We recently returned from a wonderful family vacation to Destin West. The complex was beautiful and convenient. Jackie's condo is in the Heron building just steps from the pool and lazy river. It is also right by the bay and all its fishing spots. The condo is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The owner, Jackie is most pleasant to work with. When booking this condo you are actually renting from an owner on VRBO who truly cares about your experience, not a rental company posing as an owner. We visit the Emerald Coast yearly, and this is one of the nicest well equipped condos we have stayed in. The building is on the bay side which in my opinion is preferable. It is only a short walk to the beach via the sky bridge (the kids enjoyed playing Frogger) Thanks Jackie for providing such great accomodations, can't wait to come visit your condo again.

Jackie was very easy to work with and did a great job accomodating us. The lazy river access was perfect for our 2 young children. The condo was very tastefully decorated and clean. The resort was well maintained. A nice perk we found was that you can use the Ramada's pool with waterfalls and swim up bar and the splash park is right by it. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

This was a fun and enjoyable experience! The property was better than expected. This unit was clean and well maintained. The unit had beach chairs that we could bring to the beach; which saved us chair rental fees. I will definately be back and will definately rent from Jackie again! Everything was AWESOME!!!!!!

First of all, the owner, Jackie, was pleasant to work with, a very lovely person! We had such a great time at Destin West. The unit was wonderful--nicely decorated and had everything we needed--the third bedroom is separated with louver doors which was great.....we had friends in another unit that was open to the kitchen, so that was a very nice feature to our unit. The number of beds was great for one or two families to share. The property was great, too........we enjoyed the lazy river and the pool. It is somewhat of a 'walk' to the beach, but we had a beach caddy which helped out. We also enjoyed the pool area at the Ramada Inn across the street which Destin West guests have access to. It was a wonderful time and we would definitely contact Jackie in the future to visit again! Thank you for helping us create another great vacation memory!!

Comment Text: Our family just finished a wonderful 7-night stay at Jackie's Heron 307 (3 bedroom) condo. It is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is well equipped for making meals. One of the cleanest condos we have stayed in. The balcony is very large with a table that seats six - perfect for eating and enjoying the beautiful grounds and bay. Jackie provides great information on local entertainment, and even provided a great route to get there. Our next trip to Destin/Ft. Walton - this is definitely where we will be.

Great condo! We've stayed at Destin West several times and this unit is the best. From the furnishings & decor down to the silverware, this unit is first class and very CLEAN. Great view of the lazy river & the bay from the roomy balcony. Communication with Jackie (owner) was never a problem. We highly recommend Heron 307!

We really enjoyed Jackie's condo during our six night stay in April. The condo was clean and professionally decorated with ample space for our family of six. The large floor tiles, granite counter tops, spacious master bed/bath suite and large patio area was very enjoyable. Jackie made setting up the stay very straight forward by providing helpful driving directions and a code to the key-less door lock for a convenient no check-in required. I would highly recommend a stay in Jackie's condo.
