Overall Good
Cons-The floors we sandy and filthy.The rugs in the living room hadn't been vacuumed because you could see/feel sand. The comforters on all the beds could use a washing/replaced. The carpet in the bunk room is well past it's shelf life. The couch in the living room sinks so far down it's becomes uncomfortable. The front door doesn't latch unless you let it slam shut, which is a safety issue. The doorwall did not lock either so also another safety issue. No hangers in the closet so you can't hang anything up. Fridge has no water maker so make sure you bring a big pack of waters with you. The freezer does have an ice maker but it takes about 2 days to get it back to full.The master sink took so so so so long to get hot water to wash your face with. The patio furniture is uncomfortable and not very accommodating given the small patio space. Pros: Location! You're so close to shops, grocery store, liquor stores, restaurants, ECT. Everything you want to do is at your fingertips. The accommodations are fantastic. The pools were so clean. No trash anywhere. Bring a wagon to take on the walk to the beach! The views were stunning off the patio! We will come back to Destin West because it's the absolute best, but would stay at a different condo.

Not a bad stay, the small things need tweaked
The overall stay was great! This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Destin West and my family loves it. Perfect space for the kids, great kitchen to cook in so we don't have to eat out every night, internet, view overlooking the pool and bay behind the resort, as well as being able to see the ocean in front of us. However, there are two negatives that were BIG negatives for us: the check in process and the cleanliness of the floors. During check in, we weren't able to check in for over 2 hours past our check in time. When we complained about it, they said "check in BEGINS at that time, it doesn't mean you can check in". My family and I drove 9 hours with a toddler and baby to get there, then had to spend 2 hours waiting because our room still hadn't been cleaned from the previous tenant. The second negative was the cleanliness that supposedly held us up! The floors were so dirty, our socks and bottom of our feet were black for the first 2 days until we cleaned the floors ourselves, it was absolutely disgusting. We have an infant who crawls around, and he was filthy every time we let him on the floor. If we're going to be charged this much to stay for vacation, then the resort needs to do better with staffing for cleaning, and actually ensure the cleaners are doing their job. Although we love the area, next year we will not be staying at Destin West for this reason.

Did not meet expectations
We have stayed at Destin West multiple times over the years in different condos. This was by far the worst. The condo was not clean - stains on the carpet, sticky table on the balcony, feet turned black when we walked across the floor & dirty dishes. The master shower drain was blocked. We called management & they said someone would call us the next day, but no call. We bought drain cleaner & fixed it ourselves. It is in need of updating, especially new carpet & paint. The complex itself was great & has a lot of amenities. We would definitely stay here again, just not at this particular condo.

Fantastic Okaloosa Island location with amenity options
For the owner's willingness to pivot our dates shortly after booking, I'd give 5 out of 5 stars easily! Very grateful for quick communication and flexibility. I love the location, the kids loved the lazy river and other pool options on the premises, and it's a great condo for a small family like ours. Destin West management is a little underwhelming, as the hot tubs were lukewarm at best, and when I asked for 1 additional trash bag, they said we already had been provided our single trash bag for the week. I also didn't see any Covid-19 precautions taken by the management - at check-in or cleaning around the complex. I'd also recommend that renters planning on cooking bring oils, seasoning, including salt and pepper as the kitchen provisions are basic. Having a variety of pools to choose from, including those at The Island hotel, with the beach bar there, and the close proximity to the Boardwalk and Gulfarium all made for a fun trip.

This place was great for the family. The lazy river and pools helped keep the little ones occupied. We enjoyed BBQing out by the pools and look forward to bringing our own boat next time to the dock. Everyone had a blast and our condo provided much needed quiet and privacy. Thank you for having us!

Nicely maintained pools and lazy river HOWEVER, the condo itself was not as expected.
Our family of three stayed at Destin West Pelican (6th floor) at the end of July/beginning of August 2018. If we visit Destin again, I would not re-book this condo. Pros: Staff was friendly. The pools, hot tubs and lazy river were as advertised on the website. They were very nice, clean and well maintained. The beach was a short walk from the condo. It was clean, not overcrowded relaxing and beautiful. The condo had a pleasant balcony with an amazing view overlooking the lazy river and bay. There were many restaurants close by, some of which were a short walk from the condo. Most of the time we were able to use covered parking. When all covered parking spaces were taken, there was plenty of additional parking available in the front lot. Cons: The condo was filthy. The floors were sticky and not very clean. When we arrived, we noticed the patio door did not lock. I called the service desk to request the lock be fixed. They told me the maintenance department would fix it the next day. The lock was not fixed during our week stay. The master bathroom tub was clogged. While showering the water would be a few inches deep because of the drainage problem. The hot water tank must have been too small for the condo, because most days there was not enough hot water to take a hot shower. The bunk room beds had sugar ants. There were also ants in the bunk room bathroom and the living room. Thankfully no ants in the kitchen. About 4 days after we arrived the air conditioning stopped working and the condo became very damp. I did mention my disappointment to the manager during our stay. She was apologetic and ended up comping the weekly cleaning fee. However, considering what we paid to stay that week, this condo did not live up to our expectations.

The best place for family vacations!
We have come to Destin West for several years now and every year we are impressed with the beauty and relaxing atmosphere. It is well maintained and if you have kids is the perfect place to stay. Also very well located to many attractions of the area. Highly recommended.

Great property, bad security at pool late in the evening.
Except for the security at the pool, it was the best. A security guard should not reprimand you like a child for bottled water in the lazy river. They should provide information and not reprimand you for a radio. The young guy stationed in the evenings was the reason we didn’t go to the pool late. The older guy during the day was great.

Amazing stay!
Everything was exactly as advertised! Condo was clean and well appointed! We got in late.. Kyle was awesome. Because we were getting in after the office was going to be closed, He called us while we were at the airport and sent me the Info we needed to get us in to our condo and let us finish check in the next day! Would definitely recommend pelican to anyone interest. 😁. Easy walk to the beach. Very friendly staff! Try the lobster roll at the Lobster Tail across the street or venture off the beaten path to Dominic’s Pizzaria for the best local pizza!
