Great Property and would go back, UNLESS, the HOA continues to refuse to fix their elevators. I have been there two times in three months and having to wait because several of the elevators do not work is ridiculous.
Manager Responded on 9/12/2021
We do agree with you that Destin West is an excellent property and we know the HOA is working on the elevators. Hopefully, soon they will work properly. Thanks for visiting with us. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

We went back to Okaloosa Island and stayed here for the third time. We are looking at our calendar to see when we can come back. Does that tell you something? We had a wonderful comfortable and relaxing week again in the condo and on the beach. Not too many dolphins this trip, maybe next time

A guest from Park Ridge, IL United States recommends this vacation rental.
This place was wonderful. The decor was a little dated, and it was a little small, but the amenities more than made up for it! The pool right outside the unit is huge and clean. Not terribly crowded. The other pools were a little more crowded, but the lazy river was fun. The beach access was perfect. It was only steps from the elevator and it was beautiful. Rentals for umbrellas and chairs were included, and we were able to leave our stuff there when we wanted to take a break for lunch. There are a bunch of small showers on your way back from the beach to get the excess sand off. Everything was a breeze. And the in unit washer/dryer was such a convenience. Was able to keep what we packed to a minimum. I would highly recommend this property!

Debra L. from SHARPSBURG, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
My husband and I have stayed at Destin West many times over the years. Going for a month was on our bucket list!. This unit was exceptional. The view was fantastic, so close to the water. The unit was spotless and had everything you would need to stay a week or a year. Our favorite was the beautiful sunset over the pier and long walks on the beach. Or maybe it was having coffee on the balcony and watching the dolphins. We highly recommend this unit and property. You won't be disappointed. Don't stay too long... we will be back next year!

Andrew C. from Atlanta, GA US recommends this vacation rental.
This place was great. I sat on the patio the whole time and enjoined every meal watching the waves and pool activity. The kids loved the bunk beds and breakfast bar. Its right next to a private elevator that takes you to the footsteps of the pool, grills, and boardwalk to beach. This helps for dads carrying the beach load.

Patricia R. from Douglassville, Pennsylvania United States recommends this vacation rental.
We rented this unit for our family vacation June 28-July 5, 2014. We had a wonderful time! The condo is exactly as the pictures show, but even nicer in person! The balcony was large and had two tables and 6 chairs! My husband & I got up early in the mornings to enjoy our coffee out there and we saw dolphins playing by the pier a few times. We also enjoyed dining on the balcony in the evenings and watching the sun set. We had a great of the town, as well as, a view of the beach! If you'd like to watch the sun rise, too, you can do that from the master bedroom or the balcony in front of your entrance door. My husband actually said he liked this view better than being full on oceanfront!! Destin West is a fabulous resort. The pools were cleaned each morning, the lazy river and the bay side were awesome. It felt really peaceful floating in the lazy river in the evenings with the palm trees lining it. Having access to the Ramada Plaza next store was icing on the cake. Splash pad, many more pools, hot tubs and even a cool cave-like swim up bar! The only thing that was a slight disappointment to our trip was the June grass in the Gulf. Our first few days there it was like swimming in pea soup, but then it started to clear up and it was only in patches. I know that this is just nature and nothing you can do about it, but it was disappointing. We would absolutely love to come back to this area again and stay at Destin West. Next time, we may rent a bigger unit and bring along the whole family!

David P. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
Enjoyed the condo. The coffee pot did not work properly as it would not allow brewed coffee into the pot without placing something in the drain arm to hold it open. The bunk beds were comfortable, but being next to the air system it was quite loud. Very nice view and location. Always happy with Emerald Beach Property Management
Even better than the pictures

scott b. from Cincinnati, oh United States recommends this vacation rental.
We don't sweat the small stuff so if mis-matched furniture and a somewhat loud refrigerator bother you than you might have expectations that exceed this room. Other than that the resort is phenomenal; pools, hot tubs, sprinkler park and lazy river offer endless choices for the kids. Beach is super convenient and gorgeous. Grocery store and other amenities are 5 minutes away and the traffic is lighter than in Destin. Our garbage disposal started leaking and the management company had someone over to replace it the same day, and he worked around our schedule. If you like to cook a lot bring your own cutting board as the one in the room is small, otherwise the pots/pans and dishes were adequate.
Nice stay at ther beach!

Tiffany M. from New Orleans, LA, LA US recommends this vacation rental.
Great location in the building, nice beach view. Short walk to the beach. Not sure why, but possibly because it is near summer's end, the place was a bit beat up. The foyer walls were all scuffed & in need of paint. The one bedroom doesn't have a real view, but was adequate. Nice balcony. The sliding doors don't close all the way or lock. The bunks are good for children, a bit short for adults though. But the extra bathroom was a plus! The kitchen had basics only. Make sure to bring even salt & pepper. But there was a blow dryer & iron. Good for a couple or small family. Gym downstairs, make sure to get the code to get in beforehand.Next to Ramada which has a restaurant & a tiki bar on the beach. That was convenient for cocktails! Very short walk to a few restaurants & the fishing pier. Beach not overly crowded, even though it was labor Day weekend, which was nice.

Destin West is a great place to stay, this was our second year staying at the property and we will be back. It is in a great location and I love that you can visit the ocean as well as the bay without leaving the property! Our room was very nice, lots of room for the 6 of us and the kids loved all of the pools!
