Spring break

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. We have rented at Destin West several times before but not this particular unit and we were not disappointed. We bring our grandchildren here every spring break and we just love this complex. The heated pools and hot tubs are great and the kids always like to fish from the dock.

We loved the layout of the condo and how comfortable we felt. The deck was great and the the walk way to the beach. The weather was horrible during our stay and the property lost power for a couple hours. We had to use the stairs due to the power outage and some of the emergency lights were not working which made it dangerous and a little scary. The property felt safe, and kept up with. We had an overall good trip minus the weather. We all slept like babies.

Family vacation

Our stay was probably the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. Everyone had a wonderful time, from our 3 & 5 yr old grandchildren to me and my wife. Everything was as advertised on the web site. We had an issue with the light in the kitchen and it was resolved immediately. Very friendly and professional staff. We will be returning!

Nice amenities, challenging use

Heron 305 is a cute property with ample space for your family to enjoy their relaxing vacation. We were able to get into our room a few hours early so that was very helpful. Upon entering the condo, we were pleased with the view of the lazy river. The floors were still wet and our socks were instantly black, along with soap buildup on the shower ledge from the previous party. We were able to clean it up ourselves without issue. Early in our stay, we realized the garbage disposal did not work. We contacted the property manager and maintenance was supposed to come but didn't. We asked again and they did come on our last day but what chaos in the kitchen! During the day, we greatly enjoyed our time at the beach and the pool across the road. Our experience was that it was far less crowded and great for the kids to have space to swim. The lazy river lights up at night, making it an added fun experience. The location is great. You can easily hop in your car to go to Destin or walk to the Boardwalk for restaurant options. If you are planning to stay here, I would bring some of your own kitchen items. We aren't great cooks but still found the items in the kitchen lacking. If we were to come again, we would definitely bring a skillet or two, scissors, and plastic cups/plates for kids. As a side note, I contacted the property manager about toys and beach chairs before bringing our own and was told there were not any BUT there are chairs! I hope this is helpful!

Fabulous Condo!

This is a fabulous condominium and we really enjoyed our stay. Very spacious and comfortable. Heated swimming pools, “Lazy River” and pedestrian bridge over the highway to get to the beach made things very convenient to use. If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely see if this condo is available. Don and Becky

Family Funtastic

Everything was top notch. We had an awesome time. The condo is beautiful. Your view of the lazy river is now blocked by the growth of the palm trees, but the view of the bay is beautiful. We saw dolphins more than once during our stay. If there are any slight disappointments was the cleanliness of the floor (needs a very through cleaning) and dust above the kitchen sink. The mattresses in the full size/twin size room were uncomfortable and could use an upgrade. Especially if you are staying more than a weekend. Very minor issues and we would certainly book again!!

BEST PLACE WE HAVE EVER STAYED❤️

Very luxurious and homey! You don’t have to even leave the premises, everything you need and more is right there. Lots and lots of space! Beds were beyond comfortable, 2 nice bathrooms, extremely nice master bath!! Very large sectional that 2 people can easily sleep on. Kitchen has everything you could need!! I accidentally broke the blender while doing dishes so I reached out to the owners and asked her if I should Venmo her or just replace it, she said no to worry about it. I felt awful about breaking it. The next morning, I heard a knock at the door and there she (the owner) was with a brand new blender for us! I honestly thought she would wait until after we left and re-stock it for the next tenant, I was very impressed by that! The balcony is beautiful! The pools and lazy river we’re amazing. We chose the pool on the left right by the water. I can’t recommend this condo enough. I can’t wait to go back and stay in this exact spot, and we have never liked any place enough to go back. Perfect for our large family! What are you waiting for? The best vacation spot ever 🏖👙 ☀️ 🌊

Great Place to Stay!

Beautiful property! Would definitely stay there again. Only recommendation is to update check in times. The listing on VRBO says 3pm check-in and 11am check out , but once we got there we were told it’s 4pm checkin and 10am check in. This caused some confusion with check in process.
