The property was great. It was more equipped than we initially thought so that was a great surprise to see all the beach chairs and toys left behind by others! We even added to the collection:) The condo had just enough room for our family of 5.

Beautiful property and space for family fun! We have stayed at multiple units in the complex and have enjoyed them all. HOA is trying to enforce rules at pools and will not allow you to play your own music or play with toys except at designated pools. I appreciate this, yet find it hard to find a spot on the complex to relax and play with kids. Also, enforcement of rules was not consistent so it caused confusion and frustration among guest and staff on the property. One staff member stating she was calling the police! Enjoyed our stay, but will look for a new adventure next year.

Great condo with nice amenities right outside

This condo was super clean and well furnished with everything we needed for our four night stay. Appliances and furniture seem to be newish. The weather wasn't ideal for the beach a couple of the days we were there so staying on the bay side and having quick access to the pool was a plus. We also swam in the bay and it was fun to see little fish all around. Sunrise from the balcony was absolutely beautiful!

Very clean and nice. Everything we needed

The only thing is the mattress on the couch was not comfortable. My daughter had to buy a blow up mattress to sleep on. The dryer didnt work, but they let us use a dryer in another condo until they came to fix it. They also brought us all the towels we needed since we couldnt dry them. They were prompt in fixing things.

Great Family Place to Stay!

This is a great location and with amenities! We all enjoyed the pool area! There was a huge lazy river, heated center pool and 2 hot tubs. There is direct access to a bridge that takes you to the beach. The condo was nice end unit and had a great view of the pool and plenty of parking spots. The host always replied quickly if I had any questions. We had a wonderful time, thank you!!

Had a wonderful time at Destin West! The property was very accessible with the pools on the bayside with the bridge granting access to the beach side. Bayside pools were heated, lazy river was chilly but perfect when the sun was out! The unit was well furnished but needs a little updating.

Awesome place to visit

We had a great time, great location, the unit was really cute and everything was clean… the only issue with the unit we had was that it was very difficult to open the balcony door at the back of the unit.. if my husband wasn’t there, I’m not sure we would have gotten outside. If that gets fixed, it’d be perfect! We’ll definitely make another trip in the future. Gorgeous view. Really nice place.
