The neighborhood is very quiet and beautiful. We loved sitting on the patio in the morning drinking our coffee and then sitting on the porch in the evening enjoying a cocktail. The only drawback is the driveway, they give you 4 parking passes but the driveway is just big enough for 2 vehicles. There’s a delicious sushi bar and restaurant within walking distance. My family is already talking about another trip to Destin and we would definitely stay here again.

We came down right after Hurricane Helene and they stayed in contact with me concerning conditions there until our arrival. Overall, our stay was great and I would definitely book here in the future. Very professional, kind, and attentive host.

It had to be you was the perfect place for us! It fit our seven adult party nicely. It never felt cramped or crowded. The walk to the pool and beach was so fast! Especially for those who have difficulties walking longer distances. We can’t wait to come back and stay in the same house or neighborhood.

The house was nice & it was clean. Loved the location to the beach. It would have been nice to have a decent broom/dust pan to sweep up the sand in the house & have rugs by the doors also. Other than that we were happy with our stay.

Great location and short walking distance to the beach and small community pool and convenience of close proximity to stores and grocery was a plus.

The house was beautiful and in one of the cutest, most peaceful neighborhoods at Crystal Beach. Close to everything! The grill wouldn’t work for us, & the beds were a tad hard but overall it was an amazing home in the best part of Destin! We can’t wait till next time!

Thank you for choosing to stay in our beautiful home in the charming Crystal Beach neighborhood at It Had to be You. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed its peaceful ambiance and convenient proximity to everything in Destin.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the grill and the mattress firmness. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, beds can be a bit tricky as personal preferences vary. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer soft. To ensure our guests are comfortable, we are happy to provide extra mattress pads or mattress toppers on your next visit to tailor the bedding to your desired level of comfort.
Regarding the grill, we've taken note of the issue, and our maintenance team has been notified. We want to ensure that your next stay is even more enjoyable, and your feedback is invaluable in this regard.
We can't wait to welcome you back for your next visit to Destin! Remember, as a returning guest when you book DIRECT with Newman-Dailey, you qualify for the Many Happy Returns Discount!

We liked our location of the house. The kitchen was well equipped and there were plenty of linens.. I was very disappointed that the community pool was not heated and I was not able to heat it thru your office. I was told the carpet was going to be replaced since it was pretty dirty. All in all I would rate it a 3.5

Our rental experience once again after so many years was great, from their ordering a crib (set up in requested room) and high chair to having someone come and fix the chirping smoke alarm. The house has a near-perfect location in proximity to great places to eat and shop and within walking distance of so many things, including Camille’s for great coffee, food and entertainment. We love the sidewalks throughout the area. Mere minutes to the beach and tons of places to eat. Thanks again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beach was a block away and the pool was right next to the house. We had a great trip!

For a family of 10 with teenagers and small children, this was the perfect location with tons of room for everyone to have privacy and a spacious room for us to all come together. Very short walk to the beach came as an added plus for quick trips for lunch at our beautiful home away from home.

We loved the house. The property manager was great. The grill that was at the house was falling apart and they brought a brand new one the next morning. The walk to the beach was very short. Only issue and it's a small one is that the pool is smaller than it looks in the pictures but it was still a very nice and clean pool area.

We had a really good time here with our family. This was our first AirBnB experience so I was not sure what to expect. It worked well for us so that the grandparents could have the lower bedroom and we could take over the second floor. There was a maintenance issue but communication about it was prompt and professional. The location is a fabulously easy walk to the beach and has a really nice backyard to relax in.

We are frequent visitors to Destin and crystal beach area. First time staying at this property, and location was superb! Less than 100 steps to the water! And 50 steps to Camilles which is everything you are looking forward in a restaurant! We had a house full of 10 guests -Rooms were large and spacious! Property was clean, and kept no smells and everything needed worked! We did enjoy the rather unique photo findings through out the house if you like Tom Selleck this place is for you! We recommend this property!
