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.

Wonderful!
This vacation property was exactly as pictured, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. We have stayed in multiple VRBOs, and this was the first comfortable master bed we have slept on. The property was very well maintained, and employees constantly checked to ensure those in and around the pool were facility members. I was worried about the potential young springbreaker crowd around my young kids but found this was never an issue. The pool hours and music were regulated by facility staff with professionalism and were never an issue. It was a lovely vacation, and I hope we can return someday.

Love this area, but condo
The location of the condo and the area is gorgeous. We love to vacation here. However things in the condo were not up to par for this area. The ice maker didn’t work all week, shelves and doors were broken in the fridge. The property management company was not timely in responding to any of our requests and they enter the condo without notifying us of when they would be there. We had friends who stayed in another condo and they did not have the issues that we do. Communication is imperative and they were not timely with their responses.

Best Beach Getaway
This was our first VRBO rental. Very pleased. Carefree check-in is the best! Also loved the keypad entry - no keys to keep up with. Unit was just as described. Lots of room, never felt cramped with 5 adults. Kitchen very well stocked. End unit meant little to no noise from neighbors. Pools and lazy river were clean and well kept. King bed and bunks comfortable. Didn’t use sofa bed. Chair bed in master is not comfortable at all so we used an air mattress. Sofas in living area comfortable. Loved the skywalk over to the gulf side. We did have an issue with dryer sounding like it was going to explode at midnight - called emergency number who walked us through turning it off. We were told it would be repaired 2 days in a row while we were there. It was not. Note for next time to bring enough clothes if unable to wash/dry. Again, we were still very pleased with the unit and resort and would definitely choose this unit again. Would love if all rental agencies/owners would put a resort map in the unit as well.

Another Owner was a Tyrant!
The condo was great! It has plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. I recommend you bring toilet paper because they only left us about 1/4 roll. The pool area was nice except for this lady named Julie. She is one of the owners and would harass everyone as they entered the pool. She even harassed an 8 year old special needs child and argued with the parents about his age. She made the entire week very unpleasant. She had her pool boy come to o our table and lower the umbrella because it was raining. All of our phones and personal items got soaked. It was not windy nor lightening. It would have been great if she wasn’t there to harass people.

Wonderful Experience
We traveled to the Florida Panhandle for a wedding. We always look for Condos with lazy rivers which is why we chose to stay at Destin West. The condo was the best one we have ever visited. It was clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked. The property was clean, safe and the lazy river was very enjoyable. We will definitely do this one again.

Cute Condo, needs a little deep cleaning!
This condo was very cute. Easy to find and access on the first day. The starter set of necessities was almost just enough. Bed was very comfortable and water pressure in the shower was great. We did not use the skywalk for beach access as it seemed like quite a walk with kiddos. The public beach access is right across the street with bathrooms. Also, the Publix grocery was very close too! Our only complaint is that the condo needs a good deep cleaning. The baseboards all looked filthy and if you looked under the furniture at all you may have found a surprise! We would definitely stay again though.

Great resort!!
Very clean and comfortable condo and resort!! Plenty of room in condo. Very easy check in and easy access to get into condo. Great view of entire resort from condo deck. Nice to sit and people watch as can see lazy river and other pools. Also can see the bay and nice to walk around the resort too. Beautiful landscaping. Easy to park in garage and very nice to have access to beach chairs, umbrella, etc. Short walk to beach via walkway over beach road. Can enjoy pools on their gulf side resort too. Many great fresh seafood choices nearby via walking or driving. Loved this family resort and its many amenities. Do wear your pool bands as they do check but they are nice about it. This was by far the easiest place to book and check in to and condo has everything you need. Lots of cooking utensils/dishes and updated appliances. They also had plenty of beach towels which was unexpected. Will definitely come back in the future!!

Stylish space for a small family
Our family enjoyed y this stylish corner unit. We have older children (19,21) so I’m not sure I would stay at this resort again because it’s really geared to families with younger kids. Having said that though you do get a lot from the facility and you’re near so many of the local attractions.
