Great sized condo with everything you could need! Beds were super comfortable! Easily fit 6 adults with their own separate space. Outdoor porch had great view and was perfect for morning coffee or family dinners! Washer/dryer was nice to have. Pool got a little crowded with kids but could still relax. Walk to beach was super easy - had a cart and chairs we could use from previous guests. Would definitely come back!

Thank you for the 5-star review and for choosing Best Beach Getaways. Glad the condo had everything you needed and the beds were super comfortable. Happy it easily fit six adults with separate spaces and that the porch view was perfect for morning coffee and family dinners. Good to hear the washer/dryer and beach cart/chairs were useful. Sorry the pool was a bit crowded at times, but glad you could still relax. We hope to welcome you back for another beach getaway. Team BBG

The view from the deck is outstanding. We saw dolphins 3 mornings during our stay. At night the lights change colors in the pools which is beautiful. So many pools and hot tubs. Very nice to have the walk over to get to the gulf side too. Kitchen could use some frying pans and teaspoons, but otherwise was well stocked. We had trouble with the whirlpool in our bathroom and they sent someone up right away to look at it. Of course it needed a new part, but he showed us how to still use it. We left and went down to Panama City beach for a few days and I already miss Destin West. So many friendly people there too.

Thank you for the five-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the outstanding deck views and those dolphin sightings, as well as the pool and hot tub lighting and the convenient walkover to the gulf. Thanks for letting us know about the missing frying pans and teaspoons — we'll restock the kitchen. Sorry for the whirlpool trouble, but glad our technician could respond quickly and show a workaround while the part is ordered. We’d love to welcome you back to Destin West soon.

Fully furnished and stocked condo. Great views of the inlet and marina. We were told to bring our own beach towels (they are not provided). Beach accessories were available in the condo, but it was too cold for us to use them. The resort includes several heated pools and hot tubs. The lazy river is not heated. Weather was chilly when we visited but we still had a great time. The beach, boardwalk, Gulfaquarium and Wild Willy's are within easy walking distance. We cooked a few meals on the grills at the resort and in the stocked kitchen. We parked underneath the building which was very convenient. There are carts available to use to bring your stuff to & from the car.
