The property and condo was great. Easy access to restaurants. I had 3 elderly parents and my husband. The handicapped parking was nice. There are carts available to help load and unload your vehicles. Everyone we encountered was courteous, staff and other tenants.I would absolutely stay at this facility again.

Always a great vacation spot. Kids like the closeness of the bay and hopping in to find crabs. Lazy River is very relaxing and where we spent most of our time. The condo was clean and comfortable!

We had a great time. We’d stay in this resort again. They were very attentive to our needs. The only thing that would be nice was to have beach supplies available as we traveled from AZ and couldn’t pack all the things.

The condo was fantastic! Destin West was amazing as usual! We won't stay anywhere else! The only suggestion I have is to have the Master bedroom airflow checked as it did not cool down like the rest of the house!

Destin West is our Jam

Destin West is an excellent facility. It was great as always. We've vacationed here roughly 10 times in the last 15 years and have never had a bad stay. This unit was in good shape. The handle on the master shower was a little dodgy, but we figured it out. One more Roku on the TVs would have been helpful, but overall, this is an excellent unit. Your balcony gets sun in the morning and is shaded in the very hot afternoon. Being just a bit higher than the palm trees gives you an exellent view of the bay and the pool. You even have a slight view of the Gulf.

Excellent space for large families!

The property was very nice, clean, and accommodating for our large family! The only downside was that the splash pad is no longer operating. However, my children enjoyed the pools and lazy river! We also loved the convenience of the sky walk to the beach! We will definitely book again!

Great vacation spot

We had a great stay. The unit was nice and clean. The condo amenities were great. The element on the stove blew up while we were cooking on our first night. Someone was out the next morning to look at it. They weren’t able to get a new stove in during our stay but brought us a large countertop oven a couple days later that we could cook in. There’s more beds than what I saw on the listing which was great. There’s a twin trundle bed under the bunk bed and a pullout bed in the couch. We would stay here again.

family visit

Very attractive unit. Very quiet. we were very comfortable, however, there were very few places to hang wet towels and swimming suits. The jets in the master bathroom did not work and we were not able to connect to the wi-fi. I called the telephone number on the refrigerator for "questions" but it only seemed to be for emergencies.
