Horrible service!!!

We have stayed at Destin West for 10yrs and in this particular room 3 or 4 times. This time was awful. The sofa bed is broken and not even attached to the coach so it is not useable. The couch does not sit right because the bed is broken. There was no toaster to be found. The microwave is not a conventional microwave. The balcony door is broken so if you open it then you can not shut it. The room did have beach service, but it is advertised to have a balcony box with chairs, umbrellas, and toys. We planned to use those chairs so we didn’t have to wait on beach service. Of course, there was nothing in the balcony box. I reached out immediately and gave them permission to come into the room. I sent them pictures and still nothing was done. I received 1 call while I was on the beach and when I tried to call back, it wouldn’t receive calls. Two days went by and nothing was done. Then I randomly receive a message that they are sorry and are just going to credit me $75. I told them that that wasn’t enough considering my kids had no where to sleep, but of course they did not respond.

Great location

This is a perfectly located condo. Super easy access to the beach, pools and the Boardwalk restaurants and shopping. The condo includes two rental chairs in the beach which is worth over $200. Super communication- text and phone. Very clean.

Relaxing Trip

My friends and I liked this property! There were 3 of us, so we had 2 people in the bed and we brought an air mattress for the 3rd person due to reading reviews about the uncomfy couch mattress. It worked well and there was a perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. I honestly thought the property would be smaller! It was nice to be able to sit out on the patio. Perfect distance of a walk to the beach. Couldn't have asked me a closer distance. I thought the place was pretty clean and I didn't smell any weird odors like previous reviews have said. The only issue we had was that they only gave us 2 wristbands instead of 3. It took a while to get a hold of someone from the Vacasa company. Luckily, no one was checking wristbands at the beach or pool when we went. We eventually got our 3rd wristband. It was just annoying having to text and call the company a bunch of times since we had the right amount of people on the reservation. Anyways, I've been to this resort 2 times before and I would definitely recommend staying here. The lazy river and hot tubs are very relaxing! We went during our spring break trip and it wasn't that busy, but definitely would be busier in the summer time.

Condo Review

Me and my family had a great time staying at this condo. It was easy to check in, & check out. The place was clean, and everything we needed was there when we arrived! The pools, lazy river, and hot tubs were great! We did have a couple issues though. The mattress on the pull out couch NEEDS to be thrown away ASAP and replaced! It should have been changed a long time ago! It’s so awful and u can literally feel the bars under it. And also If you call and ask for more towels, or anything it might take a day or two for them to get it to you! Other than that it’s a very great place to stay!

Great Location & Price!

A wonderful location for our family to enjoy the 4th of July. A short walking distance to the Boardwalk and all its fun, the pool was used every day multiple times a day and the beach was easy to walk to from the room. It was a great centrally located spot to drive to and from Destin as well. The room was comfy, cozy & clean. It was fully stocked with kitchen gadgets, though we basically slept and showered since we were out and about. Covered parking on the same level as the room was an added bonus! I recommend bringing an extra blanket and pillows. The room doesn’t have a laundry and we weren’t able to find the laundry in the condo complex so I recommend packing extra clothes and beach towels unless you plan on visiting a laundromat. Lastly, the room doesn’t come with beach chair reservations or any you can bring with you. We elected to not rent and just use the classic towel on the sand method and it wasn’t a problem. Highly recommend this place for its’ location, price and pools; we will be back!

Great Location!

We would definitely stay at this resort again! The condo was clean and a short walk to the beach. There’s only one condo next door then none for several miles so it’s easy to walk down and feel like you’re on a private beach! Great for a weekend getaway! We especially loved being able to walk down and enjoy restaurants just a quick walk down the beach and only a 5 minute drive to the Margaritaville area in Destin.

Okay for a quick stay

This unit is okay if you don’t plan on spending a ton of time in it. The sliding glass door on the patio barely functions. It took me and my husband both to close it. The room was not cleaned as well as it should have been. Sand in the floor and hair in the shower that did not belong to us. Our code to the lock stopped working two hours before check out while we were trying to take our stuff to the car. The listing says there is an ice maker in the unit and there is not. Overall we would stay at this resort again but not in this particular room.

Great location between Destin and Ft Walton Beach. Room was ok, a few issues.

Great location between Destin & Ft Walton Beach. Very short walk to beach from room, or use pedestrian bridge to cross the street to the Lazy River pool and river waterway area. Room was ok. Did not appear that it gets used much. Some of the shower towels were dirty / stained, room had a musty odor, some mold / mildew in the shower, kitchen and back side of porch curtains. Had a major leak under the sink, but maintenance was quick to respond and fix. All and all still a pretty good stay!
