Great place, Great views, can't wait to go back!!!

We have stayed at other places before and the photos when booking look great, until you walk through the door! Not this place tho…what a wonderful surprise to find the place clean, smelled clean and the views we had were the absolute BEST!!! The text messages leading up to arrival, at arrival, throughout the stay and departure day truly made us feel welcomed and important!!! The grounds, pool area and beach were always cleaned! The staff we met were always very friendly! The complementary beach lounge chairs were a bonus too! We would LOVE to come back here someday! THANK YOU FOR EXCEEDING OUR EXPECTATIONS!!

Gulf side 402 was a beautiful condo and perfect for our family vacation. We loved having coffee and eating breakfast on the balcony with the stunning beach views. The condo has everything you needed and we really loved the big washer and dryer in the unit. We will definitely be back.

First time visitors

Fantastic views in this clean oceanfront condo. We walked to the pier area for restaurants. Publix about a mile away. Destin village very easy drive. The management was very quick to replace our Kurig that was bad. Had a wonderful time.

Awesome Beach View

Condo is well updated and very spacious and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Plenty of towels were supplied, which is not always the case. The property was well kept and had plenty of pools, just wish more of them were heated. Having the beach chair service included was an added bonus and the beach in front of the condo is a private beach for the guests only. Really nice !

Views can't be beat!

We had an amazing stay in unit 402! The views from the balcony cannot be beat! We have stayed at Destin West multiple times and this was by far our favorite view! There was ample space for our family of 4 and loved having daily beach chairs set up every day for us! The unit had everything we needed as well. Plenty of towels/linens, dishes, etc. Coastal Vibes was also very responsive anytime we had a question about our stay! We highly recommend booking this unit!

A chance to get away

Nice location for an opportunity to get away to the beach. The vacation was relaxing and the resort pools and hot tubs were invigorating. Our stay was not without issues: the master bathroom light would not work and the door lock failed part way through the trip. Coastal Vibe responded very well and the maintenance man was prompt, friendly, and helpful with our needs and questions. In time of need prompt response was a welcome experience.

My husband and I grew up on Okaloosa Island and love coming back and staying at Destin West. This unit is perfect- ocean/beach front views, great wrap around balcony to see the pool/hot-tub, and an easy walk over the sky bridge to the other resort style amenities. Also walking distance to night life and restaurants at The Boardwalk, along with the beachside bar next door at The Island Resort. The management group was very responsive and provided clear directions and extra information about the area. Would definitely stay in this unit again!

Best balcony on Fort Walton Beach

We loved our time spent in this unit. The balcony alone made for an incredible morning coffee environment. Unit is in within walking distance of so much we rarely needed to drive. The beach is one of the cleanest we have been on. Wonderful vacation unit that I would highly recommend.
