I cannot reccomend this air bnb enough!!!! From the location, to the cleanliness, to the friendly staff it truly checked all the boxes. The pool and lazy river was absolutely amazing and the beach is just a short walk away with lots of restaurants. We were already missing it before we left and can’t wait to be back! 10/10 recommend for a couples getaway or trip with the kiddos, you will not be disappointed!

This place was perfect for a family vacation. It was clean, convenient to all there is to do in the area. Kids loved the lazy river. I enjoyed that there is bar so it kept it a family friendly atmosphere as opposed to the "Island Resort". I highly recommend Destin West and the RealJoy team. Only thing is the TVs on the bunk beds need to be fixed.

Nice place. Looked like the photos. We stayed at another place the night before that cost more and this was better! Check in was very easy and location was great. The side of the beach this place is on is the less congested side.

We visit my military son a few times each year, and we definitely hope to stay here again. The condo is perfect! Feels like home. The resort style is a blast for kids and adults. It’s well maintained, clean and pretty! I especially appreciate that the humidity in the condo is under control; nothing worse than cold damp beach sheets at night. Also, the beach gear was a very nice addition! We enjoyed coffee on the patio, movies in the living room, slept great with the additional bunk beds. Two bathrooms is a plus. Plenty of dishes, ice in the freezer, even a couple games and books for guests. Well done!! Thank you for a comfy place to connect as a family!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay! The host was responsive. The Airbnb was as its described on the listing. My kids enjoyed the multiple pools on the property,. We all enjoyed the easy access to the beach, it was just a short walk away using the sky bridge. The Airbnb also had a wagon, umbrella and beach chair which was nice to haul to the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for our family of four. We would come back!

Great stay at Destin West. Unit was immaculate, well-appointed and exactly as described. Communication with host was seamless. They were very proactive and responsive. Since this was our first time in the area, we used the list of recommended restaurants and activities that were sent prior to check-in all throughout our stay!! Will definitely stay at a RealJoy property again. We may choose to stay on the beach side next time.

This was our first time using AirBnb && We Absolutely Loved our stay. It’s very convenient to Everything including Destin. The Kids Favorite was the Lazy river. Very Peaceful view from the balcony. Plenty of Towels.
Stewby’s && the Ice Cream Parlor beside it is a Must.
Wild Willys is also a hit && it’s right beside the resort if you’re up for PutPut.
Also a Reminder - this is a Smoke Free Facility so you have to go to the parking lot if you’re a smoker.
I Personally still enjoyed Every Second of it.
Would Highly Recommend.
Thank You RealJoy for the Experience.
