What a fabulous condo! Not only was it very clean, but it had so many thoughtful touches such as an ironing board, drying rack for towels, hangers, extra blankets and pillows, board games, etc. It's the little extras that this unit provided that really made our experience in this condo above and beyond other experiences with rentals. We cooked meals everyday in the unit and couldn't get over how well stocked the kitchen was -pots, pans, crock pot, storage containers, mixer, mixing bowls - you name it, it was there! I believe Rachel Ray and Paula Dean could make meals here and not want for anything. The unit had plenty of silverware and dishes for our crew of 6 so that we didn't have to run the dishwasher constantly. It's obvious that the owner is concerned with the comfort of her guests. She has thought of everything. It's move-in ready! We really couldn't ask for more. I would definitely recommend this condo. Oh, did I mention the incredible view?......Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, families with young children, romantic getaway.
Owner response: I’m so delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Your terrific review is appreciated, thank you. I watch the cooking channels, Wow, what a compliment! Thank you again, Marcy

Our second stay here in your condo was once again wonderful! Lazy days playing in the ocean and nights spent visiting the shops or walking to the pier. I'm having a full on pity party because we are leaving today!! We will be back again next year though!! Thanks for the use of the condo.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We have had such a lovely, restful week here and are sorry it is time to go! We looked through many condos on vrbo.com and this one caught our eye with the pretty beach theme inside and that spectacular view from the balcony. It certainly did not disappoint. We especially appreciatied the inclusion of the beach chairs. After days of resting by the surf (with perfect weather!), we are fully recharged and ready to tackle the world again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

This is our third stay in 501. Our week was lovely with only one rain day, dispite bad weather reports. Friends came in from Ohio to stay with us for a few days, so we had 8 at one point, but we all fit. We used the beach chairs every day and love eating out on the balcony. The view makes it feel like you are always right on the beach.Sigh! We love this place and of course, we will be back again. Thanks again, Marcy & Steve. Visited the Eglin Air Museum this time, and it was very nice, the kids enjoyed it too. We love this place, and nothing recharges you like the beach!Did you find this review helpful?

We had an Awesome time! This was our 2nd time to Destin, but our 1st time staying here. This was by far the best place we've ever stayed. We ate at some really great places-our favorite being The Shed. We also ate at Mellow Mushroom, Hardrock, Fudpuckers and Hooters! The Crab Shack was a cool place to eat lunch-on the Waterfront. They included 2 beach chairs and an umbrella-very relaxing! Something we also love about Destin (being a Military family) is a lot of places do Military discounts, so make sure you ask everywhere. Check out the Fishing Museum-Awesome.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

A Fabulous week in a Beautiful setting! My family and I look forward to this all year, and it never disappoints! We have had a funfilled week of long, relaxing days on the beach, good food at night and lots of laughter! These are the days that I will reflect on when the "oh-so normal, humdrum" workdays roll back around. Thank you for all of the conviences of home.Did you find this review helpful?

Our 2nd time here in this Condo! Our 4th year at Destin West. Our family stayed here for 10 days over Memorial Day Weekend. We loved every minute of our vacation. Beautiful ocean, soft sand between our toes, from a Lazy River and Gulf side pools. We made new friends (from LA and Knoxville, TN) and reaquainted with old friends from last year!

Wow! Pictures do not do this justice! When you book something online you're always concerned it's not what you'ld hoped. this was better! Fabulous views (we saw dolphins the first day). Beautifully decorated condo and amenities. A great way to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary! We are so relaxed I hate going back to the real world! Thank you so much for sharing this paradise. I'm sure we'll be back!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Great three weeks. Thanks Marcy & Steve for great accomodations. Saw Dolphins jumping completely out of water this year in front of the unit. One day Dolphins were about 20 ft. from shore. We saw two weddings on the beach right in front of this unit. One Saturday there were 3 Weddings on the beach. Tried new restaurants this year, Cafe Italia, Ali's Bistro, AJ's, Vinnie McGuire's Pizza place, opened just 1 month ago, this is associated with McGuires's Irish Pub. Discovered Destin Commons and Beal's Department store, great place to shop.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1
