Our wrap-around porch gives you a 180 degree of spectacular views facing breathtaking sunrises. You cannot beat our condo at this wonderful family-friendly resort. We welcome you at our home. You won’t regret vacationing at this wonderful place.
Our condo is a truly unique ocean front vacation condominium with a wrap around balcony and full views to the East for those who enjoy morning coffee and watch the sunrise. Later in the evening, enjoy sunsets from the front of the balcony as it faces toward the South/Southwest. The sands of the emerald coast are directly below your Destin West vacation home on the Gulf. Again, there are only 10 condos directly on the ocean at Destin West with unobstructed views.
Our home rivals the most appointed condos at Destin West with designer touches throughout this elegant vacation home. Lively, radiant colors, crown molding, and other stylish touches grace the unit. Every piece at our Destin West Home away from home has a purpose and reflects the care taken to outfit this beautiful condo. Keen attention has been taken to harmonize every color, furnishing, and all accessories to make this unit a beautiful and relaxing environment for you to experience. Relax in the oversize couch, while recessed lights set the mood for the evening or lie back on our comfortable bed in the master and listen to the wave’s crash.
Our Destin West Gulf front JEWEL ON THE BEACH has been completely re-decorated in 2009 with new granite countertops and backsplash in the kitchen done in 2011. This condo home is in high demand from repeat guests that know exactly what to expect with features that include: Big Screen Flat Panel HDTV and HBO upgrade for those movie lovers! Crown molding, ceramic tile, bead board walls, and incredible art, tile floors throughout, butcher block and designer granite countertops in kitchen, UPGRADED LCD HDTV & HBO SERVICE, and WIRELESS INTERNET!
Think of our condo as your 'home away from home'. Walk out to your balcony and the only thing you can see is the tranquil gulf for miles. On the gulf, it is not unusual to see dolphins swimming just a few hundred yards from you. And of course our condo balcony could not be any closer to the ocean with 180 degree views of the Gulf. So you are sure to catch some spectacular sights. We also provide COMPLIMENTARY BEACH SERVICE--A $175 VALUE! No need to drag your chairs and umbrellas to the beach.
But not only is our condo and the beach wonderful, but we have the most amazing amenities here at Destin West. Your kids will have so much to do you will never have to leave. The 700 ft. floating lazy river on the bayside is truly unique to Destin West Beach & Bay Resort. There is a zero entry pool that leads to the lazy river where even the smallest of children can frolic and play. Surrounding the lazy river are 2 large spas placed amid the tropical palms, as well as a waterfall pool (heated in the winter).
Directly on the beachside and just steps from our condo once exiting the elevator is the 5,000 sq ft pool. This pool is the largest on the Florida Panhandle. There is a kiddy pool and a hot tub on the beachside as well. Additionally, there is a smaller, quainter Villa pool by the front entrance. This is also heated seasonally and is outside.
And, if all of this is not enough, the kids also have a splash park to entertain themselves. This is located directly on the beach and next to the beachside pool. A splash park is just that, a park that shoots, squirts, and spills water out of fun crabs, towers, contraptions, and more. And we haven't even gotten to the beach yet. Once you arrive at the beach, you will find the friendly attendants ready to seat you in your complimentary full size umbrella and 2 beach chairs. This is a $175 SAVINGS FOR YOU!!

We stayed in this condo for a week in early May....although the weather was still a bit cold we had an amazing time here. Simply amazing view, we ate almost every meal out on the large balcony. Kitchen was furnished with just about everything we needed, everything was really clean and tidy when we arrived. The walk-in showers were really great after a long day at the beach/pool. Since the beach was a bit cold and windy when we went, we spent a lot of time on the bayside of the complex enjoying the lazy river and heated pool. My 2 year old loved the Splash Gardens kiddie area as well. We loved the Boardwalk area which is really close with great restaurants and shopping. This place is really close to downtown as well, my wife enjoyed shopping there a few afternoons. Overall a very good vacation and we will definitely be looking at the same place next year.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We so enjoyed our long weekend in the dead of winter in this beautiful ocean front condo. The sunsets were so incredible and this unit is truly on of the best locations in this development. Furthermore, the owner was incredible to work with, and even helped us by shipping back some clothing that we inadvertently left in the dryer. Highly recommend! Our only disappointment was that several of the local stores were closed and slated to reopen in February. The local restaurants, the lovely views and beaches, and the comfortable condo made for a great trip/experience regardless.Owner response: Susan, Thank you so much for your review and for sending me the amazing sunset photo taken from the balcony of #401. The clouds were spectacular! You have amazing sunrise and sunset views from this condo, don't you? You and your husband were a pleasure to have. You make mailing back bathing suits and towels no big deal ;) I am so sorry about some of the local shops being closed. I have not had that happen to me but I will have to find out which ones they are so I can redirect my winter tenants to local shops that are OPEN! I know the SanDestin Outlets are always open!! Haha. I am glad everything else made up for it. We look forward to your return soon. Sincerely, Shelley :)

My husband and I spent most of December in this gulf front condo and truly enjoyed each day. The living room and master bedroom have breathtaking views of the ocean. Watching the sun rise and set each day from the balcony was the best part of the trip. Also, we were able to watch the dolphins most mornings as they made their way to the pier.The condo itself has a fully equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable master bed, and roomy bathrooms. Bill, the manager, was readily available when we had questions and promptly attended to any issues. The workout room is directly below this condo and has a great variety of machines. Food in Destin was good everywhere, but we found the McGuire's lunch special for 6.99 and frequented their often. (Although this condo is on the 4th floor, the elevator is right outside the door, which makes packing stuff to the beach a breeze too.)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Hi Brenda, Thank you for the beautiful description of your stay. The condo does have amazing views being a direct ocean front condo. We are so glad you had such a wonderful vacation! You are such a great return tenant and you are always a pleasure to have. We look forward to having you again in the fall! See you soon! Bill & Shelley

I have never been to west Florida and boy was I spoiled!!! From the Condo to the view of the Gulf I was overwhelmed with beauty. I was a little lost at first but the rental company made it so easy by giving me a package of information every question I had was answered from were to get gas to were to go to get a nice breakfast. I knew were to go for everything. It was so stress free. I really loved this Condo it was so clean the floors were just cleaned the furniture and kitchen area were so up to date I felt like I was in a magazine cover for Coastal Living.The view of the Gulf was so close and the porch was so big I could just relax and drink my coffee every morning watching the sea life and birds. I also enjoyed watching the jets fly by, such interesting planes. The chairs and umbrella on the beach were complimentary and for someone that came as far as we did one less thing to worry about. Truly a relaxing experience looking forward to coming back and staying at the Destin West Beach and Bay Resort. We will see you in March:)Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

I cannot even begin to say enough wonderful things about our week's stay at the Saved By the Beach Condo. This was the perfect location, right on the beach front, right up the stairs from the pool and convenient to the parking garage. The condo was beautifully decorated and was very comfortable for my family. My father, who has a heart condition, was able to rest comfortably while we enjoyed the beach, without feeling like he was missing out on the fun. He enjoyed sitting out on the ocean front patio with a cup of coffee and watching the tide roll in. We were able to find great restaurants and entertainment in a short distance of the property and had no problem accessing other neighboring properties and their facilities which were free to us as condo guests. We will definitely be staying at this condo again and enjoyed every single day!! Thank you so much to the owners who did not spare any luxury when offering this condo to visitors like myself. What a wonderful week. Misti DrewRecommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had a great week at this condo. We chose it because of the resort amenities and it's close proximety to the beach. This was our first Destin vacation with our two children (9 mo & 3 yrs) so we knew we would spend quite a bit of time in the condo and on the balcony (which we really enjoyed.) It was very convienent to get to the pools and beach and the drive to the grocery/restaurants was not bad. The only cons I have about the unit is that the floors/rugs need a major cleaning...our feet were black from walking barefoot and the tile grout is pink from mildew? We also ended up vaccuming under the sofa (bed)ourselves because there was lots and lots of food/dirt there when we pulled it out. Aside from the few cleaning mishaps we loved the unit. We would definetly consider staying at Destin West again.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: I am so glad you had a great time at our condo and Destin West! I do want to first apologize for the cons listed and explain. I promise the pink places on the tile grout are NOT mildew. We had a chemical reaction to bleach used on the tiles and it turned it pink in some places. We have a tile specialist coming to fix the problem this month, but it does take about 4 days to correct the problem and we have been booked solid. Also, we have switched management and there has been some mix-up with the deep cleaning schedules during our transition. We are presently taking care of these issues and I am so sorry you vacationed right during the transition. Again, we want to apologize for the inconvenience this caused you and your family. We will strive to make sure this never happens again! We do pride ourselves in taking great care of our unit. I do hope you will return to our wonderful gulf front unit again. We do hate when tenants are not 100% satisfied. Please let me know if we can help you again with future vacations and I promise, our condo will be spic-n-span for your next vacation. Thanks again for your kind and honest review. Sincerely, Nancy/Shelley & Bill :)

This was our 3rd family trip to #401! After a hot trip to Disneyworld, this was the more relaxing part of our vacation. Over with the oil threat & some small tar balls, we were able to enjoy the beach everyday. Morgan (4 1/2) also continued to enjoy the spray park, lazy river, and pool. She even learned to like going underwater! We are thankful for this time we got to spend together! Miller Family and Pop and LolliDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
