Very nice. Much quieter than we expected.

Great location, lots of sleeping room and privacy.

If I could give 6 stars I would. Beautiful condo, excellent location, could not have asked for anything else. Easy process from start to finish and the owner of the property was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!

Great stay! Lots of room and location is great!

When we first arrived at this location the unit smelled like someone had been smoking. The cleaners had left the patio doors open, probably in an attempt to air it out, but we could still smell it for several days. I notified the management company of the issue and was told there was nothing they could do and I should just let it air out. I was instructed to call them back the next day if it didn't help. We tried to leave the patio doors open and thought it was a little better the next day, until we left the room and came back, where we instantly started smelling it again. I called them and left a voicemail the next day and got no reply. I also texted the owner at the same time and got no reply. A few days later, the smell was better but we could still smell it when first entering. I texted the owner again and he said he had a medical problem and would have the management company call me back. They did, but wanted to stop by to see if they could smell it. I told them my kids had just gotten to sleep for their nap and i'd call back once they woke up. I did that around 5 and left a voicemail again and never got a response. By then we were leaving in a couple days so i just dropped it. After we left i notified the owner i was probably going to leave a bad review, and all i got were excuses about us not letting the manager onto the property and that they never received any voicemails (which we both not true). This place might have been a nice place (the pools were nice and the beach was great) but smelling smoke in the unit all week just turned us off to this location. Stay away unless you don't care about having a bad experience when you have issues.

Great value for our week stay. I loved the ease of checking in and the beach is SO close.

Great amenities, pools and beach were very close and wonderful.

Our stay was ok. Property was a little dirty once check in, food in couch, dirty walls, and popcorn under bunks mattresses. Pool was not very family friendly. Way overcrowded and so called adults couldnt swim without a beer in their hands. Pool and beach were full of drunks with kids running wild and no workers keeping things in line. Once it was dark get your children indoors because the party began outside in pool and parking garage. Wasnt a good experience with younger children.

We had a wonderful experience. The property was excellent and well maintained.

This is a fantastic place for families! We travelled with a 1 yo, 3 yo and 5 yo along with my mother. Everyone had a blast. The pools, splash pad and beach were amazing, clean and well maintained. We will be back!

Loved the private beach access.

All amenities were provided. Could have used a better working can opener, but otherwise, we had all things we needed to cook and enjoy. Newer refrigerator and washer/dryer.

This is our 3rd time staying at Waterscape! We love it! Easy check in and check out! Staff is friendly and helpful. Great family place!

My family spent the past week (3/14/20 - 3/21/20) in Waterscape A225 and had a fantastic time! I booked through VRBO which was easy, but just realized that we can now book directly w/ Destin West Escapes...which we will make use of next time as I am already planning a return visit. The resort itself is in great shape and is very clean. The various pools are what initially attracted us to the resort, and our kids had a blast moving between the lazy river, waterfalls, and lily pads. The beach was beautiful, and the staff was very helpful and attentive. Additionally, our vacation "straddled" the date w/ which the COVID-19 pandemic began affecting local businesses, public beaches, and travel. Upon leaving for vacation, there were not any travel restrictions, but a few days later everything had changed. I was easily able to communicate directly w/ the owner (Rick Engle), to receive updates along with additional information. We knew this was a possibility, but Rick was willing to work with his customers given the extreme circumstances. My family chose to continue w/ our stay since all of Waterscape's amenities were still open, and felt we would be able to distance ourselves from other families. In the end, everything worked out for the best and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Destin West Escapes!

We had an amazing week at the beach! This property is clean, easy access from the parking garage, splash pad and pools. We came to Fort Walton Beach to celebrate our adoption and this property didn’t disappoint!! It was completely family centered from the bunk rooms to the pool areas.

We loved Waterscape! It was our children's first time being in Florida and the three different pools, plus the lazy river, were perfect for our 4 year old, 2 year old, and 8 month old boys. The pools and surrounding areas were clean. The room was perfect, giving us plenty of space as well as the at-home feeling we need traveling with small children. Our room was well equipped with kitchen utensils and dishes and having in-room laundry was a life saver. The bathrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. It was great having a DVD rental on-site for our children. We walked to the Gulfarium and several restaurants during our stay which was really convenient. Overall we loved our stay and will go back--the location and pool for the kids makes this place a must stay!

The condo is totally awesome. Only complaint would be that it isn't as clean as we would clean our own home, but for some it may not be an issue, and we never complained to the owner, because everything else was awesome. Thanks

This rental was ideal for families with children. The location to the pool was amazing and access to the beach was so easy! Loved have king beds in both rooms and the bunk room and half bath were life savers!!

Outstanding place and convenient location! Clean and highly recommend. We will definitely stay here again! Great beach access and loved the pool area.

This condo allowed for a great spring break vacation for my family, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law; 7 people in total. The accommodations in the condo was great for our group. The two bedrooms are both suites with a bathroom off both of them. The bunk-room was nice for kids; both my 10 and seven year old loved it. It reminded them of the bunks at great wolf lodge. We had one day that the weather was really cool and which made the beach too cold to hang out on but the heated pool was sheltered enough from the wing and warm enough that we didn't mind and the kids could swim comfortably with air temps in the 50's. On the warm days the beach was right there. The resort put out two chairs and an umbrella for each room to use. The location is good. We were looking for something for the family and not crazy spring breakers and this was what we found with this condo; however, it wasn't too far from the attractions. We drove into Pensacola for a day and visited the naval air museum on a day the Blue Angels were practicing. That was amazing! Destin had several cruises to choose from, we did a dolphin cruise and saw several dolphins. Everyone came away from the vacation feeling great about it, eager to do it again next year. The condo really felt like a vacation home and we are glad we stayed.

Our week would have been perfect if the weather had cooperated better! But we eventually got a couple days of sun. We were a bit surprised at first to find a balcony view of the parking lot and not the splash pad area but our first night we were treated to a beautiful surprise fireworks display! There are tons of kid friendly things to do just down the road in Destin.

I would not rent from this owner- On October 6th we checked into the property, with my husband and 5 year old twins. The location was good and condo space was clean and spacious. This is an inside unit, and it does face construction, another hotel & parking lot view. Kitchen was supplied but quality of pots, pans, dishes, silverware, cups, etc. was lacking. The property had an amazing pool with splash pad and lazy river for the kids. I would recommend Waterscape, just not renting from Rick. On October 8th, the second day of vacation, the property crew began around 11am walking the pool area, taking all chairs that were not occupied, by 1pm, the property crew began removing chairs that had personal items due to preparation for Hurricane Michael. There was not much communication, everyone was frustrated and anxious. By 4pm, almost all pool chairs had been removed from the property as well as grills. This was my second day and I couldn’t even enjoy it because the entire place was shutting down. I contacted Rick- He was not understanding. I traveled to waterscape with 3 other families (who rented from other owners) & they with were all contacted by their property owners and told they encouraged them to evacuate and they would be refunded 4 days due to the facility shut down, SO we made the choice to evacuate also. It wasn’t worth staying if the facility was not usable, and maybe unsafe. My family chose to rent a vehicle and drive all the way back to Indiana, because we had flown to Florida- The rental company provided us with a partial discount for evacuating and Allegiant even gave us a refund on our tickets due to the DESTIN AIRPORT closing. I understand we didn’t have "trip insurance" but neither did any of the families we traveled with- you would think Rick would have the decency to give us some of our lost money back. I wouldn’t rent from Rick because he obviously doesn't do the right thing. *Hurricane Michael is the first category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the Florida Panhandle EVER! This is an unusual circumstance and I hoped he had enough decency to realize that. This is what Rick offer a credit for a future visit falling in 2018 or 2019 in the amount of $150 during spring break, fall break, or summer months. We would bump this up to $225 during any other weeks. I don't like to provide reviews like this, but I just feel angry about the situation & would hope that perspective renters would want to how Rick handled my situation.

Clean, supplied everything we needed! Pools and beach were perfect!!

We had a great week at this resort and condo. We will be back again!

Beautiful condo with awesome amenities for kiddos and excellent location to food, beach, activities.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rick’s condo. Clean and spacious. Anyone with children would love it. Our 3 yr. old grandson couldn’t get enough of all the pools. Thank you Rick for sharing your home with us. The only thing I would suggest would to maybe have a small rug inside the front door and a doormat on the balcony when coming in. Just to help with the sand. Otherwise it was a great place. Hope to come back again. Thanks! D&J Ohio

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was very convenient being on the same level as the splash pad. Our only 2 complaints were how bright the bedrooms were in the morning, it could definitely use a more heavy duty curtain as the sun was pouring in at 6 am every morning and we couldn’t seem to get the thermostat below 75, so it was usually very hot in the condo. All in all though the condo was wonderful. It had everything we needed for our stay and we would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Resort on beach! Plenty of options for kids and close to nearby activities and restaurants. Will definitely stay there again! Fabulous vacation and lots of memories were made!

The owner, Rick is very nice to work with. I appreciated his quick responses to my inquiries. The room was just okay. I highly suggest hiring a new cleaning service as we had to clean the room ourselves after it was cleaned for the second time after our arrival. This doesn’t reflect the owner as he was nothing but kind.

would stay at this resort again just not this room or one owned by him

Room was absolutely perfect! We look forward to staying again!

We had 4 teenagers and plus a 2 yr old...everyone had a great time!
