"Loved Destin West. Multiple pools and a large property. The balcony was very large which we loved. Very partial view of the ocean. View of the pool and palm trees is great. Condo was very clean and felt roomy for the 3 of us. Probably only complaint is lack of storage. Bunk room didn’t have a closet or dresser just a small table we utilized. Def would book this place again."

"Great Week - The unit doesn't come with any hidden extras (chairs, towels) so be prepared for that. But, it's clean, great location at the resort, and the resort is kept quiet and clean. Easy in and out."

"We really enjoyed this space. The view of the gulf from the balcony was great. The beach was close to this unit. Despite it being a vacation spot it was quiet."

"Great condo, great location. The balcony overlooked the main pool which was incredibly convenient with our 2 boys. They had a little freedom, yet we could easily look in on them from time to time. Our host was very friendly & quick to respond to any needs &/or requests. When we arrived, I noticed there wasn't a vacuum or broom, only a mop & bucket & with 2 boys, I knew the sand would quickly become an issue. I contacted our host & within 2 hours a broom was delivered to our door. I highly recommend booking with RealJoy. We had a wonderful trip & will definitely book with them again!!"

"Wonderful trip to Fort Walton Beach - We just returned from a great trip. This was the perfect place to stay for our family of 4. Checkin was very easy and seamless. The lazy river is across the street but easily accessed via the walking bridge. Only one flight of stairs and steps to the beach. Several restaurants within walking distance. Also check out was very smooth and required minimal effort in our part - only requested to take out the trash and run the dishwasher."

"Destin ~ 2nd time was better than 1st - This unit was fabulous! We stayed last year in a different unit same property and hands down we enjoyed this one better. All Appliances worked great! Access to beach and pool was perfect, Fresh paint and fully stocked kitchen was perfect. Beds super comfy and so was furniture. Cons, bedding was too small for master bed so kept pulling off at night, sandy floors .......... (I may have to pack my dyson for our next trip to give it a quick clean up after the beach) and the back slider was impossible to close. Weather proofing on front door bottom needs to be replaced as well. These are small nitpicky items compared to the overall state of this unit."

"Wonderful time - Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay. We liked the location, being right on the beach. We also liked the lazy river across the street. And the boardwalk was a short walk away. 
The unit we were in may need some minor maintenance. The sliding door to the balcony looked to be off the track. The microwave over the stove was not operational, however, there was a second microwave on the counter. "

"Wonderful stay and close to everything - We were very pleased with our stay. We had 3 adults and 2 children. There was room for the pack n’ play in the master bedroom. The bed was extremely comfortable and large. Both bathrooms are great size. The master bedroom has a bathtub/shower. The second room with the bunk beds has a smaller bathroom with a shower. The bunk beds are comfy and spacious enough for an adult to fit. My husband is 6ft and fit. The living room has a pull out couch (queen size) which was reasonably comfortable. The kitchen has all utensils and dishwasher. We made pizza in the oven one night and were delighted to see a pizza cutter was in the drawer. Plus a pan. The room has a washer and dryer which was awesome! The balcony overlooks the pool on the second floor and you can see some of the gulf! Beautiful view! The only con which I can say is understandable given you’re coming from the beach is the floors were filthy. Our feet were black from the floor. They could use a really good clean. The sliding door needs to be fixed. Very hard to open and close but we managed. Those cons wouldn’t keep me from coming again, i definitely would stay here again. It would be nice to see those be corrected. We enjoyed the pools so much! The condo was in walking distance to the island next door which has amazing breakfast buffet. Then the resort next to them has lots of restaurants. Walking distance to beach bars, gift shops and more. You can bring your own pool floats with to use in the pool."

"We stayed here with our 5 and 9 year olds. We were provided a code to enter the place on the day of the arrival and the room was clean and ready at 4 pm. The patio overlooks the ocean and the pool as pictured. Although our stay was over spring break, it was fairly quiet. The kids slept well in the bunk beds.
The grotto pool was a little further of a walk as the most convenient gate was locked with a bike lock the whole time. For meals and entertainment, the boardwalk is a quick 10 minute walk either through the resort or along the beach. The boardwalk has several great restaurants and shops.
Tips: Bring beach towels and a blow dryer"

"Beautiful Condo - We really enjoyed our stay here. We have stayed at Destin West Beach and Bay Resort twice before. This condo was the cleanest and most well maintained of our stays. It is convenient to the large pool and the boardwalk. The bed was very comfortable and my husband loved the recliner. We would definitely stay here again!"

"Upfront and Relaxing - Absolutely loved the condo! Well-stocked and clean with a beautiful view. The easy access to parking, beach, pool, and the other resort features was fantastic. The pools were beautiful and spacious and my kids loved the (multiple) heated pool options. And fun fact - Papa Johns will deliver straight to your condo door!
We went out to the beach around 8/9am and 4/5pm and the crowding was very minimal at those times. At some times, we were actually close to being alone. We plan to come back soon!"
