First impressions was the unit was bigger than expected and very clean. The location was great with many things within walking distance. The unit had a wagon with beach chairs that were very convenient and useful. We did have difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi but property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Our family of six stayed in this unit and we were not disappointed. The unit was clean and bright. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook light meals. The pool area was fun and the view was beautiful. Hurricane Ida hit while we were there, but the kids still played in the pools during the rain. We had friends who also stayed on the property and it was nice to all be in the same place but each still have our own condo to retreat to. Jennifer (the manager) was quick to respond to any of our questions or requests. We would stay here again! ##### Adella B.

The property has been updated and is beautiful! Everything was as advertised and the communication with the property manager was very easy anytime we had questions they were quick to respond. Only recommendation would be to add some additional silverware. There were very few and the spoons were all excessively large- like serving spoon size. Everything else was lovely. We love Destin West with all of the amenities and location with ability to walk to the boardwalk. ##### jennifer B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was nicely kept, up to date with nice furnishings. We had our family of 6 (2 of those college students and 2 teens) and have plenty of space and room. The kitchen had everything you need to cook up a meal. Bathrooms were nice. Master bedroom and bath was very nice. Additional bedrooms were great foe the college kids and the younger teens in the bunk room. Pool area and dock were awesome. Our boys loved the option to fish at night off the dock. Close to the beach, close to shopping and restaurants. Elevators were a beating waiting for especially on high volume checkin and checkout dates, however this is expected in a condo property. Would love to visit again! ##### Brandi W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Heather W. 28 Aug 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Falsely Advertised My family and friends recently stayed at Heron 506. I can tell you the description and photos on VRBO and Best Beach Getaways website are VERY MISLEADING. The only thing in the condo that is newish is some of the furniture. Many things did not work like the AC (cold air only came out of bunk room vents), pocket door to bunk room would not close, hot water heater went out for 48 hours, fan in family room didn't work (only light came on). Many things were filthy, floors blackened your feet in about 3 minutes, kitchen and bath cabinets all stained, jacuzzi tub stained and very old, moldy & mushy wall in master bath because shower doors not sealed so water sprays on wall, curtains all were either heavily stained or torn. When I pulled back the comforter on several beds, the sheets did not appear clean, I had to rewash sheets (gross). This place is a hot mess, literally. The fitness center is advertised as "state of the art", it might have been state of the art in 1970. I probably spent more time calling and texting maintenance than I did enjoying my vacation. No one is taking responsibility for the falsely advertised accommodations, Best Beach Getaways will not respond to multiple emails and on the rare occasion someone answers the 888 number, you will get a very rude man named Mike who is of no help. I have already filed a complaint with the FL Attorney General and the FL Better Business Bureau. ##### Heather W.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First of all, let me say that I'd actually consider buying one of these units as a place to come annually and rent it out throughout the season. What a beautiful part of the country! The beaches are pristine, the owner of this unit was such a delight to deal with. There is no check in or check out, just plug in your code and you're in! The lazy river is the icing on the cake. If there's a question on what to do, don't stress, just go float in the lazy river! If I can offer some constructive criticism, which is very minimal, this unit had some remote control issues. There's at least 2 remotes missing, so I'd suggest buying new ones to go with each TV and then labeling them. I'd also recommend having some movies stocked in the unit, as there are DVD players in the house. It would have been nice to go to a selection of movies and pick one to watch. Other than this, I've got nothing negative to say. Destin West is a must visit and a wonderful, stress-free vacation! We will be back! ##### John R. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kelly D. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Be Warned!! The air conditioning in the master bedroom was not working at time of arrival, no air was coming through the vents. I contacted maintenance and a repairman came out but determined that it could not be fixed. We were brought a floor fan and advised to leave the bedroom door open and put the fan in the doorway. We could not enjoy the view because we had to keep the curtains closed in attempt to keep the temperature down. The repairman stated the bedroom was at least 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the condo. The ceiling fan in the living area also did not work, the light would come on but not the fan. We were advised the ceiling fan would have to be replaced but with female family members in and out of the unit this was not acceptable. The experience was made worse because we were under a heat advisory. The hall toilet also leaked into the hallway, I reported it and no one replied. I have requested a partial refund via email and contacted BBG by phone and text message and no one has responded to my request. VRBO contacted Best Beach Getaways July 11th and left a message for someone to reach out to me but I still have not received any communication from them. Beware booking this condo because if there are issues as I experienced you are not dealing with an individual owner, it is a property management company and VRBO cannot help you. The property was not in fully functional condition, we were cheated and now we're being ignored. Do not recommend!! ##### Kelly D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024
