Such a disappointment. The refrigerator / freezer does not work and according to maintenance and reading a past review - the owner and management company had full knowledge before we arrived. We lost several hundreds of dollars in food. The hot tub on the roof does not heat and had sand in it. The grill was torn apart. The jacuzzi tub in the MB did not work. The contract they ask you to sign ensures you are just out of luck.

It was a lovely condo & we enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean. The check in did not go well as the code we were given did not work and we were forced to stand in the hot sun with all of our things for 20-30 minutes until someone texted us a new code to try that finally worked. No one in maintenance would actually pick up the phone to actually talk to us which was annoying just text. This was 4 pm on a Tuesday afternoon- not after hours

It started with an incorrect door code that was easily remedied, the water heater was broken, also remedied, the refrigerator was out..should have been 33 or so degrees...was 60...wifi out, we fixed before they could, lot of duct tape holding things together. carpet duct taped to floor...doesn't appear to have been updated since the 90s..everything was "minimum" I really hate leaving reviews like this, but C'mon!!!

Strongly suggest owner remodel the master. Skylight allows anyone with access to the roof (all other PHs) to clearly see entire bathroom and half of bed (just frost the glass at least!). Also, fully open clear glass shower to rest of master bedroom is inline with nudist colony theme. Black is not the best color for facilities.
Will NOT be staying at this PH again.

The condo was clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a great location. We enjoy staying in FWB because it’s not as touristy as Destin. The Lazy River, pools, and hot tubs were a big hit with my adult children. The property manager was friendly and met our needs. The master bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The king mattress was firm which was a big plus. The other beds were mostly comfortable. We had one on the sofa bed the first night but he said it was too uncomfortable and slept on the floor the rest of the time. The kitchen was stocked with the things we needed and Publix is just down the road. Parking was was and the views were great. We had a great time. Thanks!

We had a great time at the resort! We couldn’t get in the room when we first arrived and I called/texted the number that had confirmed everything the day before and within a few minutes I got a call back and reset the door code. The room was very clean. Lots of things I didn’t like in the room though. I didn’t like the skylight in the bathroom and didn’t realize there was one or I probably wouldn’t have rented it. It was directly over the tub/shower and very easy for anyone to jump the wall or walk through the gate on the roof and peak- so I felt we had zero privacy in the bathroom. The sliding door….almost impossible to open. The mattress was extremely hard. The resort itself, absolutely stunning and beautiful. Being on the Bay side gave us the opportunity to enjoy the Bay, Lazy River or a short walk on the over pass bridge to the beach. Resort was manicured and the managers done a great job checking for bracelets and not allowing any craziness. I would not rent this same room again. However, I would go back to this resort, it was our 2nd time and probably not the last.

We usually stay ocean side but liked the view of bayside with all the palm trees around swimming pools. We loved the rooftop hot tub in the evenings as well as the gas grill which we used quite often. Wish there was a high table and chairs up there so you could sit higher up and look at view. The condo itself was nice, different furniture than what the original pictures shows, the kitchen had all the utensils that we needed. The bed was comfortable and I liked the openness between the master bedroom and bathroom. Sliding door from living room was extremely difficult to open and close so we kept it closed and just used the one in bedroom which wasn’t a problem for us but could be for someone else. We would definitely stay again. Condo was ready early for us and check in and check out was super quick & easy.

30 minutes before we got there, management said there had been a water that had leaked in from a storm they had. I asked if I should be worried and they said no. When we got there, the master bedroom exterior wall and sliding glass door walls had towels and two fans running. They said to run the fans till we go to sleep. They had the fans blowing on the towers not the floor. We removed the towels and the fans were taken out the next day. The water kept seeping out till the third day. The pictures did not match the condo. They were old photos. The kitchen cabinets have a plastic shell instead of paint. The cover on the far right upper cabinet had a 4 inch piece missing along with chips out of other cabinet. The plywood was shown.The recliner had a large spot where a person’s head goes worn through the leather and had the mesh webbing shown. The master bath”s toilet has a slow leak that makes the toilet’ water come on two to three times a night.we reported the leak and a worker looked at it and never came back. The front door is missing a large part of it’s seal and the night before we left,, we had another rain storm which we had to get our beach towel to stop the water from coming into the condo. The furniture is very old. The triple dresser in the master bedroom is old and does not work right. The second one that opened fell apart on me. We lived out of our suitcase. My daughter”s bedroom had a pair of man underwire and a tee shirt with clothes tags in other drawers.. The grill had two tanks for propane for user. Both were empty and the grill was very dirty. Management did fill one tank after a short conversation on the subject. We did not use the grill because I did not want to waste 2 hours cleaning the grill.. A lot of the chrome fixtures had rust on them and the dryer has a rust spot that got onto my daughter’s white bathing suit. This is definitely not a five star condo. It is not worth the money and those that had stayed should get half their money back. Management offered another room but wasn’t a penthouse. Our family goes on a vacation every three years and rents out a penthouse. This was the worst experience we ever had. I have pictures and anyone renting this condo should ask for up to date pictures.

Fun in the ☀️
Pent house was beautiful. Location was awesome. However, this unit needs some attention. Dishwasher was difficult to run and sounds rough. Neither DVD players would work. One had no remote and the other wasn’t even hooked up to the tv. And their was no wire there to hook it up☹️. The kitchen cabinets need repair. It rained during our stay and the master bedroom slider door leaked, had to mop up the floor. After the storm, the great room slider became very difficult to operate.. Best beach get aways were inadequate at communicating necessary information like which building my rented unit was in. I emailed and called numerous times before I finally got a response 😞. Not the way to do business. I will avoid them in the future.

We are locals and needed a place to stay while we had some work done on our home. I was very please overall with this condo and the location. The office was very helpful and super friendly when I called. Overall the condo was clean with the exception of an end table and a tissue on the plantation shutter....not sure how it got up there. We loved the hot tub on the rooftop and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets and were able to see 2 fireworks shows. It would be nice to have a high top table and chairs on the rooftop so we could sit and enjoy our wine. The lounge chairs weren't conducive to that and allow us to enjoy the views. We would definitely consider staying here again.

The condo was clean and ready at 4pm! Easy check in and loved having the beach supplies in the garage. It was large enough for our group of 7 people and we did not need the sofa bed. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans and even a crock pot. My only complaint is the master bedroom. The bathroom and the bedroom are literally one room. If one person wanted to get up early to take a shower you are in the bedroom taking a shower. (No door) There is also a skylight in the bathroom that shines SOOOO bright at 6:00am. There is no closing the bathroom door because there isn't one. It was like someone shining a flashlight in your eyes. We eventually tried to cover it up with towels but basically were up at 6am every morning. Great for early risers. We love the location of Destin West but would not pick this condo again based on the master bedroom.

Great Condo
We visited for Mother's Day and all enjoyed the stay. Everything was as pictured expect one bedroom which turned out to be a bunk room instead but was even better because it provided more sleep space. Everything was clean, staff answered all calls and gave very detailed information before the stay. Will definitely be visiting again!

Nice place
Condo was nice, owners responsive. Great hot tub, plenty of room. Master bed was super comfortable but the Guest queen bed sagged. The pool could use some maintenance, we saw very few maintenance worker and lots of mulch, leaves in the pool. Overall great trip.

The wagon and chairs were very nice to have for the walks across to the beach. We didn’t have any luck catching fish off the pier but it was fun to try. We had a relaxing time in the rooftop hot tub, especially on the day it was too chilly for the pool or beach. The biggest disappointment we had is that the lazy River pool was very cold and unheated. The individual pools are heated so we could use those. It was a relaxing week just as we had hoped.

It was so nice getting away from old man winter. The month started out a little cool because of that terrible cold front that hit Texas, so we felt some of that. It improved dramatically after that. The best part about the unit we stayed in was the rooftop patio, complete with our personal hot tub. We had the morning sunshine coming in our unit and if we didn’t feel like heading to the pool, we went up to the rooftop patio to catch the sun for literally the whole day. The large and smaller pools were heated and clean. Everything about the unit and the resort could be summed up as CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! The beach is a short walk, and there is a boardwalk across the street with restaurants and bars. We’ll definitely be back.
