My husband, 2.5 year old son and I stayed in the condo and both sets of our parents stayed in the RV park. We had a great time. Pretty easy access to the beach and lots of pools to choose from. The condo was clean and very comfortable. We did a Walmart grocery pick up, which is incredibly convenient. Make sure to read the list of what to bring. We would definitely stay here again. Great communication.
We stayed for three days while visiting our niece who is stationed at Hurlburt Air Field. We had a great time relaxing on the patio and hanging by the pools/lazy river. The place was spotless, very clean and nicely decorated. Check-in was a breeze. We wore our pool bands when down at the pool, but no one ever asked to see them. Beds were comfortable and we watched the sun rise from the balcony in the master bedroom and set from the patio off the living room. Very relaxing. Just a helpful hint, they do not provide toilet paper or salt/pepper (which are some of the things you normally don't think you need to bring) so be sure to bring your own.
The property was exactly as listed and perfect for our stay. We got in late the night of arrival but check in was super easy, great instructions for parking.The pool and lazy river were amazing. The ocean water wasn't good when we went so it was nice to have the pool and lazy river for my son to use most of the time. The walk to the ocean is super fast and easy. I suggest going more evening time (5pm and later) otherwise the private beach is completely crowded and covered as other condos are using the area too. That is nothing on the condo itself, just a suggestion when staying! We went in June so crowds were extra high. We booked this place super last minute as we decided to stay at a beach condo for 3 days on our drive back to Oklahoma from Disney World. The condo was well taken care of, had everything we needed and we felt at home on our little stay there. This is a place I will suggest to my clients when booking beach places in the area. Also, I have seen complaints of the pools/laxy river being dirty... we didnt have that issue. The wind blew a lot one day so there would be some stuff from the landscaping around in it, but it wasn't bad and they had it cleaned out by the next morning. Everything was beauitful and well taken care of for us.
We had a wonderful experience staying at this condo. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the living space was cozy and inviting.The location is fantastic. Close to pools, lazy river and beach! Overall, I highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant place to stay. Would definitely stay here again!
Great location! Location was 10 minute walk to beach and pool, hot tub, and lazy River was just steps from condo! I would definitely recommended this location for a young family!
We absolutely loved our stay! We are a family of 5 people and there was more than enough room. This condo offered great furniture and nice bedding for a rental. Everything was clean and worked as it should. The lazy river was awesome for the relaxing! It’s 3 ft all the way around. The sky walk was wonderful to use to get to the private beach area. You can rent the cute blue umbrellas and chairs for easy convenience. We give it 5-stars all the way around!!
It’s 3-rd time we stay in Destin west.it was great.

perfect vacation
We loved the condo itself and the amenities. Perfect get away for a family with young children. I loved that resort was on both sides, ocean and bay, and had a sky bridge to safely cross the (extremely busy) highway. Unit was well equipped and tastefully decorated, owners were great.
Beautiful, pristine unit perfect for a family of four!
Super spacious and beautifully decorated unit worked perfectly for us and our 2 teen/preteen sons. King master BR had a super comfy bed. Lovely view of the bay. The property is well-kept and the lazy river is great. Walk over a building and up a few floors to cross over to the beach. We moved this unit, and it had everything we needed.
Condo was great, the weather didn't comply but it was a fantastic stay nonetheless

WONDERFUL CONDO!
We've rented a fair amount of condos, and this one was the BEST EVER! Neat, clean, well furnished and everything thing we needed. The overall location is so well maintained! During our stay the cable TV was updated. It was nice to have a 'guide' on the remotes. Honestly, have no negative things to say! It's on our "visit again" list.
Thanks again for making our time in at Destin West a wonderful memory!
Destin West #501 Great condo in a well maintained complex with great water features
Glenn and Peggy provided excellent instructions so there was no need to contact them during our stay. We knew exactly what we needed to bring. The condo was immaculate, the master bed so comfortable, and the furniture is great quality. It felt like home. Many other rental properties I've stayed are uncomfortable with a mish mash of cheap furniture. That is not the case here. The furniture is thought out down to table lamps and mirror where you need it. This was a part work & part vacation trip for me and the internet was also high speed. If in the area again, I would most definitely choose a Glenn & Peggy property.

Finished our 9th week long visit to our "Home away from home"
After 9 week long visits, why do you think we already have a 10th week long visit booked for May 2017?
This condo and the owners are superior to most anything you'll find in the area.
In the past I have written long winded reviews and mentioned such things as how well Peg and Glenn treat their renters, how well they keep the unit updated etc.
I found the new "LOG" (Note pad) in the unit when we got there this time and was the first one to use it - I am really looking forward to going back in May and seeing what other's have written . Hopefully there will be many comments for all to share.
Once again, thanks Peg and Glenn for sharing this unit and as usual - looking forward to our next visit.

WE DID NOT THINK IT COULD GET ANY BETTER, BUT IT DID!
This is the 5th year we have stayed at this property and it was nice before, but the improvements that have made since we were here last year are outstanding. The new King Bed, the new night stands (master and Bunk room), the new fridge/freezer , microwave and what appeared to be a new dishwasher were very nice. The new sofa/sleeper and the chair are nice, as well as the upgraded TV’s and the wireless internet. My laptop wireless crapped out the first day we were there, however I was surprised to see the dual band modem and an Ethernet cable available so I could hook up that way. Great foresight by the owners.
The owners were very easy to work with and the entire experience was great. How great was it? We have already booked for a week in this unit in May, 2015.
