This property was perfect for our long weekend family getaway. The beach service was so convenient. The pools were awesome. The condo is walking distance from many attractions including several restaurants, arcades and mini golf, and is next door to a boat rental service, which was also great for checking out nearby Crab Island and exploring the bay. Highly recommend!
The location was great, the condo was clean, and there were several bonuses inside and out of the property. Would reccomend this location and would stay there again if we are in the area!
Great experience from 1st booking until checkout! The condo was clean, well-equipped, and excellently decorated. Owners were quick to respond to questions.
We will definitely keep this place on our short list of vacation destinations!
Brought the family to Destin West for the first time. Beach was nice - but the pool and lazy River was relaxing. Great view of bay from unit - great location on island- easy walk to restaurants from condo - quiet and just relaxing resort. Will plan to go back again.

Kids loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay at Destin West. The kids loved the bunk beds with their own TV, the fish pillows, and the lazy river. My husband and I loved the view from the balcony and easy access to the beach. It was nice having beach service with our chairs ready and waiting for us each day of our stay. The condo was well furnished, and we had everything we needed. Thanks so much for a great trip!!

So glad you had a good time. The beach chairs and umbrella make the walk to the beach so easy. We decorated the bunk room for the kids, but grown ups can enjoy the fish pillows too. Hope you'll be back again.
We loved the pool and the area . The only complaint would be the master bedroom smelled a bit cigarette smokey . We washed the sheets right away so that was fine . Other then that it was great!

I wish we had known about this issue earlier. This is is strictly a NON smoking unit. If this is the fault of the previous guests or the cleaning crew, we need to know immediately so we can investigate. We have replaced our cleaning crew so if that was the source, it will not happen again. Always let us know of issues!
Everything was how I needed it to be. Great view of pool, lazy river, and gulf! Easy beach access. The atmosphere of being outside on the balcony was superb. Felt as though I lived there. We did not want to leave. Definitely will book again. Hopefully soon!
We stayed in Pelican 504 the week of July 11th and had a great time! I stayed with just me and my two daughters and the condo worked out perfect. The location was great with a handful of places to eat and shops within walking distance. The beach service was a lifesaver and so easy to use! My girls LOVED the lazy river! It’s a great place for families to stay. There may be a few minor things in the condo that could use some updating, but nothing that would stop us from staying here again! And the owners were great at communicating and the check in was a breeze!

Beach vacation
I was very impressed with this unit. The walk to the beach did not bother my family (which included a 5 yo). Enjoyed the amenities of the gym! The only negative comment I have would be the lack of toilet paper. When we arrived there was about 1/2 a roll in each bathroom and no refills. Next time I will bring a roll of my own. I would gladly rebook this unit.

Our apologies about the lack of toilet paper. This was clearly a miss on the part of our cleaning crew. There should have been 2 full rolls there, and we stock extra in the linen closet, although sometimes the stash runs out towards the end of the season. Had we known, we would have sent the cleaning crew back with the proper supply. Thanks so much for staying and hope to have you back.

Great Last Vacay of TWO!
We had a great experience! My husband and I went on our last vacation of two and had a great time. The place was nice and the pictures look just like the room. With me being preggo I did have a thing about smell and the room smelled funny, but that could have been just me. Our room/balcony was smoke free however, our neighbors smoked on their balcony and I believe the building was a smoking building. That wasn't the nicest, but other than that I have no complaints. The bed was amazing! The size was perfect! It was a haul to the beach, but the beach side service was awesome! I won't be going back to the beach unless I have that! :) Overall, great stay in our room and the owners were very helpful and good at responding to questions.

Our condo is a non-smoking unit. There is not a complex-wide smoking policy, and smoking in units and on balconies is determined by individual unit owners. We depend on our guests to adhere to our non-smoking policy and in the event of a problem, we can immediately send our cleaning crew over to eliminate the problem.
Update - For our guests comfort, Destin West Bayside is now non-smoking in all common areas, including the lobby, outside areas around the elevator, dock, lazy river and pool deck.
Cleanliness was very sub par. There was sunscreen all over front of ottoman, stains on the couch which you could hear the springs move every time you say in it, stain on the chair, big chocolate type stain on the curtain. Curtains don’t close all the way. Furniture in living room was very mediocre at best. I will say communication with owner was great and fast. I hadn’t informed them while we were there because I didn’t want to have people in and out during our stay. I felt it should have been clean when we got there, especially for the money you pay.

As noted, there was no communication from this guest around any issues. We address anything as soon as it is brought to our attention. We've had no complaints about the couch - it was new last year and is a pull out. It's not going to be like your couch at home. The cleaning crew will be notified about the miss on the sunscreen. Again, always give your hosts a chance to address your concerns.
Nice property. Beautiful beaches and views. Property managers very responsive. Enjoyed Ft. Walton Beach.
Property itself needs maintenance. Fitness center especially, which was important to me. Broken treadmills, equipment that was not maintained at all. Belts need adjusting, pulley bearings screaming for grease. Both hot tubs on bay side didn't have working jets. They said switches were ordered. We were there almost 5 weeks. Used to have activities there, not so anymore. Disappointed that many restaurants shut down until after March 1. No beachside services as advertised. The gorgeous beaches made up for some of this. Overall, a nice getaway...

Winter can be a slow time in the Florida panhandle. The fitness center is not managed by our HOA, and we actually no longer have access to it. The jets are now working in the spas. Senior activities where suspended during covid and some may not be back yet - Destin West does not organize those. The beach service is available from Mar 1 to Oct 31. Good to hear your getaway was still nice
Property and unit were very clean. The grounds and pool were cleaned daily. The workers would start early in the am so everything looked great by 10 am. Our unit overlooked the bay area as well as the pool. Great view and I actually like that we stayed on bay side better than ocean side. There is a walkway that takes you over to the beachside. There were 2 chairs included in our rental which was really nice. You have to reserve them every morning and the line starts early (8 or 9am) . I suggest reserving early and go back with your stuff later.
The unit itself had everything we needed. It was just myself and spouse but 2-3 other adults could've been comfortable as well. Balcony was great and very relaxing. You can walk to serval different restaurants from the condo. Traffic can be tough at times but that is normal for the area.
