We absolutely loved our stay at this condo! Beautiful view, lovely pool and comfortable beds. The master shower was amazing and the kids loved having their own area away from our bedroom. The kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes, pots and pans. We will definitely plan to stay here again.

Great location, very clean, and beautiful views and nice amenities. Only thing we wish was different was allowing for early check in where the room is ready (even if for an extra fee).

Great location for beach access and restaurants. The ice maker was not working, but the manager notified us before arrival and provided two bags of ice. Discovered the dryer not working, but it was repaired the next morning. Great management! Westwinds I facility is well maintained.
Great experience with beautiful views! Communication with the management company was really good. One note - there are sensors that will automatically turn off the water if moisture is detected. We called and had it turned back on within a few minutes but good to know in case it’s needed. Thanks for lots of fun memories!

We loved this condo for our family. Very roomy and had such beautiful views. This is our 3rd year booking with this company and they are quick in responses for anything you need. We got to watch 2 fireworks shows from the comfort of our own room.

The unit was great. Very spacious. The pool was a bit too crowded for us and not enough umbrellas. We did see one cockroach, but just one. Overall, very pleased.

Great views
We loved this unit. It was clean and had plenty of space. But, the best part was the huge balcony with ocean views. Would rent it again.
The only thing that needs improving are the cooking pans. They are scratched up and warped on the bottom which made cooking on the electric flat top challenging.

Thanks for staying with My Vacation Haven! We would be happy to host you again!
We loved the beach access and pool access all in one place! The condo was absolutely beautiful - ample closet space. Large stocked kitchen! AC definitely works great on those hot days! Loved that it was at the end of the hall, very minimal traffic noise at all! 4 Elevators, never had a long wait. Everyone we came across were friendly and sweet. Don’t eat at the food court by the pool however! 4 meals and 2 adult beverages was $92 before tip - order in delivery for much cheaper!

Let me start off by saying that this room was everything our family could ask for. Plenty of space and the views were incredible from the 14th floor. And we also enjoyed the high top table on the balcony which provided unobstructed views. Everything was clean and updated. And management kept in touch to make sure our stay was going well. We have been staying at Westwinds for a few years now and would highly recommend this location.

Reviewer Comments:
This was my husband's and I first trip to the beach with our daughter. We always like staying on part of the san destin resort and this rental did not disappoint. It was on the 14th floor which I loved because you are away from alot of the noise downstairs. Very clean and comfy to take afternoon naps after playing on the beach. The only 2 things that were a little off were the way the air conditioner works(very cold on one end of the condo and hot in the master bedroom master by the deck) and the bed in the master was super soft so you should check what people prefer before picking rooms.
