We were here for spring break and unfortunately the weather took a cold turn. The resort should be awesome. We were staying in a 3 bedroom condo in the Heron building on the bay side. This resort manages to make bayside accommodations almost as desirable as gulf front with the great lazy river pool and several other pools located on... More

We stayed here (a family of eight) for ten days in April. Would recommend this condo for families. This room was well kept and came with a king, a bunk, a queen and pullout bed in the living room. Dining table, dishwasher, washer and dryer, microwave, coffeemaker, blender. crab pot and large fridge/freezer with water and icemaker. Great hot tub... More

We stayed in the Heron 303. I could have stayed in the condo the whole time, it was breath taking. The views were amazing and condo was so spacious that seven of us were comfortable. I hope to go again next year.

The pools and lazy river areas are very nice. They are better than some more upper class condos. The Condo Complex is conveniently located for both Destin or Ft. Walton Beach access. I liked the fact that there was direct bay access. The condo is a little dated, but still OK. I would stay here again.

This resort is located on the main highway going through Fort Walton Beach. It is right next door to a Fudpuckers which is quite convenient. The condo we stayed in was in the Heron on the bay side. It was very large with great furnishings. They have several nice pools and lots of deck space for laying out. Some of... More

We travel to northwest Florida beaches several times a year and Destin West was our go to rental. We have stayed both beach and bayside, and while the bayside condos are newer and therefore probably cleaner, we prefer being close to the beach. Our last stay was the last straw. The room we were initially given was a two bedroom... More

My family stayed at the Destin West Beach and Bay Resort April 2012. We had a wonderful time! The accomodations were clean and comfortable and the amentities were excellent. We enjoyed the multiple pools, especially the lazy river. Families will love the spacious resort grounds.
