We enjoyed the stay and the getaway from reality! The skywalk to the beach was easy to navigate. The downside of the stay was the uncomfortable sitting areas, both on the balcony and in the kitchen island/dining table.David was extremely communicative and always answered any questions with a quick turn around time - excellent to work with!Overall, we enjoyed the vacation!

Coastal Vibe totally Rocks! The condo is great! This was our second time staying there. The Coastal Vibe team communicated well with us! Our Keurig didn't work they brought a new right to our condo! They have the place loaded with pretty much with everything you need to prepare your own meals. Dining out is easy with lots to choose from! We already booked for next year! Love the heated pool & Hot tubs! ☀️

We’ve been coming to Fort Walton for the last 7 years and we love staying at Destin West!

Destin West is perfect for families, we enjoy the lazy river on the bay side and the beach and pools which are located just across the walk way. There’s no other place we’d rather stay, it always is our home away from home.

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely time at Destin West. The resort is great for families. This condo was clean and had plenty of room for our family of four. I thought it was bigger than it looked in the photos. And the view was just as good if not better. The beach chairs and wagon were a nice touch. It had everything we needed.

We had a great time, very comfortable condo great location you get off the elevator and there is the condo in front of you, which was ideal for 5 senior women, the only thing that would make it better would be a new mattress for the bottom bunk bed.
