Great place, Great views, can't wait to go back!!!

We have stayed at other places before and the photos when booking look great, until you walk through the door! Not this place tho…what a wonderful surprise to find the place clean, smelled clean and the views we had were the absolute BEST!!! The text messages leading up to arrival, at arrival, throughout the stay and departure day truly made us feel welcomed and important!!! The grounds, pool area and beach were always cleaned! The staff we met were always very friendly! The complementary beach lounge chairs were a bonus too! We would LOVE to come back here someday! THANK YOU FOR EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS!!

My husband and I grew up on Okaloosa Island and love coming back and staying at Destin West. This unit is perfect- ocean/beach front views, great wrap around balcony to see the pool/hot-tub, and an easy walk over the sky bridge to the other resort style amenities. Also walking distance to night life and restaurants at The Boardwalk, along with the beachside bar next door at The Island Resort. The management group was very responsive and provided clear directions and extra information about the area. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

Coastal Vibe Vacations is such a nice, easy group to work with. We stayed our first time in Gulfside 402 in November of 2023. We had such a great time that we wanted to stay in the exact same unit this last time we were there. We love how close it is to the pier and shopping area. We love that there are sand toys and floats provided for the kids to use. We have already been talking about when we can go back. (Trying to win the powerball, LOL)

We loved our stay. The condo was very clean and had a fabulous view. It was peaceful to sit out on the patio every morning and even saw dolphins swimming. The amenities were perfect and the condo had all that we need for a memorable vacation. We would definitely stay here again. There were lots of beach toys available to use and we had fun playing Uno most evenings on the patio while hearing the live music close by. Thanks for helping us have an awesome vacation.
