We were very excited about our unit right on the beach. We drove down 14 hours from Illinois. Along the way, my husband became very ill. We arrived a couple of hours early and I went to the local Publix to get meds and Sprite. We waited in parking garage until 4. As we were unloading our vehicle, one of the cleaners approached us and told us that the unit was not ready. I told her it was crucial we get in the unit as my husband was very ill. She told me the beds weren't made and the floors not cleaned. I told her my husband needed to get into the air conditioning and lay down. We were allowed to come in, where my husband laid on the couch and they cleaned around him. Once they finished in the bedroom, my husband moved into there. I do realize it had been a busy holiday weekend and we had unusual circumstances that we needed in the unit right at 4. We really enjoyed the location of the unit, we watched the sun come up every morning and enjoyed breakfast out on the balcony. We loved the fact that 2 beach chairs and umbrella was included, which we utilized daily. The pool right on the property was superb on the hot sunny afternoons. We are considering coming back for the New Years and highly recommend this unit.

This is a great condo in an excellent location. Beach and property were pristine with plenty of pools on the property and nearby restaurants/shops to keep my family (with an 11 and 13 yr old) busy and entertained. I would definitely stay here again.

Quick review. Family of 5 (kids 9-15) stayed here over spring break. - The condo is great, fit all 5 of us with a bit of shuffling at night. Everything is accurate from the listing and it is in great condition. - I've stayed in other places that lacked a lot of essentials. This place did not, it had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. - The view is AMAZING. - The gulf side pool isn't heated, it's huge, so I wouldn't expect it to be. My kids jumped in it regardless, but definitely needed the hot tub there to warm up. - Bay side has 3 heated pools and 2 hot tubs. It is an easy walk across the bridge over there which we did several times. The lazy river isn't heated, but my kids played in it quite a few times and liked the challenge of going in the cold water. The heated pools are very nice and warm and as we found out, you can go in them on cold days and still have fun. - The ocean is easily accessible from this gulf side condo. The beach is beautiful and the water is amazing (if a bit cool during March). You check in and get your name put on chairs which lasts till 5pm. It is an easy process. - A short walk west is the pier and some shops and restaurants. - A very short walk east is a public beach and miles of open beaches/ocean. - Gas station across the street for essentials. - A mile to the west over the bridge is a liquor store and Publix plus a bunch of great bars and restaurants. - This location is "quieter" than the main Destin area with a lot less traffic. Be prepared to sit in traffic going to and from East Destin. But if you stay on the west, it isn't bad at all and it has everything you need. I just wanted to add some salient points about the location and area from the perspective of a family stay. I definitely recommend it.

Our family had a wonderful stay in G605. The condo was clean and provided comforts of home. The kids loved the bunk room and equally enjoyed having their own bathroom. Just steps from the beach where we spent every day in the white sand. We will be back!

Our Destin West stay was very nice. We had beautiful weather and the gulf was awesome. Our condo was on the 6th floor so we had great views from the balcony that we enjoyed every morning and evening. The condo had a few hiccups with an appliance but was attentively taken care of. We had a great time and are already planning a return trip.

Really nice condo. The view from the balcony was beautiful. We had great stay there and looking to be back soon. Its perfect for family with small children since its so close to everything - beach, many pools, dining, grocery. Aquarium is less tan 10 min walk which my kid loved... We didnt want to leave from this resort on our last day of stay.
