Things I wish I’d known before booking this condo

This was our family’s first vacation to the Destin area. Property was in a great location in Ft Walton. All communications from the property manager were thorough to ensure that we knew how to access the condo, etc. We are a family of four including two kids (age 8 and 11). Here are some things we encountered that I wish we’d known before booking as we won’t be staying in this condo again…the condo is adjacent to the elevator. On our first night in the condo, there was a lot of noise from people getting on and off. Additionally there is no one to call and appeared to be no security on the gulf side of the property so we had to listen to this very late at night. The master bedroom is at the very front of the condo near the front door. So, all of the hallway noise - you hear it laying in bed at night. The bunk bedroom has no closet or storage. The bunk beds fit our children, but their suitcases and stuff ended up in the living room or other places around the condo. On our first morning in the condo, we encountered an issue with several gnats in the kitchen and a roach was in a cabinet. I reached out to the local contact provided. Kim came later in the afternoon and looked around the kitchen, poured a solution down the sink, and said she would call the exterminator. We didn’t hear anything else the rest of the week. The balcony has no wall to right so you’ll see your neighbors. If we stay at the property again we’ll stay bayside as it is much newer and the pools are much nicer.

Wonderful

Wow, what a beautiful condo! We just stayed last week during some really windy, chilly days but we still enjoyed it. We will definitely be back again! It was just perfect except for a few minor things. Cons: The king bed is not so comfortable and both shower water drains slowly (understandable since it is on the 4th floor and many other condos using water) The elevator took FOREVER. Pros: We were so comfortable that it makes me want to buy one now. Lol Perfect view from the balcony. Coffee every morning on it. Very kid friendly. We had a 13 yr old, 7 yr old, and 1 year old and I felt like it was super safe for them. Clean and comfortable. Easy access to ALL the pools. Nice walk over crosswalk to bayside to enjoy other amenities. My baby boy loved the little kiddy area on the walk there. Easy walk to the Boardwalk which we love! Lots to do in just this area and you can walk. Gulfarium, Wild Willys Adventure, Grand Prix go-carts, The Boardwalk, beautiful beaches, lots of yummy restaurants! We will definitely be booking again!

Great Condo complex

This condo complex is great. Many different pools and hot tubs between the 2 main complexes (use over road walkway between the two). Direct access to the beach. Close to Destin without being in the congestion. The condo was nice and perfect for a family of 4. Easy check in, convenient parking. Patio on the condo is great for watching the ocean or pool. Only cons were the mattresses and creaky king bed and only having 1 hanger in the closet. We’d have no issue staying here again

Your there for the beach

The Bad: Both showers drain slowly. You stand in several inches of water. King bed not that comfortable. The Good: Ocean view, overlooks pool, plenty of seating, beach chairs and towels were included. Destin West property, not the unit itself: needs to be updated, looking old. Lazy river water was gross and everything around the lazy river just seemed old and dirty.

Nice property and location

Great view!!! There are several choices for water activities to keep everyone busy. Very attentive staff while addressing a couple issues with a/c and washer. Only negative was using the included chair rental. You have to stand in line everyday to get your rental and if you want the front row to see the water be ready to get up at 7am and wait in line til 9 when they open. Chairs/ umbrella are crammed together and make it difficult to access the water. Rental agents are not accommodating to let you reserve rentals for the whole week. You must wait in line every day. Positive- There is a small area to set up your own beach equipment but this also fills up early and of course there is a battle for each square foot of sand. There is also a public beach a short walk to the east if you want to spread out more. The kitchen is nice with all supplies needed and we enjoyed the balcony views. Our family enjoyed the pools and there is a lot to do on the property and nearby (walking distance).
