REunion Retreat
Three couples stayed for a long weekend. We were back in Ft Walton for a HS Reunion and the location was perfect. Close but not TOO close. We Ubered to both Destin and Ft Walton for events. The back patio was perfect to relax and watch the boats going by. The beach was an easy walk. Plenty of space in the condo to spreadout and unwind. Thanks again.

Beautiful condo with a great view!
Our family absolutely loved this condo for our vacation! It was exactly as listed and had the best view from the balcony. We watched sunsets in the evenings and looked for jellyfish during the day. It had comfortable furniture and lots of open space. We were pleasantly surprised by the k cups/coffee provided and lots of beach toys/chairs/beach cart. Getting down to the Lazy River pool was very easy and was our favorite spot while visiting. There’s a great restaurant next door (Ricks) that was easy to walk over to and get takeout or enjoy the live music. We felt so at home at this condo and did not want to leave, we will definitely be back!

Perfect Fall Getaway
This is a fantastically decorated condo with lots of little touches that made it amazing. Kitchen was very well stocked with spices and things that aren't always available. We will definitely stay here again and have nothing but fantastic memories.

Excellent Stay
We have stayed at Destin West yearly for 12 years and all agreed this was our favorite condo to date! The condo is beautifully decorated, clean, and has beautiful views of the bay! The unexpected extra amenities such as a beach cart, beach toys and pails, and even keurig coffee made it even more special.

Lovely property
Condo was very comfortable, had everything we needed. Beautiful views off balcony overlooking bay. However, the neighbors dryer vent over lounge chairs on the balcony made it a little uncomfortable when they began their dryer. I felt a surge of heat (even over the heat outside) and the smell of dryer sheets to which I’m not a fan.
Pools are just a short walk, and beach was comfortably accessible via elevators and sky walk.
Beware, we experienced a lot of jellyfish in the bay which made being in the water a little unnerving. I had visions of floating in the shallows not being pummeled by waves, alas, not to be. A local seemed to think it’s no big deal getting stung, I’ll leave that one up to your own discretion, me personally, I opted to skip the ‘sting’ experience.
FYI, it was the same at crab island if you choose to take out a boat from the nearby pier.
Overall lovely resort.

Beautiful property!
Beautiful, clean and comfortable condo! Amazing views of the bay and right next to pontoon and jet ski rentals. There were all kinds of goodies waiting for me and my kids upon entering the condo. So thoughtful to add that touch!
