We loved staying here - wish we had time to stay longer! Home had everything we needed! It was clean, family friendly and had coffee pods for us to use!! Perfect easy access to elevator and pool. We appreciated the wagon, beach chairs and sand toys to use at the beach. Host was quick to respond to the question we had. Would stay here again if we were in the area.

The best girls vacation

We had such a nice time. This condo has all of the amenities you need and the perfect location. It was so convenient to be able to walk straight out the back of the condo to the lazy river. Everything was so comfortable. We enjoyed the covered part of the outdoor space so much while it was raining.

Amazingly Convenient and lovely condo

You cannot find a more lovely and convenient spot if you love a lazy river. We really enjoyed the ease of running to the lazy river for a few rounds and back inside for another! Having the private grill was also handy and the huge bar in the kitchen made for lots of room! We hung out on the patio furniture a lot also. One special note…we did have adults and one child sleep in the bunk room and while it’s not great for suitcases etc, it slept just fine for us. Will definitely keep this one saved for next time!

Awesome location, cozy condo

Josh was a very responsive host. The stay was just shy of perfect. The condo is in a great location, the beds are very comfortable, condo is well appointed. We were slightly disappointed to find the Traeger grill cover was just a cover and not a Traeger grill. Also, bathrooms need more hooks and a couple of necessities like a wisk in the kitchen would have made it 10/10. Overall, very happy campers.

Excellent Location and Amenities

We've been staying at DW since 2008. This unit was the best we've ever had in terms of location and in condo amenities. We got this specifically to have the outdoor kitchen and grill and that worked out great because we wanted to cook out as much as possible. The inside kitchen had more supplies than I've ever seen anywhere in my 15+ years of vacation rentals around the country. The condo itself was within steps of the lazy river entrance and that was super convenient. Communication with the host was great. Highly recommend this unit for families who love to cook!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Destin West L5. An amazing location adjacent to a lazy river and multiple swimming pools and the bay. Access to the beach was quick and easy. The owners were generous with details including beach towels, cart, chairs and umbrella as well as numerous pool toys//floats, etc. There was plentiful servings of coffee k cups, and more than adequate kitchen utensils, plates, spices, and other necessities. One thing to note, the washing machine had a malfunction during the stay. I was able to quickly message the owner, who immediately responded and sent out a repair man within one day. The owners are very responsive, communicate well and want to ensure you have the best possible experience. Hands down, I would book again with this property. 5 stars!

Our check in process was painless! So the resort has different buildings all which feature different amenities but each guest has all access to each amenity with your bracelet on. The beach was across the street but there's access in building next to Pelican which is still apart of the resort. Honestly it seemed like a bit of a maze but after the first night, a little walking and mingling, everyone made sense of it all lol. The people were so friendly! The condo itself was clean, beautiful and had all the conveniences without all the tedious rules! We'll definitely be back!

Lovely Condo!

We’ve stayed in several condos at Destin West over the years. This one is by far the nicest and cleanest! On our second day of staying in this one the fridge somehow came unplugged. The owner responded immediately. At the time we didn’t know what the problem was. Grateful it was just a simple issue. It was nice to meet the owner as we’ve never met any owners in the past. This newly and tastefully renovated condo is so well stocked with attention to details. Spice cabinet has just about everything you can think of. We didn’t even have to run out and buy more trash bags or toilet paper. There were plenty. We have a special needs grandson who loves the water. This condo is conveniently located to the pool and lazy river. These little things made our trip even more special and enjoyable. Hope to be back next year.

Great property with lazy river and many pools

We really loved this property and hope to return. It was very well equipped and the first floor location gives you direct access to the large pool, lazy river and several hot tubs. You also have direct access to a gorgeous white sand beach on the ocean side and the boat dock and fishing pear on the bay side. The property managers were very responsive and easy to deal with. The unit has tvs in all bedrooms and the family room. Lots of beach gear and very well equipped kitchen. Good air conditioning Choosing a first floor unit was a great idea. Good parking and very convenient to all the Ft Walton and Destin attractions. The info left on attractions and dining locations was greatly appreciated.

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.
