Destin West - Heron 505

I was on cloud nine when I walked into the condo as well as my sister! Just amazing 🤩 clean spacious and more! It was the best vacation I've been on in a while and would definitely book that room again next. Family oriented and so much activities to do, pool, sauna, lazy river and more ! Great family memories were made on our stay there! Thank you! Patty

Location is excellent when you want a little of everything but not have to fight the Destin traffic.

Overall we had a great stay. The half bath light did not work and I let them know it was fixed within the next few hours. The beach toys were great and wagon was amazing. Only downfall is not having any beach towels to use. Very homie would love to come back!

Angelina - Posted: 5/3/2025

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad you had a great stay and that the beach toys and wagon came in handy. We appreciate you reaching out about the light—we’re always happy to resolve things quickly. While we don’t provide beach towels (since they tend to wear out quickly), we do mention that in the documentation so guests can plan ahead. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We've now stayed here 2 years during spring break and love it. The only things I would say were things that we thought needed addressed would be the washer- it wouldn't spin out and you'd have to wash your clothes twice just to get the laundry detergent out of it. Also, the outdoor patio furniture needs updated. The table is super wobbly and there are only 4 chairs outside when the condo sleeps 8. Other than those things everything was great and we are hoping to be back next year if we don't decide to get a private house.

Brittany - Posted: 4/8/2025

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was very nice and comfortable for 6 guests. It is about a 7 minute walk to the beach, but the Skywalk makes it convenient. The Bayside view is beautiful.

Ann Marie - Posted: 3/22/2025

Thank you for staying with us, Ann Marie. We are so glad you had a comfortable stay in this beautiful condo. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

The listing was accurate, the location was great, my only complaint was how bright the bedrooms were even with the curtains and/or shades drawn.

Loved the pools, palm trees and views

Coastal Vibe Vacations staff

We highly enjoyed our stay with Coastal Vibe Vacations. We had an amazing view of the gulf which was nice to wake up to. The place looked exactly like it did in the pictures and all rooms were spacious. We enjoyed all the pools available and how convenient it was to walk across the pedestrian bridge to the beach. Our host was always responsive and gave us plenty of information. We loved our stay in Destin and definitely plan to come back!

Coastal Vibe Vacations staff

This place was absolutely perfect for our family vacation! The check in / checkout process was super simple and easy, and we found the inside of the unit to be very clean, and we LOVED the view from the balcony. The beach cart, chairs, umbrella and toys were an awesome perk, no need to lug yours down in the car, or buy anything, and the quick walk over the bridge to the beach was super simple. It was also the best location ever because we could walk to all the restaurants and mini golf too. And can we take a minute to talk about the lazy river?!?! Honestly, this was one of the biggest selling points when we booked this place and it was every bit as magical as we imagined it would be. We will definitely be back~

Becky L. - Posted: 7/4/2024

The ease of renting, arriving and leaving was the best I’ve ever experienced. The location was great, beautiful views, easy walk to beach. Location was convenient to everything. Nice restaurant right next door. A little hard to get out of the complex due to the traffic, almost need a traffic light. Loved our stay.

Julie A. - Posted: 6/4/2024

Thank you for choosing Coastal Vibe Vacations! We're thrilled to hear that renting, arriving, and leaving were seamless experiences for you. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the beautiful views, convenient location, and easy walk to the beach. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Coastal Vibe Vacations staff

My family and I really enjoyed our time here. There’s two sides to the property—bayside and gulf side. We were on the bayside, which had multiple pools and the lazy river—the lazy river was by far our favorite! Our kids were also able to go into the bay (water was up to our knees) and fish with nets.
Be prepared to walk a little to the beach, but it’s an easy one and the condo had a wagon, which was super helpful. There’s also park grills (needs charcoal) on the property by the pool area, which we enjoyed using on nights we didn’t want to go out to eat.
Parking was also very convenient—it’s first come first serve and there’s covered parking too, which was really nice in that Florida heat.
Lastly, can’t rave enough about the communication! Everything was so thought out, organized, and efficient. The email I received prior to check-in had everything and anything I needed to know, down to restaurant recommendations. And check-out was so easy.
I highly recommend this property!

We have never been to the area and we are thankful we chose here to stay. It was spacious, clean, fully stocked, comfortable seating and beds, and great views! We enjoyed waking up to the sunrise and being so convenient to the pools and beach! The location was less crowded and less busy. Everything was communicated well and when we had questions or needs, they were handled or answered in a timely manner. It was a great week and we are already looking to visit again in the fall or next year! It was an easy process to book, stay, and checkout when our vacation was over!

Anonymous - Posted: 7/10/2023

The condo was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and then some. Everything was very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. We will definitely be staying here again!

Melissa W. - Posted: 7/10/2023

We throughly enjoyed our stay this past week. The condo met every need that our family had. Our only concern was that the front room wasn't as cold as the rest of condo until we realized that there is 2 air units and that was a game changer. Everything was perfect. Lots of space for everyone and the location was just right. The Lazy River was a great way to end the day from the beach. Can't always go off what the weather says. Showers here and there but overall was beautiful. We spent our time when it rained doing our shopping and having family movie time that we never do when we are at home together. Thanks so much.

Tonya J. - Posted: 7/4/2023

Great view of Bayside and Lazy River Easy access to Heron 505 to elevator and parking. Quick walk down to lazy river. Very clean and friendly staff. Rooms are great sizes and kitchen area is spacious. In great location to boardwalk and beach access thru the bridge. Looking forward to next year!

We had a fantastic 5 day stay at David’s home. We didn’t need to drive anywhere, because we had everything our family wanted at our fingertips within walking distance. We loved the resort amenities with all the fun pools and lazy River. We loved walking to the beach and enjoying long walks and playing volleyball at the boardwalk. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Amazing Stay! Beautiful Place and view. Service was amazing. Celebrated my son's 30th birthday, that is in the Air Force. I couldn't have asked for a better place to share with family. Was able to use their wonderful platters to make a nice spread of food. They have everything you can think of. If they didn't they were knocking on your door to bring it to you. Highly Recommended!!! Thank you for allowing us to have wonderful memories.

The property was perfect for my family. There were 8 of us (2 couples, a single adult, two kids, and a baby), but the condo never seemed too small. The dining room table was the perfect size, the fold-out couch was easy to use, the other beds were comfortable, and the pack-n-play was there so we didn't have to lug ours from home. The condo was beautiful, as was the view. We were within walking distance of good restaurants, the fishing pier, and the aquarium. The various pools were fantastic, and there was a great fitness center on-site. We would defiinitely stay here again!

The condo was exactly as pictured and so comfortable. Unfortunately, I had to work a few days remotely there and the wifi was fantastic! With a couple small hiccups (battery needing replaced on smoke detector) the property staff was quick to reply to my questions and extremely helpful. I truly enjoyed the place, the view, and everything it offered!! Will definitely stay again if we come back to this location!!!

We had such a great time at this place! It was located near so many great restaurants and activities to do. Plus the bridge across the highway to the beach was so nice to have. We even enjoyed the pool/lazy river quite a bit for being lazy after beach days! We’d love to come back.

Condo was perfect. Great view of the bay and lazy river. Walking distance to the broad walk, Restaurants, put put, arcade and go carts for the kids. A little bit of a hike to the beach having to use 3 different elevators but got used to it quick. Would definitely stay here again.

Dan V. - Posted: 5/13/2021

The location is perfect! We loved the apartment. It was spacious, beautifully decorated and well stocked with what you would need on vacation. The beds are firm spring mattresses but not uncomfortable. The complex is quiet. There was ample covered parking in the garage. Carts to carry up luggage. There is more than enough space to spread out and enjoy all the pools. We never felt crowded at the pools. There is a sidewalk next to the bay that is perfect for walking.
The beach is a short 10 minute walk across the walk way. The rentable umbrella and beach chair services are very reasonably priced. The provided cart and umbrella and chairs with the apartment are also easy to use and free. You just aren’t allowed to set up in front of the paid service chairs. Those have the best water views so you’ll have to pay or walk down to the public beach area for water front beach time or set up behind the blue chairs.
The pedestrian bridge allows easy access to the beach, the Boardwalk and the other pools. “Rick’s” next door to the complex has amazing food and is not busy during the week until Thursday. Publix is a short drive over the bay bridge. Tons of great shops and restaurants in the area. Only a short drive to Destin. You really have everything you need in a 10 minute radius! Great place!

House was perfect and in the perfect location to all shopping and beaches. Loved that they had carts to bring stuff up to the fifth floor. It was a little loud with the pool area right there,but there are quiet hours so that was nice. House had everything we needed. Do wish there was simple things like salt and pepper as we didnt even think about spices,but thats minor details. The house was truly amazing.
