An elevate walk way provides safe walking access over highway 98 to the beautiful sugar white sand beach and the amenities associated with the Destin West Gulf property.

Destin West beach and Bay (Caribbean style resort) is one of the newest and most unique on Okaloosa Island. In the middle of a lush, tropical landscape (bay side) is a lazy river ( the longest in the area) with a zero entry pool and 2 hot tubs. Fish from the bay, catch dinner and grill on one of the many BBQ's. Want to spend time on the beach? Just a fun walk over the SKY WALKWAY.

Guests at Destin West also have privileges at The Island Hotel restaurant and Tikki Bar.
Okaloosa Island is centrally located near great restaurants, night clubs, water sports, fishing piers, water parks, aquarium and the Boardwalk that has really fun bars and night clubs. Just over the bridge is the Harborwalk's fine restaurants, shops and fireworks every Thursday night in the summer.

Loved it!

Great location and great property. We’ve stayed at the Henderson and the Emerald Grand on our previous visit and they don’t compare to this resort. Condo was easy to find and very convenient to elevator and parking. So many pools and hot tubs to choose from. Lazy river was amazing!! Beach was amazing!! Publix was within a mile. Can’t wait to stay again.

Great condo with great view!

Loved our stay! Kids said this condo was the best yet. The amenities were wonderful. Everything was in working order. It was very clean. From the rooftop you could see the gulf and the bay. Sunset was spectacular. We will definitely return next year. Booking process was easy and the owners were very responsive to questions.

Couldn't Ask For More

Condo was clean, just like advertised, well equipped, comfortable, and in a fantastic location. We enjoyed both balconies, the pools and the ocean. We walked in and said WOW. The only thing we suggested was that the property include a way to recycle. Otherwise, this is a fantastic place to stay. We would come again without hesitation and have recommended it to everyone who has asked us about our vacation. Owners were easy to work with and communicated clearly and quickly.

Little piece of paradise

The condo was great overall. We have stayed at this resort a few times and it was just as i remembered it. Very family friendly. We loved having the penthouse with the rooftop balcony. The breeze and view were awesome. The biggest downside was the grill to our condo messed up before we got there, so we ended up not having our private grill. But luckily we were able to use the neighbor's so it worked out. Besides that everything was great. We were very sad to leave.

Relaxing Spring Break at a Fantastic Condo

My husband, 17 year old son and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful condo We've stayed at Destin West .many times, and have always been happy with the condos we've rented, but this one was our favorite. It was extremely clean, decorated very cute, with comfortable beds and linens. My 6'2" son slept very comfortably in the large bunk bed. Our favorite thing about the condo was the penthouse deck. The balcony height table made it easy to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the gorgeous bay views during the day and the lights of the pools and lazy river at night. This was the first penthouse unit that we stayed in at Destin West, and I think we are now spoiled. From now on I'm going to have to rent a penthouse when we are in Fort Walton. We love staying on the bay side of Destin West, because even if the weather is cool or too windy for the beach, you can still enjoy the heated pool or the hot tubs. It was Spring break, so there were other teenagers there for my son to socialize with, but the complex was very tame and quiet. Security was very good and everyone who we met who works at the complex was very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend this condo for anyone looking for a place to spend a relaxing time at the beach.

Condo PH05 exceeded our expectations! The condo was very clean, including appliances & furnishings. The view from the penthouse upper deck was stunning & you could see the ocean & bay. We will definitely stay at this condo again. Destin West Beach & Bay Resort is a great place to stay because you have access to the beach, pools, hot tubs & lazy river. Close to attractions, grocery, etc

Highly recommend. We will be back

What an amazing find and great value. It was clean, the view was breathtaking and there were plenty of food options in walking distance or a short drive away. Highly recommend the beach service as the walk to the beach is not long but with limited things to carry having LDV set up chairs made it a breeze. The hosts are lovely, responsive and welcoming. My family will 100% be visiting this property again.

Location was great, I loved the walkway to get to the beach, and restaurants, shopping and the pier are close via the walkway. The place was super clean. My wishes would be a softer bed (all were harder, but bearable), enough warm water in the shower (ran out within 10 min all 3 days we were there), and maybe a list of things recommended to do in the area? Its always nice to hear what the host thinks is fun. We relied on Yelp, and weren't disappointed, but we had to look for specifics. Not sure we would rebook, but overall the property was usable.

We have gone over board to make sure the condo is sparkling clean and well appointed. Come let us show you how pleased you will be to select Sandpiper PH05 as you destination choice.

What makes this property unique

This newly renovated Penthouse is known for it Breathtaking views and comfort. 2 balconies, one off the living room and another off the roof-top. NO better place to enjoy all the amenities of the Destin West Resort.
