    Great location to walk to the beach. 15 minutes drive to restaurants and stores. Corner apartment was nice. We enjoyed the deck.

    We had 4 adults & 5 children 12,9,7,8,4 and there was plenty of space for all of us! View was great we could look out our balcony & see everything! Communication with owners was great! Only down side I have, we all had was that the beds were not good at all. They were all the foam type mattresses and way too soft for any of our liking. Pillows were awful as well. Couches were not comfortable at all either. However, even with that all said our overall experience was fantastic! You take the good with the bad! I highly recommend spending the July 4th holiday at the beach, the fireworks were amazing!! As for dinners go early, we didn't have to wait long at all even with 9 of us! Thank you for a great week!

    Very nice and comfortable condo. The master bed is a little high to get into if you are a shorter person or have any physical challenges (like my recently broken wrist), but on the plus side, has adjustable bases.We've stayed at this resort in the bay side a few times and like the water features on this side.Would definitely stay here again.

    Property was clean and laid back. We enjoyed the lazy river, and fishing from the dock in the marina. Walk to the beach on the sky bridge wasn’t bad. Definitely recommend renting chairs/umbrella for the beach to be set up for you each morning. Short walk to the pier on the beach. Overall great location!

    This unit was perfect for our stay. Very clean with comfy beds and everything you need. The kitchen was well stocked and it was great to have beach gear available. The views from the wraparound balcony were amazing and plenty of space for all to gather in the living room. Big tvs kept the teens happy for games while mom enjoyed the big closet space! Great service from the Coastal Vibe team.

    We had a great week in this unit. Plenty of space for mom, dad, kids and grandparents. Very well stocked unit. Just bring your clothes and your swimsuit and you’re all set! Many dining options within close proximity. Beach was a short walk across the pedestrian bridge. It was chilly at times, but the pools were great (lazy river is not heated). We would stay again!

    Overall, everything was great! Condo and complex were very clean and well maintained. Worst complaint I have is that the kids can't throw a ball or any object in the pool or on the pool deck and the Destin West managers make sure of that. Let kids be kids.
