Beach Front ~ Gulf Views ~ Spacious Balcony

Sleeping Arrangements
Single Floor Condominium |
Master Bedroom, King Bed; Guest Bedroom, King Bed; Living Area, Sleeper Sofa

Parking: Westwinds Condominium offers a two‑story parking garage. Parking is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

From the south facing balcony and perched on the 21st floor you can take in the vibrant colors of the shoreline and generous salt air breeze. Prop up your feet, sip your tea and read the entire newspaper as you ease into your day at the beach.

When inside, the open floor plan flows easily from living, to dining and into the kitchen so you can enjoy the Gulf views from just about anywhere in the condo – even the Master bedroom. The kitchen has been updated with a crisp coastal feel of natural stone countertops and stainless steel appliances. There’s plenty of space to prepare a large family meal for a night in – or arrange a quick lunch at the breakfast bar before you hit the beach.

The beach – the reason why you’re here! It’s fulfilling to take it all in from the balcony, but now it’s time to get those toes into the sugar-white sand. From the elevator, stroll through the lagoon-like pool area and right to the beach access. As you walk through the pool area, you can grab a refreshment from the Tiki Bar (open seasonally). At the beach find your perfect spot and sit right down to a day filled with exploring, relaxing and wave-watching.

When the day is done, the condo’s comfortable arrangements will offer a restful night. Each bedroom has a king bed and the master bedroom offers an en suite bathroom with dual vanity for added privacy and convenience. Each room has a TV perfect for winding down.
If you’re after a little more night life, take the resort’s complimentary shuttle to The Village of Baytowne Wharf® for unlimited options of live music, dining, and great shopping. For family fun, enjoy outdoor movies, music concerts, magic shows and fireworks!

Megan’s customer service was wonderful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo initially had some issues with the water not working when we got there, but it was turned back on within a satisfactory time. However, it happened again during our stay and it was a little frustrating. The customer service folks were very nice - especially Megan because my daughter left her makeup bag in the room. So Megan was super helpful and had it mailed to me immediately. I really appreciated her working with me and being so understanding.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 August 2025
Diana, thank you so much for your 5-star review! Megan is truly amazing and she loves taking care of our guests. We've replaced the water system sensors in the Westwinds. Thank you for your patience while we were getting those replaced. We can't wait to see you on your next visit!

Life at the 21st floor

This was exactly the view from our condo....all the way down the beach toward Destin. The condo itself was spacious and well appointed. The beauty of Sandestin is found on the beach, the Gulf of Mexico, the clouds, and the sky. The days were spectacular...some of the most stunning I have ever seen. The sunsets are breathtaking and we watched one every night from our balcony.

Fantastic view, comfortable condo

Condo was very comfortable but a bit dated. Kitchen had everything we needed; however could use a new coffee maker. Master shower needs an update and right sink had slow drain. Other than these small details, we would stay here again. We are all about a great balcony with view and this one delivered! The sunsets are amazing from this condo!

Nice but a bit run down

We had a great time at Westwinds. The unit would benefit from a deep clean. The primary bathroom shower curtain was quite moldy. The kitchen cupboards and drawers were also found to be a bit dirty. Despite these small concerns, the unit was great. Bed was comfy and view unbeatable.

Short getaway

Overall this place was great and we enjoyed our stay! The view is amazing like pictured, the resort pools and beach access is also amazing! We did see and kill two cockroaches, I think this can be expected in these type of buildings? People mention about updates needed, I agree it could use some updating but for the price I do think this place was worth it. Unless I’m paying for. 5 star resort like sandals, I don’t expect perfection. We will return to Westwinds in the future!!

Gorgeous view & very nice condo! The beach closest could use an update or bring your own chairs and umbrellas. The kitchen is fully stocked & we had everything we needed there! We usually pack some extra trash bags, laundry pods, hand soap,& beach towels. Would suggest an update to the doors in the condo, the master bedroom doesn’t lock and the guest bathroom door has issues closing, the trifold doors in the laundry room are broken and the main patio door curtain has issues with the rod, other than that the condo was clean and beautifully decorated. We loved the location and the view was phenomenal! The pool area is nice as well as the gym. We love westwinds and will definitely return!We did have some mystery noises at night that sounded like someone was moving furniture above us but we were on the top floor…we assumed maybe it was the water pipes or utility room next door…it was bothersome the first couple of nights but we turned the fan on high and that helped mask the noise.

Right beside the elevator — noisy!

The Westwinds building is awesome. We’ve stayed there before and love it. This particular unit, however, is right next to the elevator. The machinery from the elevator is incredibly noisy and goes alllllll night long. We didn’t get a decent night’s sleep during our stay. It’s on the top floor, so the view is nice. Decor is fine, but updates are needed; bathroom cabinets, for example, have peeling paint. We will stay in Westwinds again, but not this unit.
