Grand Caribbean East, 104 of Crystal Beach, Destin Area, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

This was one of the best vacations my family has had in awhile. From start to finish, the owner, Mrs Rita was nothing but GREAT to work with and made things so easy. The condo was perfect, it was very clean and very well prepped with all sheets, pillows and all kitchen utensils and small appliances you could possibly need. It’s literally steps to the beach, the pool is right outside the patio doors! It’s right in the middle of everything that Destin has to offer. We walked to shops and restaurants. We certainly will be back and will not stay anywhere but this condo. Even our kids asked if we could go ahead and book this place again asap! ??

Enjoyed having the Jovicic family and we are looking forward to seeing you all again! Rita & Bryant

I contacted Rita and booked directly with her for a long weekend to enjoy Destin after the crowds have thinned and everything couldn't have been better! The condo is furnished beautifully and with the pool just off the patio and the beach walk-over right across the street, we didn't want to leave!! With Camilles down the street, the grocery store a short drive away as well as the best beaches anywhere, we can't wait to come back ! Thanks Rita

We booked a trip last minute and Rita was quick to respond making our planning easy. She was very responsive to our questions and appreciated her attentiveness! The condo was nicely decorated and recently updated. Just outside the back patio was a hose to wash the sand off before going inside so we didn’t have to wait in line at the shower by the Tarpon Beach access. The beach was literally just steps away! We were thrilled to discover there were beach chairs for us to use so we didn’t have to rent them. We had a great time and are grateful for you opening your vacation home to us!

Thanks Julie! It was great having you and your family! Rita & Bryant

I have been coming to Grand Caribbean since I was a child. I LOVE this neighborhood. 2 minutes from the beach. Slow laid back lifestyle. The condo is beautifully decorated, fully stocked for all your cooking needs, and an AMAZING king mattress. Rita was a pleasure working with and had clear communication. We will be back again. Thank you!

It was great having you Shelley! See you next year, Rita & Bryant

From the immediate response from the original inquiry to rent this condo to the the well stocked kitchen and beautiful updated home with comfortable bedding. This rental comes highly recommend. The location is perfect. Only minutes away from beach and the pool is only steps away. Thank you Rita and Bryant for opening your vacation home to us! We hope to see you soon!

Amy & Ricky: You were great guests and we hope to see you soon as well! Rita & Bryant

I have been vacationing to Destin for 20+ years and have stayed in many complexes but I keep coming back to the Grand Carribean in Crystal Beach. The complex is just the right size for my needs and conveniently located to both the Harbor area as well as 30A. Rita was great to work with and available for any needs. The recent renovation is beautiful. This unit is on the ground floor and close to both the pool deck and the spray off area for cleaning the sand off your chairs and toys. The beach is a short walk across the street and easily accessable. Plenty of parking available close to the door to make grocery shopping a breeze!! Thank you Rita for all your assistance and making my annual Destin trip a memorable one :)

It was great having you Molly and I hope you'll come back! Rita & Bryant

Rita and Bryant were wonderful hosts and have done an amazing job with this condo. Everything is very convenient and having a first floor walkout was fabulous. There is public beach access right across the street. The interior finish out was beautiful and there was everything we needed for our trip. We had a wonderful time!

It was great having you and your family Jessica! Please come back!! Rita & Bryant

My wife and I expressed interest in the condo and within minutes, we were on the phone with Rita! She explained that the condo had just been remodeled and professional pictures were forthcoming. We could not have been happier with the unit or its proximity to the beach, restaurants, and the complex pool for when we wanted to jump in the water without going to the beach. The beach access is right across the street and the pool is just off the patio. The walking/biking path is steps away from the patio, giving us easy access for our morning walk down to Camille's for coffee and a bagel. I hope we can make it back to Destin this Fall! Thanks Rita! Sincerely, Abram
