Beautiful Condo Beach View
The condo was decorated beautifully. The view was amazing and we enjoyed seeing the other pets in the building when we took ours outside. The only thing that we would change is the size of the TV in the room near the kitchen, its a bit to small for older eyes. Otherwise, we would definitely recommend and stay again.

Beautiful Condo
We had a lovely stay. The condo exceeded our expectations with amazing balcony views and great amenities. As 3 adult couples we really enjoyed all having king size beds and our own full baths. The balcony was separate from other condos and was very large and inviting. The living space was large and had many options for seating. Our group enjoys cooking and we were thrilled with the well stocked kitchen! Having a good supply of extra bath towels was also a welcome surprise! It was directly across from the ocean with a great section of private beach, We would definitely stay at this location again.

Fantastic Stay
We were very happy with this condo. Loved all the natural light and the layout worked well for us as we had a little privacy from others that came to visit. We appreciated the location as we were able to walk to quite a few stores and restaurants. The view of the Gulf was fantastic and it was fun to people watch from the balcony. The one thing we would have enjoyed is a dining table/chairs on the balcony. There were ample kitchen supplies and dinnerware in the condo. The beds were quite comfortable. Overall, a fantastic stay!
Julia
We stayed here in room 203 in late July and this condo was great. We were originally suppose to stay in PCB but the condo we rented was not what was depicted online plus it had a urine smell. We were lucky to get a 100% refund and find this place by chance. What a wonderful delight when we walked into the condo and seen how clean it was. It was very spacious and nicely decorate with a very update kitchen. The bedding was very comfortable and for six adults we all had plenty of space. The beach access was just as good as being on the beach. It only takes about 2 minutes and you are in your chairs on the beach. We were so fortunate to find this place at the last minute. We want to thank the condo association for all their help in the matter and we are already ready planning next year’s trip back to this condo with all our families. If you are looking for a clean, spacious, and easy to get around area then this is your condo.

We stayed there with our grown children and grandchild! The condo had minimal decor and was a breath of fresh air. The open floor plan for the kitchen dining and living room was great! We had everything available that we needed and the location was amazing! The balcony had a great view and was huge! Just a walk across the street to a private beach. Checkin was available on time and with ease. Definitely will stay there again! Couldn’t have enjoyed it more! (VRBO Review)

Love the location directly across from beach access. Having the beach chair and umbrella set up a big plus. Condo was as described, very nicely decorated, clean, roomy and awesome. This my second stay at Crystal View and look forward to returning next year. Its grat tha they accept pets, unfortunately I wasn't able to bring my dog this trip but will next year. Highly recommend this property. Thank you. (VRBO Review)

Very nice condo, the view was amazing. Location was perfect to everything. Management responds quickly. I highly recommend this condo. We will be back next year.
Michael
Our family had a wonderful time! The condo was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Great location to the beach, just had to cross the road. Plenty of room for the 6 of us (4 adults & 2 children) where we weren't in anybody's way. Really enjoyed being able to look at the ocean while eating at the table. Would definitely go back!
Liz
Thank you for a great vacation rental. It is a great place, in a great location., and wonderful accommodating hosts.

Everything was amazing! The decor and location were perfect
Natasha
My stay at Crystal View was an amazing experience. It's the perfect location, and you can see the beach from the balcony. The condo was very clean upon arrival, and included almost everything we needed. I'm very happy with my choice to stay at Crystal View. I recommend these condos!
Candy
I initially had reservations to stay at Ormond Beach Florida but only 5 days before our arrival, the owner of the property contacted me and informed me they were cancelling my reservation. I was devastated as this was our first beach trip to Florida with my 3 sons, their wives, and our new granddaughter and 5 days don't give you much time to find something else. I came across this listing and was skeptical at first because it was newly purchased, had no reviews and was undergoing renovations but I took a chance on it and boy am I ever glad I did!!! This condo not only met but greatly exceeded my expectations in every aspect. Plenty of space, beautifully decorated, large balcony, almost no wait at the elevator and LOTS of towels, washcloths and etc. I simply can't say enough positive things about the condo, the owners and the location. As the old saying goes, "Things happen for a reason" and once I arrived at this condo and saw how beautiful it is and once I saw how much more beautiful the beaches are on the Gulf side, my frustrations over the first reservation quickly disappeared. Thank you for welcoming our family and making sure everything was perfect for us. It's my intention to return year after year after year!!!
