Great View and Spacious

We loved the view and there was plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen had everything that was needed for us to cook. It has a nice washer and dryer so we could keep the laundry caught up and had clean beach / pool towels daily.

Great

It was great as always. I have to find out exactly what kind of tv that is in the living room. It looks like the people on the screen are fixing to walk out in the room with you.

Very Comfortable

We were all over the place with options in this area. Bedrooms and lazy river sold us! No regrets. The amount of fun stuff in the area was amazing! Thank you and we hope to visit again.

Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Destin West last year on the Gulf so we wanted to stay again this year but bayside. We loved Heron 309 for the location to the stairs and elevator along with the view of the pool! There was plenty of space for us to all be in there together and to cook together.

Well stocked cookware!

Loved it! The kitchen had all we needed to cook! P.S. Jet bathtub in master sprayed everywhere and had mold in jets. Couldn’t get tv to work in queen bedroom w/balcony.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love love love!! Upgrades were much appreciated. Never bothered me, but they were great. Love the new mattress in the front room. The only thing I would suggest is a stool, it was quite comical getting in. Everything is close, you don’t have leave, but if you do, everything is right there.

Great Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about our condo was great. We had an overall fabulous experience,this is the 2nd time staying at Destin west and I will continue too. The only issue I had was the condo needs to be fumigated. We did find a few spiders and spider webs, one roach and lots of ants. I was nervous because I have a child that is severely allergic to ants, she has anaphalaxis attacks if stung.

Nice Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Preface: mgmt co. did a good job taking care of us--we appreciate their efforts. The extenuating issues with the entire complex are not a reflection of this condo or owner: 1)Alarm system for the entire bldg. malfunctioned one afternoon thru part of night causing it to go off MULTIPLE TIMES (at least 5x), and each time the fire dept. had to respond to turn it off. 2)Lazy river filter quit working and was down for 2-1/2 days--not good when that is one of the top reasons why you selected to stay somewhere. Again, not mgmt or owner's fault. As for Heron 309, it is a very nice condo. Wraparound balcony allowed the wind to blow around the side of the unit, which made for a nice relaxing place to sit. (Doubt if middle unit balconies experienced this breeze.) The living room side view was perfect for watching fireworks. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Unit was clean for the most part, but could use a good deep cleaning (baseboards dusty, sticky tile from floor cleaner build up, master bathroom mildew). Chief complaint: the ceiling fan and lack of lighting in the master bedroom--15 watts in a dark room. I read prior reviews before booking and assumed it would be fixed by the time we got there. NO! So...Even though the ceiling fan is pretty, it does NOT function properly and should be replaced. Bulbs are burned out and can't be easily replaced; light must be left on if you want the ceiling fan on; and the fan makes noise! REPLACE THE CEILING FAN! It does NOT take that long (1-2hrs max) to replace a fan so there is no reason why it can't been done between bookings. We took the lamp out of the living room and moved it to the bedroom so we could find what we wanted in our suitcases at night. Walk over to beach was not bad but if disabled, I recommend staying on gulf side. Location in town and to Destin was good. Enjoyed walking on pier at night. Unit close to stairs and perfect distance away from smelly trash chute! Would possibly stay here again.

My family and I had a wonderful trip. We were in town for a wedding and decided to make a vacation out of it. The condo is large we had plenty of room! The kitchen has anything you could possibly need during your stay! The only negatives I have about the stay is our 3 year old’s feet would get solid black from walking on the floor. We mopped however it was maybe the grout of the tile it needs a good mopping all that was there was a swifter so we could not truly get it clean. Second the trash shoot next to the elevator is great except it seemed like it was full every morning we tried to use it.

Great Stay

We had a great stay at the Heron! The condo was just as described, and everything was great! There was so much to do on site such as multiple pools, a lazy river, a dock to walk out on to watch dolphins, and the ocean a short walk away. Thanks for a great stay!
