Fun Family Spring Break Trip

The condo was very nicely supplied and furnished. It had everything that you would need for a nice relaxing trip. The location of the condo was great and the kids loved the direct access to the pool. The private hot tub was a bonus. We would highly recommend this to our friends and family and we would stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Great Stay

Condo was exactly as listed and very comfortable to stay in. Our friends and family had a great visit using the pool, hot tub, and lazy river. We had to purchase salt, pepper, spices, coffee, etc. but this may be a change with Covid for safety. We just made another run to the local Publix once we realized those items weren't provided. Can't wait to visit again! Thank you.

Clean and Fun at a Great Location

The property is located just next to Ft Walton with grocery stores and restaurants close. We prefer Destin a little more, but it's less than 10 minutes and you are there too. The condo was very nice, well furnished, plenty of room, and very, very clean. The amenities are all just outside your back door and the bay and beach just a short walk in either direction. The only thing I didn't give five stars on was the accuracy of the listing as it has pictures or a swim up bar and other amenities that are actually next door at The Island and which guests here are no longer able to access. But, other than that...5 stars all the way.

Great for our group!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Destin West. We have stayed in multiple units here through the years and we love this one! We had 10 in our party and it was very sufficient. Staying in the Lanai units is our preference. We love having a hot tub on our porch and being able to walk right out to the lazy river. The walk to the beach is not too far and having access to the garage and the supplies is priceless. The management was readily available to help when needed and offer suggestions. We love this unit!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most amazing time, this condo unit was located at the most amazing spot, right on the ground level with views of the bay and all the fun water activities! Leaving was very difficult, we were 2 adults and 6 kids ages ranging from 18 down to 8. They really enjoyed the marina fishing, the private hot tub and access to the beach just on the other side of a convenient walk over bridge! Location was amazing, kitchen was stocked with whatever supplies we needed to create our thnaksgiving dinner and every thing was beautiful! Can not wait to go back!!! Honestly, paradise!!!

Vacay in Destin West

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was comfortable. The patio needed attention. Cookware & iron needed upgrading. We had to ask for bathroom tissue & hangers for our clothing. They did respond with tissue and hangers after I called. I don’t want to be negative but some attention would improve the condo.

Best of both worlds , bay and beach property!

This unit offers easy access to the lazy river. Well appointed unit. We unfortunately had a lot of rain but enjoyed all the inside space and huge covered lanai. Not to be overlooked, incredible water pressure!In this unit made getting cleaned up a breeze after a day of play!!

Very Nice Place

This condo is very nice and well stocked, beautifully designed. It has plenty of cooking utensils and beach equipment/tents/toys. The location was great and we stayed busy the entire time. It provides walking distance to activities for ex. putt putt, jet ski rentals and restaurants. Our family enjoyed our stay and would rent again in the future.

Great Condo, Good Location, Family Friendly Complex

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo was spacious and had plenty of room to stretch out for our family of 5 and my parents. There were plenty of seats around the dining table and we loved that we could cook and still be a part of the action thanks to the pass-through. The lanai level was perfect and I don't think I'd ever consider staying on an upper floor. Being able to walk right down to the lazy river and pools was fantastic! Our only complaint would be the cleanliness of the condo. I know there are a lot of shortages still thanks to Covid, but pictures were dusty, Cheeto-type finger prints on the walls, and dirty doors, made it feel a little yucky going in. We grabbed some Clorox wipes and wiped down everything including the leather furniture which helped. It's a small enough space that a top-to-bottom cleaning wouldn't take more than an hour to an hour and a half if you're working hard. There were broken toys and sea shells left on the lanai table, which again, no big deal, but made it feel as though it wasn't checked over. The lanai was great to sit on and we used it a lot. My only suggestion would be some lounge chairs. The condo comes with a grill, but the rental agency does not supply propane which is a disappointment and something we didn't know about until it was too late to cancel. We had to carry the empty tank to Tom Thumb to have it replaced for $20. It also comes with a starter supply of cleaning products and about 6 garbage bags. No big deal if you have a car, but for those who are planning on flying, be prepared to bring some or add it to your grocery order. We would definitely stay again because of the location and room to spread out.

Great experience

We had our 8 year and 12 year old and it was perfect for them and us! 5 minute walk to the beach, easy access to the lazy river, and our own private hot tub was amazing! The condo was very nice and spacious. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Tvs in all of the rooms worked great! Couldn't have been happier with our stay!

Beautiful condo with more than enough room for 10+ people. The hot tub on the balcony was AMAZING and the whole resort had a lot of family friendly amenities. The walk to the beach wasn’t bad although it was kind of crowded there. Julie was easily accessible and an amazing host. Only thing is maybe more blankets in the condo and the bathtub drain fixed
