Great location!
The house was great, the location was amazing and the golf cart made the trip even more fun. I would stay in this house again.

Lovely home and great location!
Absolutely loved this house! The location was superb and we were able to use their golf cart to access groceries, restaurants, book store and shopping. They have a lovely private pool, a short walk to the beach and the complimentary beach chairs with umbrella took it to the next level. All the beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. We’ve been coming to Destin for 15 years and this house felt like a home away from home. We will definitely be returning.

Great location and private pool
Location is really good, close to beach. Beach chair service was a great perk. Kitchen fully stocked and comfy beds. Pictures were accurate for house. House was clean and comfortable. As pics show it’s a little dated in decor/finishes, but again accurately represented. Heater on pool worked great for 65 degree spring days. Didn’t know the owner lived on-site when booking, but it was not intrusive (and they were very kind). Lots of spring breakers in the area, but sheriff did a good job monitoring. Would stay again with our family.

Kathy, Thank you for your review of our Crystal Beach home, A Wave from it All. The home was left in immaculate condition after your departure and we appreciate that. In the description, we do mention that the homeowner's occupy the carriage house. We are happy you enjoyed the new pool heater that was just installed. We hope to see you again soon!

Great Family Trip
The house was very cozy and comfy. Enjoyed days and nights by the private pool. The beach access with the golf cart was super easy. Loved the neighborhood and convenience to the grocery, dining, and shops in town. We had a great trip and made lots of memories.

Nice place for family and close to the beach
Very nice and clean place to stay. Would’ve been nice if there were general things like salt, pepper, sugar, tin foil, condiments, and more toilet paper. We enjoyed our stay and left some salt/pepper/extra toilet paper ☺️

Perfect family beach house
The property was PERFECT for our family of 8 — 3 couples; infant; toddler. We would love to come back again. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with cooking utensils — including a crock pot. I cannot express enough how great of a house this is for a family vacation. Only a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. Large size kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are roomy! Balcony wraps around half of the house with a great view. Nice, clean and friendly neighborhood. Pool was kept clean with plenty of seating and kids toys — also can catch plenty of sun by the pool all day. Propane gas grill pool-side worked great for us cooking steaks! The front yard has wonderful greenery which can keep you cool — enjoy coffee in the morning on the front porch while looking at the greenery and while your little ones play in the “Forrest”.

Solid place to stay with great property management
Overall the experience was very good. The property was as described and the pool was a valuable amenity (very clean). The beach service and the proximity to the beach were great too! The location was away from all of the hubbub of town, but still offered a nice retreat from the craziness of the area. It was not far from the restaurants and bars. There are two items which had me take away one star from my experience. 1. The outside decking was very sketchy with many gaps and very aged wood (consistent with other reviewers) 2. I found it very odd that the owners of the property lived in the garage during our stay. They were very nice people, but it felt like we lacked privacy other properties would offer. I would be remiss if I didn’t by name mention Frangista Beach Properties for their constant communication, easy checking/out, and hospitality. I would highly recommend working with them. With a little upgrading/maintenance this place would be a full 5 star stay!

Joseph, Thank you for your review. In the description of this property, we do let our guests know that the owners occupy the cottage behind the house. They are aware of the decking and have plans to get it fixed but the house has been fully booked since January. They are hoping to take care of this over the winter. We appreciate you recognizing our company and hard working staff and hope to see you again soon! Frangista Beach Properties

A Wave from it all
The house is located a short walk to the beach and located close to groceries and restaurants without being in a crazy busy part of Destin. The furnishings need updating but the house was clean and it was great having 3 full bathrooms. The pool is smaller than anticipated from the picture and a bit old but plenty of seating and very relaxing. Glad we had the pool cause the riptide kept the beach closed for swimming 4 of our 7 day stay.

Wonderful hosts great location
Sorry for the late review we really enjoyed spending the holidays in Destin at your property. The owners are super friendly, very attentive to any issues (which we had none) and checked in to make sure we were happy. They were most generous to drop off a nice holiday care/gift package for our family which was very appreciated. Cannot beat the location 4 houses from scenic 98 (ocean blvd). Can walk to many places and beach access is literally 300 yards away. The 2nd floor deck provides a great view of the ocean and breezes from the ocean. Pet friendly with plenty of places to walk the dog. We will book here again when visiting. thank you.

Great time in Destin!
A Wave From it All met our expectations! Our family enjoyed the patio and pool as well as the spaciousness of the house and the short walks to the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked with the necessary utensils, dinner plates, glasses and other cooking essentials for us to enjoys meals at the house without having to go to crowded restaurants. One recommendation we have is additional safety bars in the showers to assist getting in and out of the “deep” bathtubs. We will definitely consider A Wave From it All For our housing needs when traveling to Destin in the future.

We loved the inground pool, short walk to the beach, close places to eat. Wonderful experience.
We loved that it was a short walk to the beach. Also loved that the Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel among other places were so close. We also loved having our own inground pool. It was our first time there and can’t wait to go back.

Great location!
We rented over 4th of July week and had an amazing time. Close to the beach about 2 to 3 min stroll. Close to shopping and restaurants as well. Great view of the Destin Commons fireworks as well. Beaches are great and the courtesy umbrella set up already saves a place for you. Can't wait to come back!

This house was amazing. Everything we were looking for and felt the price was reasonable. Very short walk to the beach. The private pool was also very nice. Would highly recommend this house to those staying with children or just a bunch of friends.
