Family Friendly, Amazing Views!

We stayed a week with our 2 kids and a family friend. We enjoyed the spacious condo - it was comfortable and clean, has a great view of the beach and the pool, easy parking and the access to daily beach chairs was a nice amenity! It's walking distance to the Boardwalk and while we didn't spend time on they bay side, it's an easy walk across the bridge to go enjoy a day at the lazy river! Thanks for hosting us, we enjoyed our stay!

It was a great location close to everything but not too crowded.

It was easy for my family especially with my son in a wheelchair. We all had a great time and loved seeing the ocean every morning. Also loved walking to Rockin Tacos a great place to eat. This was the only thing that would be hard to navigate a wheelchair so we did take turns going.

Perfect Vacation!

We stayed in Gulfside unit 308 from 6/4/2022-6/11/2022. The unit was clean, beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. The location is perfect. You can walk to the pier, restaurants, shops, etc. Having the bridge to cross over to the bay side was wonderful. We utilized it many times to get to Rick's on the Island and the docks. If you book this unit, you will not be disappointed!

Exactly as promised!

Great trip and a great place to stay for the week! We came in expecting a tropical storm the first day and was able to get in our room a tad early to miss the rain that ultimately missed us to find a welcoming place to enjoy ourselves for our vacation! Clean very nice and entertainment to keep you busy when resting after spending all day at the beach or pool! Easy access to all the amenities and family used the on site gym and said it had everything they need to workout and more. Great communication all around and will definitely look into staying here next year!

Nice clean and comfy

We loved the condo. It was nice clean and comfortable. Few minor issue that I'm sure Coastal Vibes will address. Guest shower needs to have pipes looked at for slow drainage, they need some extra towels and wash cloths added to the condo and definitely need a new blender. We will definitely return to the condo in the future and highly recommended using Coastal Vibes!

Beautiful & Peaceful

We are a repeat visitor and will be back hopefully very soon! Although, our vacation was very last minute everything was smooth and simple which is just what we needed. As usual there was plenty of sunshine, beach, and pool time. The unit is always clean and well maintained. The new couch is comfy and fabulous and we love the new outside seating and tables. We spent mornings and evenings sitting on the patio watching the waves and enjoying the sounds of the ocean. Everything is beautiful, comfortable and we feel like it's a home away from home. Until next time...

Great stay!

This is my second time booking through Coastal Vibe Vacations and was the second pleasant experience. The condo was beautiful and well-stocked. Beds were comfy as was the sectional couch in the living room. Coastal Vibe is always quick to respond when I email with questions-either before or during the stay. Some additional perks-two beach chairs and an umbrella are included every day with your stay. This would cost $40 per day if it wasn't included. The condo also had beach and pool toys that we were able to use and we appreciated that-buckets, shovels, boogie boards, a football, etc. In general I like the Destin West as it is walking distance to a beach bar next door at The Island Hotel and it is also walking distance to the beach-front restaurants and shops at The Boardwalk. Thanks Coastal Vibe for another great vacation!

5-Star vacation with Coastal Vibes Vacations at Destin West

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation with Coastal Vibes Vacations at Destin West this past June. The condo, the location, and the amenities truly made this a 5-star vacation. We appreciated the roomy condo, the lazy river, the other pools, the beach chairs and umbrella, and the access to the beach. Customer service was excellent - they answered and/or addressed our concerns in a prompt and courteous manner. We highly recommend a vacation with Coastal Vibes and hope to return in the future!
