Our family with 3 kids loved our time here. The balcony was great to wake up to each morning and see the palm trees, resort, and the bay. The place was clean, had everything we needed and the location is wonderful. We loved being close to the bay and that you could walk over the skyway bridge to the gulf with access to parking garages on both sides. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful experience staying at this condo. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the living space was cozy and inviting.The location is fantastic. Close to pools, lazy river and beach! Overall, I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay. Would definitely stay here again!
Great location! Location was 10 minute walk to beach and pool, hot tub, and lazy River was just steps from condo! I would definitely recommended this location for a young family!
It’s 3-rd time we stay in Destin west.it was great.

perfect vacation
We loved the condo itself and the amenities. Perfect get away for a family with young children. I loved that resort was on both sides, ocean and bay, and had a sky bridge to safely cross the (extremely busy) highway. Unit was well equipped and tastefully decorated, owners were great.

Thanks Louise for those kind words. Please come back and stay with us again. Peg
We absolutely loved our stay! We are a family of 5 people and there was more than enough room. This condo offered great furniture and nice bedding for a rental. Everything was clean and worked as it should. The lazy river was awesome for the relaxing! It’s 3 ft all the way around. The sky walk was wonderful to use to get to the private beach area. You can rent the cute blue umbrellas and chairs for easy convenience. We give it 5-stars all the way around!!
Beautiful, pristine unit perfect for a family of four!
Super spacious and beautifully decorated unit worked perfectly for us and our 2 teen/preteen sons. King master BR had a super comfy bed. Lovely view of the bay. The property is well-kept and the lazy river is great. Walk over a building and up a few floors to cross over to the beach. We moved this unit, and it had everything we needed.

What an honor to have you and Jan back. It's such a pleasure and honor to share Sandpiper 501 with you again. See you soon for your next visit later this year. Peg and Glenn
My husband, 2.5 year old son and I stayed in the condo and both sets of our parents stayed in the RV park. We had a great time. Pretty easy access to the beach and lots of pools to choose from. The condo was clean and very comfortable. We did a Walmart grocery pick up, which is incredibly convenient. Make sure to read the list of what to bring. We would definitely stay here again. Great communication.

WONDERFUL CONDO!
We've rented a fair amount of condos, and this one was the BEST EVER! Neat, clean, well furnished and everything thing we needed. The overall location is so well maintained! During our stay the cable TV was updated. It was nice to have a 'guide' on the remotes. Honestly, have no negative things to say! It's on our "visit again" list.
Thanks again for making our time in at Destin West a wonderful memory!

We stayed for three days while visiting our niece who is stationed at Hurlburt Air Field. We had a great time relaxing on the patio and hanging by the pools/lazy river. The place was spotless, very clean and nicely decorated. Check-in was a breeze. We wore our pool bands when down at the pool, but no one ever asked to see them. Beds were comfortable and we watched the sun rise from the balcony in the master bedroom and set from the patio off the living room. Very relaxing. Just a helpful hint, they do not provide toilet paper or salt/pepper (which are some of the things you normally don't think you need to bring) so be sure to bring your own.
Destin West #501 Great condo in a well maintained complex with great water features
Glenn and Peggy provided excellent instructions so there was no need to contact them during our stay. We knew exactly what we needed to bring. The condo was immaculate, the master bed so comfortable, and the furniture is great quality. It felt like home. Many other rental properties I've stayed are uncomfortable with a mish mash of cheap furniture. That is not the case here. The furniture is thought out down to table lamps and mirror where you need it. This was a part work & part vacation trip for me and the internet was also high speed. If in the area again, I would most definitely choose a Glenn & Peggy property.

Finished our 9th week long visit to our "Home away from home"
After 9 week long visits, why do you think we already have a 10th week long visit booked for May 2017?
This condo and the owners are superior to most anything you'll find in the area.
In the past I have written long winded reviews and mentioned such things as how well Peg and Glenn treat their renters, how well they keep the unit updated etc.
I found the new "LOG" (Note pad) in the unit when we got there this time and was the first one to use it - I am really looking forward to going back in May and seeing what other's have written . Hopefully there will be many comments for all to share.
Once again, thanks Peg and Glenn for sharing this unit and as usual - looking forward to our next visit.

About the host
Hosted by Peggy & Glenn Roy - Owners
I'm Peggy and I love the Gulf Coast and this wonderful CORNER-5th floor condo. Staying in a 5th floor corner condo makes a BIG DIFFERENCE with all the outside windows and bedroom terrace. We have a passion to pay first-hand, special attention to this property, unlike some mega rental company. We make sure this condo is at it's best for your enjoyment. I know you will love this beautiful unit as you sit on the living room balcony viewing the Lazy River, Water-Fall and Zero-Entry Pools, Hot Tubs and Bay, or enjoy the best of views of the sand dunes and Gulf from your private bedroom terrace.
Why they chose this property
My family and I really wanted to own a place that offered something special from the ordinary. After a long time of searching it was clear that Destin West offered amenities and features not found anywhere in the Northern Gulf Coast area. When a Sanpiper 501 came available, it was crystal clear that this was what we were looking for. No Better views exist of the Bay and the Gulf. We have gone over board to make sure the condo is sparkling clean and well appointed. Come let us show you how pleased you will be to select Sandpiper 501 as you destination choice.
