......ASK ME ABOUT OUR NIGHTLY RATES......
Our Destin West Villa has a first class view of both the beach and bay. Facing Destin, you can view 4 miles of undeveloped beach and see the beautiful skyline of Destin. What a view for the breathtaking sunrises. Okaloosa Island is a very family friendly vacation spot, which connects Destin to Fort Walton Beach.
Our soothing, colorful condo has a beachy and light cottage feel, with a touch of sophistication. You will smile with our cheerful colors that blend in with the aqua waters of the sea. Our efficiency condo is great for a getaway or a wonderful vacation for 4 here at Destin West, where you have access to amenities on both the beach side and the bayside.
The unit is located on the beach side, where you also have a private pool (heated during Winter) beneath the Villas. Be sure to watch the sun go down by the fishing pier and then walk to a beachside restaurant right out your door. Head to Howl at the Moon Comedy and Piano bar as you pass along different shops at the boardwalk. The Gulfarium is also within walking distance.
Our unit has a queen size bed and a queen sleeper sofa in an open floor plan (no door to the bedroom but wall separating the queen bed from the living room). There is a Flat Screen TV, DVD in the living area and in the master bedroom area. The bathroom has a big, relaxing deep set tub for a nice evening of soaking and relaxing. The bathroom also has a separate glass door shower. Except for the penthouse units, Villa 506 is one of only two condos with washer/dryer available. A big plus for stays over 3 nights!
There are MANY pools to choose from at Destin West. The bayside offers a 700 ft. lazy river, a heated pool with a waterfall flowing into it, and 2 large hot tubs in the center of the bayside complex. There is also a gradual decline pool that feeds into the Lazy River. Parents love the safety of their toddlers playing in the water.
The beachside complex offers a 5000 sq. ft. pool, a splash garden for the kids, a kiddy pool, and a large hot tub.
A SKYWALK or bridge connecting the beachside complex to the bayside complex makes using all of the amenities at Destin West a breeze! The beachside also has a state of the art FITNESS GYM right on the beach.
CHARCOAL GRILLS and PICNIC TABLES on both the bayside and beachside make grilling out inviting and fun. Or throw FRISBEE/FOOTBALL on the grassy areas by the grills on the bayside.
Please call or email me for more pictures of Destin West amenities and our villa.

This was our second stay at Destin West. We had a great time in the quaint and very clean condo. The views off the deck are wonderful, you have the ocean to one side and the bay on the other. Bill the owner even put in a brand new washer/dryer combo while we were there, very nice addition.
Owner response:Thanks guys! It was great having you back as guests. We are so glad that you enjoyed yourselves and that the weather cooperated just for you! I have always enjoyed that wonderful view from the balcony as well. We look forward to your return! Bill

The condo was great. It is an efficiency, but perfect for the two of us. It was decorated so beautifully and everything we needed was right there. It is also in a perfect location to the pier and boardwalk. The harbor is just a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay so much, we're already talking about next year. We've decided October may be the perfect time to come and this a perfect place to stay for the two of us. Thank you Bill for being so great to work with and for being available when we forgot our code and had it locked in the room!!! P.S, Take a dolphin cruise early on in your trip because you'll get a lot of tips on things to do!

My husband and I had a horrible first honeymoon, so we decided to try it a 2nd time. We had a WONDERFUL stay! The condo was nice and very comfortable, the lazy river was amazing, and there was no beating the weather. Anything you could want or need was within a 5 mile radius, with plenty to do within walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay at this resort and would recommend this room. Thanks!!

My husband & two girls stayed in Villa 506 for our first family trip to the beach. Resort amenities were great, decor in the condo was cute, furnishings were great! Beach & bay access were great, loved being able to go to either place! Condo was perfect size for our small family, but families with teens will want a larger area. Just wish we'd had more time to stay!

Nice pools
Guest: Visitor

Date of Stay: 06/18/11
Review Submitted: 06/23/11
We enjoyed the pools and the beach service. This is NOT a one bedroom as stated in the ad. It is an efficiency/studio, meaning one giant room with a bed and a pull out couch and a partial kitchen (in the same room). There is a divider between the bed and couch, but not a separate room. No closets for clothes, but there is a coat hanger and some drawers that one can use. Definitely not suitable for 4 people. But I think it would have been okay for 2.
Owner response:Dear Guests, Thank you for taking the time to provide a guest review for our condo. I'm glad that you loved the variety of pools offered at Destin West B&B Resort as well as the free beach service accompanying our 5th floor efficiency condo. Traveling all the way from Wisconsin and being disappointed with the layout of our condo was, I'm sure, somewhat frustrating. It's sometimes difficult to get the whole layout of a condo when searching online which is why we put the maximum number of pictures (16) on our sites in order to provide our prospective guests with as many views as possible. I always point out to those inquiring about this condo that it is an "open" floor plan. I didn't get that opportunity with you because your first and only inquiry was to ask to book the condo. Also, I wish to respectfully disagree with your comment that our condo is not suitable for 4 people as evidenced by our many positive guest reviews from families with children or 4 adults staying with us. Again, I am glad that you enjoyed your vacation at our wonderful resort and thank you for booking with us.

I would recommend this property to anyone! I took my 3 kids, ages 13, 15 and 17 down to Florida and they had a ball at the resort. The lazy river was our favorite (especially mine), and the pools were great. Everything at the resort was very clean and well-maintained. A couple of our favorite places to eat while visiting was The Red Bar, Donut Hole and Fud-Puckers. We would also recommend going and watching the windsurfers in the afternoon on the beach, it was awesome!! I don't have one negative thing to say about this Villa and booking our stay was a breeze, Thanks to Bill. :)

This was our first stay at Destin West and we had a great time. The whole complex was great. Everything was very well maintained and very clean, not just our unit but everywhere in and around the resort. My kids loved the lazy river and the pool, of course. The free beach service was wonderful. We also liked going over on the bay side to look for hermit crabs. As far as eating out goes; Staffs and A.J.'s was very good. The grilled shrimp at Staffs was wonderful and the Pasta Orleans and the Steak at A.J.'s was awesome. We will definitely be visiting those again on future vacations. Bill was wonderful to work with and was very helpful with everything. Thanks for a great vacation.

Wonderful Summer Vacation 5/28/11-6/4/11

We stayed at this condo for a full week and had an amazing experience. As our first vacation with our son (13 months at the time), Destin West was the perfect place. The splash pad and kiddie pool on the Gulf side PLUS the zero entry pool and lazy river at Bayside were very family oriented and great for kids. With those and the beach, there were so many options to keep us entertained. Access to everything was so quick and easy, even parking. We also took a few afternoon trips into Destin to shop. The Silver Sands outlet mall is HUGE and a shoppers dream. It does take around 30 mins. to get there with traffic, but well worth it. Destin Commons is closer (15 mins.) and great for more retail shopping. Bass Pro shop was hit for the boys! As for dinner recommendations, we ate at Staff's in FWB twice. It was that great. The restaurant has been opened since 1913, so I believe that says a lot. Also, the Back Porch in Destin was such a fun beachy environment and had great seafood!

Our long weekend at Destin West

Review Submitted: 03/25/11
My husband and I had a 3-night, 4-day, extended weekend at Destin West. I was very happy with the room and location! The room was adorable, the bed was super comfy, and we had a nice view of the beach! The pools were immaculate - unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we were able to enjoy the small heated pool right below our unit, as well as the large hot tub. The beach was just a few steps away, and it's only a short walk to the Okaloosa Island Boardwalk shops. Tons of shopping and restaurants were within a 5 minute drive. The condo had a great little book with activity and restaurant recommendations. The property was very well maintained, and the owner/manager was extremely helpful and communicative. I would absolutely recommend this unit to anyone! We had a great stay. Restaurant recommendations: Another Broken Egg (bfast), Harbor Docks (dinner - YUM!), McGuires (FUN Irish pub), Donut Hole (bfast). Another recommendation, drive a minute down the road to watch the parachute surfers! Amazing!
Owner response:Hey Davonna, Thank you so much for your kind words and great review. We hope you will come back soon. Sincerely, Bill
