This was our first time staying at this particular condo, second time at Destin West! Overall, we had a positive experience. The property was clean, which made a great first impression. All necessary appliances were included, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking at all of the beautiful views. The sights and sounds of the waves crashing were so relaxing. Be mindful, there is a bunkroom a not a 2nd bedroom. It was notably cramped for my teens but, they managed to make it work without too much trouble. Despite this minor inconvenience, the condo’s other attributes, like its cleanliness, location, amenities and the well-equipped kitchen, helped balance out the experience. We enjoyed our stay!

It was a convenient Uber from Destin airport and everything we needed was already in the unit or a short walk away. We had groceries delivered and there were several good restaurants within walking distance along the beach. (Stewbys off the beach is delicious). The unit was excellent. Clean and with much nicer towels and furnishings than most vacation rentals. The balcony has a view over one of the pools as well as a beautiful view of the gulf and beach. The kitchen has good knives and enough cookware for us to prepare several of our meals there. Check-in was super easy (key code entry) and when I texted the local staff at checkout I received a prompt and friendly response. The Destin West property has multiple pool options (3 different temp levels) plus our kids loved the lazy river. Overall a great rental. The ease of this location and rental made us think we will try to return in the future. ##### Gabi H. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela M. Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Beach location We were very excited about our unit right on the beach. We drove down 14 hours from Illinois. Along the way, my husband became very ill. We arrived a couple of hours early and I went to the local Publix to get meds and Sprite. We waited in parking garage until 4. As we were unloading our vehicle, one of the cleaners approached us and told us that the unit was not ready. I told her it was crucial we get in the unit as my husband was very ill. She told me the beds weren't made and the floors not cleaned. I told her my husband needed to get into the air conditioning and lay down. We were allowed to come in, where my husband laid on the couch and they cleaned around him. Once they finished in the bedroom, my husband moved into there. I do realize it had been a busy holiday weekend and we had unusual circumstances that we needed in the unit right at 4. We really enjoyed the location of the unit, we watched the sun come up every morning and enjoyed breakfast out on the balcony. We loved the fact that 2 beach chairs and umbrella was included, which we utilized daily. The pool right on the property was superb on the hot sunny afternoons. We are considering coming back for the New Years and highly recommend this unit. ##### Pamela M. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alisha a.

Beds were comfortable and linens were good quality. Pool towels were a !!It is advertised as 2 bedroom, but actually one of those is a bunk room that has space for beds only. Just fyi. There isn't a space for their belongings, it's very cramped. They had to put suitcases in the hallway. There were 2 pull out ottoman beds which would be nice for kiddos, we didnt use during our stay. The location of condos were nice and pool area was nice-very large pool which is very important to me. There is a kiddie pool which I felt was a waste since no one used the entire week, but would have been nice to 2 hot-tubs because it was always full. It was nice to have beach chair service included. Saved us room having to travel with chairs/umbrella and pool towels. We had a lot of rain and the water was terrible with June grass, but that's mother nature. Next time, we will most likely stay in Destin just for the location. We ended up in Destin every night either to eat or shop. It's not that far of a drive. ##### Alisha a.

We had another amazing time here. The Unit was very clean and in excellent condition. The view was amazing from our condo and the location of Destin West is perfectly located for all the attractions and restaurants in the Fort Walton and Destin area. Frank and Amanda, the property managers answered all our questions and were very professional and friendly. We will be returning!!!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Galvan G. Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Galvan G.

Beach and property were pristine with plenty of pools on the property and nearby restaurants/shops to keep my family (with an 11 and 13 yr old) busy and entertained. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Mary M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jill G. Mar 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Location / Amentities Quick review. Family of 5 (kids 9-15) stayed here over spring break. - The condo is great, fit all 5 of us with a bit of shuffling at night. Everything is accurate from the listing and it is in great condition. - I've stayed in other places that lacked a lot of essentials. This place did not, it had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. - The view is AMAZING. - The gulf side pool isn't heated, it's huge, so I wouldn't expect it to be. My kids jumped in it regardless, but definitely needed the hot tub there to warm up. - Bay side has 3 heated pools and 2 hot tubs. It is an easy walk across the bridge over there which we did several times. The lazy river isn't heated, but my kids played in it quite a few times and liked the challenge of going in the cold water. The heated pools are very nice and warm and as we found out, you can go in them on cold days and still have fun. - The ocean is easily accessible from this gulf side condo. The beach is beautiful and the water is amazing (if a bit cool during March). You check in and get your name put on chairs which lasts till 5pm. It is an easy process. - A short walk west is the pier and some shops and restaurants. - A very short walk east is a public beach and miles of open beaches/ocean. - Gas station across the street for essentials. - A mile to the west over the bridge is a liquor store and Publix plus a bunch of great bars and restaurants. - This location is "quieter" than the main Destin area with a lot less traffic. Be prepared to sit in traffic going to and from East Destin. But if you stay on the west, it isn't bad at all and it has everything you need. I just wanted to add some salient points about the location and area from the perspective of a family stay. I definitely recommend it. ##### jill G.

The condo was clean and provided comforts of home. The kids loved the bunk room and equally enjoyed having their own bathroom. Just steps from the beach where we spent every day in the white sand. We will be back! ##### Kristin L. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Tony M. Sep 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Our Destin West stay was very nice. We had beautiful weather and the gulf was awesome. Our condo was on the 6th floor so we had great views from the balcony that we enjoyed every morning and evening. The condo had a few hiccups with an appliance but was attentively taken care of. We had a great time and are already planning a return trip. ##### Tony M.
