First Destin vacation

Great location close to the beach. The windows could have been cleaner. We were a group of 5 so there was plenty of room. The sofa could use updating. Overall a nice place to stay.

Vacation was perfect!! Loved this house, community and location!! Walked across the street to Camille’s every morning for coffee and then across the street to the beach. Can’t wait to return next year. 100% recommend!!! Just a note: do not park past the fence post or you’ll be charged a fee. There’s a sign there. Parking holds 2 vehicles. We had a large pickup truck and normal suv and had plenty of room. We rented bicycles and it was so nice riding around the neighborhood every morning.

Much Needed Vacay

The ideal location for parents with teenagers. They could come and go to the beach as they pleased. Walk to shops, ice-cream parlor , and snacks. Quiet neighborhood. I wish the pool was a little bigger but it was perfect for me.

Adorable and convenient beach house

This was the perfect remote work/relax Beach House! A very short walk to the beach and you can see the water from the top deck. there’s a little restaurant right there at the beach also called Camille‘s that was the perfect hang out for drinks and food. The neighborhood was immaculate, Safe and well lit, and quiet. The little pool was even a great place to hang out and chill and the community pool is directly across from the house. Hope to get to come back here soon! Crystal Shores Beach overall is very clean and accommodating and beautiful.

Lemon Drop Inn was a big hit with our family

The adorable neighborhood and closeness to the beach (2 minute walk) could not be beat! The small private pool at the house was perfect for the 5 year old twins, and we all enjoyed the community pool across the street. So many restaurants close by to choose from too. We watched both the sunrise and sunset a few times because it was so close. One family member was in a wheelchair and we were able to make it work for them in the first floor bedroom.

Great location!

This property was a decent size for 3 couples with a short walk to the public beach access and Camille’s, one of our favorite coffee and eating spots. It was pretty clean with a couple dead bugs on the floor. The pool was small, but we still enjoyed it. The only bummer things were no cable in the bedrooms (we were informed the owner had not renewed) and the coffee pot didn’t work. Otherwise it was great!

Awesome Beach House

We loved the Lemon Drop house!! The private pool was small, but perfect for cooling off after a day at the beach! The kitchen was well socked with everything we needed to cook our meals. Newer appliances. Spacious rooms with 3 full bathrooms! Great sized patio with relaxing chairs throughout the wrap around porches. Very close to the beach, a 2 minute walk! We got the VayKa package and had bikes and beach chairs delivered the morning we arrived to use the entire trip. The community pool is right across the street. We'd definitely stay again!!

Incredible!!

7 off is started at Lemon Drop and we had a fabulous time!! Very close walking distance to the beach (less than 5 minutes) and close to restaurants and stores. Don’t let the size of the pool fool you, it was very refreshing and needed after a long day at the beach. The”room for improvement” I would give is the about… coffee maker: it did not work so we bought coffee from the near by coffee shop. Laundry: bring your own pods and dried sheets to wash and dry Cleaning dishes: no sponge and very little dish detergent Other than that, we would stay here again. We had an amazing stay!!

Book Now!

This place was perfect!! Not a far walk to the beach, great quiet location, convenient to everything and just an over all cute place! This home was pretty clean. There were a few things I seen that needed to be cleaned, but I am extremely picky. The beds were comfy and clean. My husband and I, along with our two kids (22 and 17 yrs old), our daughter’s boyfriend and my mom all were comfortable and had plenty of room. We did not utilize the personal pool. It was a little small for all adults, but that was perfectly ok. The community pool is literally across the street. The only regret is we didn’t book for at least one more night. We really hope to be back soon!! We all would definitely highly recommend The Lemon Drop Inn!

We enjoyed our stay but would have liked more supplies - a few more rolls of TP, some Kleenex, hand soap / pumps in the kitchen and bath. House was lovely but had not been thoroughly dusted or mopped prior to arrival. Beach chairs and beach towels would be appreciated. This house was priced higher than others similar and nearby. With attention to these points the price would have been acceptable. And the grill was also not in working order / propane out.
