Perfect location and Perfect accomodations!
5/5 stars
Ken was so hopeful in helping me book this last minute staycation. He recommended this unit because of its close proximity to the best restaurants, and view! If you are looking for easy beach access, great local food, and comfortable but luxurious stay, this unit was perfect!

Thank you for staying with us. Destin West is a great resort for families or couples. Convenient to everything, it is a nice alternative to Destin proper.

Family Trip
5/5 stars
This was our third time staying at Destin West but first time on the gulf side. The view was great from the balcony. The lazy river was not as clean as it was on previous trips but the large gulf side pool was cleaned daily. The beach service should allow weekly rentals so don’t have to wait in a line until 9am each morning. They rent 1st come 1st served. We ended up renting next door with other company who would allow us to reserve chairs for the week. The condo was convenient and clean. We love the close proximity over the bridge into Destin. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Wonderful Vacation Home Away from Home
5/5 stars
My family loved visiting Destin West. The condo was very clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning, loved watching the waves come in, and the proximity to the beach was perfect. The bunk beds worked perfectly for our children. We hope to visit again next year and plan to stay in the same spot. Also, all questions were answered quickly and we had no issues the entire week. The pool was so clean and the lazy river was awesome. We are so glad we found the perfect vacation spot!
- Tonya Wilson

This is one of my favorite condos too. The view is great and the resort has a great select of pools, easy beach access and a parking garage.

GREAT TRIP !!!
5/5 stars
I have had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful place for over the past 15 years. We go typically 3-4 times a year and enjoy it every time! I love the view of the gulf and huge swimming pool from the balcony. I enjoy the view of the gulf, intercoastal, and Destin from the front door area. I love the parking garage, the elevators and the trash dump being so close to the entry of the condo. I find it all to be very accessible and nice for a great getaway. This condo is always clean and it fits a family of 4-5 very comfortably ! I enjoy the pool and the places that are in walking distance to the condo. I have never had a problem while being here and i have stayed in this condo for well over 25 trips. THANK YOU for having such a beautiful place that we can actually afford to visit and see this beautiful beach !!!!! I am always SUPER PLEASED by staying here!!!!
- Chris

Thank you for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and continue to vacation with us. The gulf view and swimming pool are fabulous. See you next year.

WOW the view !!
5/5 stars
The beach is beautiful white sand, and the view from this condo is terrific. In the evenings you can see all the city lights, and they do fireworks off the nearby pier. We had a relaxing stay, and the management was wonderful. The check in was easy, as you get a door code, and don’t need to go by an office. The condo was neat and clean. There are lots to do from the lazy river, the really nice workout room, lots of pools, the beach, and you can walk to the pier where there are restaurants and shops!
- Nashville Steve

We are glad you hear you enjoyed your stay. The amenities of the workout room, lazy river and pool do add to a great vacation. We hope to have you stay with us again next year.

For what we payed could have gotten much better all the way around. Was emailed many times about check in to check in Late. Payed for the day yet delay to check in, rushed to check out day before check out due to electrical work, TV had no signal. Very sadly to say check around elsewhere.

Beautiful Condo
5/5 stars
We stayed in this condo for our honeymoon and it was perfect. The check in process was easy. It was in a quiet location with a view of the beach and the pool. It was VERY clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The unit was well decorated and comfortable. The gym and hot tub were also very nice. We would highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a getaway.

Honeymoon
5/5 stars
We had the pleasure of staying in this condo for our honeymoon. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for the week as far as the kitchen. I read a couple of reviews before we booked this condo that the views are better in person and I was pleased to find out that this was true. The only thing we would suggest is more comfortable pillows and extra blankets/pillows for those who travel by plane and have to limit what they pack. In the e-mail about check-in it states there will be one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. We bought extra in case and there ended up being two in each bathroom. This was nice to have more than stated but then we had already bought toilet paper that we couldn't take home on the plane with us. Nothing to make or break the trip by any means but maybe the check-in list could be updated. We would love to stay in this condo again! Thank you for providing a great place to stay on our honeymoon!
- Libby

Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you for your great review and for your suggestions. We appreciate it and we will be sure to update that check list.

Destin West Gulfside 609
4/5 stars
The condo has a great view, all the necessities for a week at the beach, and the resort has lots to do, especially for children. The walkway made it nice to cross the road for dinner, ice cream, etc. The beach was crowded but manageable, and an easy walk. We also walked to dinner many nights, which was really nice. The only downfall of this condo is that the beds were not comfortable at all, and there was no door to the bunk room (made it hard for a napping toddler). There were also parental controls set on the tv and we did receive an email response from the property manager, but no further relay of info (codes or follow up). Otherwise it was a great week.
- Lynn
Excellent Condo in an Excellent Location
5/5 stars
This unit was in amazing shape and in a wonderful location. We had zero problems during our 4 night stay and everything was exactly as it is pictured on the website. During a rainy day we were able to walk across the street on the covered sky bridge and let our young son play in the arcade attached to Fudpuckers. The pools, hot tubs, and beach access were also enjoyable and easy to get to. We can't wait to come back to this amazing vacation spot again!
