We really enjoyed our stay here. The views are beautiful and being able to walk to the beach anytime was perfection. The hot tub was sparkling clean and so nice to have it and the balconies all to ourselves. Destin West Beach and Bay Resort is great as well, the pools, the bay, the pier...you couldn't ask for more amenities! Coastal Vibes was amazing to work with, we felt very taken care of. Just overall a great experience.

Amazing again
This is our second stay in the penthouse! It continues to be the perfect getaway for our family! I love the privacy, the space and amenities provided, and proximity to parking, shops, restaurants, and of course the beach. It has the best views of the sunrise and sunset. Can't wait for our next chance to vacation here!

Great stay! Great Views!
Great stay! Only negative is the shower in the master bath kinda leaks out onto the bathroom floor. Loved the views and the pools. Watching the fireworks from the Hot Tub on the roof was a great experience. Would definitely book this condo or another at Destin West.
We are so appreciative of our awesome guests. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It means the world to us! We hope you choose Coastal Vibe Vacations for your next vacation!

Best condo stay ever!
The condo was gorgeous, well equipped and clean. We had a great week here and will definitely be back. Made use of both outdoor spaces to enjoy the views when we wanted to stay in.
Great location, great property! The room was just as described. Nicely decorated and has everything you need.

Great Condo for a Beach Vacation
Resort and condo were very clean. Appreciated the starter supplies which were more than other places we've stayed at. The balcony and roof top deck were nice for enjoying the outdoors when back at the condo. Also, having easy access to both the beach and pools was amazing for a relaxing and fun family vacation!
The property was perfect for our family that ranges in kids ages from 3 to 15. Access to the beach and multiple pool options felt like a true luxury. The roof top access was perfect for enjoying fireworks on several nights. Overall 5 star experience.
This is the second time at this property in this unit, and we loved it just as much as the first time. The rooftop hot tub is a luxurious amenity, the beds are comfy, and there's plenty of space for lounging inside and out. Decor is modern but homey. Love, love, love this place!
Renting PH-01 villa gulfside was of great ease. The property was great location and unit was clean and convenient to parking as well. The owners responded with in an hour or less to questions I had. We will definitely be staying again.

Super condo with amazing views
We had a wonderful vacation at this condo. This was our third time at Destin West and this condo did not disappoint. The roof top hot tub was a hit with the entire family and the views from this unit are spectacular. The unit had everything we needed and was in good working order. Thanks for another fantastic family vacation!

Relaxing vacation
This is our second vacation at Coastal Vibes, process was easy and any questions were answered promptly. Check in and parking were wonderful, was nice to have ample parking on the 6th floor. Great views from the penthouse and easy access to the beach and pier. We spent most of our time right on the beach. Seen lots of dolphins off pier and even experienced string rays swimming along the coastal beaches which was an experience we have never had. Check out was easy and will definitely be back.
This property is amazing. My husband and I were there all week and my son and his friend stayed in the bunks one night. The amenities were plenty and comfortable. My friends with other rooms on the property envied the amount of space, high ceilings, decor, and private hot tub. The price was only slightly higher than the cramped efficiency we were in the year before. If we come back to Destin next year, this will be our first choice.

Due to covid, we were unable to celebrate in 2020. Even restaurants were closed. We drove 4 days coming and going, but were rewarded with beautiful views, roomie accommodations, and warm weather.. the condo was equipped with everything we could possibly need. We had a great time.

Amazing Rooftop Views
We enjoyed the rooftop hot tub each morning. The lower balcony was spacious with plenty of seating. Stocked kitchen for anyone who likes to cook. Crockpot, air dryer and seasoning provided. The only negative is the sliding glass doors are hard to open. We had beautiful weather and enjoyed our week at the beach. Thank you!
