Spring Getaway for me and Hubby

Very nice and comfortable condo. The master bed is a little high to get into if you are a shorter person or have any physical challenges (like my recently broken wrist), but on the plus side, has adjustable bases.We've stayed at this resort in the bay side a few times and like the water features on this side.Would definitely stay here again.

Great Family Vacation

Property was clean and laid back. We enjoyed the lazy river, and fishing from the dock in the marina. Walk to the beach on the sky bridge wasn’t bad. Definitely recommend renting chairs/umbrella for the beach to be set up for you each morning. Short walk to the pier on the beach. Overall great location!

Great beach getaway

We had a great week in this unit. Plenty of space for mom, dad, kids and grandparents. Very well stocked unit. Just bring your clothes and your swimsuit and you’re all set! Many dining options within close proximity. Beach was a short walk across the pedestrian bridge. It was chilly at times, but the pools were great (lazy river is not heated). We would stay again!

Wish I could have stayed longer!

Overall, everything was great! Condo and complex were very clean and well maintained. Worst complaint I have is that the kids can't throw a ball or any object in the pool or on the pool deck and the Destin West managers make sure of that. Let kids be kids.
