Top Crab Island Hotel Reviews

Village Inn Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Well I stayed there and had my 1st Hurricane experienced there. Also we lost power..it was out for 36hrs, not too bad at all. They had a generator operating so we can keep our phones charged and also use of the microwave for heating up food. Their main focus was making sure we had clean water and food and they did that. They still had cereal, fruit, bagels, hot coffee even. Great job Village Inn. Of course I'll be back."

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had another wonderful week at Pelican Point. The home is beautiful and very well maintained. Also spotless! Our family is large and 11 of us shared the home very comfortably. We hated to leave!"

Beachfront Condo, gorgeous views, beach access & close to everything

8/10 Good

"The condo was clean. The view was beautiful. A couple details to note.... although the view in the photos show the beach basically in the backyard, one must walk to the street and 20-30 yards down to access it (there is a tall chain-linked fence blocking any possible entrance any closer. The water is crystal clear, however there are jellyfish everywhere. The beach seen is a small beach between jetties. Still beautiful,but not clear in the advertisement.The condo itself is clean,.. a lot of knick knacks everywhere, so beware if you have small children.Beds are comfortable. Balcony is pretty, but could use an umbrella or screen to help with the heat from afternoon sun.If you are staying longer than a weekend, definitely plan to buy more dishsoap,paper towels, and laundry detergent than is provided."

Twin Palms - Beachfront Duplex with Ocean Views

8/10 Good

"Great private spaces to enjoy when traveling with multiple couples, each bedroom had private baths. Loved the private balconies with gorgeous views. Had some issues with the bbq since all of our meal plans required it was a bit of an inconvenience. No igniter switch and barely a half tank of propane so we ran out quickly. The walk to the beach was really tough since the private beach area forces you to go all the way to the end. That got old fast. No swimming pool or use of one was the only real negative for us overall. And the parking was very limited."
