This home was in a great location. Short walk to the beach. Shorter walk to the pool. Eating places within walking distance. It was ready earlier than expected which was nice. It was clean. Overall we had a great stay. The only issue with the house was a broken door handle. You could still use it as intended it would just fall off sometimes. This was noted before renting they were waiting on parts.
Awesome Times!

This was our first time in the Destin area and was mainly for our adult children and grandchildren. We walked into a very clean and comfortable home with ample room for everyone. We have not stayed in a gated community but it is very secure. You can walked and bike ride without worry. It is convenient to about anything you may need. DG is a short walk as is KENNY Ds restaurant. Shopping centers and a Winn Dixie is a short drive.
The traffic in this area is heavy on 98 but should improve soon once work is complete.
Our 11 people ranged in aged from 2 to 73. All enjoyed stay and would do it again.

The house was exactly as described. 3-4 block walk to the beach. Staff at the beach was fabulous! Restaurant across the street was easy to get to and has good food. Location was close to any kind of shopping, food options. Would recommend staying here if you like to beach it.

We truly enjoyed our home away from home for part of the winter. The accommodations, neighbors, location, amenities, management team were really nice. In fact we liked it all so much, we plan to return. The only negative would be that a gate at each entrance was always open. Would have preferred that the HOA monitored its operation.
Terrific rental property

The community, the home and the location were wonderful. The home was lovely and had plenty of room for our family of 10. The short distance to the beach and the pavilion were a bonus. There was a problem with the disposal before we arrived and we were notified prior to check in. It was fixed within a day and caused no interruption to our vacation. The staff at the gated community were friendly and helpful. Wonderful memories were made at this home. Thank you so much for your home.

I was disappointed in the overall condition of the property and the apparent lack of attention to keeping a rental property in good working order.
- Front door didn't lock and would open just by pushing on it. I called the management company and they said they would come by to lock it for us and to use the side door. I'm not sure if they came by but the door never locked so we tied it shut during our stay to have some sense of security.
- The gas propane tank for the grill was empty. I believe in replacing it if I empty it but it was empty when we got there.
- The wi-fi was spotty at best. I mentioned it to the management company when I called about the front door and the solution was to reset the modem. I did but the connection was still bad.
- The water heater could only heat a bath for my kids (one bath) and then we had to wait before we could shower.
- The chairs in kitchen and counter have fabric and were grossly stained
- The carpet on the stairs is stained and heavily worn
We booked this trip last minute and it was one of few properties available so we had limited choices. I wouldn't book this property again.

Our rental was perfect for our group - 3 small families plus our 2 small dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep in, and move about in the house. It was clean, no funky smell. Furniture a little dated but were in good shape. The kitchen had everything we needed. The washer and dryer a plus. There was also the back of the house where you could grill and hang out. The trees offered some shade. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, only a block from the beach. You could walk to the beach via its private entrance or you can drive there. Saw a public parking area nearby but we never used it. Also just a few minutes from the outlet mall, grocery stores, etc. we had a blast! The property managers were easy to talk to and very prompt. Would definitely stay there again.

The house was very nice and within walking distance to the beach. We walked the beach every morning with our dog (who absolutely loved the top balcony watching everything). Kids spent hours at the beach, we went fishing on the Okaloosa Pier which we saw dolphins, baby shark, stingray, jellyfish it was awesome. Went sailing on AJ's sailboat and saw more dolphins, had an awesome time. The only negative was we thought the main king bed was not very comfortable, but other than that everything was great.

We had a great time. We have been to Emerald Shores each of the last 10 years and this was our first time in this house. The layout of the house was great and there was adequate space. There were a couple of negatives. A tiny television in the master bedroom was hard to see. Also the wifi was not really good since the router was on the 3rd floor. Really bad connectivity. And the grill was in bad shape and not functional. I like to grill when we're in Destin, but not this time. Other than that, everything else was and we will continue coming to Emerald Shores.

The property was in a beautiful neighborhood with nice amenities. We did not like the umbrella service taking up all the first and second row positions and then felt as if we had to rent from the company for a spot at the "private beach". We ended up going to the public beach! Also, the home was not very clean and the master bedroom bed was TERRIBLE. It needs replacing. Overall, our vacation was very nice and Crystal Waters was wonderful to work with but I would check up on the cleaning company.

the property was gorgeous! great restaurants nearby. the beach is a 5 to 10min walk! really loved the top porch, has a great view! has an ample amount of space!
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Helgoland! It is a great house in the best vacation neighborhood along our stretch of beach! The private beach cabana is less than 1/4 mile, maybe a 4 to 5 minute walk for most people! The cabana is private and codes are needed to go onto and up from the beach! There are also 2 pools and a tennis court!

Not a Bad Place to Stay...Just Needs Some Updating

Helgoland was a good place to stay! Great location and in a nice, clean community. It was a very spacious place and had lots of room. Very nice beach access and not a very long walk to the beach. I was disappointed though in some things. This place needs updating. Some of the furniture was very "used" and it was noticeable. Also, pots and pans in the kitchen need to be replaced bad. They are very worn. Dishwasher leaked and it was reported. Towels in the bathroom...there was only bath towels and hand towels. The washer and dryer was up to par...very nice. This is not a bad place to stay, but I just feel that it needs updating and needs some TLC in the decorating department.
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Helgoland. It is a big 3 story house with lots of room. The pots and pans have been replaced! Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We do provide bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. It is too difficult to provide beach and pool towels. The washer and dryer are new and the dishwasher is about a year old.

The home was great. Location was perfect. Our family enjoyed it very much. Check out was at 9am and we had to return the wristbands at 10am to the cabana. We left at 9am like the document said and had to kill an hour before heading back to cabana. Once I got to the cabana, the lady was extremely rude. Other than that Leah was awesome.
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed our home, Helgoland. It is a nice home in a gated neighborhood with nice amenities and close to everything in Destin. The wrist band policy is for the neighborhood amenities and will be tweaked very soon. Spring Break was the first time it was implemented and lessons were learned!

The folks at Crystal Waters made it easy to rent this fun home in the heart of everything! Close to the beach, restaurants and shopping! The house has plenty of room, but compared to some of the others in the same neighborhood it's furnishing needs updating and the carpet on the stairway needs to be deepcleaned, Kitchen is cheaply done.

This was our first time renting in Emerald Shores. It did not disappoint. Helgoland is a spacious and very clean property. The second floor balcony is THE spot for morning coffee. We brought our dogs and the small private backyard was great for them. The walk to the beach is just a few minutes and we put our stuff in the wagon provided, so we didn’t have to carry anything. We had a wonderful time and will definitely try to rent again. Bill and Terry with Crystal Waters were very responsive the one time I called them with a question.
