Courtney R. from Cat Spring, TX United States recommends this vacation rental.
June 2023- I have stayed at Destin West Beach and Bay Resort every time I have been to the Destin Area and each time in a different unit. DW unit 105 is a great location and was perfect for me and my husband. The unit had everything we needed and Sugar Sands was SO EASY to book with! The only complaint we had was the mattress in the main bedroom. PLEASE have the owners upgrade! We had to sleep on the bunk beds and couch after the first night. It is extremely too soft and killed our backs. If we had driven (we flew in) I would have spent the money on a mattress topper and brought it home with us. (That’s the reason for the 4 star review) Otherwise, it’s a 5 star property.
Manager Responded on 6/26/2023
We agree Destin West is an excellent resort with so many amenities. We will bring the mattress topper to our oweners attentiion. Hope to see you again. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals

Liliana S. from Harvest, AL United States recommends this vacation rental.
The room was on 1st floor with direct access to pool from patio. So so convenient. Pool is open until 11 pm. Hard to find that. Condo is directly in front of the beach too. We had some issues with washer and pull out mattress but Sugar Sands went above and beyond to fix the issues. I've never had a more courteous rental company. Will book with them again.

A guest from ELLIJAY, GA United States recommends this vacation rental.
This is a great condo in perfect location. The only suggestions I have for upgrades are adding additional bedding to the closets for use (blankets and proper sized top sheets for the bunks) and the toilet in second bathroom needs new wax ring, it is very wobbly.

Great vacation. Wonderful place to stay. New grills were very nice right outside the room. This room is amazingly close to the beach.Pools and hot tubs were very clean. All the bed mattresses were extremely soft and not good for bad backs.

Our ground floor level walked right out to the pool on the gulf side. It was great! The downside was the chairs and table outside were not very comfortable. It was very easy to get our beach chairs from the company.

The condo is showing some wear still clean. Gulfside at Destin West is the perfect location. It's just a few steps from the beach and there are several pools to choose from, both heated and not, which provide an awesome family experience.

Candice A. from Murfreesboro, TN United States recommends this vacation rental.
I normally don't leave reviews but wanted to for this stay bc there were several things I wish we would have known. Pros- great location loved the 1st floor and quick walk to the beach and right at the pool. The condo was fully stocked with everything we could need or want. Loved that it came with beach chairs and umbrella! Cons- nothing opens until 9am which means no pool and no reserving of chairs until then after standing in line. Since nothing opens until 9 the patio gates remain locked until after 9 and sometimes it was 930 so we had to carry all ther beach toys from the back patio through the condo to go out the other door bc that's the only way in and out from 10pm-9am. Doesn't seem too bad except when you have younger kids that like to beach early and crab hunt at night. We also had things stolen from our patio (towels hanging out to dry). And like past reviewers the washer and drier were the loudest thing we've ever heard! So were the bathroom vent hoods. I was very pleased with the after hour service bc our smoke alarm was chirping bc of the battery and they responded via text very quickly!

Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals is wonderful to work with. I had to cancel a rental time in May and they were able to use my deposit for a weekend in March. They are so easy to work with! I was even able to get an early check in and late check out for only $100 more! They are amazing!

DERRICK J. from United States recommends this vacation rental.
Condo was clean and ready for our stay. We got a call on the way down to inform us the washing machine was broken. They offered to clean our clothes for us. We are staying again in G105 this fall so hopefully the issue be will resolved. The ground level is so convenient when we have the grandkids. Also the condo is located near the shallow end of the pool. Like that Sugar Sands rental has the 3 night minimum (most have 7 night minimum) and flexible on the check in day.

It was great to have you back again. DWG 105 is very convenient being on the ground level. Especially with grandkids. See you in the fall. Nice and cool then. Sugar Sands Vacation Rentals
