Great location with a great view! This is a nice looking, spacious condo, and is better priced than some of the other units nearby. It came with a nice big kitchen to cook in, and plenty of pots/pans. We really can't complain, except the floor was really dirty and some things had minor damage from previous guests.

it appeared that the property was under some remodeling maybe? Had been painted no pictures on walls ect. You really need a few rugs if you are not going to have carpet anywhere just info. The balcony needs a good cleaning door very hard to open. Beds were comfortable and water pressure was good. Need a new frig falling apart, all in all I would stay here again

Location! Location!

The location and view from the balcony is always my favorite! The room smelled a bit musty when we arrived but went away with the fans moving and door opening and closing. Had plenty of dishes for cooking!

Nice property

Nice property. Great location. They should heat the lazy river a little in October because it was ice cold and you couldn’t really relax and enjoy it.

Great place for kids.

Pools are amazing. Management was right on top of anything we asked for. Great places to eat close by. Security people were very welcoming and informative. The actual condo could have used an update. But the place and management were awesome

This unit was well maintained. Perfect for my family.

We’ve stayed in other units at Destin Beach and Bay Resorts. This is one of the nicest, by far. Will remember this unit and try to get it again next year.

Annual Baseball/Vacation Trip

This is our second year staying at Destin West Resort, first year at this unit. We absolutely loved this unit. Very clean and updated. Loved waking up to the view of the ocean and having the availability to all the amities of both gulf and bay side. We will absolutely be staying again next year! This is our home away from home! The property manager, Amanda, was AMAZING to work with.

A large beachfront condo

The unit is exactly as pictured. It is spotless, clean, the view from the deck is amazing. Pools were very large and not crowded. The Okaloosa Island Pier and the aquarium are right next-door. It really is the perfect unit. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

Check in was easy with the access code for the door. Hotel room was fairly clean but definitely needs updated. Some of the lights were burnt out like in the master bathroom shower. A lot of the outlets did not work and if they did they were super loose and the plug would fall out. The washer sounds terrible when running and dryer did not dry towels very well (had to run them like 3 times even with small load) balcony floor was very rusty/dirty and the table was broke. Master bathroom had a faint sewer smell all week. Master bed was not the most comfy either The hotel itself was awesome. The pool was amazing and the location was great. Overall satisfied but a few updates would go a long way. Was just expecting a little nicer the price I paid

Nothing too fancy. Just right for our family

Nothing fancy. Clean. The WiFi is not the best but not why we came on vacation. Just an fyi for those needing to do work or school. The property if great for families. We loved walking over to the bay side and hanging out at the pool and lazy river there. It was much busier with lots of families. Check in is super simple. Condo was spacious enough. Two bedroom and a separate room with bunk beds. Parking was nice bc you park on the level of your room so your vehicle is always close.

Great condo

Perfect location in the building to not have the sun directly on the balcony doors ever but a great view of the sunset and beach. Very limited amount of pots and pans. Only 1 big skillet. I was disappointed in the rental company. First time I have had one want to charge me $75 to get there 30 minutes early. That’s a bit much for something that cost over $3000 for 4 nights.

Host was nice but would not stay again

Condo was dated and dirty. We had to sweep the floor when we got there because of all the dirt. It stunk of cleaning supplies yet didn’t seem clean at all. The bedroom to the right when you walk in was dirty as well. The mattress looked like it had a urine stain on it. Not of fan of all the decor, felt dirty and cluttered. Would not return.

Spring Break 2023

Nice property, great area away from crowd. Beds not too bad uncomfortable. Plenty of towels, which is unusual for a condo, in my experience. We didn't have to wash any. One complaint is that the WiFi connection was awful! My daughter was on Spring Break but still had an exam & other work to do. Easy check out, not much to do & cleaning fee was less than most places. But the cleaning service did arrive before the 10am check out time, which made us feel rushed. But would stay here again.

July 2018 Stay

My family really enjoyed staying at Destin West, UNIT 512. Access to so many pools and hot tubs was awesome as well as the view and access to the beach. The umbrella/chair rental company unfortunately took up all the prime spots of the shoreline. This monopoly was very disappointing along with all the signs telling us where we could not sit, walk. We agree with the recommendations for improvements listed in the June 2018 comments and would add, ...fix the door to balcony as it is very hard to open/close. Also, several loose electrical outlets that don't work well. Although we never cooked, I appreciated the well stocked kitchen, many dishes and cookware. Linens were clean, good quality and comfortable. We loved having our own sleeping areas; daughter had the bunkbed area, son had front bedroom and parents in the master room. It was great to be able to have two bathrooms and washer/dryer to wash clothes. Would recommend this condo and hope to book it again for another vacation. Thank you!

Had an amazing time. Great view. Only bad thing I would say would be that all the elevators were not working so it took FOREVER to get one.
