Our room was beautiful and comfortably accommodated our family of six. Our girls stayed in the guest bedroom, our boys slept in the twin beds, and my husband and I enjoyed the spacious master bedroom. The layout worked perfectly for our family.The balcony overlooked the lazy river and hot tubs, offering a beautiful view that we enjoyed every day. The only minor downside was that it could have benefited from an afternoon skimming, as insects and seeds from the nearby trees tended to collect in the water.The walk to the beach was a little longer than we expected—about 10 to 15 minutes—but it was an easy, pleasant walk as long as you planned to stay for a while instead of making multiple trips back and forth.One disappointment was that our unit did not include access to the onsite gym. As someone who enjoys working out, I missed having that option. Thankfully, we still got plenty of exercise from all the walking, and we did bodyweight workouts on the balcony while enjoying the beautiful view.One of the best parts of staying at Destin West Beach and Bay Resort was the location. There were so many things within walking distance, including restaurants, souvenir shops, the fishing pier, and an adventure area with an arcade, mini golf, and go-karts. We also booked a Crab Island excursion with the tour company located right next door, which was incredibly convenient and one of the highlights of our trip.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider returning
