Both my sisters with their husbands came to town for my small family wedding. Unit was set up perfect for us. It was hard to find a unit with out twin beds. This unit had the perfect set up for us.

We do an annual family trip each year and this one was the best. We had a party of 9 and this condo had plenty of space where everyone was not crowded. It was fully stocked. The location was wonderful and enjoyed not having to wait for elevators. My family wants to book this condo again for next year.

We were very pleased with our stay here. The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Check-in was as simple as it gets and management was quick to respond when we had a small issue. The balcony was, by far, my favorite! Quite expansive and the sunrise and sunset views were spectacular. The locations was wonderful, as well.
As for the negatives, I question the cleanliness of the unit, especially the kitchen. It was a long, rather indirect path to the beach (although very close to the lazy river :). The beach chairs were very rusted and one was completely broken (but it was the end of the season, so that's understandable).
Overall, near perfect accommodations. And I do feel that we could have had the unit cleaned again had we asked immediately.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The condo met all our expectations. We did have a problem with ice maker not making any ice while we were there. No problem as we purchased ice while we were out. The only other thing that we had was no broom was in the condo and as we had toddlers we had to constantly break out vacuum when a broom and a dustpan would have made it easier. We stayed in Phoenix 2022 and Heron 2023. Definitely will return.

Simple rental process, with clear and quick replies.
We had poor weather for Florida (high 50's for most days, including a minor tropical storm) and the size of the condo and it's amenities provided ample opportunity for relaxation on our spring break. Would definitely do again.

This place is wonderful! Very spacious unit and gorgeous grounds! The kids spent more time in the lazy River than the beach. And we spent a lot of time on the huge balcony. There were enough chairs for all ten of us. The bay was a wonderful view with a morning cup of coffee! I do have a suggestion for the unit. There is space in the smaller guest room with the king bed to put a chest of drawers or a dresser. We typically like to unpack our belongings when we stay for a week instead of living out of suitcases A chest would've been nice. Also, a few more hand towel and washcloths would've been helpful. Overall though this place is amazing and we would definitely return!!

We have stayed at Destin West many times over the years, but Heron 603 is by far the best room with the best view. We have a large family from grandparents to school age kids and this unit easily accommodated all of us. The views of the sunrise and sunset over the bay from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. The bonus bar on the balcony has a fridge which holds a lot of drinks and is super convenient on hot summer days. Watching the boats and wildlife in the bay provided hours of entertainment and a relaxing view. Access to all of the pools was easy and convenient. Our only complaint is that we will have to wait until next year for our next vacation! =)

6 weeks away from the cold in a spacious bay view condo
My wife and I enjoyed our 6 weeks in this condo. The view over the Bay is impressive. There is always something to watch, wind surfers, kite surfers, paddle board sailing, Air Force planes, fishing boats, tug boats and barges, and plenty of fish and Manta Rays to keep your eyes busy. The dolphins are there playing just beyond the pier.
Sunrises are fantastic. With a 600 square foot corner balcony, there is always a place to sit on it, even in the rain, to enjoy the Florida Panhandle. The dining room is surrounded by glass on two sides so every meal has an enjoyable view.
This was our Third time in 4 years renting this condo. Obviously, we really enjoy our stay. It is also our 5th rental with David at Coastal Vibes Vacations. We are very happy with his staff and service.

Another fabulous week in Heron 603
We love coming here, back to our "second home" in Florida. The condo is the perfect size - it's wonderful sitting out watching the sun rise, hearing the jets overhead, watching Dolphins swim - even saw a Manatee this year. We shall return!!!

This is my family's 2nd year staying at a Coastal Vibes Vacation property and we have no complaints. Both years, we had to contact the property owners upon check-in due to a broken lock on the bathroom door (last year) and a stopped up sink (this year) and they had maintenance stop by immediately and rectify the issue. And the maintenance man was so nice and even provided us with a couple of his favorite places to eat! 😁 We will definitely look at future vacations with Coastal Vibe Vacations as everything from booking, check-in/check-out, maintenance requests, general questions, etc… is handled so quickly and effectively and with such friendliness! Thank you to Coastal Vibe for opening up your property for me and my family to create even more great memories together!!

We loved staying here. This is our second time staying at Heron 603. We love everything about this place. You can sit on the balcony and look at the dolphins and stingrays in the bay. You also can see a little of the ocean. It's a beautiful place. We love it here. Wish I could afford to stay a month.

Summer 2021
Overall the vacation was great. We did have to spend half the time we stayed with no air conditioning to a part of the condo. We purchased additional fans to help with the heat but it was still extremely hot in the rooms near the front door. After a couple reach outs to the company the AC unit was replaced. The condo was decorated very well and I could definitely see myself staying here again.
