This unit was wonderful and clean. This was the first time we stayed in a condo as we usually stay next door at The Island. I will likely never go back to a hotel stay and hope to continue to book at Destin West.

Beautiful Beach, Perfect Location

This condo was perfect for our first trip to Okaloosa Island. It had everything we needed and was very clean overall. The resort is clean and well maintained, with a fantastic location. The private beach is stunning. We had a fabulous week and hope to return. I took off one star for cleanliness because many of the plates and utensils in the cabinet/drawers were dirty upon arrival. We ran a large load through the dishwasher and all was well.

Weeklong Family Vacay

The condo itself was fine, however the facility’s elevators were out of order off and on the whole time we were there which was very frustrating seeing as I was already struggling with a broken ankle and walking boot.

Review

Our only complaint was the side pool gate isn’t open. Your property doesn’t offer any bar or food service, but the next door property does, yet we had to walk twice as far to get. That was beyond ridiculous. That needs opened w a key code if you think other people would take advantage of. Open the gate!

Best one yet

We rent in the Gulfside building everything we come to Ft. Walton but this has been the best condo by far. We had extra luggage this time and couldn't bring our chairs but this condo had chairs and toys in the closet. That meant a whole lot to us and my 8 year old daughter loved the toys. This is a beautiful condo with a spectacular view. We will rent again in the future. Thanks so much. We made lots of memories.

We were amazed by the spectacular fine white sand and aqua clear water. Much to do in the area even if its cool. Bucceneer Pirate Boat was a blast and Gulfarium was wonderful. Although it was cool the sun was very intense and warmed us up. 60 degree days made the beach very enjoyable too. Bring a kite -plenty of wind and space to fly. Bonus-we found 3 keepable sandollars :) Wish and large pool was heated and recommend having shuffle board and at least 2 corn hole games out on the beautiful large Gulf side Pool deck for added pleasure. We used The Island resort games a couple of times. We will be back for sure!!

Good location, chinchy with necessities

The location was nice, private beach and lazy river were great. Be sure to bring your own towels for beach and pool!! Not a bad stay overall but (compared to the many similar rentals we have all used) we all found the lack of a decent stock of basic necessities to be really annoying. 5 women flying in, staying for 4 days and 5 nights. We had four tiny rolls of TP, 1 roll of paper towels, no dish soap (there was dishwasher powder) 2 trash bags, no coffee filters. It's just irritating to have to buy and supply things like that when you fly in for a vacation. Hopefully the excess we left is at least given to the next guests. Toilet handle broke on the inside on the tank day 1 and it took over 24 hours and 3 calls to get maintenance to repair it.

This is probably our new favorite place to stay on the gulf coast. Great view of the beach and ocean and overlooks the pool. Nice having different amenities on both sides of the resort.. Loved having staff checking on who's coming and going as well. Condo was clean and well stocked for our group of 5 adults. Would not hesitate to book it again. Thanks Paul

Excellent location needs updated

The location is great as always at Destin West. This particular condo is in need of a good update. Beds are extremely uncomfortable (people had to move to living room) and couch is very worn. Patio furniture overcrowded on balcony and too short to see over railing.
