I had the pleasure of spending the month of Dec. at "The Crescent" I have been visiting Destin since 1997 & have stayed in many places. This beautiful Condo is easily my favorite spot! Old scenic Hwy. 98 is within easy walking/biking distance of EVERYTHING! There were several days my car never left the lot. The grounds & property are exceptionally immaculate & comparable to a 5 star resort with the lush tropical vegetation. The heated pool is sparkling clean-my swim felt like bath water! The Condo itself was very clean, spacious & very comfortable. Everything you could possibly need & more! My favorite spot was the large "L" shaped covered balcony with it's sweeping west views. I absolutely loved spending much of my time there outdoors- in any weather! There is a area in the sun which was a perfect spot for reading or watching nature & beach activities. On the cooler days, there is a nice private area off the master bedroom & living room which is sheltered from the wind or rain. You are so close to the shore you can hear the waves break, yet very private! It was so nice to wake from the super comfy. king sized bed & look out the floor to ceiling, sliding glass doors & seeing the sun rising over the sparkling white sand & aqua/turquoise gulf water! All of which can be viewed from almost every room of the unit. I also, enjoyed long daily walks on the cleanest, whitest sandy beach you will find. Or, I could hop on my bike & ride the paved bike path which is just across the lane of the complex. There are several local coffee shops or restaurants who offer delicious "fresh catch of the day" lunch specials. The Surf Hut is right next door & Pompano Joe's is a walk away. Also, in the Destin Harbor- BoShampp's is fantastic! The Harbor is a fun place to shop, walk along the boardwalk & watch the local fishing fleet return with their daily catches, along with many restaurants & entertainment venues. Also, the most beautiful sunsets you will experience anywhere -other than your own private balcony at the condo of course. If you decide to cook at home-the kitchen is well equipped for any type of meal you desire. I can't say enough about this slice of heaven on earth! The complex staff is very accommodating & the owner Jimmy, was the first one to respond to any questions or inquiries I may have had at anytime. My wish is for everyone who reads this review to stay here & have the same wonderful experience of living on the beach in paradise as I did!!
