What a little piece of paradise staying in this clean,spacious condo...we had lots of family visiting and were very comfortable with room and privacy.Wether you want a quiet retreat, or a get a way filled with meeting nice families, you can have it all! Great location to the convenient boardwalk, and fun park right on the beach for young kids to play while you watch and relax with a margarita in hand! The pools and water fun for families is a huge bonus!What a nice way to regroup and get away from the hustle and bustle of reality. Thank you for the oppurtunity, and for being so informative,easy to get a hold of, and mostly for the cleanliness and comfort of home. Many Blessings!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks again for Staying with us ... I am glad you enjoyed your stay!

We had a wonderful time and experience at this condo! It was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The balcony was relaxing and we were able to enjoy some nice dinners around the large table. The kids had a fantastic time at the lazy river both during the day and evening. What rounded out the beautiful condo was that the owners were easy to work with. Not only were they efficient, but it was apparent that they were personally interested in making our stay enjoyable. Many thanks to them....we will be back!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

This property doesn't get any better if you have kids!!! First, the condo location is great! The only place that i know that has a crosswalk is SOOOO NICE! And safe! Second, the lazy river, all the pools are WONDERFUL! And to top things off, you can send the kids down to the pools safely and check on them out your balcony!!! In regards to the condo itself, it is everything in everyway described. WE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!!! My only tiny complaint......which is really scraping to find one, is the kitchen could use a few more cooking utensils, pots/pans, ect...... but nothing that isn't liveable!!! Owners wonderful to deal with. This will be our 2nd year back to this condo with friends, and will probably never go anywhere else; other than on the beach side when the kids get older. Our children love the pools more than the ocean!!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Thanks for coming back. We are glad to have you. We realized the kitchen was starting to get sparse and have replenished it with more dishes, pots, pans and utensils. We appreciate your suggestions and please let us know what can make your stay better… We want to keep having you back!

Praises to the owners for this listing...we arrived late in the evening and it was easy access to the unit, everything was exactly as described in the listing, the decor was beautiful, comfortable and very inviting. Our family really enjoyed the lazy river and pools on site and equally enjoyed the easy access to the beach side. Something for everyone, from young children, teenagers and the adults. I would add that we were here in June 2010 and the beach was gorgeous, crystal clear waters and the sand was clean and "oil free", not as portrayed on tv. We definitely will come back again and have already suggested this unit to other family and friends.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at your condo ! The furnishings/decor were so beautiful as well as spacious, comfortable and accommadating. We were a family of 4 adults and two children We had the best of both,the sunrise seen off the living room balcony and the sunset off the front door balcony. The lazy river was so relaxing and the skyway made it so convenient to go the beach and the oceanside pools. Thank you for all the provisions and we can't wait to visit again !!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, people with disabilities, sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

Destin West is beautiful and perfect place! Your rental condo is the perfect three bedroom rental unit. Okaloosa Island is spectacular and Ft. Walton Beach is only two minutes away.
