This was truly a vacation at home. This unit afforded everything needed for everyday living and vacation enjoyment. Once we drove in and parked our car, we did not need to use our car. We had every necessity and luxury needed to make this a perfect week. We enjoyed the laziness of comfortable mornings with our coffee and the magnificent views from the front, rear and rooftop balconies. The Lazy River was used for relaxation while we chose the beach waters for exercise. The sunshine was just the Vitamin "Sea" that we needed! With several options for eating out within walking distance, we never had to rush to prepare food to eat. The owner and rental company take pride in the furnishings of this condo and everything was as expected. We enjoyed the hot tub immensely as we relaxed in the evening. The rooftop provided an excellent view of the holiday fireworks! Although we did not use the two additional bedrooms, they were available if friends or family had been able to join us. The master bedroom with double vanities and walk in shower afforded us all we needed for comfort. There was plenty of seating with two sofas in the living area, and with the beginning of football season, the big screen tv gave a perfect view. This rental company and this unit in particular is highly recommended!

This unit was perfect for my daughter’s senior trip! We enjoyed the rooftop hot tub, especially to watch the fireworks. There were so many pools for everyone to relax in including the lazy river. The restaurants within walking distance were also a plus. We will definitely be making another trip in the future.

Once again we had the best winter place to lease. Coastal vibes is quick to respond with any of our needs. The first week the Main tv went out and it was replaced the same day. The front door pock was replaced as soon as we had a problem opening the door with our code. Then we were bless with a new hot tub. Thanks again for making our stay a pleasant one.

Heron PH09 is the perfect example of a getaway for relaxation. The location to the amazing interior setup of the unit (master bathroom shower is hands down one of the best showers I have ever used!) is worth staying and never leaving but unfortunately I don't think that is possible haha. The view from the multiple balconies to the rooftop penthouse is the oasis of solitude when waiting beach time without the people. I would recommend Heron PH09 to anyone and I would look into it again myself for the future!
10.0 / 10.0
Everything was great, but the place could have been cleaner. The frying pans need to be upgraded as we couldn’t even fry eggs and had to wash all the dishes and anything we used in advance. The dishwasher also needs to be changed. Zip ties won’t fix the damages. The place also needs 10 mugs if it hosts ten guests etc.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved everything about the condo and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The hot tub on the roof was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed it very much. Also, loved having the grill up there...so convenient. We have been to Destin West many times and found PH09 to be one of the best we have ever stayed in. We will be back as soon as we can!!! Thanks for a great stay.

We enjoyed our vacation so much at Destin West. The communication with Coastal Vibes was always very prompt when I had a question and the unit was just what we needed for our family vacation. It had everything we needed and enough room for multiple of us to enjoy. The resort itself was beautiful as well! We can't wait for our next trip!!

This was our first time staying in the area as my son is in tech school in the air force in fort walton. Our family decided that it would be a great time to visit him. So off we went, my husband and I, our oldest son, his wife, our 2 grandbabies, my middle son, his wife who is expecting their first baby and the air force sons girlfriend. We made great memories that I will cherish. The condo was so wonderful. It was clean, and decorated so lovely. The bed in the master was amazing! Also the shower in the master bath. The booking, check in, directions, instructions, and check out were all hassle free! I would love to go back again someday! Oh and one more thing, if you get a chance to watch the sunset on the penthouse balcony, do it! :)

We had the best 9 week stay here. The condo offers everything you need to enjoy your time at Destin West! The pool and lazy river provided hours of fun. Then able to return to our condo rooftop hottub for a relaxing evening! See you next year!
10.0 / 10.0
We loved staying here! The condo had everything you could need ! Would definitely stay here again. Views are beautiful, especially from the rooftop.
We did struggle with the temperature in the condo. We could never get all the rooms and living room at the same temperature…this could very well be user error though.
We did get a significant amount of rain. It rained so hard that several times rain came in the condo from the front door. We had to use bath towels to stop the flooding. Would suggest putting something under the door to stop the rain from coming in like that. This just added laughter to our vacation though. :)
5 out 5 would recommend staying here!

Loved our penthouse condo at Destin West. Was beautifully decorated. Our kids loved the hot tub on the roof. The lazy river was awesome. Being able to swim in the ocean and the bay was really cool! Would definitely recommend.

We brought my senior parents and 11 year old son and everyone loved it. Huge private rooftop area, beautiful bedrooms, living room and kitchen, fun pool/river and a quick walk across the bridge to the beach. We’ll be back!

We had a fantastic time. The condo is exactly as described. Plenty of beds and even a pack n play for the baby. The resort is nice—we have been before and really enjoy it. I wish they would heat the pools a bit more when the weather is cooler. It was in the 50s two of the days. The condo had everything we needed with the exception of smart tvs. We could not figure out how to use the tv to switch to Netflix and we couldn’t use our other streaming services. Not crucial but it did rain a couple times and a family movie would have been nice. Instead Momma got to watch hallmark mysteries (my favorite channel). Easy access to the beach although I would say it takes more like 15 minutes if you have the wagon to pull. I cheated and drove across the street and parked on the first floor garage as I also had a baby to transport. The beach chairs and beach wagon very nice and lots of sand toys, umbrella and even a baby float. This condo more than met our needs. 4 young men ranging in ages 15-21, a mom and a 7 month old. Toaster, toaster oven, microwave came in handy. Kitchen was well supplied. Lots of towels. Beds were comfy. We all had a great time.

What more could you ask for - Great location (close to everything you would want to do - beach, restaurants, shopping, entertainment), amazing condo unit (beautiful inside and the rooftop views - wow), excellent amenities (beach, pools, hot tub).

Herron PH9 is an excellent property, the listing/pictures are spot on. The high ceilings and large hallway made the condo feel open and spacious. My husband and I took our two teens and they each brought a friend and we still had plenty of privacy. We love the sound side and loved that this property provides direct water access to the sound
Would highly recommend this property for your next family vacation!

Wonderful time for all ages
Destin West is a very nice place to stay. We stayed on the bay side. The lazy river will keep most of your group satisfied for hours. There are four other pool areas, covered seating and lounge chairs all around to enjoy as well. If you are interested in going to the beach, a walking bridge is available to safely go from side to side.
Our condo was clean, well maintained, comfortable and well stocked for all our eating and drinking needs. There was also a wine cooler which was a nice touch. The rooftop balcony was wonderful. Whether bbq'ing in the evening or early morning coffee it was peaceful, breezy and comfortable.
Parking and traffic can be tricky, but I always found early mornings provided the best opportunities for both.
Heron PH-09 was awesome!! Thank you David and all the team at coastal vibe for making all this so easy. We will definitely be contacting you for our next beach vacation!

We had a wonderful trip to PH-09
Property was beautiful, clean, and in a great location. Destin West is our favorite resort in the area.
We had a couple of minor issues and they were right on top of handling very quickly.
The on-site manager was great and very helpful.
I would highly recommend!

Clean and beautiful Penthouse with responsive mgmt
Place was great/beautiful and they had everything we needed while there including a blender, couch blankets, and more. The mgmt was super responsive when we needed to tell them something and they let us check in early to our surprise! Highly recommend.

Great property
Great location. Loved the proximity to the beach, the bay, and the boardwalk. Didn't have to drive many places, which was great since traffic is a MESS! Close enough to Destin to make the trip a couple times (go early and leave early!) for a visit to the gator farm and a morning dolphin cruise. Overall a great place for kids and adults. Highly recommend and look forward to booking in the future!

Week In Paradise!!
This was our 5th stay at Destin West and by far the best unit! We have been coming to Okaloosa Island for about 12 years now. We came from North Georgia and brought our daughter, husband and 3 yr. old grand-daughter as well as our 16 yr. old son. We booked the Heron PH-09 for 7 nights and were so blessed to enjoy a perfect weather week.
We were pleased to be able to have plenty of sleeping room in the guest room with the queen-on-queen bed and the large closet space as well as dresser and tv in the room. The unit was spacious and beautifully decorated just as it was in the pictures; although, I think the pictures didn't do it justice. Very well stocked with supplies and was especially pleased with the startup supplies! Thanks to the amazing team at Coastal Vibes. We had a couple of situations arise and were met with a very prompt response from David as well as his meeting our expectations and resolving our situation.
The condo is clean and well maintained. The bed in Master Bedroom was amazing! Slept like babies. The view of sunrise from Master bedroom is spectacular; not to mention the rooftop! We enjoyed our morning coffee each day as we always do from the roof and were not disappointed. The hot tub was very relaxing and the high-top table on the roof was a great spot for the 360 degree view and spectacular sunsets!
Our daughter and husband really enjoyed the private balcony on the back side with a beautiful view of the beach and boardwalk. It was nice to have a sense of privacy from one another with the front and back areas. Its great for multiple families and various age groups.
One of the reasons we love this condo so much is the tropical feel of the lazy river area. The lush greenery and tropical flowers make it feel like a lagoon! The maintenance team has been very good at keeping it beautiful. Even at night the changing lights cast such a beautiful hue over the water!
We were able to rent a pontoon this trip and spend the day at crab island and beaching on the island while the kids snorkeled, fished and played in the sand. Absolutely worth the trip! We also got to see the Gulfarium and were very suprised at all the marine life! Kids went down the road on foot and spent the last evening at the arcade. Always a favorite. We did not play putt-putt this trip due to the weather on the last day but have enjoyed the course here many times. As always, the soft white sand, crystal clear emerald waters, and amazing blue skies are what draws us to this little piece of paradise. The fact that we can enjoy all of this and never have to drive anywhere is just a bonus!!
As for food....we enjoyed a wonderful seafood feast at Crab Trap which has always been one of our favorites. Our grand-daughter so enjoyed getting to watch her favorite disney movie on the blowup screen on the sand behind the boardwalk. We had a great lunch at Anglers and our 16yr. old loved the gator bites! Also, we found a great breakfast spot just over the bridge in Ft. Walton called "The Little Grill". A must for a quaint little island breakfast. If you really want to have breakfast with a view of the ocean you can at Anglers but keep in mind they don't have bf every day.
We all thoroughly enjoyed this trip and will definately stay in this unit again! Thanks so much to the cleaning, maintenance staff as well as management. We will continue to recommend you guys. Can't wait for our next adventure! The Kellers!

Nice condo, great resort
We had a fantastic stay here at Destin West. The pools, lazy river, proximity to other activities, rooftop balcony, were all awesome. Our entire party enjoyed the stay. The property managers were very responsive to any inquiries and made sure we enjoyed the stay. The only downside (and I only say this because we traveled with a 2 and 4 year old) was the proximity to the beach. The bridge was great as it would literally be the only way to cross that busy road. From this unit, it was probably a 10-15 minute walk to the beach (I know, boohoo). The beach was beautiful and the boardwalk had an activity every night if you were so inclined to attend. I would recommend this property to anyone that has a medium to large party.

A wonderful Thanksgiving getaway!
This unit was exactly what we were looking for in our week away from home! It was clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed. We spent as much time as we could on the roof-top enjoying the hot tub, the sunshine and the view! This property is in a convenient location, and it is an easy walk to the beach and the boardwalk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

It was amazing, Dave was such a great help from the time we started looking at places to stay to the time we departed. We had a couple small problems that got fixed right away. this is the only place that i will stay while in Destin.
I would recommend this condo to everyone that comes to Destin or Fort Walton beach.
We had Darris Photographer do our family pictures which we have used her before. Deep sea fishing was a blast and we used Captain Gary which we have used before.
All around we had a blast.

What a wonderful condo and location! All the amenities of home and then some! The condo is thoughtfully furnished throughout. The kitchen had every accessory imaginable for us from measuring spoons to a crockpot and a Ninja blender! There was also a beach buggy equipped with beach chairs, toys for the little ones to use at the beach, cushions for all of the chairs. A beautiful condo with a great view - cannot say enough good about this unit! You will not be disappointed to stay and Coastal Vibe Vacations is a very professional and highly responsive company to work with. We will definitely be back for future vacations!
