This incredible condo is directly located on the beach with a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. In 2018 the entire condo complex underwent a half a million-dollar renovation project. Included in this renovation: on the rear side of the building facing the beach all support beams, framing, and balcony decking were replaced with Top Choice Water Repellent Treated Lumber with severe weather protection, new balcony cement flooring with curved weather resistant railing, new curved railing in corridors, replaced handrail in stairwells with high-quality attractive metal, replaced decking around pool with beautiful new pavers, resurfaced pool, new elegant pool restrooms, new paint and stucco, and finally all landscaping in front of condo was replaced. State of the art building materials were used according to the latest wind, structural and environmental codes. Unlike other competing condo properties in the area built around the same time, Crystal Villa owners enjoy the peace of mind they will not have to face a major renovation project typical of on the beach properties for many years. The interior of the condo has also recently benefited from a major renovation. As you enter the unit, you will love the new, unique hardwood flooring and bead board lining the hallway. The condo is painted in soothing natural colors and decorated in a joyful, nautical style punctuated by elegant designer touches. The hallway leads into an open kitchen, dining, and living area with a breathtaking view of the sea. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, luxurious white ice granite counter-tops, and hand crafted wood cabinets. The living room comes furnished with a rocking, reclining, genuine leather sofa, an Ethan Allen coffee and end tables, electric fireplace, and smart TV. From the living room you can open the double sliding glass doors that will lead you to a large balcony where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee, a sunset, or perhaps a dolphin frolicking in the emerald waters. The large bedroom in this unit features the exclusive Marriott bed and the exquisite bedroom furniture and accessories were purchased from Z Gallerie. There is additional sleeping in the oversized built-in bunk beds. Adults will appreciate the superior quality mattresses on the bunkbeds, which provide a comfortable night’s sleep. Children will be thrilled with the fun bunk-bed area décor which includes beach themed bedding, wall art, books and toys. The two bathrooms feature designer vessel sinks, mirrors, and lighting and continue the playful nautical theme with the decorations and wall covering. Next to the bathrooms is a new, under warranty, washer and dryer. The highlight of owning a condo at Crystal Villas is that you have a deeded private beach. From March until November there is a security person present who does not allow the public to access any part of the private beach area. This insures you will always have a direct view of the water and you can peacefully relax or read on the beach. Destin Beach is rated as the number 2 beach in the world, which is great for the investor but also brings in enormous amounts of people. Fortunately, Crystal Villas is located in an area of Destin that only has low-rise condos and is within 200 yards of Henderson State Park. Since it is a state park there will never be any development along this mile long stretch of the beach. Therefore, Crystal Beach does not suffer the impact caused from the massive crowds and is the most peaceful area of Destin. For investors, this condo is an incredible investment. It easily rents out in January and February to snowbirds and March through October to vacationers, producing well over $50,000 per year. The association fees are $1,723 per quarter, which includes cable, water, garbage, pest control, landscaping, pool maintenance, and parking lot security. The total for electric in 2017 was $1172.35.
