Perfect location for walking to the beach, restaurants and shops. Beautiful views. The beach wagon w/chairs and umbrella and the washer/dryer in the unit made our stay so much more enjoyable!!

Perfect Getaway!!
This was a perfect getaway for me and my wife. The location is great with so much to do in the surrounding area. The condo was very clean and well stocked. We will definitely book again!!!
We had a great stay at Destin West! Between the lazy river, pools, and beach there was always something to do. Close proximity to local restaurants, shops, Publix meant you didn’t have to travel far once you arrive. Would recommend!

We had a great stay. The condo was very nice, everything you may need is there. The lazy river pool was a close walk and very fun. The beach wasn't too far and was beautiful. We would definitely come back for another stay!
Amazing views, pools heated but not lazy river. Great complex for families.

Very Nice - 3rd visit
Great room and facility. There were plenty of dishes, bedding and paper products for the 2 of us.
We really like the lazy river. The grassy area surrounding the lazy river is well taken care of also.
The beach access is also nice, although we did not visit the beach this time.

Fall Break
Very clean, very easy to access. When we first arrived, I had no idea there were 2 balconies and we couldn't find the beach stuff. So I called to ask about our wagon, the office was super helpful and let me know about the 2nd balcony ;) We also had an issue with our kitchen faucet, it randomly started shooting water out of the base, they were super quick and efficient to look at it and replaced it. We couldn't have been happier with our stay and our amenities.

Destin West -Pelican 401
Coastal Vibes provided great accommodations in our unit. We had everything we needed. They even stopped by with new hangers, glass serving bowls & new scissors. Great view of sunsets from the Master suite balcony. Easy access to our unit. I enjoyed the complimentary soaps and paper towels. Plenty of bath towels too! We didn't have to run out right away. We were able to rest after the long drive. The heated pool and hot tub s are well kept. I walked across the bridge every day to hit beach! We already booked for another stay. Can't wait
This is always a special place for our family to spend vacation time. The location is perfect—offering the best of both worlds with easy access to both the beach and the bay area. We love the variety, from relaxing by the water to enjoying the pools and lazy river.
Our condo has everything we need to feel right at home for the week. It's well-equipped, comfortable, and makes our stay stress-free and enjoyable. We look forward to coming back year after year!
Pelican 401 was just as advertised. There was plenty of space, sleeping options, and is the corner unit so it has 2 balconies (one in front and one in back).

Loved This Place
This was our third stay at Destin West Beach & Bay resort. Once again, loved our stay. First stay at this condo and it was very clean & comfortable. Enjoyed the view of the lazy river & the bay. The entire resort is well maintained. Parking is always easy. Booking thru Coastal Vibes Vacations is very easy and you have no worries about them taking care of you.
We love this place and Heron L08 did not disappoint. It has everything you need, including a beach wagon and chairs! We truly love staying on the bay side in this tropical paradise. I was most impressed with the timely correspondence from the owner, Jennifer. She was quick to take care of any needs. We will be back!
This was our second time staying at Destin West and our first in this particular unit. The location was perfect both for pools and the beach and getting out and about around the area. Beds were comfortable, the unit was clean, and we had everything we needed. The wagon and chairs were super helpful. Parking was easy and close. Despite the resort being full, noise was never an issue from the pool/lazy river. The one time we had trouble finding something in the unit, we immediately received a response even after hours! This is truly our favorite place to go, and we’re already planning our next stay. Thanks so much for the perfect vacation home!
Location was great. View from end condo was spectacular overlooking lazy river & bay. Close to many restaurants & activities. Bridge over Highway to the gulf beach was easy & safe. Sufficient parking available. Communication with management company was easy & they responded quickly to our needs. We will rent again in the future.
