Lovely stay

Enjoyed the property and the condo. Better signage is needed to explain how to get a cart to the parking deck with so many directions leading to only stairs but other than that it was perfect for what we needed for a kid sports event for the weekend. Would love to come back when it is warm enough to better enjoy the pool and beach. The condo & property were very clean.

One of Our Best Beach Vacations

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Destin West, thanks to the seamless online booking and check-in process. Upon arrival, we appreciated the convenience of going directly to our condo using the provided code, where all necessary materials awaited us. The cleanliness and furnishings of the condo were commendable, and the inclusion of full-size toiletries and beach service added to the overall experience. While the bed frame and mattress showed signs of wear, it didn't significantly detract from our sleep quality. Despite this minor issue, we had an excellent vacation and eagerly anticipate our return.

Attended an event at Rick's on the Island so the condo was great for that. Parked and used the Skywalk the whole week! Nice condo, great view, access to the pool, beach and gym. Only drawback, bring your own hangers.

Spring Break Stay

We loved being on the beach and the amenities of the property. Overall it was a good stay and perfect for our family. The Bayside property had heated pools so if it’s not quiet warm enough for ocean water, I’d stay on that side. It was nice to be able to walk to restaurants so the location was great. The condo itself could use some updates. The dishwasher was a little wonky and the disposal didn’t work, but overall it met our needs.

Nice beachy condo

We enjoyed our stay here. Nicely decorated condo with new kitchen appliances. Nice partial ocean view. Our only problem was that the elevator closest to us did not work for most of the week. Not the fault of the owners of the condo, so we called Destin West. They put an out of order sign on the elevator but it was not fixed during the last 6 days we were there. That made things a bit inconvenient as we had a beach cart. Otherwise it was nice being on the 2nd floor as we took the steps as often as we could. One suggestion for the condo is to replace the bedroom shade. We were awoken every morning at 7:00am due to bright sunlight coming through the shade that is currently on the window. A blackout shade or curtain is very much needed. We love staying at Destin West. Great amenities. Great location.

Florida Family Vacation 2024

This was our very first time visiting Florida and the resort was probably our favorite part! We loved the amenities and amazing views. This definitely was a 10/10 experience for me and my family. The room was very clean, although it had a horrible smell in it when we got there, we brought air freshener and it was fine after that. The Wi-Fi wasn’t great, didn’t expect it to be because after all its a large resort and many people using it would most likely slow it down, other than that everything was amazing! Staff was helpful, people were friendly, our room was in a great location and it had Easy beach access.

Not worth the cost.

The resort is awesome! My family loved the beach, pools, lazy river, hot tubs, and marina access. The room had very nice appliances but had the feel of a Motel 6. The furniture needs repaired or replaced, a light fixture needs replaced, many outlets would not hold a charger without it falling out, vcr needs to be replaced with streaming device, cheap bedding, horrible beach view due to the trees but great view of the pool. After an exhausting day, we returned to the room only to be locked out for two hours until a locksmith showed up to cut the lock off the door. When expressing my concern with Vacasa, I was offered a $100 credit which I considered an insult for a $4000 reservation.

We loved the room and the price.

G207 looks down on the end of a long narrow curving pool. The building is curved. This combination reflected and reduced noise at this end of the pool. This September location was super quiet all around. The pool and the beach are very short walks from this room. Another pool on the opposite side of the building was just as close and mostly empty. Views east and west were of clean and well kept properties. The boardwalk to the beach was expensively constructed and in excellent condition including seating above the beach in view of the sunset. G207 was super clean with new appliances and matching wares in the kitchen. It is inexpensively furnished but everything is in very good condition. Earlier reviewers didn't like the firm master bed but, thankfully, perfect for us. The facility is very well kept. Maintenance staff are always visible. Paint in the unit and externally appeared new and well done. If you miss the out of site portico for unloading to the left of the garage entrance, soft rubber tired carts will easily make the very short trip to the garage. This is the calming influence you are looking for at a good price.

Fair at best

Customer service from Vacasa and local management leaves alot to be desired. I spent a good portion of my vacation time just trying to get answers on the status of our washer dryer in the unit. Not being notified as to when the technicians were coming led to some awkward moments to say the least not to mention the loss of the full use of the condo during those times. Now having read back over some of the other issues mentioned in reviews it appears the these matters go back some months with no action. But at least they reimbursed us $60.00 for the loss of the use of the washer dryer that was noted as broke 5 days before we got there with no notice. So there is that.

The condo was fine. Then furniture was very worn and 1 of the 2 patio chairs had a hole in it. We got there Thur night put some clothes in the washer it would fill with some water and stop. So let them know about it first thing Fri morning. They kept saying someone was coming to look at it. They never did and never got it fixed. So I had to take the clothes that were wet in the washer and put in bathtub to rinse them, wring them out and put in dryer so they wouldn’t sour. Had I known we didn’t have a working washer we would not have stayed there. We use the washer when we are on vacation. We only brought 1 beach towel a person and couldn’t wash them. Drain was stopped up in shower and light out in shower. My husband fixed those things.

No Luxury Condo

The location of the condo within the property was fine. It wasn’t a long walk to the beach access. It just didn’t feel clean. I’m guessing it’s the carpet, but my kids feet were black after running around for a little bit. My guess is there hasn’t been updates since the Condo was built. There were no frills to make the condo feel “homey.” What little decor was hanging was dusty, and there was dust all around the air vents. Part of the sink faucet was broken, and made a horrible noise when turned on. The shower faucets were so old- and you couldn’t adjust them. The outdoor chair cushions were ripped in pieces. We wrapped them in towels to sit outside. The TVs could use updating as well. So many updates and upgrades need to be done to make this place worth the money.

TLC Needed

Destin West Resort - Gulfside 207 is a very nice unit, but it needs some minor maintenance and updates that would make it a 5 star condo and quality competition with the other units on the property. Great entryway, loved the smell of cleanliness when you walked into the unit, loved the nice sized refrigerator in the kitchen, enjoyed the view of the pool. However, I would suggest as others have to replace the seat cushions for the patio chairs and throw the old rip ones in the corner away, please, please invest in better outlets throughout the unit as I see from other reviews that this has been an ongoing issue. It was quiet annoying to have to go in the car to charge some of our devices because when you awoke in the morning your electronic device you thought was charging all night was not, and most of the other outlets would not hold the charger in the wall:(. Please replace the door to the master bath and the hole in the wall in the master bedroom under the window. Also, consider replacing the TV in the master bedroom to a bigger one appropriate for a master bedroom. Lastly, please consider pulling up the remaining carpet in the unit and replacing with matching tile or laminate wooden flooring.

Love Destin West

We really like the area, pool & being so close to the beach. The condos couch smelled old (we put sheets down just to have somewhere to sit)chair & dining room chairs are also nasty. The 2 outdoor chairs need to be replaced. Bedroom & bathrooms fine. I really think the owners need to replace that old couch & chair. Then I think no one would have complaints.

Great condo

We absolutely loved our stay at Destin West! This will be our normal spot from now on! The room was clean and equipped for everything we needed! The only complaint would be the paper thin sheet on the master bed and the headboard is not attached and hits the wall every time you move, however that is minor compared to everything! We had a great view of the pool and could see the beach. Was so nice to sit on the balcony drinking coffee and having breakfast. Everyone at the facility was kind and helpful!

Great Location on the 2nd floor, and lots of fun amenities and the resort. I will defiantly stay again. I would give this 5 stars but both seat cushions on the patio were ripped on both sides. Very easy and inexpensive item to fix. Also, 10Am check out is a little early.. 11 would have worked better. I would pay a little extra for a Noon check In vs 4pm check in. Everything was excellent. Walking distance to restaurants, shops, the pier, etc. Thank you, Kathy : )

Great location and very clean!!

Vacasa has a very clean rental and very easy check in and check out! They did leave us without wash clothes for our week, after two requests to bring us some. I ended up going out and buying some. One outlet by the master bath, in the bedroom was broken, only the bottom portion of the outlet worked. VERY annoying. Everything else was very accommodating!! I would DEFINITELY rent from them again!! As far as the condo, the furniture leaves MUCH to be desired. Night one, while trying to figure out the why remotes didn’t work, looking for a possible different remote, I looked through the tv stand and a door fell off and landed on my foot. Minor issue, but set the stage. The chairs cushions on the patio are shredded and look very low income from the pool area. Broken arm on inside chair and none of the furniture matched. It wasn’t an expensive unit, in comparison to others in the building, so it wasn’t a huge deal, but truly you could get better furniture at a thrift store.
