We’ve stayed at Destin West many times but this was the first time in a penthouse. The views were fantastic! The condo was well appointed with plenty of room for 5 people. Best Beach Getaways was on top of their game as a host. Great way to kick off summer!

We loved the pool and lazy river. We enjoyed the views of the bay and the rooftop 360 degree view. The balcony was wonderful to sit and relax on and enjoy the morning sun and afternoon shade outdoors.

We had a great time at this condo in Destin. Check-in was a breeze. The condo was clean and comfortable. We loved the view from the balcony which overlooked the pool and the bay. There are several restaurants within walking distance and the beach access was not too far.

Hi Keri,
Thanks for the 5 star review! Everything about this condo and the resort are really 5 star. Glad you found it that way.
Our family had a great time but I wish we had known about volleyball week because every evening from 4-11 it was like spring break. Not so kid friendly environment but the condo was amazing and the amenities are a huge draw to come back !! It would be nice to have some beach toys and a cooler at the condo to be able to use. Overall we had a wonderful trip!!!!

Alisha, thank you so much for this review. We will have maintenance look at the mattress to see if maybe the railing has been moved and causing trouble with this mattress. We are glad that you were able to enjoy your stay despite this and we hope to see you back soon.
We absolutely loved the place!! Jim was super responsive and was able to accommodate us with an early check in which was super stellar. It’s close to everything in fort walton and just a quick walk from the boardwalk and the pier. The lazy River was a blast.
I noticed when I read the reviews before booking several people had mentioned the floors being dirty.. this wasn’t the case during our stay. Everything was super clean and the floors were barefoot friendly! Lol. I would definitely stay here again.

Tracy I was in contact with you several time during your stay to update you regarding Covid. At no point did you point out any of the problems you are stating you had. I wish you had since we would have been more than happy to correct anything that needed fixing. We have had no other complaints about the A/C unit but we did have the tech come out and he found nothing amiss with the A/C. Our next guest also stated that they saw no roaches. The condo had just been painted prior to your stay. We had a guest that canceled due to Covid and so the owner had the condo painted prior to your stay. So I am confused about the mention of the dirty walls. Black feet and dirty socks are a continued problem with all owners. Guest bring in their rolling luggage and the luggage carts, go out on the balcony barefoot and all of this tracks in the out side dirt. Our floors are professionally cleaned before season each year and PH 04 was done the first of March. They are also mopped between each guest. We at DestinWestCondos are happy that you at least enjoyed the pools and amenities of DestinWest. I hope that you are doing well during this Covid time and wish you the best. Julie

Everything was as it showed on the pictures. We had the best view of the sunrise and sunset all week. We were there when things started shutting down so we stay at the condo but was able to take advantage of the balcony, pool, hot tub, and best of all the roof top Walking over to the beach was no hassle That was a concern of mine before going. All in all it was a relaxing fun in the sun vacation that will be another great memory Thank you for allowing us to borrow your condo

Nice view and location! Floor was dirty. cleaning people looked as though they have never cleaned the track in the sliding door. wish the had a broom and mop to use. would have been nice if we would have known no coffee comes with makers, I would have brought my own. they don't offer any extras at all. But the view is great! Pool was super cold could not get in, disappointing..we were there at the end of October

Tina, thank you for your feedback. There should have been a mop and broom in the closet, but we will double check this and make sure to get one in there if not. We would have been happy to bring one by. We do provide you with a list in your carefree instructions of what is provided to get you started ahead of time. October is usually the best time to visit, but the weather can be unpredictable, but typically 70-80s in the day and cooler nights. We do have heated pools located on property as well. We do hope that you enjoyed your stay and that you will come back soon to visit.
Overall our stay was nice. The only complaint I had was accessing one side of the condos to the other. It’s a long walk and too many elevator changes. We both were on canes ( me having back surgery last year and my boyfriend getting ready to have knee replacement next month) so getting around was difficult. We will definitely get a ground level next time. I booked the penthouse thinking about the view, and it was wonderful. I loved the lazy river. The waterfall in the main pool didn’t work. It would have been really nice to have a Tiki bar by the pool area. We did like our condo but the mattress was a bit too firm. I would recommend Destin West to my friends.

Filthiest condo I've ever stayed in
Absolutely filthy. The floors turned the bottom of our socks and feet black.
No matter what you cooked or how you cooked it, everything stuck to the pan.
The walls were splattered with what looked like pop or coffee.
The air conditioning unit was unreliable. My husband had to fix it himself.
90% of the cooking/mixing utensils were rusted and in useable.
There were cockroaches.
The grill should be replaced as it is a hazard from all the build up.
The pool are was perfect 👌
I won't return in the future 😔

Enjoyed it but could've been better
On the day of us traveling, I had to call every number I had to reach someone to get check in instructions. I was told they had already been sent to me & check my spam. No they hadn't & it was kinda rude how I was talked to over that. The condo really needs better maintenance as there was rust and seemingly mold in one of the bathrooms. It could've been cleaner. We carry Lysol wipes and went and bought a swiffer for the floor. Not ideal to clean on your vacation when you've spent $3k.. We alerted them about the mold and I added the cleaning part. They didn't care. The communication of the people managing it needs work. The pools are great so the kids really enjoyed them. We couldn't find a couple of items once back home and so I wasn't driving myself crazy looking for nothing I emailed asking if they'd seen them simply so I'd know. I was told they'd ask housekeeping and get back to me. No one ever did and truthfully, I expected this. We ate some meals there but their kitchen isn't stocked well with the appropriate things. They could definitely work on that as well. It wasn't as great as the pictures. It was just mediocre. Meh
