Best balcony on Fort Walton Beach

We loved our time spent in this unit. The balcony alone made for an incredible morning coffee environment. Unit is in within walking distance of so much we rarely needed to drive. The beach is one of the cleanest we have been on. Wonderful vacation unit that I would highly recommend.

First time visitors

Fantastic views in this clean oceanfront condo. We walked to the pier area for restaurants. Publix about a mile away. Destin village very easy drive. The management was very quick to replace our Kurig that was bad. Had a wonderful time.

This condo was great. It had ocean front views and a great pool view as well. We spent most of our time in the condo on the balcony. The fireworks from the pier was a awesome show from the balcony. The owners were very responsive to emails. Overall very easy and relaxing vacation.

Family Vacation

The unit is one of the best I have ever stayed at. The property was top notch and more than what I expected. I will definitely be back to the property and will definitely be working with your company. The transaction was flawless and everything we needed was available to us. Thank you and see you all soon.

Views can't be beat!

We had an amazing stay in unit 402! The views from the balcony cannot be beat! We have stayed at Destin West multiple times and this was by far our favorite view! There was ample space for our family of 4 and loved having daily beach chairs set up every day for us! The unit had everything we needed as well. Plenty of towels/linens, dishes, etc. Coastal Vibes was also very responsive anytime we had a question about our stay! We highly recommend booking this unit!

Destin West gulf side 402

This was our 1st time at Destin West we stayed in Gulfside 402 the view was amazing and we loved the resort! Lots to do on gulf side and bayside and watching fireworks off the balcony was amazing! We have stayed several times with Coastal Vibe and it is always a great experience. Looking to book another vacation for next year already maybe a bigger unit! Great Experience!

Awesome Beach View

Condo is well updated and very spacious and comfortable. Had everything we needed. Plenty of towels were supplied, which is not always the case. The property was well kept and had plenty of pools, just wish more of them were heated. Having the beach chair service included was an added bonus and the beach in front of the condo is a private beach for the guests only. Really nice !

Fun Time

We enjoyed our stay very much..We had stayed in this unit before and it is really nice..I thought check in was 3:00 instead of 4:00 and housekeeping was still cleaning the unit when we arrived but helped us put our things in the unit and go eat while they finished cleaning... The unit could use some small repairs(door knob on closet door, kitchen faucet, touch-up paint on wall scratches) but these did not hinder our stay.

Fall Break Girls Trip

This was a girls trip for recently retired educators! I love this complex because it is so close to the beach. There is great, easy walk out. I also extremely love the included beach chair rental. I will comment elevators were broken EVERY day we were there, so we had to carry beach supplies up and down stairs, not condo owner fault, but should have been addressed. The condo itself was nice and clean with all needed supplies. The air did break in the middle of trip but was fixed within 24 hours. Overall, a good stay and I will return.

Excellent Stay

We stayed in this extremely clean unit last summer and had an excellent time. You cannot beat the location and most importantly the view from the wrap around patio. The beach and exercise facility is right below you and the lazy river a short trip across the bridge. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the updated flat screens were most welcome when it was time to wind down in the evening. The beach service that was included in the rate was a huge bonus as well. The only downside was that I let my in-laws sleep in the master bedroom ;) . We will be returning to Destin West this summer but might stay in a different unit because it will be just my family and we do not need the extra room. Once you stay in this unit it will be hard to want to stay anywere else!

Loved Our Stay at Gulfside 402!

It's all about the view. What an amazing view from Gulfside 402. That was what we were wanting and it was our favorite part of our stay. The captains chairs on the balcony were perfect for our morning coffee overlooking the Gulf. We enjoyed plenty of meals on the balcony as well, and loved listening to the waves as we drifted off to sleep in the master bedroom. The wraparound balcony was great--we could see not only the Gulf, but also see if the hot tub was full or open! The accomodations were great, and it was easy to check in and check out. This unit is close to the water, and also directly across from an elevator which was really convenient. The kitchen was well stocked and appliances worked well. It was a quiet area, so it was nice to not deal with loud neighbors. We also appreciated the smart TVs in each of the rooms. We would love to go back! This is a fantastic place to stay in this area. The water is gorgeous and the pier is so close as well. Many great restaurants close by.
