The condo was perfect for our family, and we loved the location. Getting to the beach was easy and the lazy river was very nice. We loved being able to look out at the bay and the pool. The corner balcony was great. We will definitely be back.

Very clean and SPACIOUS, huge balcony, beautiful property. Host was EXTREMELY attentive and responded quickly. Would most definitely give this one a 10 out of 10. Ease of access to the property, wrist bands for amenities, and parking bands is a massive bonus. We walked right in and right out at checkout. Also, the resort workers are also super friendly.

Amazing resort

We had a few issues but the owner was incredibly responsive and repaired the issues as soon as possible. The resort had great amenities that were well taken care of and easy to access. Despite having to leave early due to hurricane threat, it was an amazing vacation and the condo offered great space for my family and a stunning view.

This unit is VERY nice and roomy! The wrap around balcony gave us an excellent view of the sound and the sunrise.All of the amenities and rooms were up to date. In fact, it was like staying in a newly built condo. The host is very responsive and was very helpful with suggestions on where to keep my boat and other local information we needed. I will definitely stay in this unit again!

Nice Unit

We've stayed in many Destin West units over the years. This one was above average quality in terms of wear and tear, and way above average in terms of views from the condo. A nice place to gather with our family.

Perfect for our adult friend group. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath. Kitchen fully stocked with cookware, dishes and glasses. Wrap around outdoor patio was the best. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Will be back!
