We have been to Destin west every year for the last 5 years and this has been our favorite condo. Amazing view, very clean, perfect location. Balcony is everything you could have asked for and then some. Just listen to the waves and watch the dolphins.

Loved staying in 502. You can see the ocean while cooking breakfast, and hear the ocean from every where in the condo! You can even watch the sunrise from the balcony which is a plus with small children! We loved every minute of our stay and can’t wait to go back again!

First trip to Florida for hubby's 60th birthday!
Cannot say enough about this heavenly beach condo! It was a vacation experience all it's own...my hubby had to remind me there were several things to do OUTSIDE the condo, LOL!! The wrap around balcony...the beach & ocean view...the decor...all the comforts of home (and then some) . Shelley had communicated so well beforehand that I didn't once have to send her a text or call while we were on vacation. She included a list of her favorite places to eat and things to do in the area, which was helpful! Overall this was a five star vacation and we would love to stay again! I think I got brownie points with the hubby...he loved that we could sit on the balcony and see multiple fighter jets fly by...I told him I ordered those for his birthday!!

We enjoyed our stay here, this was our first time staying GULFSIDE we had stayed bayside in the past. We enjoyed the easy access to the the beach. The only downside we had was a lot of renovations occurring in the unit below us. (especially early in the morning) … but other than that our trip was great. Would like to stay again sometime

Amazing!!!
We had a wonderful time. There was so much to do between being on the beach, swimming in the pools or walking down to the pier, boardwalk and checking out the aquarium. It was so nice to be so close to everything and still have the privacy of a private beach. The views were breathtaking, the sand at the beach was so white and soft. The pool areas were nice and even had a lazy river. Shelley was amazing to work with and always quick to respond… we will definitely be back!

All-star accommodations
We came to Ft. Walton to watch our granddaughter play softball. But off the field we were treated to an all star condo so close to the beach the only thing missing on the balcony was the sand. Soothe yourself with the sound of the surf, people-watch, and relax in the sun. The unit itself was well-equipped, clean and spacious. We ate in often and everything you need to prepare a full meal was at our disposal. Choose this G502 unit and you are sure to hit a home run with your family and friends who might join you.

Everything was very nice! Clean condo! Awesome view. I wish that they had a couple more beach toys or chairs. Room does come with two beach service chairs but when you have 6 people and a kid it would be nice to have a little. But not a complaint at all just a suggestion.
