Bayside was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed the views, lazy river/pools/hot tubs and peaceful floating out in the bay. We expected to spend time at the beach, but enjoyed the bay more. The condo was large and clean and had tons of towels for swimming and bathing, which was essential for us since we flew in.

Amazing Condo and Property

Amazingly thoughtful hosts (they even have a small pack and play for young children), great condo and awesome property. It’s a short walk to the beach and is in the middle of everything. My son absolutely loved the lazy river. My family will definitely return!

Great Time!

We had a wonderful vacation here! We have a 6 year old and an 8 month old and it was awesome having the beach so close and the pools for days when the ocean was too choppy. It was close enough to drive to amenities but nice to be away from the craziness of Destin. It was great having floaties and beach toys available too! Thanks for great memories we can look back on for years to come!

Like home away from home

Great spacious 3 bedroom condo that felt like home with real dishes, plenty of big towels, and high end appliances. The living room, kitchen, and master bedroom/bathroom had plenty of room. The patio area had a storage box full of beach toys, umbrella, chairs, floaties, etc.

Beach Time

We very much enjoyed our family vacation in the beautiful condo at Destin West. The condo was top notch and had many thoughtful amenities within it to make our stay so wonderful. I cannot think of one thing I would change. We enjoyed the lazy river every night and used the skywalk many times for beach access. The property was pristine and very well kept. We would love to stay in this spacious and lovely unit again.

Trip for softball nationals

We had a total of 8 people in our two families staying at this condo. Everything was as described. Additional hand towels and hand soap were requested and they had not been refilled and were promptly delivered. We had everything we needed including a great view of the lazy river. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your place.

Awesome Condo to stay in Destin

My family of five really enjoyed staying at this condo for seven days. The condo had great amenities like plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, beach wagon, boards, floats, really clean and updated. The only negative is the Master Bedroom bed was too firm for us (didn't sleep well). Overall my whole family enjoyed out stay!

Better than expected!

This property was wonderful! It was better in person than the pictures! Communication was excellent, clear, and timely. The condo was clean, updated and well stocked. The resort was great for our family with teens (13 and 16). The multiple pools and the beach gave the kids some roaming room without needing to leave the property. The pool area staff kept things very clean, made sure only guests were utilizing the facilities and interacted well with all the spring break kids. We all loved it and would highly recommend!

Everything you need!

Destin West has everything you need for an amazing vacation. The property has so much to offer for all ages. The location is great for avoiding the Destin traffic. This particular unit was well stocked with everything you need, including extra beach chairs, beach umbrellas and floaties. There was extra toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap and even spices. The beds were comfortable and the unit was decorated nicely. We were impressed with the communication with the owner who addressed our needs and answered questions throughout the stay. Would highly recommend!

Memorial Day weekend/week stay

This is the best condo we’ve stayed in whether it’s been Destin or Orange Beach, our to normal destinations. We’ve stayed at this property before but needed a condo with a true 3rd bedroom. This one will be a repeat. They were so well stocked. We come prepared with trash bags, laundry detergent, etc. but they had backups for everything. The access to their beach towels and pool/beach accessories was a great plus. The square footage was great.
