This is a wonderful place for us to stay during spring break with two teenagers and myself. The condo itself is wonderfully appointed, with everything you might need or want. Pots and pans, baking sheets, measuring cups, etc. Immaculately clean with very nice touch. Touches such as sparkling grape juice upon our arrival. Wonderful towels, which sounds like a funny thing to say, but if you’ve stayed in enough rentals, you know that that is important. Everything in perfect working order. The washer and dryer were especially helpful. The view from this property is probably one of the best you get to face the sunset and you have a view of the gulf. You’re also overlooking the Gulf side pool. If you were meeting people at the beach or pool, you are able to just go out on the balcony. The lazy river, the pools and the accessibility to the Boardwalk restaurants and the pier were perfect for our group. This rentals management was extremely responsive and when they didn’t hear from me on check-in, they messaged me to make sure everything was good. I told them I appreciated all the thoughtful touches in this property. We will definitely stay here again!
If you’re wondering what the view from the sofa is, this is it!
Another view from the balcony, stunning!!

The condo provided everything we needed for our family of 4! Views from the balcony were perfect for sunset views over the pier. Easy access to the beach and the pool area was essential for us, and we enjoyed every chance we could at the hot tub. Check-in and communication with the host was easy. Thanks for a great stay!

The condo was amazing. The host was good at communication. Beautiful beach view from the balcony and great balcony seating. Comfortable sofa for lounging and bed a pillows for sleeping were great also. Beach service was a plus. I would stay here again when visiting the area. It would probably be during a different week because the weather wasn't the greatest during our visit. But, you never know what you are going to get when in Florida.

Nice place

The condo was really clean and well taken care of. Beds were comfortable and linens were good quality. Pool towels were a !!It is advertised as 2 bedroom, but actually one of those is a bunk room that has space for beds only. Just fyi. There isn't a space for their belongings, it's very cramped. They had to put suitcases in the hallway. There were 2 pull out ottoman beds which would be nice for kiddos, we didnt use during our stay. The location of condos were nice and pool area was nice-very large pool which is very important to me. There is a kiddie pool which I felt was a waste since no one used the entire week, but would have been nice to 2 hot-tubs because it was always full. It was nice to have beach chair service included. Saved us room having to travel with chairs/umbrella and pool towels. We had a lot of rain and the water was terrible with June grass, but that's mother nature. Next time, we will most likely stay in Destin just for the location. We ended up in Destin every night either to eat or shop. It's not that far of a drive.

Perfect family spot!

This property was exactly as described - worked perfectly for a family of 4. Steps from the beach with private property board walk and great view from our balcony. We also enjoyed the spacious pool near our unit as well as the lazy river across the street at the bayside sister property. Chairs were easy to get on the beach and 2 are included with rental. Many restaurants nearby - full kitchen if you want to cook! The washer and dryer in room were great - really helped with all the beach clothes. Overall great stay with great hosts - clean and all needs were met!

Wonderful Vacation

This was our 2nd stay at Destin West Gulfside. We had another amazing time here. The Unit was very clean and in excellent condition. The view was amazing from our condo and the location of Destin West is perfectly located for all the attractions and restaurants in the Fort Walton and Destin area. Frank and Amanda, the property managers answered all our questions and were very professional and friendly. We will be returning!!!!

Summer vacay!

This was our first time staying at this particular condo, second time at Destin West! Overall, we had a positive experience. The property was clean, which made a great first impression. All necessary appliances were included, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking at all of the beautiful views. The sights and sounds of the waves crashing were so relaxing. Be mindful, there is a bunkroom a not a 2nd bedroom. It was notably cramped for my teens but, they managed to make it work without too much trouble. Despite this minor inconvenience, the condo’s other attributes, like its cleanliness, location, amenities and the well-equipped kitchen, helped balance out the experience. We enjoyed our stay! Thanks from Louisiana for providing us a great space to create memories of our family vacation!

Great rental in beautiful, convenient location

Wonderful week long stay in unit 605. It was a convenient Uber from Destin airport and everything we needed was already in the unit or a short walk away. We had groceries delivered and there were several good restaurants within walking distance along the beach. (Stewbys off the beach is delicious). The unit was excellent. Clean and with much nicer towels and furnishings than most vacation rentals. The balcony has a view over one of the pools as well as a beautiful view of the gulf and beach. The kitchen has good knives and enough cookware for us to prepare several of our meals there. Check-in was super easy (key code entry) and when I texted the local staff at checkout I received a prompt and friendly response. The Destin West property has multiple pool options (3 different temp levels) plus our kids loved the lazy river. Overall a great rental. The ease of this location and rental made us think we will try to return in the future.

Perfect Beach location

We were very excited about our unit right on the beach. We drove down 14 hours from Illinois. Along the way, my husband became very ill. We arrived a couple of hours early and I went to the local Publix to get meds and Sprite. We waited in parking garage until 4. As we were unloading our vehicle, one of the cleaners approached us and told us that the unit was not ready. I told her it was crucial we get in the unit as my husband was very ill. She told me the beds weren't made and the floors not cleaned. I told her my husband needed to get into the air conditioning and lay down. We were allowed to come in, where my husband laid on the couch and they cleaned around him. Once they finished in the bedroom, my husband moved into there. I do realize it had been a busy holiday weekend and we had unusual circumstances that we needed in the unit right at 4. We really enjoyed the location of the unit, we watched the sun come up every morning and enjoyed breakfast out on the balcony. We loved the fact that 2 beach chairs and umbrella was included, which we utilized daily. The pool right on the property was superb on the hot sunny afternoons. We are considering coming back for the New Years and highly recommend this unit.
