Beachfront Corner Penthouse! Destin West Gulfside 616

The view was amazing on this property! The check in process was a little abnormal. We had to go across the street to get the door code. The property didnt appear to be ready at 4pm according to the front desk. She had to make a phone call to ensure it was cleaned. I found that to be odd but she said check in was between 4 and 6. I contacted the host and had a response within minutes. The Manager came in, didnt acknowledge anyone and began typing on the computer. The door code was generated.. we then go back to the unit and the door code doesnt work. I contacted the host again, the host quickly responded and we had a new door code that worked! Yah! We got in the room..it was nicely furnished plenty of room for all of us. But we shortly noticed after my son sat down that the floors were not clean (his feet were black). Guessing they cleaned with dirty mop water. We just decided to let it go since we drove 15 hours to get there. We made the best of the trip, enjoyed the beautiful pool, hot tub, lazy river, and of course the Beach! Easy walking distance to multiple shops.and restaurants. Good location, and the host was responsive which was appreciated.

Awesome view and great facilities. Check in and out process was so easy!

Great condo and views. Love the balcony. We loved how we could park on level 5 in the deck and essentially walk right to the front door! We were there essentially three nights so it didn't make sense to buy simple things like salt and pepper. Other VRBO's we've been in have had some of these very basic things. (not sure if that's normal or not) The floors and rugs could use a good deep cleaning. The iron and ironing board needs to be replaced.

Overall, the stay was good. The unit needed a bit of attention-the shower had an item from the previous renter, the floors and baseboards needed a deep cleaning, the smoke detector was hanging from the wall, and some of the pillows were missing pillowcases. The overall decor is a bit dated but the bed is comfy and the view is beautiful. Kitchen has new appliances and has everything you need to cook there.

We have stayed at this property for almost 20 years. It never disappoints! We have rented this particular condo before as well. The space and location in the building couldn’t be better for convenience and view!

The location is great. The unit is a little on the older side but the interior decorations are nice. We only stayed for one night but it was exactly what we needed. The bed in the first room knocks against the wall when you move, other than that we had no problems.

We had a great time during our stay at Destin West and the property was as advertised. The kids enjoyed the fitness room, pools and lazy river. We enjoyed being so close to the beach and the amazing views. Will definitely book again!

Destin West is a great location. The 6th floor view is fantastic. My husband and I enjoy watching and listening to the ocean from the balcony while enjoying morning coffee or late night cocktail. I love the beach and will always choose to stay on the Gulfside. My kids enjoy night swiming with their friends in the pools.

We had a good time. Accommodations were nice.

Great condo! We enjoyed our stay!

Our condo was in a great location and with easy beach access. 7 adults and one infant stayed very comfortably. The condo was exactly as described, and all the amenities were great!
