Relaxing private condo

This condo was lovely. Probably one of the nicest ones we have ever stayed in. The privacy and covered hot tub is the icing on the cake. We will return in the future.

Amazing Condo Great Trip

We loved this condo! It was clean, spacious, plenty of room for our family or 6, and you can not beat the view of the bay from the bedroom window and the balcony! The hot tub was also a huge bonus! We would not want to stay anywhere else for any future trips to Destin!

Very nice condo and location

Staying on the bayside with the water right off the back deck was quiet and relaxing. The condo is very nice. Parking was great. October is a good time to visit, perfect weather and less crowds. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Condo

We had a great time at this condo. It was very well stocked with items you could need and had plenty of space for our entire group. The amenities of the complex were an added perk; I only wish it would have been a few degrees warmer to fully enjoy them! Would definitely stay here again.

Beatiful Condo!

Heron L02 was a beautiful condo, we are very happy we chose this one. Property management was wonderful and had great communication. The condo was clean, spacious, and had great views as pictured. I've stayed in a dozen condos at destin west on the bay side and this is one I highly recommend!

Great stay over New Year's

We had a great time at the unit, which was huge and just fantastic. We loved the hot tub and the amenities, which we got good use out of, even though it is winter. We were really pleased with the location, and it was just beautiful being on the water, a short walk across from the ocean, and close to my wife's family in Fort Walton.

We had the most relaxing time. Loved the place. Got to see dolphins from the hot tub every morning. Great time to go as well. Season is over. The town isn't crowded at all! Beautiful beaches and the view of the bay from bedroom window was beautiful.

Family Vacation

Beautiful condo, perfect location with a quiet view, and so many memories made. 3 kids spent sooooo much time swimming in the heated pools that our youngest went from never putting his head under to swimming underwater by the end of the trip. Loved being able to walk over the skywalk to the beach side. Loved the sea lion and dolphin shows at the nearby Gulfarium. Looking forward to a return trip!

We had such a great time! This was our second time staying in Heron L02 and it won't be our last. The place was very nice and clean with lots of room. We had 8 people staying in our condo and we had plenty of room. Can't wait until we go back next year!

Family Christmas Vacay

The property was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the view of the Gulf. We saw dolphins swimming by a few days out of our stay. Sam the squirrel stopped by the last couple of days, and Tom the cat decided to pull guard for us during our last night We will definitely return to this property, perhaps during spring break or summer vacation.

Wonderful condo

The condo is just wonderful! My four kids love staying there. The view is gorgeous, the hot tub is great, and it's convenient to lots of restaurants and the Gulfarium. We had a minor maintenance issue and the Coastal Vibe team immediately answered our text and got it resolved quickly. We will stay again!

Absolute adorable condo!!! Hot tub is a great bonus(but was a lil too hot out to use during our time there) Really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back!!! Enjoyed the lazy River very much , only went twice to the beach because of the long walk but was very grateful for the wagon that the condo supplied to haul our chair and cooler !! Great Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

College Roommates Grad Trip

We had a great time. The view was so pretty. The lazy river was so nice. My daughter and her 3 roommates just graduated from Mississippi State this past weekend and we wanted them to have a one last trip together to relax before they go in different directions in life. They had a great time. The condo was very nice and roomy and the hot tub on the balcony was throughly enjoyed. The condo had everything thing we needed in the kitchen. It was well stocked! Great trip!

Family Getaway

This was our 2nd stay at this resort. We wanted to have this condo last year but was booked. We booked early this year and got it. The view is the best of the bay and the most amazing sunsets. We had 6 people in our group young kids to seniors. We all enjoyed it! There was everything we needed in the condo. Very clean, comfortable beds, and loved the hot tub in the evenings. Great communication between the host. We would love to stay again!

The perfect winter getaway

We love coming to Okaloosa island for the winter and Destin West L02 is the perfect location. The condo is spaceous, clean and kitchen is well equipped. The view is grand and we love having our coffee on the lanai so we can watch the dolphins in the morning. If you have any issues CoastalVibe is great to work with. If you can't relax here, you can't relax. One of our favorite things about the property is it's location to everything we want and every year we find something new to explore.

Clean As Hell & Great Views

This condo by far exceeded expectations. The view was amazing and we even saw dolphins in the bay. Being right next door to the boat rental was also awesome. The pools were big enough for my family! Back to the condo when I walked in I knew it was going to be a great week because of the cleanliness of the place. The amount of furniture was nice honestly hard to come up with any criticisms. If I had to come up with any critiques it would be to have a little bit bigger TV in the living room & master bedroom for those rainy days. The hot tub on the cool evenings was the perfect addition. Having young kids we were tied to our room at 8:00 every night so having the hot tub gave us something to do later. Highly Recommend this room to anyone traveling. Also recommend renting a pontoon and going to crab island! driving east on the coastline some beautiful homes and beaches to see!
