Great condo
Perfect location in the building to not have the sun directly on the balcony doors ever but a great view of the sunset and beach. Very limited amount of pots and pans. Only 1 big skillet. I was disappointed in the rental company. First time I have had one want to charge me $75 to get there 30 minutes early. That’s a bit much for something that cost over $3000 for 4 nights.

Host was nice but would not stay again
Condo was dated and dirty. We had to sweep the floor when we got there because of all the dirt. It stunk of cleaning supplies yet didn’t seem clean at all. The bedroom to the right when you walk in was dirty as well. The mattress looked like it had a urine stain on it. Not of fan of all the decor, felt dirty and cluttered. Would not return.

Nothing too fancy. Just right for our family
Nothing fancy. Clean. The WiFi is not the best but not why we came on vacation. Just an fyi for those needing to do work or school. The property if great for families. We loved walking over to the bay side and hanging out at the pool and lazy river there. It was much busier with lots of families. Check in is super simple. Condo was spacious enough. Two bedroom and a separate room with bunk beds. Parking was nice bc you park on the level of your room so your vehicle is always close.

A large beachfront condo
The unit is exactly as pictured. It is spotless, clean, the view from the deck is amazing. Pools were very large and not crowded. The Okaloosa Island Pier and the aquarium are right next-door. It really is the perfect unit. I would not hesitate to recommend it.

This is our second year staying at Destin West Resort, first year at this unit. We absolutely loved this unit. Very clean and updated. Loved waking up to the view of the ocean and having the availability to all the amities of both gulf and bay side. We will absolutely be staying again next year! This is our home away from home! The property manager, Amanda, was AMAZING to work with.

Spring Break 2023
Nice property, great area away from crowd. Beds not too bad uncomfortable. Plenty of towels, which is unusual for a condo, in my experience. We didn't have to wash any. One complaint is that the WiFi connection was awful! My daughter was on Spring Break but still had an exam & other work to do. Easy check out, not much to do & cleaning fee was less than most places. But the cleaning service did arrive before the 10am check out time, which made us feel rushed. But would stay here again.

Would stay again but there is room for improvement
The condo was as pictured and very clean upon arrival. I really appreciated it being ready at 4:00 PM rather than a later time as warned because we were travelling with a young toddler. The location of the condo was perfect and somewhat easy to find. We stayed at another condo at the same property in April so we sort of knew whereabouts it would be located. We parked on the 5th level and usually had a parking spot close to the stairs and we could easily walk to the condo. The view and location to the beach was wonderful. Here are a few things I think the owners could improve on : 1. Label all of the light switches 2. Label all of the cabinets 3. Add a night stand on the right side of the bed in the front bedroom 4. Include 2 lawn chairs and umbrella with the condo as do other condos at the same property. 5. The parking passes were in the packet of Welcome info but I couldn't find them at first as they were on the backside of a pizza coupon. I just saw the coupon and thought the passes were missing. If the passes were put inside the packet with the parking pass side up, I would have seen it. 6. In all of the paperwork with the condo info I must have found three or four different phone numbers. It would be less frustrating and confusing if one number was given as the contact number. We did have a couple of issues during our stay with some things that needed repair. As instructed, I reported them right away shortly after our arrival. We found the master bed frame broken and the carpeting where it met the tile to the kitchen entrance had exposed carpet tacks. My little 18 mo grandson repeatedly stepped on them as did myself and my son. With my husband's ingenuity he was able to prop a cooking pot where the bed frame had broken in order to be able to sleep in the bed and we wound up putting a towel down over the place where the carpet tacks were exposed. I reported the bed frame issue first and told them of our work around. They advised they would submit a work order. Within a few minutes after reporting it, I got a call back stating they wanted to address the issue while we were there and that someone would be out the next day. No one ever showed up and we never got a call back at that point. All in all, we had a great stay and I would not hesitate to reserve this condo again. However, if the above improvements were made it would definitely be a plus. I was disappointed that no one showed up to make the necessary repairs though.
