Coastal vibes is the go to host!

When it comes to rental host if you don't go with Coastal Vibes you haven't gone with the best. They go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as if you are in your own place. We always feel like they address any issues we have right away. Even if it is only as simple as a light bulb change

We couldn't have found a better place to stay. The accommodations were more than enough, we were able to sleep 8 of us comfortably. The walking distance to the beach was about as close as we could get without being on the beach itself. We loved the memories we made and enjoyed our time together at the pools. We can't thank Coastal Vibes enough for helping us make those memories. We enjoyed reading fellow vacationers stories and hope to one day return .

Luxury View

It was an amazing stay. My aunt is already requesting that we stay again next month. The staff is very nice and attentive. The beds were comfy and home decor was well appointed. We vacationed at the same time as a lot of kids out for fall break. However, we never heard any outdoors noise inside of the unit from the fun being had outside in the pool.

Senior Trip 2024

This unit was perfect for my daughter’s senior trip! We enjoyed the rooftop hot tub, especially to watch the fireworks. There were so many pools for everyone to relax in including the lazy river. The restaurants within walking distance were also a plus. We will definitely be making another trip in the future.

Rating of Heron PH - 09

Condo was everything advertised. Actually had more beach equipment than originally said. We had total of 7 adults and was plenty of room and most accommodating. Would certainly stay here again. Couldn't figure tv out and they sent someone over immediately to fix it. Simple fix in programming. Can't say enough about property or staff. Thanks for a great stay.

We enjoyed our vacation so much at Destin West. The communication with Coastal Vibes was always very prompt when I had a question and the unit was just what we needed for our family vacation. It had everything we needed and enough room for multiple of us to enjoy. The resort itself was beautiful as well! We can't wait for our next trip!!

A wonderful Thanksgiving getaway!

This unit was exactly what we were looking for in our week away from home! It was clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed. We spent as much time as we could on the roof-top enjoying the hot tub, the sunshine and the view! This property is in a convenient location, and it is an easy walk to the beach and the boardwalk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Loved our penthouse condo at Destin West. Was beautifully decorated. Our kids loved the hot tub on the roof. The lazy river was awesome. Being able to swim in the ocean and the bay was really cool! Would definitely recommend.

Had a great time

We loved everything about the condo and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The hot tub on the roof was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed it very much. Also, loved having the grill up there...so convenient. We have been to Destin West many times and found PH09 to be one of the best we have ever stayed in. We will be back as soon as we can!!! Thanks for a great stay.

Great Place to stay!

This was our 2nd stay at this penthouse condo. We love it and all the amenities it offers. -The beach cart and chairs save me room for packing other things we need. -The hot tub and grill on the roof are awesome, and also having access to the splash pad for the kids is perfect too. Overall just a great, fun, family friendly place to stay. We'll be back!
