This was our first trip to Destin-Okaloosa Island and we really enjoyed it. Destin West was a wonderful pick for us. We have a nine year old that loved the lazy river and pool. The grounds were clean, and the pool area was always neat and clean. The workers were out every morning making sur e everything was nice and neat. This condo is on the fourth floor with wonderful views of the Lazy river, pool and bay. I almost wanted to live on the balcony. I don't know if the cleaning crew were in a hurry but if so they need to slow down and make sure everything is clean. Floors were still dirty in bathrooms and down the hallway. My son found toast behind the couch and bugs behind the living room drapes. The furniture on balcony needed cleaning, as did the glass doors. Carpet in bunk area is nasty---needs replacing bad. The mattress in the master bedroom squeaks so bad --it needs replacing also. Carpet in bedroom needs cleaning or replaced. I wore socks on my feet the whole week and they were so black I could not get them cleaned so I tossed them in the trash when I got home. Mike and Lori were wonderful to work with, but the condo needs some freshing up. It was not the platinum condo that was advertised but it could be. The flat screens and surrond sound were wonderful. In all I am so glad to have been introduced to Destin West, but will research further to make sure we are getting what is being advertised.
Owner response:As owners of this unit, we take pride in the amenities we offer and how updated and clean we keep it. Our reviews consistantly come back positive, including comments specifically noting that the condo is kept very clean. We encourage all of our guests to contact us if they have any issues, and are disappointed that this guest did not give us an opportunity to address their concerns. We have worked with the cleaning crew to ensure they understand our expectations. Please read all previous reviews for a true assessement of how nice of a unit this is. December 19, 2011 owner update: The condo has had a thorough end of season cleaning, carpets professionally cleaned, new flooring in the bunk room, and a new king size mattress in the master bedroom.

This year was the third we have spent at Destin West Beach & Bay Resort. By far, Lori's unit was the best! The condo has all of the amenities of Destin West (lazy river, beach access, whirlpools, great sunsets) PLUS the owners have furnished the unit with quality leather furniture and ample electronics. The kitchen is updated and upgraded! If you're looking for a clean, well furnished condo with a bit of home, this unit is it! For the little ones, the bunk room is perfect with full size beds, dresser, tv and game system with plenty of choices. This unit is much larger than the gulfside units we rented before. Wish we had found this unit years ago!

This was our first trip to Florida last March. We truely enjoyed the condo with the big screen t.v., huge movie selection and stocked kitchen! My daughter's especially loved the bunk beds! Being so close to the beach, restaurants and some shops was great. We didn't get to enjoy the lazy river because it was just way to cold but the girls enjoyed the hot tub and some swimming. Definitely coming back! Thank you for allowing us to rent your condo Lori!

Okaloosa Island is great !!!!!! It's just off the beaten path, but also just a "hop, skip and a jump" to Destin....... Condo was really nice !!!!!! The picture's are "spot on" !!!!! The pictures of the condo are exactly the way it is...... Very well kept and very clean........... The condo owner was more than helpful with any and all question's that I had prior to going.... I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone who wants to get away and have a great time !!!!!!! There were many things to do in Destin, but for me just getting away, relaxing by the pool and the ocean was really good medicine...... Probably the hightlight of the week was going to "Crab Island"......Just get in the boat, anchor up and relax in the water and the sun while enjoying some nice cold beverages .........I'm ready to go back now !!!!!! :o)

We truly enjoyed this condo. During our stay of 5 days, we could have never left the complex. Our three sons enjoyed the lazy river, playing on the beach, and hunting for blue crabs in the bay. Restaurants were within walking distance, as were a couple shops. This was a clean and hospitable place to vacation and would recommend it to those seeking fun in the Florida panhandle!

We stayed at the condo from March 24 through March 31, 2007. The condo was awesome. The lazy river, hot tubs, pools and the ocean keep my kids busy the entire week. It was very relaxing and looking forward to coming back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
