We have been staying at Destin West since 2012 and this is our favorite condo yet! It was fully stocked with everything needed which was a first for us. Everything was clean and upgraded. The master bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in away from home. Our family can’t wait stay in this rental again. I will definitely pack way less than I did because of how stocked it was! The owners replied extremely fast which was another added plus!

Thank you Misty. Yes, we try to make sure our guests have everything they need (we are always looking for any more suggestions or ways to improve). Hope we can host you and your family again!
Our stay was wonderful. The place was just as described. It was easy to access and we loved that the lazy river was right outside the patio. The beach was a quick walk and they even provided a wagon, chairs and an umbrella which made packing so much easier. Josh was great. He was quick to respond and very friendly! We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Patrick! Hope we can host you during year 5!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property while in Destin. The booking process was easy and the owner went above and beyond, providing suggestions for activities and dining in the area The accommodations were well equipped and had everything we could need. We loved having access to gear for our trips to the beach. The wagon, chairs and umbrella made things so much easier and more enjoyable. The many pool/beach towels were also much appreciated.The owner was responsive and helpful with the couple questions that arose while en route and during our stay. He was attentive and accommodating. The property itself was perfect for our family and kids. We picked this unit because of it's first floor location and proximity to the large resort-style pool area. And it was just as expected - so convenient. Being able to walk in/out of the pool area without the elevator was fantastic. We grilled and had meals on the large deck numerous times. The pool area was great during the day. Most evenings it did get quite crowded and loud though. Both our host and property personnel shared this was unusual though. We later found out a large baseball tournament was in town. The significant influx during the evenings were guests who were in town for that. Overall we were very happy and would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

About the host
Hosted by Josh Douglas
We PCS-ed to Eglin AFB in 1999 from Ramstein AB, Germany. So we live here locally. I retired after 32 years of federal service (20 active Air Force, 4 support contractor, and 8 civil service). My wife still works and a loan officer. We use Pelican L05 whenever it's not rented. My family, and especially my 5 grandkids, really love Destin West.
