We loved the layout of the condo and how comfortable we felt. The deck was great and the the walk way to the beach. The weather was horrible during our stay and the property lost power for a couple hours. We had to use the stairs due to the power outage and some of the emergency lights were not working which made it dangerous and a little scary. The property felt safe, and kept up with. We had an overall good trip minus the weather. We all slept like babies.
We loved the Lazy River and all of the great things that Destin West had to offer. The room was great the only compliant is not enough towels or kitchen things.
We loved our stay! Our room was nice and spacious. The condo had everything we needed! They literally thought of everything like extra fans! The couch is super comfy and we loved the beautiful pools.
Everything was very nice and clean, family friendly, awesome view . My wife and I have stayed at destin west just not in this building so we knew that it was going to be a great stay ,only one complaint one of the tvs didn't work otherwise Everything was great we will be back soon!!
Our stay was probably the most relaxing vacation we’ve ever had. Everyone had a wonderful time, from our 3 & 5 yr old grandchildren to me and my wife. Everything was as advertised on the web site. We had an issue with the light in the kitchen and it was resolved immediately. Very friendly and professional staff. We will be returning!
This is a fabulous condominium and we really enjoyed our stay. Very spacious and comfortable. Heated swimming pools, “Lazy River” and pedestrian bridge over the highway to get to the beach made things very convenient to use.
If we’re ever in the area again, we’ll definitely see if this condo is available.

We have been coming to Destin West for 13 years. Most of the time we stay at Mrs. Julie's condos. They are always clean, well-stocked, and very responsive to any needs we have. Thanks again!

Reviewer Comments:
This unit was a great location for enjoying the bay, ocean and all the pools. So much is in walking distance. We were able to walk to dinner, rent a jet ski and enjoy long days at the beach. Unit Manager was very responsive to any of our needs. I would definitely recommend.
Everything was top notch. We had an awesome time. The condo is beautiful. Your view of the lazy river is now blocked by the growth of the palm trees, but the view of the bay is beautiful. We saw dolphins more than once during our stay. If there are any slight disappointments was the cleanliness of the floor (needs a very through cleaning) and dust above the kitchen sink. The mattresses in the full size/twin size room were uncomfortable and could use an upgrade. Especially if you are staying more than a weekend. Very minor issues and we would certainly book again!!

Disliked: Communication
Terrible management
Prior to arrival I had messaged the “owner” with no response. On day of arrival did the same with no response. Upon arrival we had an issue with shower and it flooded the whole bathroom. I immediately notified “the owner” and called a number on the check in paperwork. It was 5:30pm and no one answered, text, email or call. Not until the following day did I get a response and not until late that evening did we get a new set of towels as all had to be used for clean up.
Kitchen supplies were beyond limited.

Reviewer Comments:
We actually enjoyed our stay very much at Destin West. I do feel like the furnishings and bedding are tired and worn. The kitchen was well stocked. But, the frying pans are in severe need of being changed out. I was very please with size of our unit and the location. Was very pleased with the management except for the fact that my teenage daughter's satelite in her room never worked and wasn't repaired the whole week we were there. We would choose Destin West again in the future. The bayside with the lazy river was beautiful. We walked to the gulf side resort and was very thankful we chose the bay side. My family really enjoys the pools over the beach. The beach was fun to visit a couple of times but we always looked forward to getting back in the relaxing lazy river. Overall, we had a fabulous vacation.
