This condo met our needs, but it was very basic compared to other PH's. The furniture on the roof top was not what the pictured showed, the grill was old, and there were no beach accessories. We had several friends stay at other PH's,which seemed more appropriate for the price.

Thank you for your review and the four-star rating. I’m glad the condo met your needs, and I’m sorry it didn’t match the level you expected compared to other PHs. I appreciate you calling out the rooftop furniture, grill condition, and lack of beach accessories — we’ll inspect and refresh the rooftop setup and grill, add more beach gear, and update the photos/listing to accurately reflect the unit. We’ll also review pricing to ensure it reflects the amenities offered. Thank you for the helpful feedback; we’d welcome the chance to host you again.

Great location but lacking in cleanliness

The facilities and location are amazing. Pools, lazy river, hot tub, beach made it an awesome vacation. Highly disappointed with cleanliness - master shower had a large amount of hair over the drain and our feet were constantly dirty from walking barefoot in the unit. Dishwasher leaked but I believe they may have fixed it.

We will be back!

We had a wonderful time at the condo. The views, lazy river, pools, and beach access are amazing. The condo itself is great. Lots of space, very clean and comfortable. The only minor issue we had was the lounge chairs on the roof in the pics were not there so we couldn't lay out on the rooftop deck, and the washer/dryer in the unit is LOUD and barely works. It took a couple of noisy hours to dry two beach towels. Overall, the place is great and we had the best time. Would not hesitate to book again!

Mediocre

Communication and information during the process was good. Check-in was easy. However, access to the gym and beach was not very convenient. It was quite a hike to get to either. Also, the washer was broken in our condo. I text the maintenance contact but never received a response. The beds are very springy and not very comfortable.

Darin, thank you for your review. We received a message from you on the day of checkout that the washer was not working properly, but ran it twice on the same day and found no issues. We would have been happy to come sooner had we known. The beach side/gym is about a 7 minute walk across using the pedestrian bridge. You may want to consider a beachside condo at Destin West next time if you felt it was too much. We do hope that despite this issue, you had a great visit and will come back to stay again soon.

Great resort for family

The location of Destin West resort is awesome! Pool and beach access were easy with a couple kids and a wagon to tow all our stuff. Easy walk to Gulfarium, the Boardwalk shoppes and restaurants, Wild Willys and more. This specific unit is probably better for those with older kids or none at all because it's on the 7th floor. 2nd floor units had easy walking access to pool which would have been great with the littles. This unit lacked the essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. We had to purchase all that when we arrived. Check-in was easy and stay was great. Note, only the main pool (in the middle of the lazy river) and the hot tubs are heated. The lazy river and pool located beachside are NOT heated.

We had a great time with family and friends

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo overall! The location was fantastic, and the rooftop access was a highlight—perfect for watching fireworks all around the bay and gulf on the 4th of July. Destin West is always a favorite of ours with the lazy river, multiple pools, and easy beach access, which really made our trip fun for the whole family.That said, there were a few things that could be improved. The floors in the condo were quite dirty, leaving our feet black if we didn't wear shoes or sandals inside. The mattresses in all the rooms felt dated and weren’t very comfortable, and they were also quite high off the ground, making it difficult for my mother to get in and out of bed.We also would have appreciated if there were basic pantry items like salt and pepper available for guests. For families with little ones, it would be great to have a few more kid-friendly dishes—there was only one plastic bowl and cup we could use for our 3-year-old.Even with these issues, we had a wonderful time with friends and family, and we love staying at Destin West. With a few updates, this condo could be truly perfect!

June vacation

Overall was just okay. We usually stay in Santa Rosa or Seaside and prefer that area much better. Was a hassle getting to the beach, we stayed on the Bayside. There were no beach toys available, umbrella and chairs available were rusted and broken. Ice maker did not work, had to purchase ice everyday. Notified property manager on our first night and they never followed up. It is a very busy/touristy area not very convenient with young children. Lazy river on Bayside was nice, but would recommend own comfier floats. We have stayed in bigger newer homes for same cost, overall little disappointing and just okay, definitely would not go back.

Unacceptable

The location was nice. The AC and the Refrigerator broke down three days prior to our check out. We were forced to discard food that we bought for the family. Because the AC did not work, the room was uncomfortably warm and stuffy. Management and the Owner were made aware of the problem and no one fixed the problem. Need I say more!

Ronald, thank you for your feedback. We were made aware of the issue on Thursday morning (the day after you first experienced these issues) and had someone out to fix the A/C issue on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, this was after your stay ended but was unavoidable due to a part that was not available. We did find out on Saturday that the recent storm caused a power failure in the main part of the building that caused several applicances to go out. Our operations manager came by on Thursday afternoon as promised but we were unable to get anyone to come to the door. We were able to repair the fridge and would have been happy to bring you a replacement but were under the understanding that you would not need this due to checking out the next day. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused you and hope that despite these issues you will give Destin West another shot. Take care.
