We loved the pool and the area . The only complaint would be the master bedroom smelled a bit cigarette smokey . We washed the sheets right away so that was fine . Other then that it was great!
Property and unit were very clean. The grounds and pool were cleaned daily. The workers would start early in the am so everything looked great by 10 am. Our unit overlooked the bay area as well as the pool. Great view and I actually like that we stayed on bay side better than ocean side. There is a walkway that takes you over to the beachside. There were 2 chairs included in our rental which was really nice. You have to reserve them every morning and the line starts early (8 or 9am) . I suggest reserving early and go back with your stuff later.
The unit itself had everything we needed. It was just myself and spouse but 2-3 other adults could've been comfortable as well. Balcony was great and very relaxing. You can walk to serval different restaurants from the condo. Traffic can be tough at times but that is normal for the area.
We had a wonderful stay at Destin West. It was my wife, our 22-month-old daughter, and I, and we all enjoyed our time here immensely. The property is fantastic, offering great amenities that made our stay enjoyable and relaxing.
The lazy rivers and pools were a hit, providing endless fun for our family. The internet worked well, which was a pleasant surprise as we could stay connected without any issues. There was a wide variety of TV channels, which was perfect for winding down in the evenings. We also appreciated the books available for signing and the easy-to-use bracelets for the pool and beach access.
One of the highlights was the complimentary beach service on the gulf side, which included two chairs each day. This added a lot of value and convenience to our beach outings. The location on the bay side in the Pelican building was serene and beautiful, making it a perfect spot for a family vacation.
The only downside was the master bed and pillows, which were not very comfortable. This affected the quality of sleep we got. If I would have taken a neck pillow on the plane this would have helped, cause I could have used it. A lot of it's on me, but the bed wasn't a fit for me unfortunately.
The owners were very communicative and provided us with a lot of helpful recommendations, which enhanced our stay.
Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend Destin West for a family vacation.
Thank you for the memorable stay!
My sister and I came for a two night stay the weekend after the 4th of July. The condo was clean and very bright and cheerful. The description and pics are exactly as posted. The complex was full and a little too loud for us, but it was still fun. It is perfect for families. The lazy river was clean and relaxing. My grandkids would have loved it! The beach is my happy place and I loved having our two beach chairs and umbrella included in our stay. That was a great perk! I recommend having someone go down a little before 9am to get your pick of chairs and then come back with all your stuff later. The skywalk is easy to access and is really nice. There were two pools on the ocean side and the smaller one has half the pool shaded. It was perfect to take a break from the hot sun for a bit and it was close enough to the beach to come and go as you need to. The only complaint I have is the sofa bed. My sister slept in the bedroom. I slept on the sofa bed because I usually wake early, and I liked having access to the balcony early in the morning. The sofa is pretty, but it was really uncomfortable to sleep on and it squeaked loudly every time I moved. It would be nice if they had a memory foam topper to pull out of the closet and put on top of the sofa sleeper at night. That's the only problem I had with the visit. Everything else was very nice. The pillows and linens were very nice. The weather was beautiful. We would definitely book a stay again.
This property was perfect for our long weekend family getaway. The beach service was so convenient. The pools were awesome. The condo is walking distance from many attractions including several restaurants, arcades and mini golf, and is next door to a boat rental service, which was also great for checking out nearby Crab Island and exploring the bay. Highly recommend!
The location was great, the condo was clean, and there were several bonuses inside and out of the property. Would reccomend this location and would stay there again if we are in the area!
Great experience from 1st booking until checkout! The condo was clean, well-equipped, and excellently decorated. Owners were quick to respond to questions.
We will definitely keep this place on our short list of vacation destinations!
Brought the family to Destin West for the first time. Beach was nice - but the pool and lazy River was relaxing. Great view of bay from unit - great location on island- easy walk to restaurants from condo - quiet and just relaxing resort. Will plan to go back again.

Kids loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay at Destin West. The kids loved the bunk beds with their own TV, the fish pillows, and the lazy river. My husband and I loved the view from the balcony and easy access to the beach. It was nice having beach service with our chairs ready and waiting for us each day of our stay. The condo was well furnished, and we had everything we needed. Thanks so much for a great trip!!
Everything was how I needed it to be. Great view of pool, lazy river, and gulf! Easy beach access. The atmosphere of being outside on the balcony was superb. Felt as though I lived there. We did not want to leave. Definitely will book again. Hopefully soon!
We stayed in Pelican 504 the week of July 11th and had a great time! I stayed with just me and my two daughters and the condo worked out perfect. The location was great with a handful of places to eat and shops within walking distance. The beach service was a lifesaver and so easy to use! My girls LOVED the lazy river! It’s a great place for families to stay. There may be a few minor things in the condo that could use some updating, but nothing that would stop us from staying here again! And the owners were great at communicating and the check in was a breeze!

Beach vacation
I was very impressed with this unit. The walk to the beach did not bother my family (which included a 5 yo). Enjoyed the amenities of the gym! The only negative comment I have would be the lack of toilet paper. When we arrived there was about 1/2 a roll in each bathroom and no refills. Next time I will bring a roll of my own. I would gladly rebook this unit.

Great Last Vacay of TWO!
We had a great experience! My husband and I went on our last vacation of two and had a great time. The place was nice and the pictures look just like the room. With me being preggo I did have a thing about smell and the room smelled funny, but that could have been just me. Our room/balcony was smoke free however, our neighbors smoked on their balcony and I believe the building was a smoking building. That wasn't the nicest, but other than that I have no complaints. The bed was amazing! The size was perfect! It was a haul to the beach, but the beach side service was awesome! I won't be going back to the beach unless I have that! :) Overall, great stay in our room and the owners were very helpful and good at responding to questions.
