Absolutely Amazing !

We loved this property. The condo was nice, spacious, and clean. The upper patio was a huge hit for my family we loved grilling out up there and getting in the hot tub. The view of the bay was so pretty in the mornings it made for a great place to drink coffee and study the Bible. The kids loved all the pools and of course the beach. Coastal vibes did an excellent job keeping us informed and provided us with such a great vacation experience . We hope to return sometime in the future!

Beautiful place to spend time

Very well equipped with spacious room for a family stay. Relaxing , gorgeous views from the rooftop, with views overlooking the pools and the bay. Lots of good food and entertainment within walking distance, with many more options a short drive away. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

Will Stay Again!

We loved the condo, location, and amenities! There’s nothing better than ending your day being able to get in your private hot tub at night. The kids loved the lazy river, and the walk to the beach was easy. This was our first time staying bayside, and we will stay again! The condo was clean with comfortable beds and having the beach cart and chairs was very helpful!

We enjoyed our vacation so much at Destin West. The communication with Coastal Vibes was always very prompt when I had a question and the unit was just what we needed for our family vacation. It had everything we needed and enough room for multiple of us to enjoy. The resort itself was beautiful as well! We can't wait for our next trip!!

This unit was perfect for my daughter’s senior trip! We enjoyed the rooftop hot tub, especially to watch the fireworks. There were so many pools for everyone to relax in including the lazy river. The restaurants within walking distance were also a plus. We will definitely be making another trip in the future.
