Great location and complex for families with children. Beach access was convenient and the beach is beautiful with a lot of nearby restaurants and activities. The lazy river, the multiple pools and whirlpools were a wonderful feature for adults and children
My mom and my two kids enjoyed staying here over spring break. The location is perfect. Room was clean and questions were answered promptly when reaching out.
We had a great stay. The apartment worked well for us and the pools and access to the beach were awesome.There are a few things that need fixing and upgraded, but overall we had a wonderful time.
Easy to check in, clean and enjoyed our stay in this unit.

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely time at Destin West. The resort is great for families. This condo was clean and had plenty of room for our family of four. I thought it was bigger than it looked in the photos. And the view was just as good if not better. The beach chairs and wagon were a nice touch. It had everything we needed.

Great place. We loved our stay. We liked the new furniture and were appreciative of when the staff replaced the old beach wagon. Thanks!
We had a great time, very comfortable condo great location you get off the elevator and there is the condo in front of you, which was ideal for 5 senior women, the only thing that would make it better would be a new mattress for the bottom bunk bed.
We stayed the week of Christmas. The pool was heated and had hot tubs as well. Overall a great time. The room was good. Plenty of wagons and extras if you forget sand toys/necessities for the beach.
Stay was overall very good! I wish it would have been a little closer to the beach, but the walk wasn’t awful! We rented a boat one day and it was super convenient having the bay and dock so close to the condo! But the lazy River was an overall HIT! We loved it and spent a lot of our time there, very neat area!
We had a great time and there was something for everyone on the property. My niece and daughters had the best time with the sand castle toys that came in the condo and the wagons were super handy as well. Great experience
We enjoyed our stay here. Property was amazing and the kids loved the lazy river. Beach was a walk but not terrible. Great restaurants nearby. Can’t wait to come back!
Family had a great time at the pools and beach which were right there. Great location to visit so many beaches and do l the water activities. Place was clean and spacious, owner was communicative during the stay when needed.

We’ve been coming to Fort Walton for the last 7 years and we love staying at Destin West!
Destin West is perfect for families, we enjoy the lazy river on the bay side and the beach and pools which are located just across the walk way. There’s no other place we’d rather stay, it always is our home away from home.
This was the perfect place for a family to stay! The beach was a small walk that was doable with a beach wagon which was provided. The pools were clean and the property was well taken care of. Would highly recommend this place to stay
We had a great time. Perfect place for a group of people. We were there for softball Nationals & our team loved the pool & Lazy River. Will definitely come back.

This is an amazing property that we would definitely stay at again. The views of the bay from the balcony are incredible and it is an easy walk over to the beach. We made the walk with 3 kids and a cart full of beach gear and had no issues. Local restaurants are great and you can walk to several.
