The management company was great to work with! The resort itself was so nice! Super friendly staff! Would’ve been better with warmer weather for the pools but still a great location- beautiful beach, pools, great restaurants to walk to! Top notch condo location with a great patio! The condo itself is in great need of a renovation. Very outdated- old, gross furniture, heavily stained and broken curtains, water damaged wood in both bathrooms, rust all over the refrigerator, old appliances. Will visit this resort again but will choose a more updated condo for sure!
We had a few other friends book in the same resort but our host and our room was top tier! Everyone had something to complain about but we LOVED our room and the pool right at the patio is top notch. I NEED clean and this was so nice. The place was clean all the bedding smelled like fresh laundry soap. The water heater was great as well. The resort itself was so great, the staff was so nice and always felt safe. They always walk the property to make sure no one is sneaking over and checking for wrist bands. The bay side is open to us as well. Just made it so easy to stay busy and relaxed. We had a scary neighbor issue and he was removed from property and it was taken care of quickly. Will definitely rent this place again!!
Spotless condo, best access to beach and pool. Super fun for kids. Has all beach toys. Chairs on beach at your service. Can be crowded in busy season, bring fan or sound machine.

We have booked with Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals many times over the years. Always a pleasure to work with. We were approved for an early check in time. Not sure if a party checked out on the day we checked in but a big thank you to house keeping for having the condo ready for our stay.

We loved our stay here. The kitchen had everything we need, the beds were comfortable, and the place was super clean. What sold us with this place was level ground, right at the pool, and easy access to the beach. They had some beach toys and chairs for us to use also, so we didn’t have to bring anything but beach towels and our cooler down there. We even had the master bathroom faucet break on us and they sent maintenance immediately to replace it. The location was great and we felt safe the whole time. It was a great trip! We will definitely be back. Thanks for the memories we created

We hope you can visit again. Destin West is a great place to visit. We hope to see you again.
This condo was the perfect location to enjoy the beach, pool and local amenities! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils and the beds were comfy. The pools were clean and we had plenty to choose from! The kids loved the lazy river. Complimentary beach chairs were included with this condo, and additional beach chairs were available on the lanai. The condo could use a little renovating here and there- but nothing that effects the over all stay- Condo was very clean and tidy. We’d recommend this condo to everyone.

Hi Tammy,
Thanks so much for your recent review. I am so sorry you did not reach out to us about the bed and washer dryer. If the washer and dryer were loud, we would send our maintenance to take a look for you. Mattress comfort seems to be an individual preference. So sorry you did not find it comfortable.
Thanks again,
Christina
We really enjoyed our stay. This is our 21st year staying at the Destin Westin. This has been my favorite condo so far. The only downside was losing power multiple times and the loss of television many times for long periods of time. At one point we lost for over 24 hours

The pools and lazy river were awesome.
Being able to step right out to pool was very nice and so convenient with kids! Yet it still had the private feel to the patio. And the close proximity to the beach is very nice and made it so easy to go back and forth. Condo slightly dated but worth staying there for all the extras. Would stay again.
