The bunk area is separate and private with a "ceiling to floor" retractable curtain for privacy. That way the kids don't need to bother the parents in the morning. A full-size separate washer and dryer is inside the condo that you can use to keep your belonging fresh and clean.

You will love the new King Bed in the spacious Master Bedroom... comfortable and roomy. The Master Bed room is furnished with classic and comfortable furniture.. All top of the line. Don't forget the added value of this corner condo...both with the multiple windows and the added private balcony off the Master Bedroom. Imagine yourself sipping coffee while you sit on the balcony and look out over to the State Park, Beach and waters of the Gulf (across the street) and Destin proper (off to the East). Its all part of the experience of staying with us in Sandpiper 501..

The furniture in the Living room is classic/rich-looking and comfortable. The dinning table with the bar stools allows full dining pleasure for 6. A new designer sleeper sofa and adjustable lounge chair are all you need to lounge around and sleep very comfortably in the living room area.
Destin West beach and Bay (Caribbean style resort) is one of the newest and most unique on Okaloosa Island. In the middle of a lush, tropical landscape (bay side) is a lazy river ( the longest in the area) with a zero entry pool and 2 hot tubs. Fish from the bay, catch dinner and grill on one of the many BBQ's. Want to spend time on the beach? Just a fun walk over the SKY WALKWAY.

Okaloosa Island is centrally located near great restaurants, night clubs, water sports, fishing piers, water parks, aquarium and the Boardwalk that has really fun bars and night clubs. Just over the bridge is the Harborwalk's fine restaurants, shops and fireworks every Thursday night in the summer.

We absolutely loved our stay! We are a family of 5 people and there was more than enough room. This condo offered great furniture and nice bedding for a rental. Everything was clean and worked as it should. The lazy river was awesome for the relaxing! It’s 3 ft all the way around. The sky walk was wonderful to use to get to the private beach area. You can rent the cute blue umbrellas and chairs for easy convenience. We give it 5-stars all the way around!!

perfect vacation

We loved the condo itself and the amenities. Perfect get away for a family with young children. I loved that resort was on both sides, ocean and bay, and had a sky bridge to safely cross the (extremely busy) highway. Unit was well equipped and tastefully decorated, owners were great.

Beautiful, pristine unit perfect for a family of four!

Super spacious and beautifully decorated unit worked perfectly for us and our 2 teen/preteen sons. King master BR had a super comfy bed. Lovely view of the bay. The property is well-kept and the lazy river is great. Walk over a building and up a few floors to cross over to the beach. We moved this unit, and it had everything we needed.

Fun for toddler!

My husband, 2.5 year old son and I stayed in the condo and both sets of our parents stayed in the RV park. We had a great time. Pretty easy access to the beach and lots of pools to choose from. The condo was clean and very comfortable. We did a Walmart grocery pick up, which is incredibly convenient. Make sure to read the list of what to bring. We would definitely stay here again. Great communication.

WONDERFUL CONDO!

We've rented a fair amount of condos, and this one was the BEST EVER! Neat, clean, well furnished and everything thing we needed. The overall location is so well maintained! During our stay the cable TV was updated. It was nice to have a 'guide' on the remotes. Honestly, have no negative things to say! It's on our "visit again" list. Thanks again for making our time in at Destin West a wonderful memory!

Visiting Niece

We stayed for three days while visiting our niece who is stationed at Hurlburt Air Field. We had a great time relaxing on the patio and hanging by the pools/lazy river. The place was spotless, very clean and nicely decorated. Check-in was a breeze. We wore our pool bands when down at the pool, but no one ever asked to see them. Beds were comfortable and we watched the sun rise from the balcony in the master bedroom and set from the patio off the living room. Very relaxing. Just a helpful hint, they do not provide toilet paper or salt/pepper (which are some of the things you normally don't think you need to bring) so be sure to bring your own.

Destin West #501 Great condo in a well maintained complex with great water features

Glenn and Peggy provided excellent instructions so there was no need to contact them during our stay. We knew exactly what we needed to bring. The condo was immaculate, the master bed so comfortable, and the furniture is great quality. It felt like home. Many other rental properties I've stayed are uncomfortable with a mish mash of cheap furniture. That is not the case here. The furniture is thought out down to table lamps and mirror where you need it. This was a part work & part vacation trip for me and the internet was also high speed. If in the area again, I would most definitely choose a Glenn & Peggy property.

Finished our 9th week long visit to our "Home away from home"

After 9 week long visits, why do you think we already have a 10th week long visit booked for May 2017? This condo and the owners are superior to most anything you'll find in the area. In the past I have written long winded reviews and mentioned such things as how well Peg and Glenn treat their renters, how well they keep the unit updated etc. I found the new "LOG" (Note pad) in the unit when we got there this time and was the first one to use it - I am really looking forward to going back in May and seeing what other's have written . Hopefully there will be many comments for all to share. Once again, thanks Peg and Glenn for sharing this unit and as usual - looking forward to our next visit.

WE DID NOT THINK IT COULD GET ANY BETTER, BUT IT DID!

This is the 5th year we have stayed at this property and it was nice before, but the improvements that have made since we were here last year are outstanding. The new King Bed, the new night stands (master and Bunk room), the new fridge/freezer , microwave and what appeared to be a new dishwasher were very nice. The new sofa/sleeper and the chair are nice, as well as the upgraded TV’s and the wireless internet. My laptop wireless crapped out the first day we were there, however I was surprised to see the dual band modem and an Ethernet cable available so I could hook up that way. Great foresight by the owners. The owners were very easy to work with and the entire experience was great. How great was it? We have already booked for a week in this unit in May, 2015.
