"Nice condo, good floorplan for a family with two kids. Great pool!! We booked it primarily for the pool and the bunk room with its own bathroom. The master bed is a king and was comfortable to us. The employees at Destin West were friendly. The place was clean. The walk to the beach took about 10 minutes across the sky bridge. Could use some basic upgrades like a working hairdryer, better internet (was slow for us) new throw pillows on the sofa, towel rod fell off when we hung up a towel, but we fixed it. Some k-cups and beach toys/ chairs would be a nice touch. It was a good place, but no extras to make it feel welcoming. Adding those things would make it 5 stars."

"This was hands down the best Air B&B we’ve ever had! Everything was extremely clean inside and outside around the resort. The lazy river is amazing and this is the perfect view of it. This is bayside (we actually preferred that), to reach the beach you just walk over a bridge and you’re there! It’s super convenient, maybe a 5 minute walk tops. We’re already planning our second trip back and would love to stay in the same room next year!!
CONS: We had difficulty finding the actual room. Instructions said it’s on the 2nd floor, it is actually on the 3rd floor!!!! We walked all over the floors trying to find it. We also had an issue with the WiFi connecting, so we contacted them and they replied within 5 minutes and helped us out! Also the website would not allow me to check out!
Overall our vacation was 10/10 and the room was absolutely perfect!!"

"Relaxed Atmosphere - Nice place and perfect location between the ocean. We came down to relax and fish and it did not disappoint. After going offshore we did some fishing on the resorts backwater which was fun. Lazy river and pool was great just wish the pool was open to swimming earlier in the morning. Check in process was ok. Found location but had a bit of trouble finding our unit and room and key code was way too long to remwber to get into the unit. Overall it was very nice place and we will be back for sure again"

"Super Cute Condo! Fit 6 (2 adults, 4 kids perfectly) - This condo has everything, place for 6 to sleep, 2 bathrooms, and washer and dryer. We were able to cook quick meals and the beach and lazy river were clean. We also booked a pontoon boat with double slides right next door and was able to travel that day to CRAB ISLAND, which was a little piece of paradise with crystal clear water."

"This was a very nice place. I want to leave an honest review. First of all, this unit is not on the beach. It is across the beach, but before move on, there is a very easy walk to the beach and other swimming pools and lounging areas via their own private crosswalk. There are actually to sets of condos. This one is “Bay” side and the other is “Beach” side. It really only takes about 5 mins to walk to the beach and they have their own section of beach as well. It is conveniently located to some great restaurants like the Crab Trap, Al’s Burger Bar, and Rockin Tacos. It is only about 4 miles from Destin Harbor Village/Walk where there is tons of entertainment and more restaurants (mainly seafood). As far as the unit goes, it was excellent for 6 people. Perfect kitchen and excellent views of the lazy river and swimming areas. The pools are exclusive to guests only which is nice. The bay side offers other amenities as well. The property is convenient to just about everything. We enjoyed it"

Everything was perfect honestly I’m so sad we’re leaving Destin. We looked at a few condos before this I would say this is the best one. Now hurry up and book before I book again 😂"

Balcony overlooked the beautiful pool area, which happens to light up purple at night. Furniture was clean and up to date. Host was very responsive to questions.

Walking distance to the beach, resort style pool with lazy river, great for kids. Close to the pier, shopping and restaurants. Would definitely recommend."
