Great Stay

We had a great stay at the Heron! The condo was just as described, and everything was great! There was so much to do on site such as multiple pools, a lazy river, a dock to walk out on to watch dolphins, and the ocean a short walk away. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved Heron 309 for the location to the stairs and elevator along with the view of the pool! There was plenty of space for us to all be in there together and to cook together.

The only thing I would suggest is a stool, it was quite comical getting in. Everything is close, you don’t have leave, but if you do, everything is right there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about our condo was great. We had an overall fabulous experience,this is the 2nd time staying at Destin west and I will continue too. The only issue I had was the condo needs to be fumigated. We did find a few spiders and spider webs, one roach and lots of ants. I was nervous because I have a child that is severely allergic to ants, she has anaphalaxis attacks if stung.

Wonderful ❤️

I love the read reviews to help me make my decision. This was such wonderful stay!!! The condo was extremely clean, quiet, comfy, and convenient. Easy parking. Informative management. Pictures are exactly what you get. The pool was GREAT for kids. We had ages 1,2,4,6 and adults. The the BEDS were amazing after a long day playing. First night we all woke up talking about how nice they were. We weren’t upset that we didn’t stay beach side because the pool was so nice for the kids with shade and lots of pool options. Love the beach entry pool for the little kids. We left shoes came back the next day and surprisingly they were still at pool at lost and found. We left our wagons out front with things in them for the beach every day and no one ever touched it. Wagons and chairs arent the best but I’m sure they are all hard to pull in the sand and not everyone takes care of things. Not the condos fault. We rented chairs one day. I recommend. Lots of beach toy options don’t haul those things from home. It says Tom Thumb next door but no that is a gas station. But there is a great clean little grocery store (Publix) down the road. They also have a few pool/beach things very reasonably priced. Emerald Bay is just down the road. Great things for kids during the day/ evening but wouldn’t take them real late. I would come back and stay again with my family!

Nice Condo

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: Preface: mgmt co. did a good job taking care of us--we appreciate their efforts. The extenuating issues with the entire complex are not a reflection of this condo or owner: 1)Alarm system for the entire bldg. malfunctioned one afternoon thru part of night causing it to go off MULTIPLE TIMES (at least 5x), and each time the fire dept. had to respond to turn it off. 2)Lazy river filter quit working and was down for 2-1/2 days--not good when that is one of the top reasons why you selected to stay somewhere. Again, not mgmt or owner's fault. As for Heron 309, it is a very nice condo. Wraparound balcony allowed the wind to blow around the side of the unit, which made for a nice relaxing place to sit. (Doubt if middle unit balconies experienced this breeze.) The living room side view was perfect for watching fireworks. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Unit was clean for the most part, but could use a good deep cleaning (baseboards dusty, sticky tile from floor cleaner build up, master bathroom mildew). Chief complaint: the ceiling fan and lack of lighting in the master bedroom--15 watts in a dark room. I read prior reviews before booking and assumed it would be fixed by the time we got there. NO! So...Even though the ceiling fan is pretty, it does NOT function properly and should be replaced. Bulbs are burned out and can't be easily replaced; light must be left on if you want the ceiling fan on; and the fan makes noise! REPLACE THE CEILING FAN! It does NOT take that long (1-2hrs max) to replace a fan so there is no reason why it can't been done between bookings. We took the lamp out of the living room and moved it to the bedroom so we could find what we wanted in our suitcases at night. Walk over to beach was not bad but if disabled, I recommend staying on gulf side. Location in town and to Destin was good. Enjoyed walking on pier at night. Unit close to stairs and perfect distance away from smelly trash chute! Would possibly stay here again.
