We absolutely loved our stay! The condo itself was beautiful, clean, and exactly as listed. We loved all the room we had, both inside and outside. Having access to the rooftop was an added bonus. We typically spend most of our days at the beach, so we were nervous about the walk to the beach, but it was not bad at all! We did also enjoy the lazy river quite a few times. We will definitely be back!

We've stayed at this resort before and it's a great room. Similar to previous rooms with the exception of stairs to go to the roof. The stairs are nice, but not as impressive as the larger PH with hot tub and all. We didn't stay up there, but that's because we went to my brother's room and went to his roof. So it is nice if you like to look out at night. The bed was great and I complained about the bed from my previous stay at this resort (different room). I wasn't in pain when I slept. They communicated super well and I appreciated everything about them. Really great stay and look forward to coming back.

Great Location and Views

Destin West is a great location with many good restaurants, shopping and activities near by. It is an easy walk to the beach, and the pool area with the lazy river is a great alternative if you want to keep it closer to the condo. There a great views of the bay from the balcony and the gulf from the rooftop terrace. I would absolutely rent again as the process was easy and its a short 20 min trip from the airport.

Beautiful place, Great location

We absolutely loved Destin West. The kids had a great time playing in the lazy river and splash garden. The view over the lazy river and bay was gorgeous. We especially loved that we could walk to the boardwalk for dinner and then across the street for some mini golf. So many choices and you don't even have to drive!
