This place was excellent. clean. The room was huge. Beautiful view of the bay. I stayed in room 501 in the Heron. I would highly recommend this place. The only downfall was that we went in December/January and it was a little cold. We had one great 70's day on the beach though. Great place to stay. In the summer... More

My family and I decided to travel to the Ft. Walton/Destin area for Thanksgiving. It is important to note that we stayed in PH02. I cannot speak for the other units, just PH02 in the Heron Building. First the PROS - Beautiful view of the bay Nice pool areas (thankful they were heated) Nice hot tubs (both private and public)... More

We stayed here on Thanksgiving week in 2011. We stayed in the Heron building (bayside) in PH02. The unit was very spacious and beautiful. The panoramic views were great to wake up to every day and everything was clean. My only complaint would be that the beds were uncomfortable. Overall, I was highly impressed by the cleanliness and beauty of... More

This condo was more than we expected. Very clean Great view, We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed every min. Saved a lot of money by eating in. Went to a seafood market and spent 100.00 on seafood and had our own boil. and several other meals. I recommend eating at Deweys in Destin. Awesome food and great service. my only... More

We arrived at Destin West on 9-3-11 right at the same time as the tropical storm. It was unit 502 facing the ocean on the gulf side. We had a beautiful view from the main seating area and the master bedroom with a big wrap around patio. We loved it! The owner had thought of everything. It was so homey,... More

centralized condo with goodview....we were there during the tropical storm lee, and for the major time of our stay you could not get in the water........and then at times the beach was closed due to the high waves....this condo offered beach service (some do, some don't), but we were not able to utilize this, again due to the weather.............their customer...

Spent a recent 3 day weekend at Destin West, a large complex extending from the Gulf to the bay with a pedestrian bridge across US-98. The place is just too big and too much walking. The villas have poor views of the gulf and bay, very noisy from the adjacent complex on the balcony side; barking dogs during the night,... More

My husband and I were in a gulfside one bedroom condo for a week. We met our kids and grandkids for a family vacation. Our condo was a nice size for us but we were actually poolside, not gulfside, so we were the gathering place and it tended to get a little crowded. We are accustomed to our two bedroom... More

My five star rating is for the resort itself, not the condo. The Destin West is a great place to stay! The grounds are maintained very well and the lazy river is outstanding. The walk to the beach from the Bay side is quite a haul, though, so if you are looking for easy access to a beach, you will... More
