Room was very nice. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen could use a few more things, like dish cloths, new cookie sheets, and maybe some beach towels would have been nice. Great location and beautiful grounds.
Thank you for your 5-star review. We’re glad you had an awesome stay and appreciate the recommendation. We’d love to host you again!

The property and condo was great. Easy access to restaurants. I had 3 elderly parents and my husband. The handicapped parking was nice. There are carts available to help load and unload your vehicles. Everyone we encountered was courteous, staff and other tenants.I would absolutely stay at this facility again.

Always a great vacation spot. Kids like the closeness of the bay and hopping in to find crabs. Lazy River is very relaxing and where we spent most of our time. The condo was clean and comfortable!

We had a great time. We’d stay in this resort again. They were very attentive to our needs. The only thing that would be nice was to have beach supplies available as we traveled from AZ and couldn’t pack all the things.

The condo was fantastic! Destin West was amazing as usual! We won't stay anywhere else! The only suggestion I have is to have the Master bedroom airflow checked as it did not cool down like the rest of the house!

Destin West is an excellent facility. It was great as always. We've vacationed here roughly 10 times in the last 15 years and have never had a bad stay. This unit was in good shape. The handle on the master shower was a little dodgy, but we figured it out. One more Roku on the TVs would have been helpful, but overall, this is an excellent unit. Your balcony gets sun in the morning and is shaded in the very hot afternoon. Being just a bit higher than the palm trees gives you an exellent view of the bay and the pool. You even have a slight view of the Gulf.

This property was the best we have stayed at!! Definitely looking forward to stay here again!! Plenty of room for 10 people, loved the washer and dryer that was a must!! Gorgeous view 😍 sunrise was to die for!! Night view was gorgeous!! 10 min walk to the beach we didn’t mind!!
The property was very nice, clean, and accommodating for our large family! The only downside was that the splash pad is no longer operating. However, my children enjoyed the pools and lazy river! We also loved the convenience of the sky walk to the beach! We will definitely book again!

Hey Brittany, thank you fro your feedback. We're glad your family enjoyed the multiple pools and the lazy river! And also got to take advantage of the skybridge to the beach. We're sorry about the inconvenience of the splash pad being out of order. We have our operations team looking into this further. Thanks again for your review!
We had a great stay. The unit was nice and clean. The condo amenities were great. The element on the stove blew up while we were cooking on our first night. Someone was out the next morning to look at it. They weren’t able to get a new stove in during our stay but brought us a large countertop oven a couple days later that we could cook in. There’s more beds than what I saw on the listing which was great. There’s a twin trundle bed under the bunk bed and a pullout bed in the couch. We would stay here again.
