About this property

Exceptional Reviews Speaks Volumes

This is the view you have been dreaming about!!!

Front and center with straight on, unobstructed, views of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico! This condo overlooks those gorgeous white sand beaches and emerald waters that this part of Florida is famous for! From glorious mornings reeling in the first catch of the day to exciting days chasing waves and splashing in the waters and then relaxing evenings on the balcony sipping wine as you watch the sun disappear into the waters beyond the fishing pier - this condo offers pure bliss for everyone!

Location, location, location! We are literally next door to the landmark fishing pier and The BoardWalk (with shopping and restaurants) on one side and the Gulf Islands National Seashore on the other. Destin West Resort is amazing! There is something for everyone! Obviously, you're here for the beach, but be sure to check out the massive pool and hot-tub just below the balcony. Across the street is the lazy river... just take the walking bridge on the third floor to get there. It's the perfect spot to float in your tube and just relax! Want to get in a workout? Head down to the ground floor and there is a full gym. Destin West Resort offers amenities far above the other communities in the area. It just does not get any better! Nature and private beauty one direction, fun and entertainment the other.

The living room is well accommodated with a comfy couch for snuggling in the evenings while you watch a movie. Or curl up with a good book in the cozy arm-chair with your feet up on the ottoman. The dining area can comfortably seat 4 and there is a breakfast bar with stools for even more seating in the kitchen area.

The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, cooking utensils, flatware, and dishes. We have it all covered! There is a Keurig in the kitchen, so if you have a favorite morning brew, bring it with you!

The beds are extremely comfortable and the bathrooms are fully stocked. If there is anything you need, do not hesitate to let us know! We love sharing this piece of paradise with our guests - many become repeat guest and long-time friends!

I have two other rental properties that you may be interested in as well, listed with VRBO.

Wonderful stay!

The location to restaurants and shopping could not have been better! The condo itself was very well-equipped with everything we needed. We absolutely loved enjoying breakfasts and lunches on the balcony overlooking the pool and beach! The washer and dryer in the unit were super helpful during our stay! We loved the lazy river area, as well as the gorgeous beach access! Bonnie was superb, very communicative and responsive when i had questions. We had such a lovely time that we didnt want to leave.

Wonderful location

Our family had a great time on our first trip to Okaloosa Island. Bonnie was great to communicate with and her condo had almost everything we could need, with wonderful views. Being able to go for morning walks on the beach for a coffee to the Boardwalk can’t be beat, or an after dinner stroll! Everything you need was really close.

Softball trip

Our condo was great. Just what the ad said & Bonnie was great to work with. Easy access to the pool & beach. Would definitely stay here again. My daughter played in a softball tournament & some of her friends stayed nextdoor. It was great for her to be able to see friends & all our family be comfortable instead of a hotel room.

Excellent!!

We usually do not stay in a condo, we may have rented one before. The hotel we tried to book was sold out so we thought we would give a Condo a try. First of all working with Bonnie, before, during and leaving the condo was fantastic.her communication was excellent. The condition of the condo was fantastic, everything you needed was there. The views of the ocean was fantastic. I loved having breakfast looking out over the ocean. The facilities at the location was fantastic. As you can tell we were very happy with our experience. What was funny we talked with people who stayed at the hotel we tried to book and they were disappointed.

Excellent!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Extremely easy to find your way around resort. The pool, hot tub, gym and beach were a dream. The double sliding doors in the unit were my favorite part. Temperatures were mild during our stay and we left them open all day with the sounds of the ocean rolling in.

Cute condo with great view

We came for a softball tournament. We didn't win any games but we definitely won the condo lottery. The unit was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well appointed, I cooked a lot and all kitchenware items needed were there. We all slept like babies in the beds every night.Bonnie was an added bonus and checked in on us. Hopefully we'll be back for the condo and softball wins!

Relaxing With Plenty To Do

We loved our stay in the condo. Having access to all the pools and the beach made life easy to entertain our kids (2 & 4). The weather was a mix of warm and cold so we appreciated the heated pools we had access to on the cooler days. The view of the oceam was great and having plenty of room on the balcony made spending more time out there even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the parking on the same level as the condo when loading the truck! Great response time from the owner. Would love to go back. Definitely one of the best beaches we have been to.

Even better than the photos

Destin West is in a great location and a short drive from airport. Host Bonnie could not have been more helpful. The unit is even more modern than in the photos. Good water pressure and no funny smells. Well appointed amenities and a million stores nearby for what you need or forgot. During our October 2024 visit, the pools were not heated. Fitness room was in good condition and opens at 7am.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Perry

Host profile image
Our son married his beautiful wife on this island. We were immediately drawn by the beautiful sunsets, dancing dolphins and the peace it brought over us. Love was in the air and we feel it everytime we come to visit!

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! We have straight on views of the Gulf. I can be standing in the kitchen or sitting in the living room and I look straight out at the beach!!! We can walk over to the Boardwalk for a sunset dinner, go float in some inner tubes when we have had too much sun, get away from everyone and walk to the east side of our property and be on national park...... it does not get any better.

What makes this property unique

We work so hard that when we come to the beach we just want to relax and re-energize. There is something about the Gulf of Mexico that rejuvinates and floating in The Lazy River is totally peaceful. It just does not get much better than this.
