shaped balcony is excellent. The pool is heated to 80 during cold season and the hot tub was so nice. Great hours too, 9am to 10pm. Hot tub and a glass of wine is an excellent way to end the day. He has a Kuerig machine so be sure and bring your favorite K-pods. I will always try to stay here when we come to Destin. Kenny D's is right down the street if you need a good gumbo fix. Thanks Frank!

I have been coming to Destin and renting condos for many years. I wish I had found Frank's condo long ago. I have never felt so comfortable in a rented condo! Every time we thought we might need something...It was already provided. There is a Kuerig machine so be sure and bring your favorite K-cups. The view from the end of the L shaped balcony is excellent and we had our morning coffee there. The pool is heated and the hot tub was so nice and great hours..9am to 10pm. Frank is so easy to work with. Every time I head down to Destin...You can bet I will be trying to reserve this place. Thanks Frank for making our stay so wonderful.

We stayed in Frank´s Condo for 2 weeks in Oct / 2018. Had a great time there. Condo is very clean and the kittchen is well stocked ( including chairs and umbrella ). The location is great.Frank is a very nice and correct guy. We had to move to Alabama for two days ( Hurricane Michael ). When we came back Frank wanted to pay us back 250 US Dollar for our costs we had in Alabama. Is that not amazing ? Again, he´s a incredible nice person.We can gladly recommend this wonderful Condo.

Mr. Novak's place was beyond what we expected. Everything was perfect from the comfortable beds to stock kitchen, to how clean it was. Me and my wife cannot wait to go back to Destin and hopefully stay here again. Last I would like to thank Mr. Novak for allowing us to move our dates back a few days due to hurricane Florence.

Our family of 4 returns year after year due to the location, equipt condo, and attentive, caring owner.

Frank's vacation rental is one of the nicest and most cared for properties I have stayed in. You can tell he has pride is providing a well-stocked, clean, and wonderfully decorated home for others to enjoy. The location is great (and the view will be even better once those palm trees off the balcony grow a bit higher). The kitchen was very well-stocked which is a huge plus when vacationing. The furniture and master bed were way more comfortable than other properties in the same complex. Frank's handy little helpful notes that he leaves around the home are proof that he wants you to enjoy yourself. The laundry room was also well-stocked which was a plus. Overall, very attentive property owner and lovely place to vacation. We'll definitely be back next year.

The condo was perfect for my family. It was like we were right at home. The condo was more than we could ask for. We loved our visit and hope to visit again sometime soon. Thanks Frank and family for allowing us to stay in your beautiful beach home.

Property was very clean and well stocked. We were really comfortable here and the area is very nice. Just a short drive to restaurants and shops, and walk across the street to the beach. The price is reasonable and Frank is a really nice guy. I would not hesitate to stay again in the future. My wife and I really enjoyed it!

Would definately stay here again. Lots to do for kids and families.

I have had such a phenomenal experience with Frank and his condo, that I have returned year after year! This condo is extremely clean with wonderful updates. While the condo is across the street from the ocean, you still get a wonderful view! This is truly a home away from home- comfortable bed, washer/dryer, lots of towels, dishwasher, stove, and even a Kuerig! I have never had a disappointing experience with this condo as it exceeds my expectations every time.

Beautiful view of the ocean. Very nice place. Definitely recommend staying here

My husband and I spent the month of February 2018 at this condo. It is just as it looks on the pictures. The accommodations are very comfortable and the condo is very clean. I can't think of one thing that we would have needed . Frank is very accessible and will immediately answer any questions that you have. He is very concerned that your needs are being met. The weather was beautiful while we were there. Shops and stores are easily accessible in the area. The beaches are beautiful and the area is excellent for a walking or bike riding. The whole coastline can be explored in a day trip by car. We will definitely be back to this condo. It is in a great location. Thank you Frank for sharing your condo with us. Kim and Wayne

Frank's condo was as described and more. Nice Gulf views. Easy access to the beach. Well equipped kitchen. Quiet area close to stores. Well kept premises. Frank was very easy to work with and responded quickly to our inquiries. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

We would definitely stay here again. Enjoyed it!!

I would like to thank again to Mr. Frank for using his beautiful condo for another vacation last month. Everything in the condo was perfect and the kids love the most the big tv and nice and warm swimming pool. Mr. Frank is always helpful with any issue we might have during our stay. It does feel like a home away from your home. Thank you from whole our family.

We have stayed in Franks's condo several times over the years and it's always a great experience! Frank is very helpful and responsive to messages and calls. Any issues that come up are addressed immediately. We will continue to come back due to his great customer service and the facilities!

Our family of 3 just spent a relaxing week in this condo and we couldn't have been happier! Frank was super great to work with and very accomodating. The condo was clean and stocked with everything you could need for the week. This condo is in a super great location on the east end where it's quiet and traffic is not so bad. We truly enjoyed our first visit to Destin and the gulf shore and cannot wait to visit again in the future. Thank you Frank for everything

Second year staying here. We love Frank's condo! Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. It's a very short walk across the street to the beach and the condo has everything you need during your stay.

Frank is kind, considerate, and very easy to work with.

The condo is very clean, the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need, comfortable beds, and beach chairs and umbrella to use instead of bringing or buying your own.

A few recommendations on restaurants...Merlin's pizza has great pizza and three cheese bread if you want quick and easy. Bric a Brac restaurant is a quirky, fun place to eat and has THE BEST manicotti I've ever tasted. Live music on certain nights and a dance floor.

I highly recommend staying in this condo and a big thank you to Frank for allowing us to rent from him and giving us a great place to stay for a wonderful vacation!!

Right across from beach! Nice view from porch! Relaxing unit, spacious, nicely decorated, and easy access to anything you want. Owner great to work with. We will stay again!

By far the best vacation Ive ever been on. Beautiful would be an understatement. Saw dolphins, a manatee (within 10 ft of us), and sting rays.

The room was amazing! We will definitely be back!

Thanks Frank ;)

We stayed her over spring break. What a beautiful condo right across the street from the beach!!! Very clean and homey!!!! Made my girls and I feel very comfortable!!! Frank went above and beyond making sure we were having a great time checking in with us seeing how things were going. He was very accomidating and I will be staying here again no doubt!!!

Thank You Frank!!! Cheryl Brown and the girls :)

My husband and I just spent our anniversary getaway in Frank's condo. We have stayed at Grand Caribbean, both East and West many times, but this was the first time in this unit. Everything was perfect, from the personal calls from the owner to make sure everything was good to the very clean unit that was stocked with everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here. The views of the gulf were amazing and the condo is located close to all our favorite places in Destin. Thank you Frank! We'll definitely return 😊

I believe the owner of the condo and the condo itself deserves a rating above five stars! First, I need to thank Frank for his hospitality and genuine kindness. The condo on the Home Away website far exceeded our expectations. The condo was immaculate, very well maintained and had all of the extra amenities to make our stay comfortable.The balcony view of the Gulf is gorgeous. The pool and hot tub were a hit with our 5 year old grandchildren. The beach access is right across the street, which was a plus for a family that has little ones. During our visit, Frank recommended the Fishing Rodeo and Harbor Walk. Our grandchildren loved it! We also enjoyed the National Aviation Museum, fishing and dining at several local restaurants. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

This was our family's first big summer vacation and our first time to Destin. We loved everything about this place! The location is perfect and the views were great too! This is a small complex which we like so much better than big high rise condos. The unit is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. We absolutely loved having the washer and dryer in our own unit! There was plenty of room for our family of 5 (3 kids ages 7, 5, & 2). The older two loved the bunk bed in the hallway! Frank is a wonderful owner who will answer any questions and give you any advice and recommendations on the area and things to do there. He is very reliable and easy to get ahold of if needed. We absolutely loved this place and would highly recommend this rental! We can't wait to return!!
