Destin West Villa 301, oceanview, wraparound balcony, lazy river, 6 pools, beach

What I liked: The property was easy to find, the condo was really clean, with cold AC and great water pressure. It's also within walking distance of 4 different restaurants, and if you want to drive somewhere else, it's not really that far, just a lot of heavy traffic to deal with, especially in the afternoon hours. This is a great family-friendly spot with multiple pools and easy beach access. What I feel others should know: I'm not gonna say I didn't like anything, as it was just my wife and I, but it could have been a little aggravating had we taken another couple with us. This condo is not a one-bedroom; everything is open, so privacy is not gonna happen, even in the bathroom. The ocean view isn't really an ocean view. You can see the water, but just a little bit through the palm trees. Unfortunately, a large trash container is parked right outside on the adjacent property, but fortunately, it didn't have a smell. The rock waterfall picture is misleading because it is no longer there. Also, the patio door doesn't close all the way, so you can't lock it, not that you have to worry about anyone coming in that way. We did share this information, so hopefully they'll get that fixed soon. Other than that, we had a great time, and for the price, it was definitely worth every penny. One last thing to mention, Victoria, with the reservation staff, was fantastic and very easy to communicate with through text messaging.

This was supposed to be a one bedroom condo. It’s not. It’s simply got a wall between the bed and the super tiny living room; it’s all open. The view was bad. We could barely see a sliver of beach, but we did get a great view of a couple large dumpsters outside the unit.

The advertising for this property is completely misleading. From this particular room, you’ll NOT have an ocean view, unless a square inch is enough to satisfy your beach view longing. Also, there are photos of the splash pad, which is one of the reasons I booked this room having two small children, but the splash pad was recently removed. The light fixture in the shower wasn’t correctly installed and fell and hit my mom in the head while she was in the shower. We called for a towel exchange but had to call twice before we ever got clean towels. The beds were terribly uncomfortable and you can hear every little sound anywhere around you. The ONLY thing I can say is the place was relatively clean upon arrival. You check in across the busy highway from where you stay, so that was a nuisance with no traffic lights. After checking in, we used the sky bridge to walk back and forth. Luggage carts are on the first floor only, yet we were told they’d be by the elevators when we parked. We carried all of our luggage in only the find the luggage carts a couple of days later. Pools were supposed to open at 9:00 AM, but the one day my kids wanted to play at the pools, we couldn’t get in until after 9:45. The parking garage connects to the building at each level, which did make coming and going nice. I won’t go back and wouldn’t recommend it.

Great place to stay had every thing we need loved the wraparound balcony

I loved how comfortable the bed and especially the pillows were! It's the little things that make it wonderful. Also loved the patio that curved over the pool! Wish i could have been able to afford to stay 1 more night. 1 night is not enough. I suggest to everyone 2 nights minimum to enjoy the beach and the pools.

It was more like a hotel room. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't what I expected. It was nice being on the third floor with the garage and bridge entrance. Also closer to the beach. The kitchen was nothing fancy but had everything that a kitchen needed. The bathroom had shutters that open and closed. I had Grandkids with me , 1 boy - 2 girls so they were constantly peeking on the others in the bathroom. That room is more for couples. No privacy.

Loved our visit besides the bed

Everything was very clean and well cared for. Plenty of restaurants and stores near by. Multiple pools was nice. On the beach was amazing.

Wasn’t clean, things were broken(light/fan) in living room, pull out sofa was worn out and uncomfortable, trash behind bed, and other issues! We had to ck out at 1am and find another place and the property manager was no help at all! She said there were no available units so I had to drive an hr to Pensacola and pay double for hotel room. The guy I messaged about my issues though issued me a refund promptly and was very apologetic so I appreciated that. I understand they cannot check behind everyone nor control such a huge complex and nasty people staying along with housekeeping not doing their job. Was just a big fiasco that I hope the owner will fix before others stay at that Villa.

This was a great place to stay and have a short getaway.

The over all area was good! The condo ??!!! The bed is EXTREMELY HARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE, as well as the couch! There is no beach or water view at all! Parts of the frig on the left side had mildew, the right side just nasty in general from sink, and splashes of stuff! When you rent your condo out YIUR supposed to make sure things are clean and comfy for others like you would your home. Beach is ver close, so that was a plus, and loved loved loved the lazy River! Next time I’ll prolly get that side instead!

This room is advertised as a queen size bed and sofa sleeper. I am not sure about the sofa, but this was a DOUBLE bed…with a VERY worn out mattress….so the sleeping experience was TERRIBLE. There was a very small TV in the sitting area…that was obviously very old. The sound was out of sync with what we were actually seeing. The unit was not very clean. On the positive side, the size of the unit was just right for 2 people. The A/C worked great! I knew the view of the gulf was very limited…but we did have a nice balcony just above a smaller pool that didn’t have much activity. So that was nice. Check in was very easy…and the associate that helped us was very friendly and helpful.

Perfect for a quick getaway. Perfect for a couple or small family on a quick/extended getaway. Amazing balcony over looking the pool. Quick trip to the beach and quick walk to the lazy river. Will definitely be booking again! Thank you!
