Things I wish I’d known before booking this condo

This was our family’s first vacation to the Destin area. Property was in a great location in Ft Walton. All communications from the property manager were thorough to ensure that we knew how to access the condo, etc. We are a family of four including two kids (age 8 and 11). Here are some things we encountered that I wish we’d known before booking as we won’t be staying in this condo again…the condo is adjacent to the elevator. On our first night in the condo, there was a lot of noise from people getting on and off. Additionally there is no one to call and appeared to be no security on the gulf side of the property so we had to listen to this very late at night. The master bedroom is at the very front of the condo near the front door. So, all of the hallway noise - you hear it laying in bed at night. The bunk bedroom has no closet or storage. The bunk beds fit our children, but their suitcases and stuff ended up in the living room or other places around the condo. On our first morning in the condo, we encountered an issue with several gnats in the kitchen and a roach was in a cabinet. I reached out to the local contact provided. Kim came later in the afternoon and looked around the kitchen, poured a solution down the sink, and said she would call the exterminator. We didn’t hear anything else the rest of the week. The balcony has no wall to right so you’ll see your neighbors. If we stay at the property again we’ll stay bayside as it is much newer and the pools are much nicer.

About the host

Hosted by Beach Time Vacations LLC

I purchased this condo (#411) as of April 2014. I currently own three condos in the Destin West Gulfside Resort. My other units are #603 and #605. I immediately started a complete renovation project after purchasing and turned this condo into a very nice beach vacation rental. I have continued to maintain and upgrade the property through the years. I want to offer you a nicely decorated unit and a comfortable stay during your visit to Destin West Resort. I welcome and invite you to stay in my condo.

Why they chose this property

The Destin West Beach and Bay Resort is a premiere choice. Being on Okaloosa Island, it is a much better location than the nearby Destin area. You get access to the same beach and amenities of the surrounding area, but without the huge crowds on the streets and on the beach. This location puts you between the cities of Destin and Ft Walton Beach. You have access to all the same activities, restaurants, and beaches. I find the location to be superb and the view is spectacular from this condo.
