Our peaceful and inviting nautical condominium is perfect for an amazing beach vacation. With a great location on the surreal Emerald Coast, a 700 foot Lazy River, you are sure to come back year after year.
Our condominium is centrally located between Destin and Fort Walton Beach on Okaloosa Island. We are five miles from Destin and one mile from Fort Walton Beach. You are in the middle of two of the best vacation cities in America. Not only do you have four miles of un-developed land on one side (free of mass crowds of people), but on the other side you have access to the Gulfarium, beachside restaurants and shops, fishing, water-sports, and more. Take your pick! Either side has the vacation you have been waiting for.
Not only is our location perfect and our condominium's new, but the view is unforgettable. Imagine an oasis of palm trees with cool, turquoise water running like ribbon (the lazy river) around gorgeous tropical landscaping. Lounge on our large porch and overlook sailboats floating by on the inner coastal waterway while watching the kids float by on the lazy river.
Close your eyes on our private patio and listen to the waterfall hit the water in the additional heated pool and you will think you are in a tropical paradise. Or enjoy the 5000 sq.foot pool, gym, and kiddy water playground at Destin West across the street. We also have internet access for those of you who need to connect for business. With so many features, how could you pass this up?
Do not worry. I am sure you can find plenty to do around our area.

We loved our "Beach House"

My husband and twin two year olds loved our stay at the condo in October. It was super cute and had a great view of the lazy river. We loved being on the first floor so we could walk right out. The owner was really responsive and great to work with. The building was fabulous and you can't beat having several pools, a lazy river, a splash pad and of course a GORGEOUS beach to choose from! We would highly recommend staying here, although next time we might get the owner's other condo because the bunk bed room has a door. This trip the kids slept in cribs in the master bedroom that the owner provided (which was great!) but I could see how in the future it would be nice for them to have their own space with a door. My kids love talking about their "beach house" and we can't wait to go back and stay at this condo or another one owned by the same family.
Owner response:Dear Ellie, We are so pleased that you and your family had such a wonderful time especially that the girls think of it as "their beach house" now. We look forward to your return. It was great working with you as well. Bill

We stayed at this place for one week in November. Beautiful spacious condo, beautiful view from the living room. The weather was awesome, the beach was very clean. Everything is according to the pictures and description. Very very pleased on working/communicating with Bill. We found very helpful all the additional info provided. Will come back for sure. Already recommended to some friends. Thanks again for a perfect stay! Florina M
Owner response:Dear Florina...am so glad that you had the "perfect stay". That's what we love to hear! Thank you for referring us to your friends and we look forward to having you back. It was great working with you as well. Bill

Our family of 5 stayed there the week of 9/11-9/17 and can absolutely say that it was terriffic! The condo was very clean and up-to-date, and fit it's pictures and description perfectly. The entire resort grounds were clean and well maintained. The lazy river pool area was a big hit for our 3 kids. The beach was immaculate, and the beach service was a plus! We only wished we could have stayed longer. I have already recommended this condo to our friends and family. We enjoyed the Gulfarium and the pier for sight-seeing and fishing. If you are looking for VERY close-by seafood dining, the Crab Trap was delicious and so was Anglers Restaurant (at the pier).

We stayed in this unit the week of July 4th. It was very spacious and was better than we expected. The master bedroom was very large. The king size bed very comfortable. The kitchen was very "cook friendly" and was better appointed than any condo we've previously visited. The living area was plenty of room with ample eating and lounging space. We used the washer and dryer every day which allowed us to pack so much less. My sister and her two kids joined us for the last three days of our visit so we even utilized the sleeper sofa and bunk area. The girls loved the bunks as did our 3 year old. The bathroom attached to the bunk area gives you two full baths which was great! So, even with 6 of us we had plenty of space. It felt like home we were so comfortable. The best part though has to be the porch and patio area. We spent over 50% of our time out there. The view of the lazy river, pools, and bay were very beautiful - especially at night. The access to all the amenities from this unit was awesome. Just walk out the gate of the patio and you're wet! The beach is a walk but we viewed that as fun and good exercise, and well worth the trip. I used our beach chairs in the afternoon while my husband and son napped. The sprinkler play area was my son's favorite. There is absolutely nothing negative we can say about this unit and our experience (except the kid upstairs that thought it was cool to throw trash down to our area). This is a place we would definitely stay again and have already recommended to friends. Thanks Bill!

Very nice condo! Perfect for our family of four. The kids loved the bunk beds and the master is very nice. Perfect location with so much to do around the resort. The walk to the beach wasn't too far and beach service was nice during our stay. The pools and lazy river were a huge hit as well. We loved the decor along with the cleanliness of the condo. We can't wait to visit again. Thanks Bill!

This condo is fantastic. It completely lived up to the pictures on VRBO and the owners' description. The first floor location provides a LOT of extra space that works really well with the lazy river/pool area. My wife and I could sit on the balcony and relax while watching the kids circle in the lazy river, which is just a few steps outside the back gate. It's a quick walk over to the beach, and the beaches at Destin West don't get nearly as crowded as some of the other places near here. The owners are super responsive and very helpful. The kids have already asked to come back to this unit next year, and we're already planning the trip. Thanks, Bill and Shelley, for a great time.

Review Submitted: 12/31/10
2011 will be our 7th vacation to DESTIN WEST. The last three years we have rented from Mrs. Shelley with ease. We have rented all three of her one bedroom condos and THIS IS OUR FAVORITE!! They are all very beautifully decorated and well maintained but this one is an end unit with windows on the side that bring in that Florida sunshine and has FREE BEACH SERVICE. The private balcony off the master bedroom is great for morning coffee to start the day. This condo is just steps away from the pools and lazy river making it easy with our little ones. DESTIN WEST is the only beach vacation spot that our 4 year old and 3 year old know and now our new little one will enjoy. We could not imagine spending our vacation and making all our family memories anywhere else! We LOVE it here and look forward to many more years to come! Thanks Shelley for working so hard on making our vacation where we don't have to worry about anything because your condo provides all that we need. Talk to ya soon and I hope you enjoyed your first christmas with your little one! :)
Owner response:We LOVE having you Michelle! Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with and for treating our condos as you would your own. We can't wait to have you vacation at one of our condos again!!! Happy New Year!!

Hi Shelley, Thank You So Much for allowing us to stay in one of your condos! Despite the weather (cold, windy and cold), we had a wonderful and relaxing time. The water was too cold to enter the lazy river or beach; but the heated pool was enjoyed by all. You were a pleasure to talk to and deal with; making the rental process easy and accommodating to first-timers. Your condo's will be highly recommended to all our friends! Tim and Bea
