I stayed at Destin West before and always wanted to come back. My wife and I decided to take a few days away with some friends, and it was perfect. Staying Bayside with easy access to the pool was perfect. The beach is a quick walk away, as well as plenty of restaurants and activities at the Boardwalk.
We spent the week of Independence Day here and had a great time. The condo was in great shape and very clean, there was plenty of space for my wife and me, our son, and my in-laws, and the pool and lazy river are great. Easy access to beach and restaurants and we found plenty to do. Would definitely recommend!

This unit was amazing! The views From up top on the balcony were immaculate! Would definitely book again!
We took my neice, sister, parents, and Mother-in-law for her senior beach trip! Loved the views, the food, and everything Destin had to offer. This was our 5th stay at Destin West, and their 1st. We definitly continue coming back.
We enjoyed our stay overall. Just disappointed in the cleanliness of the condo. There was a lot of sand in the bed in the master bedroom on the first night sleeping here. I don’t think it was changed after the previous guests. The location is awesome! The pool and hot tubs are great. Views are beautiful and access to the beach is very convenient.
The condo was great, just as advertised, lots of room, we had several guests and there was lots of room for them. The facility is wonderful, the pools and lazy river are nicely presented and clean, the area is a great place to relax. The only issue is that February in the panhandle of Florida can be iffy, and this year wasn't great, pretty cool, windy and rainy. The pool area is sheltered from the wind partially so we were able to spend some time there, but the Gulf beach was not very nice because of the weather.
Was a very beautiful place, clean and had most of the things you’d need. Which helps a lot! Especially for first timers on our own like we were. Would definitely recommend and will return myself!!
Ps. Main patio door didn’t lock. Or I couldn’t get it too.
Thank you for sharing your space with us! Hope to return soon! ❤️

Very nice property with amazing views. Love this area of Florida and will be back in the future. Family friendly and good communication/responsiveness with property management. Had a wonderful time.
The property was clean and plenty of space to accommodate our two families. My only issue was the ice maker didn’t work, but they provided a couple ice trays. There were plenty of small appliances and utensils to make meals in the condo. The place could use some updating, but it’s clean and met our needs.
