“I’ve been staying at the Destin West property for about 15 years. This was the best condo by far and I could not recommend enough.” - Loren B.

Loved our condo!
“The condo has the best views of the gulf. It directly faces the Gulf of Mexico and has wonderful views of the gulf. The condo was very clean and was nicely decorated. The kitchen has most if the things you will need to prepare meals, including a nice array of spices. They even had a container of Tony Chachere seasoning! I highly recommend this unit to anyone. We were in Destin to host our family reunion, and my entire family loved our unit because of its location and styling.” - Dolly L.

“This condo was immaculate. Furnishings were great and comfortable! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
I am a clean freak and the entire complex was pristine inside and out. I felt at home and I treated it like I would my own home! Thank you for having us!” - Sharon

“Shelley was a fantastic host! Her house rules were clear and check-in was extremely easy! The view from the huge balcony was breath-taking. Shelley was very responsive and was able to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend and hope to rent from her again soon!” - Erin

Amazing view and management

Our stay was amazing! The condo is just like it is in the picture. The location being right on the ocean is dreamy! The condo was clean and had plenty of towels, kitchen stuff, etc. the pans are a bit worn but still worked. When we went to use the dryer it was not working. A few texts to Shelley and she was great about getting someone to repair the dryer the very next day! She was super helpful and quick to respond! In fact, my husband accidentally left our expensive bed pillows at the condo and Shelley was able to track them down and meet our friends that were in Destin the next week to return them to us! Top notch condo and top notch management! We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent Location/ Beautiful views/Get the best of both worlds with a beautiful balcony!

My husband and I found this place for our 17 year wedding anniversary and we couldn’t have been more happy with the location. The condo has a perfect location upon arrival. If your looking for something no too crowed and low key this is your perfect place! My husband and I are not to crazy about huge crowded places where it’s un-enjoyable to just relax and unwind. This location was just the perfect one for us. We had two others join us mid-vacation and came in on Friday. There is plenty of room for all four of us. Our master bedroom had the most comfortable bed we ever stayed in! This is definitely something we look for when traveling, because at the end of a long day at the beach you just want to have a good nights rest and be refreshed in the morning. My husband even mentioned that was the most comfortable bed and actually wanted to know what brand the mattress was?! Lol! He never says this! The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cooking supplies and utensils that you may need. The butcher block table is amazing also! Gives it a beautiful touch to the kitchen. The living room sofa is very comfortable and the TV is easy to navigate. The balcony- Let’s talk about this beautiful balcony with wonderful views!!! It was like our own little private paradise. I absolutely loved the gorgeous views of water. I laid out in the lounger and listened to the waves roll in and it was so peaceful and perfect. The sliding glass door may need some WD -40 but that’s it. Otherwise perfect

Unforgettable Girls’ Trip

Shelley, thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful condo with us. The condo looked even more beautiful than the pictures online. We had stayed at the condo directly above hers 2 years ago. It was very nice also, but we loved the decor in Shelley’s more. All the beds were comfortable and the condo was very clean. The direct ocean and beach view was beyond incredible and that was our main reason for renting this specific condo. Hearing the ocean waves from your private balcony was truly priceless. Shelley was easily accessible via text throughout our stay and was nice enough to work with us in allowing an early check in due to when our flight came in. She even allowed us to check out two hours late as our flight out of the area wasn’t until 4 PM and she didn’t have new customers arriving that day. We asked for the early check-in and late checkout in advance, so as not to rudely spring something on her. She was very accommodating. You cannot go wrong in renting this condo on beautiful, non-crowded Okaloosa Island. We saw dolphins off our balcony each morning while enjoying breakfast. We enjoyed our one minute walk from our condo onto the beach. Checking in with the beach chair rental guy each day was simple and renting an additional umbrella and chair set up was simple for our party of four. We love that there is less commercialization in Okaloosa Island versus Destin proper and really enjoyed ourselves so much! Make sure you head to the pier at least once during your stay. You can get a stamp and return as many times as you want the same day. We saw a couple sea turtles and several dolphins each time we went out on the pier. The Dolphins like to steal the fish from the fisherman that are reeling their catch up. We walked to restaurants on the beach almost each night. We used Uber for any transportation needs we had, but only used it to and from the airport and when going to Destin one day for lunch at the original Dewey’s and a sunset dolphin cruise with AJ’s Water Adventures, both are highly recommended! Instacart for Publix is very convenient and we had our groceries delivered during our stay. We hope to be back someday. Shelly truly owns a condo on a slice of paradise. It was so hard to leave...
