This property is beautiful and had everything we needed for our week vacation. It's in a great location. The location is on the bayside of the property but the gulf side is easy to get to. Our teenagers loved the access to the pools and lazy river and the included hot tub on the roof.

Wonderful condo!

Our stay was great at this Heron PH condo. The decor seemed recently updated and was immaculately clean when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and it was great to have laundry in unit! The hot tub and roof deck was a treat as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great condo, resort and location

We walked to the boardwalk most nights for Dinner. Coastal vacations provided a great list of restaurants to try and we took advantage of the Donut Hole in Destin and Old Bay Steamer just down the road. Pools were heated in March and the rooftop Hottub was perfect on those chilly days/nights! Would definitely rent this unit again.

Wonderful Anniversary trip

We spent 4 lovely nights in the lap of luxury, enjoying every moment of our stay!! Even though the temps were beginning to cool, the hot tub kept us warm :-) the kitchen was well stocked with the essentials. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for some time away. We had tons of delicious food and saw some historical sites as well.

Location, views, and quality.

Destin west was the perfect location for our family of 6 plus a baby! It’s so close to the boardwalk that we often walked to it and Destin was just a short drive away. The rooftop provided the perfect place for drinking coffee while looking at the bay or enjoying the privacy of the hot tub. As for the place itself, everything was great! The whole place was shockingly spacious and very comfy. Would 10/10 book again.

Beautiful condo with everything you would need, very clean. Roof top access was very nice. The grounds were very well maintained and the pools and lazy river were a big hit. Easy walk across the skybridge to the beach. Management was very helpful with minor maintenance issue, prompt to respond. Management was also very helpful answering questions I had before we got there. We would definitely stay here again!!
