We cannot say enough good things about this condo. It was beautiful and it had everything you would need for vacation. We loved having access to a wagon, chairs and an umbrella for the beach. The beds were so comfortable. The host was amazing. Always checking on us and making sure we were enjoying our stay. We were able to watch the fireworks show from the rooftop hot tub. We enjoyed the lazy river and took advantage of the beach guide the host provided. We had one rainy day while we were there so we took advantage of the puzzles and games in the condo ( we added a few more puzzles to the collection). We will definitely be renting this condo again in the future!

Thank you for the wonderful review! So glad the condo had everything you needed — the wagon, chairs, umbrella, comfy beds — and that the rooftop hot tub gave you great fireworks views. Happy the beach guide, lazy river, and games/puzzles added to your fun (and thanks for adding to the collection). We enjoyed checking in and look forward to hosting you again.

Perfect!

It was a perfect facility. They give you a beach cart with toys etc. The only thing I wish it had that wasn't in there is a cooler. Thank you for the BEST time! We will be back for sure.

All around great experience!

The penthouse was very accommodating and comfortable. Great views from the top deck and very relaxing. Walk to the gulf side was very short. Room was stocked well with everything we needed. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Couldn't have been more pleased with the room and amenities. The pools and lazy river were very nice and clean. Having a personal hot tub and grill was a nice touch and very welcomed by my family. Can't say enough good things about the property and the room itself. Highly recommended!

Amazing Stay, 5 stars all around in PH04

PH04 made our group fall in love with Destin, FL. The communication from Coastal Vibes was very thorough, well in advance, every detail addressed. The rooms were spotless, beds comfortable, brand new hot tub spotless, grill worked great, absolutely zero complaints. We will absolutely be back again, the owners must take pride in this place. We had a wonderful vacation in a perfect location and could not have asked for a better place to stay.

Best vacation ever

We have been staying at Destin West since 2016 but booked through David with Coastal Vibe this year and we will absolutely be booking future stays with him! There was no check in mess to deal with we literally just walked in our room and started our vacation. The condo was beautiful, clean, spacious, and stocked with anything you could possibly need for your stay and then even things you wouldn't even think of. It was SO nice not having to drag out all of our beach gear since the condo came with so much stuff. There were so many board games that my kids enjoyed on the rainy days. Communication was quick and professional and the only concern we had was addressed immediately. The fact that the boat slip was included was a game changer since we didn't have to worry with where we were going to dock it. All of the local recommendations were spot on and much appreciated. Highly recommend booking with David and this unit! Just hopefully not the week we want to come every year. 😂 10/10 highly recommend. We had the best experience!

Beautiful Property!!!

My family and I stayed here last week and had an amazing time. We were down in Ft. Walton for the baseball tournaments and had a whole team staying at the same property. Our condo was perfect. So much room for our family; and even for having cookouts with the other families. The roof was peaceful, a perfect place to watch the fireworks that were set off at the pier mid week. And my kids couldn't get enough of the lazy river. If we weren't at the ballpark then they were at the pool. It is conveniently located for all things. The ballpark was only 10 minutes away, great restaurants around, and we even hit up the arcade/go kart track as well that was a couple doors down. Next door is a place to rent pontoons and jet skis (which we did) as well. Just an amazing time all the way around. Highly recommended.
