Relaxing private condo

This condo was lovely. Probably one of the nicest ones we have ever stayed in. The privacy and covered hot tub is the icing on the cake. We will return in the future.

Amazing

We had the most relaxing time. Loved the place. Got to see dolphins from the hot tub every morning. Great time to go as well. Season is over. The town isn't crowded at all! Beautiful beaches and the view of the bay from bedroom window was beautiful.

Family Vacation

Beautiful condo, perfect location with a quiet view, and so many memories made. 3 kids spent sooooo much time swimming in the heated pools that our youngest went from never putting his head under to swimming underwater by the end of the trip. Loved being able to walk over the skywalk to the beach side. Loved the sea lion and dolphin shows at the nearby Gulfarium. Looking forward to a return trip!

Great stay over New Year's

We had a great time at the unit, which was huge and just fantastic. We loved the hot tub and the amenities, which we got good use out of, even though it is winter. We were really pleased with the location, and it was just beautiful being on the water, a short walk across from the ocean, and close to my wife's family in Fort Walton.

Family Christmas Vacay

The property was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the view of the Gulf. We saw dolphins swimming by a few days out of our stay. Sam the squirrel stopped by the last couple of days, and Tom the cat decided to pull guard for us during our last night We will definitely return to this property, perhaps during spring break or summer vacation.

We had such a great time! This was our second time staying in Heron L02 and it won't be our last. The place was very nice and clean with lots of room. We had 8 people staying in our condo and we had plenty of room. Can't wait until we go back next year!

Amazing Condo Great Trip

We loved this condo! It was clean, spacious, plenty of room for our family or 6, and you can not beat the view of the bay from the bedroom window and the balcony! The hot tub was also a huge bonus! We would not want to stay anywhere else for any future trips to Destin!

Last minute Getaway

Absolute adorable condo!!! Hot tub is a great bonus(but was a lil too hot out to use during our time there) Really enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back!!! Enjoyed the lazy River very much , only went twice to the beach because of the long walk but was very grateful for the wagon that the condo supplied to haul our chair and cooler !! Great Place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The perfect winter getaway

We love coming to Okaloosa island for the winter and Destin West L02 is the perfect location. The condo is spaceous, clean and kitchen is well equipped. The view is grand and we love having our coffee on the lanai so we can watch the dolphins in the morning. If you have any issues CoastalVibe is great to work with. If you can't relax here, you can't relax. One of our favorite things about the property is it's location to everything we want and every year we find something new to explore.

Wonderful condo

The condo is just wonderful! My four kids love staying there. The view is gorgeous, the hot tub is great, and it's convenient to lots of restaurants and the Gulfarium. We had a minor maintenance issue and the Coastal Vibe team immediately answered our text and got it resolved quickly. We will stay again!

Beautiful Condo!

Check in was easy. They even messaged us to say our unit was ready early! The condo is gorgeous. The views of the bay are beautiful. Walking next door to grab dinner and drinks was amazing. The pools are so fun and you will love coming back to your condo to your own hot tub! We loved every minute.

Family Getaway

This was our 2nd stay at this resort. We wanted to have this condo last year but was booked. We booked early this year and got it. The view is the best of the bay and the most amazing sunsets. We had 6 people in our group young kids to seniors. We all enjoyed it! There was everything we needed in the condo. Very clean, comfortable beds, and loved the hot tub in the evenings. Great communication between the host. We would love to stay again!

Great place to stay with lots of room for our two families, 4 adults and 3 kids. We were impressed by the amout of space. The balcony with hottub had a nice view of the bay and the beach was a 5 minute drive. Close to all of the shops and restaurants also. The condo was stocked with everything we needed including a pack-n-play for our little one. The place was very clean and overall a great place. We will stay there again if we come back to the area.

Fantastic week!

We have always had good experience with Coastal Vibe rentals. We have used them multiple times. The Destin West resort has everything my husband and I enjoy: on-site fishing, beach, nice pools, great views. Working with the company pre and post vacations is easy. They are super responsive to any question.
