Coastal vibes is the go to host!

When it comes to rental host if you don't go with Coastal Vibes you haven't gone with the best. They go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as if you are in your own place. We always feel like they address any issues we have right away. Even if it is only as simple as a light bulb change

We couldn't have found a better place to stay. The accommodations were more than enough, we were able to sleep 8 of us comfortably. The walking distance to the beach was about as close as we could get without being on the beach itself. We loved the memories we made and enjoyed our time together at the pools. We can't thank Coastal Vibes enough for helping us make those memories. We enjoyed reading fellow vacationers stories and hope to one day return .

Rating of Heron PH - 09

Condo was everything advertised. Actually had more beach equipment than originally said. We had total of 7 adults and was plenty of room and most accommodating. Would certainly stay here again. Couldn't figure tv out and they sent someone over immediately to fix it. Simple fix in programming. Can't say enough about property or staff. Thanks for a great stay.

Luxury View

It was an amazing stay. My aunt is already requesting that we stay again next month. The staff is very nice and attentive. The beds were comfy and home decor was well appointed. We vacationed at the same time as a lot of kids out for fall break. However, we never heard any outdoors noise inside of the unit from the fun being had outside in the pool.

Vacation at home

This was truly a vacation at home. This unit afforded everything needed for everyday living and vacation enjoyment. Once we drove in and parked our car, we did not need to use our car. We had every necessity and luxury needed to make this a perfect week. We enjoyed the laziness of comfortable mornings with our coffee and the magnificent views from the front, rear and rooftop balconies. The Lazy River was used for relaxation while we chose the beach waters for exercise. The sunshine was just the Vitamin "Sea" that we needed! With several options for eating out within walking distance, we never had to rush to prepare food to eat. The owner and rental company take pride in the furnishings of this condo and everything was as expected. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely as we relaxed in the evening. The rooftop provided an excellent view of the holiday fireworks! Although we did not use the two additional bedrooms, they were available if friends or family had been able to join us. The master bedroom with double vanities and walk in shower afforded us all we needed for comfort. There was plenty of seating with two sofas in the living area, and with the beginning of football season, the big screen tv gave a perfect view. This rental company and this unit in particular is highly recommended!

Senior Trip 2024

This unit was perfect for my daughter’s senior trip! We enjoyed the rooftop hot tub, especially to watch the fireworks. There were so many pools for everyone to relax in including the lazy river. The restaurants within walking distance were also a plus. We will definitely be making another trip in the future.

The best company to lease from.

Once again we had the best winter place to lease. Coastal vibes is quick to respond with any of our needs. The first week the Main tv went out and it was replaced the same day. The front door pock was replaced as soon as we had a problem opening the door with our code. Then we were bless with a new hot tub. Thanks again for making our stay a pleasant one.

Majestic Getaway

Heron PH09 is the perfect example of a getaway for relaxation. The location to the amazing interior setup of the unit (master bathroom shower is hands down one of the best showers I have ever used!) is worth staying and never leaving but unfortunately I don't think that is possible haha. The view from the multiple balconies to the rooftop penthouse is the oasis of solitude when waiting beach time without the people. I would recommend Heron PH09 to anyone and I would look into it again myself for the future!

Wonderful views

Everything was great, but the place could have been cleaner. The frying pans need to be upgraded as we couldn’t even fry eggs and had to wash all the dishes and anything we used in advance. The dishwasher also needs to be changed. Zip ties won’t fix the damages. The place also needs 10 mugs if it hosts ten guests etc.

Had a great time

We loved everything about the condo and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The hot tub on the roof was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed it very much. Also, loved having the grill up there...so convenient. We have been to Destin West many times and found PH09 to be on of the best we have ever stayed in. We will be back as soon as we can!!! Thanks for a great stay.

We enjoyed our vacation so much at Destin West. The communication with Coastal Vibes was always very prompt when I had a question and the unit was just what we needed for our family vacation. It had everything we needed and enough room for multiple of us to enjoy. The resort itself was beautiful as well! We can't wait for our next trip!!

Wonderful place

This was our first time staying in the area as my son is in tech school in the air force in fort walton. Our family decided that it would be a great time to visit him. So off we went, my husband and I, our oldest son, his wife, our 2 grandbabies, my middle son, his wife who is expecting their first baby and the air force sons girlfriend. We made great memories that I will cherish. The condo was so wonderful. It was clean, and decorated so lovely. The bed in the master was amazing! Also the shower in the master bath. The booking, check in, directions, instructions, and check out were all hassle free! I would love to go back again someday! Oh and one more thing, if you get a chance to watch the sunset on the penthouse balcony, do it! :)

Beautiful place , great for big family

We loved staying here! The condo had everything you could need ! Would definitely stay here again. Views are beautiful, especially from the rooftop. We did struggle with the temperature in the condo. We could never get all the rooms and living room at the same temperature…this could very well be user error though. We did get a significant amount of rain. It rained so hard that several times rain came in the condo from the front door. We had to use bath towels to stop the flooding. Would suggest putting something under the door to stop the rain from coming in like that. This just added laughter to our vacation though. :) 5 out 5 would recommend staying here!
