Windancer 101

Owen Longest

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here over the Labor Day weekend. The location was perfect, right on the beach which was what we were looking for. The only drawback is that the condo looks out onto the pool area. We would stay here again.

It was a fine experience. There was construction going on which severely limited parking. Our rental neighbors were exceptionally noisy late at night but overall, would stay here again.

After staying in Sandestin the previous week I appreciated the location of Windancer so much more. Chair guy was very accommodating & we had plenty of space on the beach.

I have 2 small kids & wanted to vacuum the living room rug, but the vaccum in the unit wasn't in good condition. I also noticed other visitors placed trash in the landscaping beside our patio & outside our other door under the stairs.

Enjoyed our stay. Location is great. Condo is nice and not outdated. There are some things that could be better. Internet was pretty much nonexistent from the condo, bathroom door doesn’t latch, and dryer lint screen is either burnt through or rusted through. Also, right outside our front door seemed to be a place where trash would gather (beer can, exit sign). Pool was great and it was nice having access to a grill. Really enjoyed grilling in the evening while looking out at the beautiful gulf. We would go back.

We were pleased with our accommodations. I had no concerns about COVID-19, as the unit was spotless, with adequate towels. We met some others from our home state and enjoyed chatting with them at the beach. I loved the proximity to Silver Sands Outlet mall! Although many of the stores were not open, the primary stores I wanted to shop were open. There was a Winn-Dixie store within a block. The only drawback was the road construction. We had to allow extra time to travel to Destin dining spots. Maintenance was quick to respond when shutters for the sliding doors came off the track. The condo was recently remodeled with new appliances in the kitchen. The only problem I encountered was the washer/dryer unit was old and the lint filter appeared not to have been cleaned out often, resulting in the mesh lint trap being rusted and needing to be replaced. I certainly would consider staying at Windancer again, and can recommend it to friends. Thank you for a wonderful week!

The overall experience was disappointing.

At a time of pandemic, we were surprised at the substandard level of cleanliness--significant dust on bathroom fixtures, a dirty pair of underwear left in a dresser drawer, food-encrusted silver and dishware, sand on the seats of bar stools, etc.

The quality and condition of kitchenware, accessories, fixtures, linens, etc. left much to be desired--bent forks, odd-lot unmatched and insufficient glassware, shutter slats detached from the push-rods, burnt-out light bulbs in multiple lamps, ragged and threadbare towels.

Not a management issue, but the proximity of this property to a public beach access adversely impacts the quiet enjoyment of the area's greatest natural asset, and the reason we have been visiting the Miramar Beach area each October for well over a decade--the beach.

In that time, we have stayed in various properties, but this was our first time at this one--and it will assuredly be the last.

Loved our stay at this place! Nice convenience to the beach and pool! Would love to come again

Great condo, with amazing master bedroom and bathroom, all updated, so pretty! Full 2nd bathroom is beautiful also. Large kitchen, great appliances, great island is perfect for eating and preparing. Close beach access, with chairs waiting for you! Larger pool than expected, super clean and plenty of chairs. We loved the location near the grocery store and main highway! Parking is right outside the door, and being on the first floor was soooo nice! Very conveinent to the pool and beach.

The unit was great. Close to everything in town and the beach access is outstanding. Will definitely be going back.

Windancer was everything it advertised. It was Clean and nicely decorated. It was just steps to the beach and near the outlet mall. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay.

What a great location! This hround floor condo is right in front of the pool, which does diminish the view out the back windows, but truly, we weren’t inside enough to care that much. The placement also fequires you to walk the most to get to the boardwalk, but really not that big of a deal. The trade off is that people aren’t walking past your porch constantly, which was perfect for us! The condo is nice. The dryer did take two complete cycles to dry anything, and yes, that’s with a clean filter. That was so minor for us! You’ll enjoy your stay, here!

The weather and condo were fantastic! Enjoyed the two bathrooms and beach facilities. I would recommend this unit to anyone who likes to have fun.

This condo was very nice, and very clean. My only complaint would be the view. It appeared in the add that you could see the pool and the ocean from the room, but the ocean view was blocked by the pool. Other than that, the stay was great. The area is beautiful with great restaurants all around. The outlet mall close by was also great for shopping.

We were loooking or something with easy access to the beach and family activities and this was perfect.
The condo was within steps to the pool which was great because there were several days that the weather kept us from going in the ocean. It was a very short walk to the beach. The beach wasn't crowded at all since there was no public access. Beach service was great and convenient.
The condo was clean, updated and more than enough space for our family of four. The two bathrooms was a nice addition.
Communication was fast and efficient. We would not hesitate to stay here or in any other rental from Crystal Waters

It was decent. No major complaints. Definitely needs updated, need to add a shower to the master bathroom, not just a jet tub, the air didn't cool as well as we thought it should and the pull out on the couch is bowed in the middle and needs changed out.

This was a nice little beach condo. The condo was a little dated but clean and well kept. It had a keyless entry which was nice for access. The only downside was there wasn't a lot of auditory privacy. There was construction right next door Monday- Friday that made sleeping past 8 am impossible.

We had a great time. Really enjoyed the 1st floor because the girls had extra room to play. Could not see ocean water but I did know that when booked. We would stay again for sure.

We had an amazing time staying at the Windancer 101. I absolutely love staying on a ground level. You walk out the back door and there is the pool and take a few more steps to get to the beach. Not having to haul your gear up and down stairs is so nice. Plus our 9 yr old could walk up to the condo safely and we could stay on the beach. The condo is so cute inside. Love the beachy feel. The bed is very comfortable and we all loved the Jacuzzi tub! There are plenty of towels and the washer and dryer work great. I loved having the 101 because there was no traffic in front of the condo. Although the view of the beach is obstructed by the pool and fencing the quite is much appreciated. We stay on the beach from 9am to as late as possible anyway so we view the beach that way. It's nice at the end of the day to go back and chill on the couch without a lot of guests walking by and looking in your condo. Tyler was very helpful and even helped me get my vehicle to a reputable place to have repair work done. He also was quick to answer emails and get us booked an extra night due to car issues. We will certainly stay at the Windancer 101 again if it is available.

This is our third or fourth time staying at Windancer, but our first time in this unit and first time using Crystal Waters Realty. We were very pleased with both! The unit was very clean and in a great location for us having an infant and an 11 year old. I was very surprised to get a phone call advising is when the unit was ready. I was very pleased with the constant correspondence and will defining be using them again!

This was an absolute perfect place for us. We booked fairly early in advance and got a unit on the bottom floor. This was a very first vacation for our 18 month old and it was perfect location. We were in a corner unit so she got to play and the pool and beach were close enough to come back if she became to tired to stay out. Absolutely loved it. It was clean and nicely decorated for a beach condo.

Condo was perfect for our family. Not overly fancy, but accommodated us nicely and we loved being right on the beach. It was great to have a pool since the Ocean was a little too chilly during out stay. Loved having laundry in the unit so didn't go home to a bunch of laundry to catch up on. Also loved that I could take care of everything using the app! Overall a great experience and recommend.

Our condo was clean, comfortable and beautiful. We felt safe and secure. I'm not recommending anyone do this, but we were on the ground floor facing the ocean and were comfortable going out to the beach without locking up. Beach service was included and there was always enough beach chairs for everyone I saw wanting to use them, not sure how it is in the summer, our visit was in October. The only thing I would change is that the pool was between our unit and the beach and being on the ground floor it blocked the view of the ocean.

the stay was great! everything exceeded our expectations as far as the room went. the only small gripe would be the lack of umbrellas in the pool area. we were very pleased with the cleanliness of everything.

It was a nice condo. It was right on the beach and right by the pool. It was in a very good location close to shopping and restaurants. The place was clean and family friendly. I would stay in this condo again.

Loved it. I was on the ground so, no elevator or stairs for us!! Which was perfect. Loved the patio - the exrra's in walking distance too (like stores) was a great plus. I will be back :)

I love the Wind Dancer, we have stayed there in the past a few years ago, it is still in a great location, with the same great features I like: Close to the ocean, nice pool, walking distance to anything you would need. Other down side-my mother would have liked a table with a umbrella at the pool. No shade at the pool where she could sit and read.
