Have stayed in this condo several times, has everything from a spacious kitchen to the spectacular view of the bay. Exercise room is a favorite, very well equipped. Beaches are gorgeous, there's nothing quite like walking barefoot in the sand! The unit & the resort has something for everyone, we love it here!
Owner response:Hey Gaye and Jay! It is always, always a pleasure having you stay in our family's condo. Thanks again for being such wonderful tenants and a joy to have. We'll hopefully hear from you again in 2012! Sincerely, Shelley Hesse

When my husband and I walked into this condo, our jaws dropped! The pictures on the website do NOT give this room the credit it deserves, it's absolutely stunning. As our trip was coming to an end, we decided to plan another trip in near future. The view from the master bedroom was our favorite part, who doesn't like waking up to that scenery! We would like to thank Shelley for all of the help she provided us, she's amazing! Shelley we hope to talk to you next summer! :)

Exceeded Expectations-Larger than Expected-Loved the Bayside

Thanks Shelley for a wonderful vacation!! We only hate that it had to end... The condo exceeded expectations. As others mentioned, the condo was much larger than expected. We were two families with a total of five kids at the condo (ages 1-5), and we never felt crowded. The pools were great...the kids really enjoyed the options of the lazy river, zero entry, family spa, etc. The view from the unit was wonderful! We normally prefer to stay on the beachfront, but with the amazing view and the walkover beach access, we were completely content! We hope to stay here again!!

We have stayed at several condos at Destin West and this condo tops them all! The view of the bay is beautiful and we also saw dolphins! The hot tub was really nice-I want to sell ours and get one like that!

This is a great unit. It's one of the largest and best Bay front units at Destin West. The hot tub is in a great spot as it is very private but you can still enjoy the great waterfront view. This is also a perfect location for kiteboarding. Destin West is the last condo before the National Seashore and the bayside kiteboard area is practically next door. The water is shallow and it's great for an East wind. On a west wind, the locals go to the "Pass" next to the bridge to Destin and kite inside the Jetty. Shelley is a graat host and you'll not be disappoint with this unit. It also has a garage which was a great place to dry kites or keep your bikes. Plenty of covered parking as well.

This unit was more than exceptional. The photos, while nice, did not do this unit justice. It was very spacious and very well decorated without all the cliche tropical/beach decorations. The large windows offered spectacular views to the bay. The hot tub was also a treat for a winter vacation and a must-have. The private garage was also nice, providing an extra sense of security. We will definitely consider staying again!

The condo was wonderful, very roomy, very comfortable and nicely decorated. The hot tub was the saving grace since the weather refused to cooperate and stayed cold almost the whole time we were there. Having a private garage was nice too, it made me feel very safe coming home after being out shopping in the evening by myself when my son opted out of yet another outlet. Views were great too! Only wish we could have stayed longer!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Everything was absolutely perfect about the accomodations and the resort! This actual unit was spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We felt at home and in "paradise" all at the same time. Our children had a fantastic time with the lazy river, the water park, the beach, and our specific unit overlooking the water. They also truly enjoyed the planned activities they had at the resort everyday (water sports, art, etc). Thank you! We truly had a wonderful time and look forward to another great vacation next year!

WOW! WOW! WOW!...what a wonderful unit and resort. Was more than we expected. This was our first family vacation in 14 yrs and it was worth the wait. We would recommend staying at this unit hand's down. Beautiful views, convienent to everything...the only problem is that you have to leave and come home. Thanks Shelley, it couldn't have been any better...blessings to ya!!!
