Cute home which the pictures don't do justice. Great location. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect everything!

The location of the Royal Bahamian was very accessible to the beach and we often even found parking at the Public Beach to unload our goods. The house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We invited close friends who also have young children like we do, and everyone had a great time at the pool, house and beach—couldn’t have been better!
Amazing new look

We are repeat guests to the Royal Bahamian and have always loved this beach home. The new look, kitchen, artwork and bedding (and so much more) is just amazing. This is a one of a kind home in the perfect location. We will be back next year and want to thank you for sharing your beach house with our family.
New House

The owners of this beautiful home have spent an endless amount of time over the fall & winter working on an extreme makeover. This home features new custom artwork, new bedding, flat screen televisions and a completely remodeled kitchen. You will truly enjoy your stay at the all new Royal Bahamian where guests are treated as royals of Crystal Beach.
Great Family House

The Royal is great for a large family and offered privacy for everyone. The decor is fun and looks new. The location across from the community pool was nice. The website shows beach access but it is blocks to the beach and not as close as the website would have you think it is...we were not able to bring chairs or other things down to the beach as it was too far. The dryer in the house did not work and they did not fix it while we were there which was really inconvenient with all the wet suits and towels. Careful with the entertainment package - it's not as great as they would like you to believe especially for a large family. You have to enjoy the extras at different times and two or three people at a time to get the most out of it. We had read in a local newspaper that this rental company was offering incentives for people to reserve/keep reservations to the Destin area in the wake of the oil spill yet even when we expressed concern the only offer we got was for them to cancel our reservation.
Manager's Response
Thank you for sharing your comments regarding your vacation at Royal Bahamian. We are please that this home offered the privacy and space that your family needed. The homeowner?s goal is to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome in their home. Their taste in d?cor and continuous upgrades create a fun atmosphere and keep everything looking new. We are very sorry that the distance to the beach was misleading. I will have the copy changed to reflect the distance. Unfortunately, the issue with the dryer required cleaning of a vent pipe underneath the home and was not a quick fix. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused you and certainly hope you will give us the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Please do not hesitate to contact me personally when scheduling your next vacation.

Spring break in Destin.
Reviewed on Thursday, April 15, 2010
We rented Royal Bahamian for spring break at the very last minute after seeing it on the internet. We flew all day and arrived late at night. Thank goodness we ran into Mr. and Mrs. Newman in the parking lot, so that we could get our keys! The house was wonderful, spacious and well appointed. Super location on OceanView Drive, convenient to everything!! We love Crystal Shores and the neighborhood is very inviting and just beautiful. The kitchen had everything and all of the rooms were very colorful; yet, would like to have had more comfortable seating in the living room. We would definitely rent Royal Bahamian again:)
Great place & loc, but...

This is a great place in a great location, close to the beach. I had a great time there.
But for the price, I expected fewer problems. Maybe my standards are too high but when I rent a home like this I expect everything to be relatively clean and functional. That was not the case. Furniture was broken, outdoor shower was broken, irrigation system was broken, kitchen sink plumbing was about to fail, wall paper was peeling off the wall, beach chairs were unserviceable (I threw one out), the outdoor barbeque was a mess (I cleaned it to the best of my ability), there were dead trees in the yard, etc.
I left a long list of things for the real estate company and/or owner to work on. Hopefully it will be ready when it gets rented again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review this property. I also appreciate the time you took to contact us while you were here so that we had the opportunity to repair most of the items during your stay. Immediately upon your departure I went through the home myself and made sure that items we could repair had been taken care of as well as putting together a list for the owner. The home owner was quick to reply, check the home themselves and do any needed repairs as well.
Working together with the owner and maintenance I?m sure you will find this adorable beach home a great place to come back to for your next vacation in Destin. Newman-Dailey and Royal Bahamian look forward to making more vacation memories for you and your family.
We look forward to seeing you at the beach,
