Perfect Getaway

My wife and I stay in the condo to be close to my son playing volleyball at the boardwalk next store. The condo allowed for great views of the beach and the local area. We were provided with more than enough beach towels and all the basics were provided. We will visit again next time we come :).

Great rental in beautiful, convenient location

Wonderful week long stay in unit 605. It was a convenient Uber from Destin airport and everything we needed was already in the unit or a short walk away. We had groceries delivered and there were several good restaurants within walking distance along the beach. (Stewbys off the beach is delicious). The unit was excellent. Clean and with much nicer towels and furnishings than most vacation rentals. The balcony has a view over one of the pools as well as a beautiful view of the gulf and beach. The kitchen has good knives and enough cookware for us to prepare several of our meals there. Check-in was super easy (key code entry) and when I texted the local staff at checkout I received a prompt and friendly response. The Destin West property has multiple pool options (3 different temp levels) plus our kids loved the lazy river. Overall a great rental. The ease of this location and rental made us think we will try to return in the future.

Great condo

We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was exactly as described. It was also clean and comfortable. Everything was in good working condition. It was our favorite place we’ve stayed in Fort Walton so far. The resort was also well kept. The heated pool just downstairs from the condo was one of our favorite spots after visiting the beach. Getting chairs on the beach was very easy also.

Perfect Beach location

We were very excited about our unit right on the beach. We drove down 14 hours from Illinois. Along the way, my husband became very ill. We arrived a couple of hours early and I went to the local Publix to get meds and Sprite. We waited in parking garage until 4. As we were unloading our vehicle, one of the cleaners approached us and told us that the unit was not ready. I told her it was crucial we get in the unit as my husband was very ill. She told me the beds weren't made and the floors not cleaned. I told her my husband needed to get into the air conditioning and lay down. We were allowed to come in, where my husband laid on the couch and they cleaned around him. Once they finished in the bedroom, my husband moved into there. I do realize it had been a busy holiday weekend and we had unusual circumstances that we needed in the unit right at 4. We really enjoyed the location of the unit, we watched the sun come up every morning and enjoyed breakfast out on the balcony. We loved the fact that 2 beach chairs and umbrella was included, which we utilized daily. The pool right on the property was superb on the hot sunny afternoons. We are considering coming back for the New Years and highly recommend this unit.

Great Spot

This is a great condo in an excellent location. Beach and property were pristine with plenty of pools on the property and nearby restaurants/shops to keep my family (with an 11 and 13 yr old) busy and entertained. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Beach Time Vacations LLC

This condo (#605) was purchased November 2016. I own three condos in the Destin West Gulfside Resort. My other units are #603 and #411. I did a full renovation of the condo after purchasing. I have transformed this condo into an extremely nice beach vacation rental. I encourage you to rent with me and welcome you into my condo. I find the location to be superb and the view is spectacular.

Why they chose this property

The Destin West Beach and Bay Resort is a premiere choice. Being on Okaloosa Island, it is a much better location than the nearby Destin area. You get access to the same beach and amenities of the surrounding area, but without the huge crowds on the streets and on the beach. This location puts you between the cities of Destin and Ft Walton Beach. You have access to all the same activities, restaurants, and beaches. I find the location to be superb and the view is spectacular from this condo.
