We have stayed in several condos along Destin, and this was by far our favorite! Communication was fast and on point, the location and beach were perfect! We’ve already talked about booking this specific condo again for next year!!!

Nice Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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: A simple but well decorated rental for a get-a-way at Sandestin. Unit was clean, beds comfortable and everything worked as it should. The only item that could have been updated was a very old coffee maker. That said, a Keurig is present (naturally you provide your own coffee) so you're still in business. View from balcony was pleasant and there were a few beach chairs and children toys in washer/dryer closet as well. A nice unit and made for an enjoyable stay. Would certainly stay here again.

Great Condo

The condo was very nice. Modern feel / look very well kept and clean. Plenty of space. Pool area was nice and heated. Westwinds is one of the nicer “Beachfront” buildings. Only issue I had was that I was given wrong or expired codes for parking gate and entrance to the building (by the rental management company) took 3 phone calls to get the correct codes. Other than that would definitely book there again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a clean place , great location but oven was broken .. we have a lot of food and desserts to bake but we have to go to another condo to use .. it was embarrassing. Would I come back no because even the maintenance guys couldn’t fix it because it was digital . Our master bedroom light switch didn’t even work or they didn’t put battery in the light switch . So imaging for 3 days without lights and a broken oven .. something should be compensated for our 3 nights stay .. only thing we like was the location and this place was clean

Spring Break ‘19

We have been coming to Destin and staying at Westwinds for many years. We love Sandestin Resort! Booked our trip last minute this year. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked into “Vacation Joy” to discover that the unit had been updated with fresh new paint colors, flooring and furniture. The updates were nicely done! Condo was great and had all that we needed for our party of 4 (2 adults and teenage boys). This year, we took advantage of the outside grills and grilled out 3 nights. There is a great seafood market off 98 in Santa Rosa Beach called Shrimpers Seafood Market. My only complaints about the condo are the rug in the living room sheds but maybe because it’s new and there is a screw hanging down from the top of the inside shower handle in the master bath. You could cut your hand if not careful.

Average

The condo was just okay. We had 5 people so the couch bed had to be used. We got in super late due to flight delays. Upon arrival, we realized there was no water and no pillows or blankets for the couch bed (just a sheet set). We were able to call and get the water turned on within 15 mins so that turned out just fine. We called housekeeping for the bedding but was told we wouldn’t get it until the next day. It ended up being late in the afternoon the next day. The master shower wasn’t very clean…it’s tiled and the grout had mold on it. There is no shelf or ledge or seat, so we had to sit our shampoo, conditioner, soup, and razor on the ground. That also made it difficult to shave. The had the bare basics but no spices at all (all my other stays at other places have had them) including salt/pepper. The location was nice. A very low key place. The view from the condo was great. The pool and beach access was great. Overall the stay was just average. I probably wouldn’t book that one again, but I also would not discourage someone else from booking it because it wasn’t bad.

Great Location, great place for a getaway.

Beautiful location steps from the beach. Unit had everything we needed. Pool area was clean and nice and had a great little spot for a hot lunch or cold drink. A few hundred yards down the beach was a great little restaurant for lunch or dinner. Beach and ocean were wonderful, white sand with turquoise water. Would definitely go back. Only issue was with check-in. Door code was wrong in our welcome email which caused a little headache but once we figured that out, it was smooth sailing.
