Wonderful! Looking forward to booking again next summer!
We come to Destin West every summer and we are so happy we found this condo! The kitchen was great and all of the bedrooms were very spacious! Patio had an enormous table (seating for 8!!) and there were an ABUNDANCE of beach chair and toys. Owners were very responsive and kind. Can’t wait to come back!!
Our property was great but unfortunately the weather did no cooperate and it rained all week. Beautiful condo, excellent resort, Shawn the owner was great, weather that week...uhh!
Great place to stay. Kids had a great time in Lazy River and the beach was right across the walkway over the street. It was the little things that made the difference. Had trash bags, toilet paper, and dish detergent so we didn’t have to go buy full size of all this stuff and pack it home. That was awesome! Thanks again! Definitely recommend
This was our 6th time staying at Destin West Beach & Bay. This was by far the nicest property we’ve rented. Everything was clean and updated. It was a cozy and perfect long weekend getaway with our family. The weather was a little chilly but, our youngest (9) still enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. Our son (20) got in some fishing time and caught 3 trout off the marina dock with the fishing equipment stocked in the closet! We look forward to staying again in this beautiful property as Destin West is always on our shortlist for vacations and last minute getaways!
We loved our stay in this condo! Fort Walton Beach wasn't very crowded during out stay, and the pools at the condo are wonderful! Our girls loved going down to the pools every chance they got! We loved sitting out on the balcony! We hope we get to stay here again in the future!
The USSSA softball tournament brought us to Fort Walton and Destin West Resort. The lazy river was so relaxing and a lot of fun with the kids. The resort is located in a great location. It is close enough to several fun restaurants that you can walk and just down the street to the grocery store. This was very convenient especially because the traffic was awful the week we started. Overall great trip!
We booked and end of year trip for our teens. This condo and resort was the perfect spot! The condo was so clean. It’s so hard not to find sand everywhere in beach condos but none here but on all the beach supplies left for guest to enjoy.
All the extras were a pleasant surprise. Even though we didn’t get to use this trip it was great to even see fishing pools and a tackle box, carts to go to beach and all types of beach toys.
The beds were so comfy and the condo was surprisingly quiet. The lazy river and small pool were perfect. Nothing was crowded and we even had the pool to ourselves multiple times.
The couch wasn’t my favorite, but the kids loved it and found it a good spot to fall asleep when watching scary moves late at night.
We will be looking to book again with Salty Vibes!
Had the best time with family. The condo had EVERYTHING we needed and more. With toddlers we appreciated the beach toys, beach chairs, tons of towels, new boars games. There was a pack n play, rounded coffee table (great for our new walker), plates and utensils for the kids along with wine opener and glassware for the adults. The condo was immaculate and ample space for the two couples and children. We definitely will be coming down again and rebooking here ! Shawn answered all of our questions instantly and communicated everything so our trip was perfect!

About the host
Hosted by Shawn Tidwell/Linda Tidwell
It has been a lifelong dream of mine to own a place at the beach. In 2020 and 2021 my wife Linda and I were able to purchase two dream homes. We plan to enjoy these amazing properties as much as possible. When we are not using them, we want you and your family to be able to enjoy this wonderful area. We don't want to be just the normal short term rental company, we want to provide a first class experience for our guests in every way!
Why they chose this property
The view, spaciousness and amenities. While most people focus on the gulfside, which has such great access to the beach, we love the bay side just as much. With the lazy river I personally could float around in all day, the hot tubs and pools. What really drew us to this particular unit, was the view. You can lay in the master bedroom and look out over the bay, dock and pools. We also loved the size of the unit, with 3 bedrooms and a full size laundry room.
