Excellent stay with beautiful views
The property was well maintained and the views were amazing. The condo is roomy and allows for some relaxation away from other guests. The FWB location was perfect with a 10 minute drive to Destin. This is an excellent property.

Fall Break trip
We found the Heron 303 condo last minute due to previous vacation plans being canceled due to hurricane. We felt truly blessed to be able to get this condo once we arrived. It was beautiful and very spacious. The condo and resort were very clean and the grounds with pools, hot tubs, lazy river were spectacular. The grounds crew worked hard to keep it clean. Being on the bay side was very convenient with easy access to the beach. We felt the Heron seemed newer compared to beach side rooms. The over the road walkway was nice. The condo has an assortment of beach items available with a nice wagon to carry items. Bring your own beach towels though. The rooms inside condo were very spacious and the 3 1/2 baths was a plus. We also loved the very large balcony with great views and lots of seating. We loved our time at Destin West and would definitely return again.

We had 4 adults and 3 kids in our stay and there was PLENTY of space. The bedrooms are big and spacious. We were there for a wedding but between the balcony and the lazy river it truly felt like a vacation. We’re already talking about booking again.

Great Condo
This is really a fantastic Condo, only real problem was the mattress in the master bedroom. They really need a new mattress in there but the view is so beautiful from it, we didn’t care how lumpy it was. Also probably need a newer TV in there, couldn’t get the streaming channels but we could still watch TV. Definitely no problem compared to that view. They do have some beach toys in the laundry room including chairs, umbrella and wagon. We did bring our own because I did not see that they had any in any of the reviews that I saw online. Also, I called and they told me they did not think they had any. They do so if you’re driving, don’t bother bringing any. The condo is very clean when we arrived. We did have a problem with the garbage disposal. Maintenance was there within an hour when I called and he was really nice and helpful. This condo is huge the balcony huge and you don’t see your neighbors.I thought it felt very private. Again those views so pretty. Beautiful beach, close to the pier. Lots of Dolphins swimming around the pier. Rick’s next door great place to watch the game and everyone said their food was great, we only tried the cheese curds…. Very tasty. I wavered back-and-forth about Gulfside and bayside because I really love to walk the beach but so happy with my decision of Bayside with grandkids it’s so nice to go right down to those pools and that lazy River is fantastic. Those kids loved it. Not too bad of a walk to the beach. Absolutely Beautiful !!

Return visit did not disappoint!
We visited this unit 3 years ago and loved it so much, we wanted to return. The space is perfect for our family with adult children. Everyone enjoyed relaxing at the beach (short walk) and the numerous pools. This area is very family friendly fir all ages. The unit was clean and spacious, with a kitchen that had everything we needed. The balcony is huge and has plenty of comfortable seating for all.

Wonderful Stay
This condo is even nicer than the current photos as they have done some updates. It is extremely spacious, and the location is just perfect. We did see 1 dolphin in the bay. Not sure if they are there often or if we just got lucky by seeing one the week we were there. Condo was very clean and the balcony is HUGE! Had a great time at Destin West! Would DEFINITELY stay there again!

Spacious condo with beautiful views of the bay
This condo was so clean and spacious. The direct view of the gulf allowed for breathtaking sunsets. We loved the closeness to the private Heron pool and to the lazy river. And Rick's on the island was just a few minutes walk. Great food we picked up and brought home several times. With the current pandemic that was a definite perk.

Thankful and Blessed
This condo was the perfect place to gather all our children for Thanksgiving! It was spacious, clean, fully equipped, and gorgeous! The view was fantastic! Many thanks to the maintenance man who came out on Thanksgiving day to replace a battery in the smoke detector. We waited less than 10 minutes after calling the office about the incessant beeping. I was impressed! We will be back!
