Great Location!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was very clean, easy access, close to a wide variety of attractions, but just far enough outside of Destin to avoid a lot of traffic. We walked across the crossover several times to the beach and dining. The pool was heated in for the winter and was clean as well. The lazy river is drained in the winter, but no problem as it's not heated. All in all it was a great experience.

Destin West was an absolutely awesome location!

We booked this lovely condo for the month of March and loved exploring the area. Gulfarium, Bottoms Up Dolphin Tour, restaurants, grocery, and tennis courts all close by. We did walks everyday on the white sandy beach and the clear turquoise ocean. The lazy river, pools and hot tubs were taken care of exceptionally well. The host was wonderful answering all of our questions and his response was immediate. Great experience! Thank you Ken and Lisa for having us.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Wayne Bowling

Host profile image
Twelve year Marine Corps Veteran working in the Logistics Industry. Married with 4 kids, seven grandchildren and two grandchildren on the way. Family is everything and after vacationing for the last ten years in Destin we took the plunge and bought this condo.

Why they chose this property

We vacation at several Destin Resorts but we always come back to Destin West. The lazy river is awesome. The pool area is self-contained so you can keep an eye on your kids and for the beach people, beach access is a short walk away. Love night walks on the bayside walking path.

What makes this property unique

Best lazy river on the Gulf! Okaloosa Island is away from the crowd but you are a short ride away from all the amenities, shopping and dining. Love the morning beach walks where you likely will see Dolphins gliding along the beach.
