Great stay for family of 5

Clean, well-stocked condo with a fabulous view. We were comfortable here and had a nice time in the area.The location is super convenient to shopping, activities and restaurants. The hotel pools were clean and well maintained, which we love. The beach was clean and the free chairs and umbrella were awesome. One thing I will mention, (and it's not a huge deal but it kind of snuck up on us...lol) make sure when you pick up supplies to get a couple rolls of toilet paper and also paper towels. I know it does state to do so in the check in info. I understand your fear that people might take home your extra rolls if you supply them but, I personally would have appreciated an extra roll of tp instead of the welcome soda. Those sodas must cost more than toilet paper. That being said, my husband definitely drank them! Overall, we had a great time and recommend this property.

Thanksginving beach vacation

We booked Destin West Gulfside 603 for Thanksgiving week and were not disappointed. The Condo was as described, clean and large enough for our two teenagers and ourselves to coexist on cooler, non- beach days! The kitchen is well stocked. The view from the balcony is amazing! Checkout the beautiful sunsets. Frank, our contact was very helpful throughout the whole process. He even went over and above to help us locate some items we had left behind. Overall great experience. We would definitely book again.

5 stars across the board! One of our very best vacations and we will be returning. The location is perfect and you couldn’t ask for a nicer condo. We were able to cook in the condo, the bed was super comfy, loved the big couch and the phone chargers being provided was really appreciated!!

Home Away from Home

We love visiting this resort and have been coming here for a long time. Frank is one of our favorite hosts. He keeps the units well maintained and stocked. It really is appreciated that this unit includes beach set-up and beach towels, ample cookware, comfortable furnishings and spectacular views. We met others at the beach that rented from Beach Time Vacations as well, and everyone was complimentary of the level of customer service from Frank and Crystal. Thank you!

Fantastic Experience

This is our third time at Destin West and this unit has by far been our favorite. The views are absolutely amazing and being on the 6th floor is definitely worth it! Everything you need is in the kitchen but the drip coffee pot isn’t great and needs replaced. It also has a K-Cup machine which works better. It is a huge benefit to have the beach service with the chairs and umbrella. The property has made improvements which were needed since we were there last. This unit has been updated very nicely and is very clean. Thank you for sharing with us and we will definitely be back!!

Family summer beach trip

Our stay in this condo was wonderful, it is the perfect location for everything! We enjoyed making meals and the beautiful views of the ocean from the balcony. The kids loved the pools, everything was a short walk away. The sky bridge to the lazy River was so convenient. This location was exactly how it is pictured. It is clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The included beach service is such a plus- we were able to save space in the car and not pack our umbrella! Several restaurants are close enough to walk. Publix is super close for groceries. Lastly, thank you Frank for all of your help. He was quick to answer all my questions and made our vacation a trip we will always remember!

About the host

Hosted by Beach Time Vacations LLC

Host profile image
I purchased this condo (#603) as of April 2013. This was my first of three condos in the Destin West Resort. My other units are #411 and #605. I have made many improvements and changes to this condo through the years. I want to offer my guests a nicely decorated and comfortable rental for their stay at Destin West Resort. I encourage you to rent with me and welcome you into my condo. I find the location to be superb and the view is spectacular.

Why they chose this property

The Destin West Beach and Bay Resort is a premiere choice. Being on Okaloosa Island, it is a much better location than the nearby Destin area. You get access to the same beach and amenities of the surrounding area, but without the huge crowds on the streets and on the beach. This location puts you between the cities of Destin and Ft Walton Beach. You have access to all the same activities, restaurants, and beaches.

My unit #603 provides the best and most unique view. All buildings on Okaloosa Island are max 6 stories in height. Unit 603 is a top corner unit that is closest 1 bedroom to the beach. With the westward facing balcony, the views of the ocean, beach, pier, pool, city, and sunsets is all spectacularly laid out in front you.

At night the view of the ocean is lost into darkness at other locations. However, The Island Hotel next door casts spot lights towards the ocean. This illuminates the water and beach which provides a view even at night. It is beautiful and relaxing.
