Our family had an amazing vacation, and the condo location worked well for our needs. We appreciated the beautiful views and the fireworks from our balcony were an unexpected bonus. The condo was very beautiful and very clean when we arrived. Thank you very much for the opportunity to spend the week in your beautiful condo and we look forward to future visits.

Great Family Stay
My wife and I stayed in this unit while our kids and grandkids stayed in a unit on the bay side. We all had a wonderful time. We have stayed in the Destin West facility numerous times, and this unit was exactly as represented and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable as well as the living room furniture. The view of the beach and pool is exceptional. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay!
We have been to Destin several times and decided to try Destin West this year for a change of pace. This condo was incredibly clean, as was the rest of the property. We loved the big and little things about the condo with the many hooks for wet/damp items, washer/dryer and laundry basket, two bathrooms and pullout couch. The furniture on the balcony was awesome because we could see over the railing to the beach and view the pool perfectly. The unit was near the elevator without being so close to have noise. The parking deck was great and an easy walk straight from the condo to the 4th floor in the parking garage. It was wonderful to have two beach chairs and umbrella available to us at the beach service. Get there right at opening to get a good seat. We got there about 8:45 - opens at 9 - and there was always already a few in line. They said earlier in the summer it’s even busier so just something to be aware of. We loved that the main pool was so big and that the lazy river across the road was available to us. Highly recommend!
