Family vacation

We were invited to join other families. They stayed together in a large condo. We stayed alone in ours. It was a great get away as well as a great well equipped little home away from home.

Great location!

We loved our stay here. The condo is nice but only big enough barely for 2 people. Bed was comfortable. Only complaint I have is the rug in the living room is very dangerous as it rolls up and it's a trip hazard. Beautiful beach area and clean sparkling pools. Great place, will stay again!

Wonderful property with lots of amenities such as pool, lazy river, etc. Condo is clean and it was very easy to get additional items such as towels or linens. Office staff was quite accommodating The condo is on the smaller side which was not an issue but I don’t recommend a large group to stay there

Loved the hot tubs and lazy river! Didn’t like the thermostat in our condo; it would reset to 82 several times a day. But it would eventually get cool.

Excellent!

As advertised. Nice, clean space, close to everything. Easy communication with the property owner. Parking was literally steps away from the unit. If I had one “complaint” it would be that I have short legs and it was a little hard to get into the bed because it’s high off the ground.

Accommodations at west Destin

We’ve stayed several times. We usually stay at the Villas on the Gulf side. This year we were surprised to see a fine paint job both inside and out. Made the place look new. We also noticed security checking people going to and coming from the beach making sure they had wrist bands. There was security present at the Lazy River. I hope the leadership will continue to keep up security, it is a necessary element to give renters confidence with safety. Overall we liked what we saw. Destin is a fine vacation spot for sure.t

Great Stay!

The room was clean and as described. The location was great, right by the parking garage, and only one flight of stairs away from the sky bridge. We arrived early and the front desk let us check out wristbands to enjoy the pool while we waited for our room, the rental company was always quick to respond to any questions I had. The garden tub was great for relaxing after long pool and beach days. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed for cooking. The room was the perfect size for our family of 4. The only thing the room could’ve used was a small vacuum, there was a broom in the closet but a vacuum would’ve been nicer for any sand or crumbs on the rugs. We had a great stay and would absolutely stay in this room and with this host again.

Perfect unit for our needs

This unit worked out perfect for our family of four. 2 adults, 2 kids under 12. We did not miss having a bigger unit, as we spent most of our time at one of the many pools, or the beach. Everything was very close. Beach, pools, dining. In fact, we spent 3 of our days walking to the restaurants we ate at. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is large, and that was definitely appreciated. We would stay here again for sure. Oh yeah, as a pleasant surprise is that the island resort next door allows those staying at destin west to use all of their pools and facilities as well. Awesome!

Loved the lazy River!

The grounds were very well kept and the condo is cute. We especially enjoyed the pool at night and the lazy River. The pools were very clean. The room was lacking though. When we got there we noticed that most of the surfaces hadn’t been properly wiped. There were crumbs on the counter and sticky fingerprints on the coffee table. The upholstery on the couch was very dirty and in need of a good cleaning. When we grabbed blankets for the pullout couch from the dresser drawer, we noticed they smelled of urine, so we wound up not using them at all and just used a small blanket we’d brought from home. The door to the porch needs repair as well. We had trouble getting it to lock. If the door was repaired and the condo properly cleaned, it would be a great place to stay.

We were there doing a tropical storm, but there’s so much things to do and other than one of the TVs not working, which sounds petty cause we didn’t watch watch TV. Everything was great. So much to do out there anyway. Fun trip and the room was great.

Great for easy access to the beach and a simple walk over to a lazy river. For the price this time of year I couldn’t be more pleased.

This was our first trip to this area. The pics do not do justice to the view of both the Bay and the Gulf.
