Family Vacation

Had a wonderful time at Destin West! The property was very accessible with the pools on the bayside with the bridge granting access to the beach side. Bayside pools were heated, lazy river was chilly but perfect when the sun was out! The unit was well furnished but needs a little updating.

This is a great location and with amenities! We all enjoyed the pool area! There was a huge lazy river, heated center pool and 2 hot tubs. There is direct access to a bridge that takes you to the beach. The condo was nice end unit and had a great view of the pool and plenty of parking spots.

Great condo with nice amenities right outside

This condo was super clean and well furnished with everything we needed for our four night stay. Appliances and furniture seem to be newish. The weather wasn't ideal for the beach a couple of the days we were there so staying on the bay side and having quick access to the pool was a plus. We also swam in the bay and it was fun to see little fish all around. Sunrise from the balcony was absolutely beautiful!
