This was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. All my children 8,8, 14 and 15 were happy. Plenty to do and with in walking distance. Gas station next door, Publix 1 mile away. The pools are amazing. Bay was nice, even had a tiny beach area. Wish I brought fishing rods. Beach was right across the road but we used the bridge and walked over the road . The unit was better then expected, everything needed was there. Washer and Dryer was so nice. I was able to wash out beach towels. If your thinking of staying DO IT.

My family truly enjoyed staying here. We've been coming to Destin West for several years and this was our first time at this location but not our first time with Coastal Vibes Vacations. They provide very clean accommodations for our stay, and we'll be staying with them for future vacations too! They communicate clearly so nothing is left out.

We enjoyed the stay and the getaway from reality! The skywalk to the beach was easy to navigate. The downside of the stay was the uncomfortable sitting areas, both on the balcony and in the kitchen island/dining table.David was extremely communicative and always answered any questions with a quick turn around time - excellent to work with!Overall, we enjoyed the vacation!

We’ve been coming to Fort Walton for the last 7 years and we love staying at Destin West!

Destin West is perfect for families, we enjoy the lazy river on the bay side and the beach and pools which are located just across the walk way. There’s no other place we’d rather stay, it always is our home away from home.

Coastal Vibe totally Rocks! The condo is great! This was our second time staying there. The Coastal Vibe team communicated well with us! Our Keurig didn't work they brought a new right to our condo! They have the place loaded with pretty much with everything you need to prepare your own meals. Dining out is easy with lots to choose from! We already booked for next year! Love the heated pool & Hot tubs! ☀️

Great view of the bay and overlooking the lazy river. Bit of a long walk to the ocean across the skyway and all the way through the other half of the property but the water was beautiful and we got to see dolphins! It was unseasonably cold and we never found a heated pool. The lazy river, our favorite, was long, deep, had plenty of tubes, and freezing water. My only complaint was I brought flavored keurig capsules, and there was no Keurig as description indicated, then they brought me an old one that didn’t work so I had to go half the trip without coffee in the cold.
