  • Summary:

    Destin West Resort - Bayside Heron 605



    The Space:

    It's all about the view at this comfy, coastal sixth-floor condo, right in the heart of the action on Okaloosa Island. Step outside your front door and find yourself at the beach, right across the highway. Your reservation includes beach service of two chairs and one umbrella. Shopping, restaurants, amusement parks, and Okaloosa Pier are all within a short walk.



    At home, step out your balcony and take in a gorgeous bay view, with the pool and lazy river just below. Enjoy the sea breeze with your morning coffee, then step inside to make some breakfast when you get hungry. The open floor plan features cheerful coastal decor and flows seamlessly from the living room to dining area and well-equipped kitchen, where you'll find a full suite of stainless steel appliances and all the cookware you need to whip up a feast. Grab a quick snack at the breakfast bar or sit down for a full meal at the adjacent dining table before heading down to the beach or pool.



    When you return, relax in the central air-conditioning while the washer/dryer takes care of any laundry from the day. Watch TV on any of four sets or use the free WiFi to post beach pics to your social media. End the night in any of the well-appointed bedrooms, where you can drift off dreaming of your first - and next - perfect Destin day.

Great views!

We had a great time at this condo. It was decorated with a beach vibe in a very tasteful manner. The condo had all the necessities for cooking and dining in. It was home away from home, but with better views. We didn't try to walk to the beach. It didn't seem to be easy access and we have little ones and lots of gear... The view of the lazy river and bay was my favorite. I would recommend this unit!

Great location directly across from the beach. We stayed to celebrate a wedding at the resort across the street and it was the perfect location with the pedestrian bridge. Amenities were nice and the lazy river was a huge hit. Everything was seamless. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay.

Beautiful Condo

Beautiful condo tastefully decorated and clean. Could use a touch up on paint in master bedroom and bathroom ceilings, but otherwise the condo was perfect! When I reached out to the vacation rental company with a quick question they answered right away. Would definitely rent this condo again!

Overall it was nice and had everything we needed. The large balcony and table were great with a nice view of the bay. The living area was spacious with nice furniture. The location was easy for local sights and dining. The elevators were great and being on the 6th floor was easy.There was damage to the wall by the front door, ceiling in the main room and master bath that all need to be addressed. The lazy river pool was nice although kids were not allowed to throw/toss any sort of pool ball in the pool area. Management spent most days walking around having to repeat this rule to new kids/families. We had two 9 year old boys and probably wouldn't have stayed here had we known this.
