Great space for family atmosphere, comfortable and it made fun chilling and relaxing with whole family. Definitely made memories and took beautiful family pictures with ocean view background.

One of my all time favorite destinations! Comfy furniture and bedding! Amazing balcony with great furniture and dining seating with views of bay, marina, dolphins and the lazy river. The lazy river looks like a Sandals property with an oasis of lights and colors! Book it!

The pros: The Dest West complex is amazing. We loved the lazy river, pools, and hot tubs. The walk to the beach using the sky bridge was easy. We felt safe here, at the pools, and walking to the beach. There are beach chairs, sand toys, and a wagon to use for the beach. The view from the balcony was really nice. The Cons: This condo needs several updates: The large florescent light in the kitchen looks like it's getting ready to fall. The oven has no markings on it. We couldn't tell how hot we were cooking anything. There's only one pan. The condo had no: salt/pepper, broom/dustpan, beach towels, throw blankets, and hot pads. The coffee maker didn't work. The dishwasher sometimes worked. The master shower has MOLD on the ceiling. There was sand on several surfaces when we arrived. We paid A LOT of money to stay here for a week, which was really overpriced considering the condition of the space and missing items. Dest West is a great place, but we WILL NOT be staying in this condo again.

The cleanliness left a bit to be desired. We swept and spot cleaned constantly, but could not go barefoot in condo because feet were black and dirty. Had to put socks on or wash feet 4 or 5 times a night. Advertising includes State of Art Fitness Room, as well as documents in condo, but we were told oh thats not included now. We chose this condo based on that amenity. We picked up bottle caps and soda tabs the first entire day. Danger to little ones and felt like cleaning crew should have gotten those. Nice condo as far as decor and view, but not sure we'd pick it again or recommend to our friends, especially for the price.

Beautiful view from the balcony. Beach was a bit of a walk. I appreciated the bridge because the main rod has a lot of traffic. Beaches are beautiful.

It was amazing

Overall our stay here was nice, however, there were a couple of issues. One, the location is very noisy, you can hear the highway traffic and there was construction going on in another area that was 'early morning' loud. If you love jets, the air base was flying very low and loud over the building. I realize these things can not be controlled by the owner but perhaps a heads up in the write up would make people aware. Second, although the apartment appeared clean we couldn't believe how black our feet were from walking on the floors. Both inside and on the balcony the floors seemed to have been overlooked. The furniture on the patio was also very worn and moldy - perhaps cushions could be stored somewhere inside or in a storage box. In general is was a nice place and we did enjoy seeing the dolphins from the balcony. The over pass to the beach was a plus as you are going over a 4 lane highway.

Renting this property was easy

The location was great, but there is a little walk and elevators to get to the beach across the street. Not an issue, but is a little challenging if you have anyone handicapped. Other than that I was a little irritated when I mentioned check-in time through a message of 3 as stated on vrbo, but was informed check-in was 4 and if that was an issue they could cancel my booking. I didn't feel it was a very professional response. When we got to the condo I felt things could've been better. The living room rug is falling apart, there are places in the bathroom that look like mold or mildew, most utensils and some bowls are broken or need replaced. I text about the freezer not freezing and never got so much as a response. I bought ice cream and waffles for my kids and neither stayed frozen. Luckily we didn't buy anything else that needed to be frozen. The humidifier was extremely loud and made it difficult to sleep and finally early in the morning on our final morning I had to turn it off because it sounded like it was completely falling apart. For several days I didn't realize what it was making th3 loud noise. The dryer also took 2 to 3 dry cycles to get anything dry. As far as a place to sleep and the view it was great. Other than that I wouldn't book again and wouldn't book through this company again.

We picked this property because the web site stated there are 4 heated pools. NONE of the pools were heated and absolutely freezing. That was probably our biggest disappointment. As for the condo, I give it 4 stars. The condo is perfect for a family vacation and the balcony is huge with gorgeous views. We had a small issue with the air conditioner and maintenance came immediately and helped us out. I think there should be more towels provided but the kitchen is absolutely stocked with nice things and everything you could possibly want. The walk over to the beach is a stretch so you definitely want to bring your wagon to carry your things. The area marked for people staying on the property is VERY small, so you will want to get to the beach as soon as possible to get a spot. pro's: Views, huge balcony

This unit has more than enough space for a family of four. The kitchen is great for cooking nearly every meal during a week stay. The balcony has great views of the bay! Destin West pools, lazy river and beach access can't be beat.

We had a great stay, the property offered plenty to keep everyone from children to teens to adults entertained. Will be coming back again!

We loved this Vrbo. The condo was beautiful, clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. Loved the location and all of the amenities. We enjoyed the lazy river, access to the private beach, catching crabs in the bay, and loved the proximity to food and shopping. We would definitely come back again!

The property provided all the needs we required for the trip and the balcony is absolutely fabulous!! The kids truly enjoyed the pool and lazy river. Great centralized location to EVERYTHING!!!

We would absolutely stay at this condo again. Great location, easy access to everything we needed. Condo was very clean and had all the amenities that we wanted. You won't go wrong with booking here.

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: My husband and I take our three young boys and grandma and grandpa to Destin every year. This is our fourth year staying at Destin West and we had another great experience!!! Julie was SOOO helpful and responsive, especially when we thought our trip would be cancelled for a tropical storm and we didn’t know how to proceed. Upon arrival, the condo was spotless, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all we needed, and the views were impeccable as always! We loved the pools and lazy river, and enjoy being a short walk from the beach. We would recommend this place time and time again. We will certainly be back!!!

We absolutely love this resort! We have been going to this resort for 9 years and this was our first time staying in the Heron. Our condo was amazing and the view from the balcony was top notch! I love that there are heated pools for October and the water in the ocean was still perfect (a little chilly when you first get in but perfect once you were in). We can't wait to go back next year!

We spent a week in this very comfortable condo. The balcony was amazing - truly made our trip most memorable! Julie and team are excellent hosts and responded quickly to an email with questions that we had. Highly recommend! Thank you for one of our best vacations ever!

Great amenities, comfortable settings, location good

Had a great time. Beautiful place

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I and three other authors had a mini-writing retreat at Destin West. Heron 604 was perfect for us and we enjoyed having so many areas to write. Loved the large balcony and the amazing view of the sunrise over the bay. The baths and showers were great and plenty big enough (especially the master). Only two complaints. The refrigerator made a weird squeaking sound and we couldn't get it to stop. The toilet in the first bathroom ran a long time.

The condo was great and the furniture was comfortable and really useful to use, because of our four young children and four adults. The wagon and chairs provided were nice and nothing can beat that bay view! One of the reason we picked this condo was the nice porch furniture and it really added to our experience. I also appreciate the blackout curtains in the master.

Huge condo with amazing views. We loved having all the furniture options on the private lanai. Condo had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The resort was clean and well maintained. Pools were very nice. The location was great and we would return again when looking for a beach vacation. Condo management was excellent, friendly and available when needed. Great choice for a nice vacation!

This condo had a very upscale feel to it. It was clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. The location was perfect as well. It's close to restaurants and shops in a less crowded area outside of Destin. The gulf was beautiful and we all loved the lazy river on the bay side. We will definately be returning!

Beautiful condo! Great view of the bay and lazy river. It was a great place to ride out Hurricane Sally! 😊
