Huge! There were only 2 TVs and the patio and top deck furniture are in need of replacement. Decor could use some updates.

We’ve stayed at Destin West five times over the last decade and this is by far the most beautiful condo. The only problem is the little things, things you would expect in a condo of this price. There’s not enough silverware for instance and neither are there enough bath towels. There’s no toaster oddly enough and the coffee maker takes 30 minutes to make coffee. A few extra dollars spent would go a long way to among this a five start experience.

We've stayed in other luxury suites at Destin West for many years.  This one is our favorite so far.

I definitely recommend this room if you want a luxury suite with a great view!!

This condo was elite. Top tier. The pictures simply did not do it justice. The only hiccups I would suggest for improvement would be better labeling on light switches. There are a lot and it took until 6 days into our stay for us to feel comfortable with what was what. The other hiccup was the tv would sparingly go black for a second before the picture came back. All in all, it’s a great spot and well worth the money!

The room, Heron PH3, was very underwhelming. The major issue was the hot tub was inoperable. There were light fixtures missing in the ceiling, the walls were very scuffed and in need of repair, the ceiling was cracking in numerous spots, the lamps in the first bedroom were broken, the lighting in the first bedroom bathroom is very poor, the window shade in the first bedroom was broken (we hung a bedsheets over the window). Overall the room condition is very poor and not at all what it was made out to be. For this being advertised as one of their premier condos, we were very dissatisfied.

We've been vacationing in Fort Walton Beach / Destin, FL. for about ten years. And we've stayed at several different properties over the years. And then, we stumbled across this gem! The location is perfect, it accommodates our "crew" and there's never any surprises. We now consider it our "home away from home." Thank-you.

Our stay was very good. This unit is very large in size. There are many dings, scratches and stains however in this unit that need some love and the furniture needs updating. We had 6 adults and an 8 month old so we were comfortable. Hot tub area needs some love and better furniture as well.

Was overly excited to stay in this unit initially. Management Company called us the day we were checking in to tell us the hot tub was not in working condition. This should have been brought to our attention at time of booking, since (after having seen other reviews) they had been having issues with the hot tub for several months. Also, we couldn't watch the TV in the living room without having Maintenance come and reset it daily. We gave up and basically had everyone in the Master bedroom to watch any tv. Typically, this wouldn't be an issue during the Summer but it was Thanksgiving and with the weather not cooperating it would've been nice to watch the Macy's Day parade as well as the football games. One of the bedrooms has a leaking shower stall that has been soaking the carpeted area for quite some time. Overall this unit is very spacious and has spectacular views of the Bay and surrounding is not very user friendly when it comes to the lighting and motorized shades. Unless this room gets an overhaul in the next few months, I would not consider renting this unit again.

The condo itself is a beautiful one. On the to balcony, views are beautiful. The location was convenient to activities we wanted to do. Which was pool, beach, and eat. Several of our activities were only 10/15 minute drive. This room had several cosmetic issues. We could not use the hot tub due to electric problems. The washer was also effected by electric. (Kept tripping) The outside chairs were frayed, comfy room/hip wise. The ice machine in bar area wouldn't work. Behind the beds, night stands, closet areas there was a ton of dust. The condo seemed to be rush cleaned. Like I said, several cosmetic things. One restaurant we went to was Fuddruckers. It was a pricey one. Personally, I didn't enjoy the food all to well. My husband said the gator bites were good. We enjoyed our visit to Fort Walton.

Overall experience was great. Beautiful beach and great pools. Condo was worn. Hot tub tripped breaker whenever the jets turned on. Beer cans, cigar ash, and water bottles left when we checked in. Someones flip flops were left under bed. Someone came into room while we were out and left towels and toilet paper. We tried to leave comments when checking out, but staff was uninterested.

We've stayed with Destin West for the past several years, and the check-in / out process couldn't be easier. Everything is always ready. And this year, we stayed in Heron PH-03 which was absolutely PERFECT! In fact, as soon as it becomes available for next year -- we intend to re-book it.

The facility is fine. Crowded. Very good location to Ft Walton activities. The front desk staff, however, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. They were generally a young staff. But very professional.

We had a very nice time in this condo. The layout was great for our family. We only had a few issues - the lights were very frustrating - it took almost the whole week to figure out which switches worked which lights. Would be nice if they were labeled. Also the TVs were old - could not plug in a Roku stick. Volume would not work on the TV in the living room. Window shades also needed instructions on how to work. The existing instructions (according to maintenance) were not correct. Otherwise we had a very nice experience there.

The music festival, Rock by the Sea, was a great success with Destin West being a huge contributor to that success! From the Lazy River to the stages at Rick's on the Island! FABULOUS!

We absolutely loved our Penthouse . The view was gorgeous, the rooms were very nice the only thing that was missing was a TV and more lighting in the front room . We had a hard time sewing in there. Also the toliets had black build up in them and we bought some clorox and cleaned them. Other than that we enjoyed our stay . I would recommend this room and I hope to book this Penthouse in the future .

The unit was great. Large with 3br, 3.5ba. I feel the unit is designed to target a higher class with darker wood trims and pain color. Lots of remotes that control many different things like the shades. Work great once you figure them out and the batteries have life.
The living room furniture could use an update.
Nice large capacity washer and dryer in the unit. Great having a separate ice maker for daily cooler refills.
They boast heated pools but it was obvious to us and other pool patrons that they didn't have the heat on until mid-week of our stay. A noticeable difference.
Worst part of this unit was the walk to the gym, about a quarter a mile. The beach is further than that.

The views from this location are amazing. We enjoyed coffee from our bed while watching the sunrise. It is big enough for everyone to have there own space. However, the room does need a little TLC. It was a bit dirty and the hot tub would leak all day and have to be refilled to use. That being said we will be booking again next time we visit.

Absolutely loved staying here, everything is clean, top notch quality, and the hot tub is literally the best reason to stay here. It's also a plus that every room has their own shower. It also has a fully stocked kitchen with pots/pans/dishes so you can cook your meals. Only booking this penthouse from now on!

This penthouse unit is very spacious and luxurious. The kitchen was very well equipped and the expansive view of the bay made meal preparation more enjoyable. The resort is very well maintained with plenty of pools to choose from. The skywalk makes the walk to the beach very convenient. There are many restaurants within walking distance and Destin is a short commute.
