Great Family Place to Stay!

This is a great location and with amenities! We all enjoyed the pool area! There was a huge lazy river, heated center pool and 2 hot tubs. There is direct access to a bridge that takes you to the beach. The condo was nice end unit and had a great view of the pool and plenty of parking spots. The host always replied quickly if I had any questions. We had a wonderful time, thank you!!

Family Vacation

Had a wonderful time at Destin West! The property was very accessible with the pools on the bayside with the bridge granting access to the beach side. Bayside pools were heated, lazy river was chilly but perfect when the sun was out! The unit was well furnished but needs a little updating.

Great Family Vacation

The condo was cute, clean and a great location to lazy river. Just a short walk to the beach. We've been to Destin West the last 5 summers and this condo was the best! We had an absolute blast with family and friends that stayed at Destin West also.

Great Experience.

This review is more for the owner since we did not end up staying in this room. Right before we were to show up Julie call and upgraded us to another room on the top floor due to an A/C issue. Julie was great and the room was awesome as well. I would think that any room she rents out would be great.

Wonderful!

This vacation property was exactly as pictured, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. We have stayed in multiple VRBOs, and this was the first comfortable master bed we have slept on. The property was very well maintained, and employees constantly checked to ensure those in and around the pool were facility members. I was worried about the potential young springbreaker crowd around my young kids but found this was never an issue. The pool hours and music were regulated by facility staff with professionalism and were never an issue. It was a lovely vacation, and I hope we can return someday.

Another Owner was a Tyrant!

The condo was great! It has plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. I recommend you bring toilet paper because they only left us about 1/4 roll. The pool area was nice except for this lady named Julie. She is one of the owners and would harass everyone as they entered the pool. She even harassed an 8 year old special needs child and argued with the parents about his age. She made the entire week very unpleasant. She had her pool boy come to o our table and lower the umbrella because it was raining. All of our phones and personal items got soaked. It was not windy nor lightening. It would have been great if she wasn’t there to harass people.

The property was great. It was more equipped than we initially thought so that was a great surprise to see all the beach chairs and toys left behind by others! We even added to the collection:) The condo had just enough room for our family of 5.

Beautiful property and space for family fun! We have stayed at multiple units in the complex and have enjoyed them all. HOA is trying to enforce rules at pools and will not allow you to play your own music or play with toys except at designated pools. I appreciate this, yet find it hard to find a spot on the complex to relax and play with kids. Also, enforcement of rules was not consistent so it caused confusion and frustration among guest and staff on the property. One staff member stating she was calling the police! Enjoyed our stay, but will look for a new adventure next year.

Great condo with nice amenities right outside

This condo was super clean and well furnished with everything we needed for our four night stay. Appliances and furniture seem to be newish. The weather wasn't ideal for the beach a couple of the days we were there so staying on the bay side and having quick access to the pool was a plus. We also swam in the bay and it was fun to see little fish all around. Sunrise from the balcony was absolutely beautiful!

Very clean and nice. Everything we needed

The only thing is the mattress on the couch was not comfortable. My daughter had to buy a blow up mattress to sleep on. The dryer didnt work, but they let us use a dryer in another condo until they came to fix it. They also brought us all the towels we needed since we couldnt dry them. They were prompt in fixing things.
