David P. from Severna Park, MD Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
The condo has to be one of the best units in the complex for a small family. It had a fantastic view of the Gulf. The living area felt bigger than the pictures portrayed. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean on arrival. We enjoyed the short walk down the beach to numerous restaurants and shops. Oasis has really good coffee that I wish I found earlier in the stay. We would certainly stay here again.

Anthony M. from Jacksonville, IL Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
We really enjoyed our time at Destin West. The unit was very well kept, with everything we needed in the kitchen. We found it nice the kitchen had a blender which allowed us to make some frozen drinks to enjoy by the water. I especially enjoyed the awesome view from the balcony while drinking morning coffee.

A guest from science hill, KY Unknown recommends this vacation rental.
Room was clean! View was great of pool & ocean. Sliding door was difficult to open & shut. Master bedroom didn’t cool as much as the rest of the condo. Maintenance came quickly & tried to fix this. Plug in cover was also missing in the master bedroom & maintenance addressed this. No place to store clothes in 2nd bedroom.
We watched the fireworks from the balcony.
Short walk to the beach.
Although we had a couple issues, it would not keep us from staying here again.
Manager Responded on 8/1/2022
So glad you enjoyed the beach, the pool, the fireworks. Please visit again, Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

A guest from Plaquemine, LA US recommends this vacation rental.
The Destin West condo was very clean and was in the perfect location. Very quick walk to the beach as well as the pool and lazy river! We were very pleased. The kitchen had several items although I do wish it had a set of mixing bowls! We cooked many meals during the week. Thanks again for a fabulous experience.

Wonderful condo with a stunning view! Everything we needed or even could have wanted was available to us. This unit was clean and comfortable and perfect for a quick get away. Great owner to work with. The quick walk to the pier and several restaurants was very convenient. The chairs and umbrella provided were so appreciated.

Paul A. from Rhinelander, WI United States recommends this vacation rental.
I was really happy with my stay at Destin West Gulfside G503. The master bedroom was very comfortable. The bunk bedroom was quite small, and as noted in the description, best suited for kids. You could sleep 6 people there, but that wouldn't be a comfortable situation. Cleanliness was good, the kitchen had virtually everything you might need, and the view of the gulf was very nice. The parking garage is nice and not far from the condo. It's an easy walk to the Boardwalk which has several restaurants and a couple shops. Traffic on highway 98 is pretty crazy, so while I was hoping to do some biking directly from the condo, I decided that wasn't a safe option. Walking into FWB is not a problem; there are sidewalks that go all the way into the city. The property seems to be very well maintained.

A guest from Park Ridge, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.
This place was wonderful. The decor was a little dated, and it was a little small, but the amenities more than made up for it! The pool right outside the unit is huge and clean. Not terribly crowded. The other pools were a little more crowded, but the lazy river was fun. The beach access was perfect. It was only steps from the elevator and it was beautiful. Rentals for umbrellas and chairs were included, and we were able to leave our stuff there when we wanted to take a break for lunch. There are a bunch of small showers on your way back from the beach to get the excess sand off. Everything was a breeze. And the in unit washer/dryer was such a convenience. Was able to keep what we packed to a minimum. I would highly recommend this property!

Great Property and would go back, UNLESS, the HOA continues to refuse to fix their elevators. I have been there two times in three months and having to wait because several of the elevators do not work is ridiculous.

We do agree with you that Destin West is an excellent property and we know the HOA is working on the elevators. Hopefully, soon they will work properly. Thanks for visiting with us. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

We enjoyed our stay. The condominium was very nice and we had an excellent view of the Beach. Amenities in condo and on property were good. The area that the property is located is near a large stretch of beach that is undeveloped with large sand dunes so very nice beach walks. Will definitely be back for another stay.
