Never had to leave

This place is in a prime location. The boardwalk is within walking distance. The pools, lazy River, access to the bay are all amazing. We will definitely be back. The pictures are very accurate but the size of the place is excellent. Everyone had room to stretch out. We did not feel like we were sitting on top of ones other. My favorite part was sitting on the balcony drinking my coffee in the mornings.

The Perfect Place to Stay!!

This property is AMAZING! Everyone that stayed had an awesome time and the only complaint we had was very minor! First off the location, the condo is located perfectly right down the road from the pier/restaraunts and maybe 5 minutes to get into Destin for the boardwalk/crab island. There is also a gas station right next door for those emergency needs. The condo itself is great, plenty of room for everyone, 3 bathrooms, an AMAZING balcony, full kitchen, great pools and a short walk to the beach side. Our only small complaint for the condo is the sliding door to go from the living room to the balcony is HEAVY, to open it from the inside it's not to difficult because the handle is big, but when it's shut and you are outside it takes a lot of force to get it back open, some of the kids could not open the door from outside on the balcony. But like I said this did not affect the stay much and we just worked around it. The property was great, I was allowed to check in about an hour early, and they give you rolling carts to bring all your stuff up from your vehicle which is a great help. The pools are lots of fun, on our side there was 3 pools, 2 hot tubs, a want and a HOT tub, and then the lazy river. Plenty of parking for everyone, we had 4 vehicles and never once did I park more then 15 seconds from the elevator to get up. I would highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a big place to stay for vacation, especially if you have a family and kids!

DESTIN!

What an amazing place in an amazing location! Watched the sunrise every morning from bed and sunset every evening from balcony. Watched a wicked storm come past/over the bay from the safety of the balcony, what a light show even better than the fireworks on the gulf side the night before. Short walk to the pool, lazy river, fishing/boat dock. Bird watching and even saw a sting ray from the balcony. Only negative was the tight spaces to park under the building but there was plenty of spaces to park with more room to load/unload the vehicle in the outside parking.

Not kid friendly

The condo is very large and has a great view of the bay. Plenty of room to spread out. The closets are big enough to sleep in. We ate most meals on the balcony watching the boats. The kitchen supplies are somewhat limited. TVs are really old. We chose this facility because of the lazy River and the extra pools. There are no restrictions on alcohol and adult guests kept their coolers along the edge of the lazy River and filled their glasses from the River as they went around. By Friday it was basically a bar type atmosphere. In the condo beside us a grown woman who was packing up offered my 3 minor children her alcohol that she didn’t want to throw away even after I and my husband told her we didn’t drink. Pretty sure that’s illegal. The next set of neighbors got into a shouting argument from their balcony after midnight with another group of people on the ground. It turned into a parking lot brawl and we had to call the cops to come break it up. People carried off in cop cars and ambulances. Don’t put the pool bracelets on your kids. They will immediately lose them in the lazy River because they are too big and you will have to pay $20 plus tax. If you want to rent a chair on the front row at the beach you have to go wait in line at the hut on the beach about 8:30 before they open. Anyone can put their umbrella in front of you. If you want to put up a tent you have to get behind the front row or go down to the public beach. The public part is much nicer because it’s not crowded. The boat rental next door was very nice and you can use the sidewalk to get there from the back of the property.

Family Getaway

Perfect location for families. Several pool options on-site as well as at their sister location on the other side of the crosswalk. All areas were clean and safe. We also appreciated the easy access to the beach area on the Gulf. Ţwo beach chairs + umbrella are ready to rent for $25/$45 dollars (half vs full day). The property itself is spacious with a gorgeous patio area. Beds were fine. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but the bunked room is twin over full and twin over twin. A couple of the closets are big enough to be small bedrooms themselves! The wifi was spotty at times and inconsistent throughout the unit. We had 5 kids trying to do virtual school while we were there, so that posed challenges. Do not plan on anything being left behind by previous tenants. While there were adequate dishes for a family of 6, we needed to bring everything with us from dish soap to salt and pepper shakers. There's not much that's very walkable from the property itself, but plenty to keep our family entertained on site.

Nice trip

Owners were fabulous! Always available for questions. The resort attempted to obtain credit card info and amount paid for condo- but the owners tipped me off to it and handled the desk for me. So spacious in condo!! We had 9 people and had plenty of room. Loved having 2 king bedrooms plus the big bunk room. 2 huge storage closets as well. Big laundry room. Washer was a little scary with its noise but worked great. We had access to The Island resort as well with the big mountain waterfall which the kids loved swimming under to get to bar for a Coke.

Beautiful views and great amenities!

The condo was just as advertised. Very large balcony with fantastic views of the bay. The kids had a great time in the lazy river while we barbecued near by. A stroll over the pedestrian bridge to white sands and emerald water. Ice cold AC after long, hot days at Crab Island. The property owner was easy to communicate with leading up to our stay and helped us with another group whose original plans fell through looking to stay at the same time. Above and beyond. We will be booking again in the future!

Wonderful suite. Great views. Fantastic venue for families

I was a bit wary of this property given a scathing review that is on the VRBO site. However, I had been to the Destin West facility on two previous occasions, so I knew the complex itself was a great venue. We were making our reservations just as the Florida coronavirus short-term rental ban was ending, so there seems to have been a bit of a mad scramble around the time we were trying to reserve. We blocked out dates for one week and reserved them, but then it was cancelled from the owner's side. Turns out the owner and the complex have the ability to lease out the property and there was some overlap. However, via some back and forth with the owner, we were able to select an agreed upon week and off we went. Kudos to the owner for being very helpful and communicative. The condo is really large. Honestly if anything it is underused. There's room enough for a ping-pong table and some billiards in there with room to spare. The rooms are very nice and well furnished. The flooring/walls/bathroom emplacements are absolutely beautiful. As some reviews have mentioned, the TVs are bit outdated, but they work. I will say that the dishwasher and the clotheswasher sound like they are just about on their last legs, but they worked the whole time we were there. If I had one quibble, I would suggest that the deck furniture is getting a bit outdated (it's pretty beat up but no worse than some I've seen in this complex and elsewhere). The main deck sliding door is a bit sticky and heavy, but it works (and there are two more, regardless) The only real problem we had was that the wifi went out on day 4 and was never fixed... however I won't ding the owner for that, as I will explain. We called maintenance, and they came out very quickly and fiddled with the router. Figured it was a modem problem and said "we'll have to call Cox". I followed up over the next 2 days but no Cox. Two days after the original maintenance guy came, another one came, did the same thing, and said "we'll have to call Cox". So apparently if you want anything fixed, you need to go camp in the office. A bit of a problem when the wife wants to do photo processing on the laptop and the kids need it for their tablets in the evening. That said, the locale is incredible for kids. The complex is great. Close enough to Destin that you get that Destin beach sand without the Destin traffic. Views of the bay from the deck are amazing, slightly obscured by roofline next door.
