Oceanfront Westwinds 4784 in Destin: 2BR, 2BA condo, sleeps 8, great amenities!

We spent 7 nights at the Westwinds for spring break with our three kids - ages 13, 11 and 9. There was more than enough space for the five of us in the condo. The pictures make it look smaller than what it is in person. Beds were comfortable, pillows were nice and soft and there were extra blankets and pillows in the bedroom closets. The master bathroom and bedroom were quite large and each room had a good size tv. The balcony has two Adirondack chairs and a small side table. Unable to see the sunrise or sunset directly from the balcony but a quick walk to the beach gives you an unbelievable view. We saw dolphins from the balcony several days we were there - they came pretty close to shore. One family was kayaking right next to them one morning. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of utensils and tools to cook. They had a nice coffee pot that could do ground coffee or keurig pods. The washer and dryer was in the condo which was convenient. They didn’t supply laundry detergent but we brought some detergent sheets that worked well to be able to wash our beach towels. They supplied bath towels but we had to bring our own beach towels. They had three beach chairs as well as plenty of sand toys and boogie boards to use. We did rent chairs and an umbrella from the beach vendor for about 60/day. The Village of Baytowne Wharf is across the street and is worth going to for shopping and food! Overall we had no complaints and loved the Sandestin area and will definitely be back!

The view was great, as well as location. Very clean. Would definitely use again.

YOU SHOULD TELL PEOPLE THEY CANT CHECK IN BEFORE 4PM HARD WHEN DRIVING FROM AWAY THEN BOLOGNA IF YOU CHECK OUT AFTER 10am 200.00 LATE CHARGE. CHANGE YOUR PILLOW SHEETS!

We’ve stayed at Westwinds multiple times and this unit got the job done. It has great beds and average furniture. It’s very understocked compared to other units we’ve been. We had no major issues and always enjoy the fall there. I would probably rent one of the others before selecting this one again.

The condo was great! Super clean and up to date! When we come back we’ll definitely try to stay there again!

This was a great vacation. The wife and kids could walk to beach, the pool was right down stars, and several golf courses were less than 10 min away. Shopping and restaurants were also less than 10 min away, you really just can’t beat the convenience of this trip.

The property was okay. The refrigerator did not have an ice maker. We were going to rent the chair and umbrella on the beach. Since we went through VRBO , they wanted to charge 80.00 a day. If we had gone through Sandestin the fee would have only been 50.00 a day. Not good.

Beautiful location, great beach accommodations, no crowds at Westwinds, the pool is wonderful and well kept. Balcony is super nice, however 2 uncomfortable chairs. Condo is standard layout and could be very nice. Great washer and dryer. Mattresses are very poor and sheets fall off as soon as you lay down. Annoying issues like coffee pot doesn't work, plates don't fit in the cupboard, so door stands open, various light switches that don't work, electric plugs punch in when you plug and unplug, no lights in the showers, each bath allowed one hand towel, (however multiple bath towels were provided) only two 12x18 drawers in guest BR, kitchen utensils tossed in drawers, duck tape used to hold in place. Dishwasher had orange plastic sticking out from the bottom, tripped a number of times. Nice flooring, however, filthy throughout! Double beds in guest BR yes, but can't open closet doors without moving beds, room designed for 2 single beds. Some of these items seem small however tacky, we are in the real estate business and attempted to offer some suggestions to local rep which were not well received.

It’s a bit of a mixed review. When we first arrived I was disappointed to find the property’s cleanliness less than desirable. We spent about an hour cleaning/wiping things down before unpacking. The other opportunity for this property is getting new beds as the king bed and two other beds were uncomfortable. We are used to memory foam mattresses and these were innerspring. You feel every move your bedmate makes. The property knocked it out of the park with esthetics, proximity to property amenities, and having beach chairs as well as an umbrella. The primary bedroom en suite bath is a great size. Overall, I would book this property again but would likely bring a memory foam topper for the bed.

The property was great. The online pictures and description were accurate. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.
