Beautiful and spacious condo with a bay view

Rental process was incredibly easy. Space was even more gorgeous in person. We've stayed at Destin West previously and really enjoy the resort and amenities. This was our favorite condo to-date. We loved every moment and hope to return.

Great condo and location

We do an annual family trip each year and this one was the best. We had a party of 9 and this condo had plenty of space where everyone was not crowded. It was fully stocked. The location was wonderful and enjoyed not having to wait for elevators. My family wants to book this condo again for next year.
