Spring Break
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo has to be one of the best units in the complex for a small family. It had a fantastic view of the Gulf. The living area felt bigger than the pictures portrayed. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean on arrival. We enjoyed the short walk down the beach to numerous restaurants and shops. Oasis has really good coffee that I wish I found earlier in the stay. We would certainly stay here again.

Stay was good. Condo & furnishings definitely need updating!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had no unpleasant surprises or events during our stay. The view fromOur 5th floor balcony was great (Unit G503) the condo was clean, but there were dirty dishes in the cabinets. The unit is pretty outdated with the living room furniture (couch & 2 chairs) being badly broken down. Very uncomfortable. The master bed was pretty much in the same condition. The mattress seemed to sink in the middle and had absolutely no support. We would definitely choose another unit next time.

location
The condo was centrally located which is what we wanted. The pools were amazing, but the beds were uncomfortable. And there is a lot of walking...from parking garage to the unit, back to elevators then back the opposite direction to go to the beach. Just use the carts, have comfortable shoes.

Condo Review
Really liked the location but didn’t realize each night there would be a loud wedding reception next door :) Unit overall was in good condition as shown in the photos on Vrbo. Pros: Location Easy check in Lower price compared to comps Cons: Dated overall, kitchen faucet was missing a part but still worked. The railing on the deck outside seemed to be loose at the corners as well. Overall would look for a quieter location next time during a weekend stay but that isn’t the unit owners fault due to the weddings next door..

Clean condo Great views
This condo was exactly as described. The view of the ocean from the balcony was awesome. We could see dolphins swimming a couple of mornings from the balcony. This condo will comfortably sleep 2 adults and 2 children. Our bed was comfortable and our 12 year old son slept great in the bunk beds. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Family Trip!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and really enjoyed the proximity to the beach...and especially the heated pool as it was pretty chilly the week we were there. My kids had a blast! The only negative I would say is that our condo did not have things like mixing bowls, cutting boards, serving dishes--which made meal time very difficult. The unit was also dated, but it was clean. But otherwise, we were happy.

Very Nice
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was really happy with my stay at Destin West Gulfside G503. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The bunk bedroom was quite small, and as noted in the description, best suited for kids. You could sleep 6 people there, but that wouldn't be a comfortable situation. Cleanliness was good, the kitchen had virtually everything you might need, and the view of the gulf was very nice. The parking garage is nice and not far from the condo. It's an easy walk to the Boardwalk which has several restaurants and a couple shops. Traffic on highway 98 is pretty crazy, so while I was hoping to do some biking directly from the condo, I decided that wasn't a safe option. Walking into FWB is not a problem; there are sidewalks that go all the way into the city. The property seems to be very well maintained.
