Labor Day weekend
Stayed with my adult children, 3yo, and infant. condo was nice and fantastic view. we enjoyed all of the ementities and will come again. Kitchen was not overly stocked but we had all we needed for two meals in, and there is a grilling area which was nice. I highly recommend if you are looking for a resort that is quite and out of the hustle and bustle.

Condo is worn
Condo is dirty and needs updates, but will sell because of amenities. View is great. Patio furniture needs fixing. Lazy river is great, plenty of tubes. Even swam in the harbor since the gulf was full of seaweed.

Review Heron 502
Beautiful place. Better instructions on remotes and cable in living room would help. We got stations in the bedroom that we couldn’t get in living room. If you turned the Tv off in living room the Tv in bedroom would go off. The pillows in master bedroom left something to be desired. There should be a warning on how HOT the water gets in this condo. Plenty of dishes and appliances. Nice place. Would highly recommend.

Stuff we experienced needed a little change
May need to update listing as the second pull out bed that was a love isn’t in there anymore. It didn’t affect us but could someone else. Also the broom that is in the closet to use is so small. So may need big one. The floors were very sticky. But overall was a great stay and would stay there again. Great location and beautiful view

Okaloosa bayside
We were torn between beach or bay. This is the best of both. We stayed on bayside but had access to beach and amenities on both sides of the resort.

Relaxing
If you are looking for a beautiful, clean place to stay with your family for a warm relaxing getaway look no further. This amazing place will not disappoint. We had everything we needed and the all of the beds were comfortable. There’s a balcony that overlooks the bay with plenty of patio furniture and the perfect view of the sunset. A trip across the sky bridge and a short walk takes you to the breathtaking ocean beach. There really is something for everyone to do here! Plenty of restaurants, attractions and plenty of shopping.

Spacious unit with nice view
We were there for a boys baseball tournament. It was great for what we needed. This unit was spacious with a nice view. My only negatives are that the decor is very dated compared to most other units which made it someone dark and you can’t tell from the pictures. This unit would be great with some updating and if it were a little better stocked with the basics.

Amazing Stay on Okaloosa Island
This was our first time visiting Okaloosa Island, and my family had a wonderful week at Destin West Beach and Bay Resort. The condo had enough space to accommodate all of us and it was fully equipped with all the necessities needed for a week-long stay. We loved the large patio with the serene water view. The pools and lazy river were a hit with my six-year-old. We liked that we had a smaller pool right next to our building and the lazy river pool area was a short walk from us. We also enjoyed the easy access to the beach - just a short walk over the bridge that connects the two properties. Definitely get to the beach early to reserve your chair and umbrella because they filled up quickly. The beach was great, the only downside was the chair/umbrella rental company takes up the prime spots. I have visited many beaches in Florida, and this beach cannot be beat. The check in process was a breeze and there was always indoor and outdoor parking near the building. The resort is close to restaurants, Publix, the Boardwalk, miniature golfing, and Gulfarium Adventure Park. My son had a blast being part of the dolphin show there (reserved online ahead of time). The property manager was amazing! My son left all his Nintendo Switch games in the unit after we left, and she mailed them back to us the very same day. Overall, it was a wonderful week with unforgettable memories. If you are like me, and look at a million properties before choosing one, then you will not be disappointed.

Bring TP trash bags and dishwasher/laundry detergent
Would stay again. Perfect for 6 but I can see how 10 have sleeping arrangements. Kitchen furnished beyond expectation! The property and grounds are very well done and maintained. Lots of traffic to the elevator to the crosswalk but never found it dirty. Pools were pristine. We added an extra night! If you are excited about the spa tub in main bedroom bring a spa cleaning tablet and let it cycle and clean it before use. Otherwise there are particles from previous guests when you turn it on. This is an informative review not a negative one. We enjoyed our off season stay!

Family of 9 vacation
This condo was super nice and plenty of room. From our condo to the beach was about a 7 min walk which wasn't bad at all. The only things we disliked was having to cross traffic to enter the condo parking lot (really busy roadway with no stop lights) and the pool/lazy river wasn't quite like the descriptions and photos. They are easily accessible however on most days the water was murky with lots of debris from the mulch lining the lazy river. Would be nice if there were signs for the lazy river indicating children should not be rough housing and cannon balling into the lazy river. Hard to enjoy a relaxing float with a bunch of kids jumping in and chasing each other. If you are anticipating cooking for a large group, bring a griddle or your own large skillet. Condo only had small skillets, hard to feed my army.

This condo was excellent. Absolutely beautiful view of the bay but also close to the beach. The pools, especially the lazy river, were a big hit since it was double red flags our entire stay. Condo was super clean and close to pretty much everything.
